Printing Solutions for PDF Forms

If you experience difficulty printing PDF forms, please consult Adobe's Troubleshooting Guide, which contains step-by-step solutions for many common situations. The following solutions also may help solve your specific printing problem.

Solution 1

Check your version of Adobe Reader. Go to the Help menu and select About Adobe Reader. If your version is older than 5.0, then download the latest version from Adobe's Website.                 

Solution 2

You may need to change your printer settings or update your print driver. Consult your printer documentation or company website for additional information. Or try calling customer support.

Solution 3

Select "Print As Image" in the Acrobat print dialog box. Also, try selecting "Shrink oversize pages to paper size" in the print dialog.

Solution 4

Try closing down other programs that are running, in order to give more system resources to the Acrobat program.

Solution 5

If printing multiple pages stalls, try printing one or two pages at a time. (You may not have enough printer memory.)

Solution 5

Try changing your printer's default settings to a lower resolution or to a “draft quality” setting.
