You can find this option after clicking on the “Advanced” button on Acrobat/Reader’s print dialog. If you are using Acrobat or Reader on a Mac (or if the previous change did not fix your problem on a Windows system), your only option is to “Print as Image”.

You can find out more about what Protected Mode/View does in Adobe’s Acrobat documentation. Keep in mind that disabling Protected Mode/View has security implications. In that case, your only option is to get in touch with Adobe’s support. This will work in most instances, but because we don’t know what the exact condition is that causes this problem, your print operation may still fail. If this does not work, try to set “Protected View” to “Off”. Now deselect the setting “Enable Protected Mode at Startup” and restart the application. Open up Acrobat’s (or Reader’s) preferences (Edit>Preferences or Edit>Preferences>General), then select the “Security (Enhanced)” category. This is not a fix, and does come at a price, but at least it will allow you to print: If you are dealing with this error message, and you are using Acrobat or Reader on Windows, there is a simple workaround. Most people will never see this error, but for some users, it will show up every time they try to print. From outside Adobe, it’s impossible to say what exactly triggers this error message, and how the original problem can be fixed. This error message is obviously wrong and misleading.

Update 2: Here a link to some debugging tips from an Adobe employee.įor a while now, Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader will in some instances display an error message that suggests that there were no pages selected to print when the user tries to print any PDF document. My email address is on the “ About” page. If you are running into this problem and want me to share your email address with Adobe, please get in touch with me via email. Adobe is looking for help in debugging this problem. UPDATE: See Vishal’s comment in the comment section.
