Can't print from Adobe Reader

2006-08-28 06:14:37 by anonymous

I can't use PDFCreator with Adobe reader.
I select print, and I select the PDFCreator "printer", and it "prints", but nothing happens, and nothing is in the PDFCreator queue.
How do I get around this problem?

Hi,

Why would it be usefull to print a pdf to a pdf? That's not the purpose of PDFCreator is it?

I think there is nothing to print for PDFCreator, because it's already a pdf, and that's why nothing happens.
(But I am not sure about this. It just sounds logical to me).

What you could do: Open PDFCreator manually. Check the Logging box. Close the program and print from Adobe Reader. There might be some information in the Log-file then.

Why not?

PDF -> Tiff
PDF -> PNG
PDF -> PS
;-)
etc.

I want to "print" from a pdf file to a pdf file so that the filled-in boxes are saved.
I haven't had any success because nothing gets logged when I print to the PDF Creater "printer" from Adobe Reader.

It does work from Word, etc., so I know that the problem is not with Pdf Creator. Pdf creator works.
