Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2005Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 and Tiger
The program seems to work fine *except* when printing. Then it only prints the first page of the file. I've tested this with numerous files -- all of which print fine with Preview. Except for this "little" problem, I'd like to make AR701 my default pdf app .. but cannot until I get this resolved. Am I the only one with this problem and is there a fix? In fairness to Adobe, they do not advertize OS X 10.4 compatibility at this point. Phil > The program seems to work fine *except* when printing. Then it only > prints the first page of the file.

Looking at the Adobe help area, I found a fix: In the Advanced print option, selecting Print in Image makes it print all pages -- albeit a bit slower than otherwise. Anyway, problem solved. I prfer AR7 as my default pdf app because the on-screen display and other features are more usable than Preview. > The program seems to work fine *except* when printing.

I believe there is a bug in Ghostscript that will cause this on most but not all PDF files.

I am using the Gimp stuff to run an old Laserjet across my wireless network. But, so far, AR7 is the only app where I've had any problem (same files print fine with Preview); Word, Excel and other apps print properly using the same driver. And I did not use AR with Panther, so no compare is possible. AR7 *always* prints only the first page of any file. > >>The program seems to work fine *except* when printing.

Nevertheless, Adobe Reader does send PostScript code to be printed. Preview sends PDF code to be printed. The end result is the same. There may be an error in one of the filters that gets called for handling PostScript code.

Problem fixed by telling AR701 to "Print in Image" in Advanced print options. > The program seems to work fine *except* when printing. Then it only > prints the first page of the file.

Nor could my wife. I am using Tiger, she is using an earlier version of System 10. -- |
