can not print .pdf file

are you able to print the file if it is saved to the drive first?

if its asking for a filename when printing it sounds like you don't have a printer configurd on the XP machine. Go to START->Settingd->Printers and Faxes and make sure that you have a "real" printer configured and it is the default printer.

the printer is configured correctly and is default, this just stopped working today. only have this problem when trying to print pdf. i will check the version of PDF Reader and update if needed. i save the file to the desktop but have same problem....

can not print any pdf but can print a web page, or word excel

try the FOXIT pdf reader http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader_2/down_reader.htm

this computer has Adobe PDF Reader 7.0. the popup says output file name...if i cancel it says could not start print job...if i put file name it says could not print file name. forgot to add that...sorry

Hi looking back at the first suggestion offered>>zephyr_hex:>>>>are you able to print the file if it is saved to the drive first<< could you respond to this suggestion.

this woudl determin if its an issue with this PDF as an attachment which is always risky opening directly from an email.
But if saved to the desktop first can you then print it?
could be if the email was forwarded on/ the source was not loaded properly into the email.

i saved the file to the desktop but have same problem.... i had her forward the email to me and i can print the .pdf.

try uninstalling and reinstalling the adobe reader.....

just upgraded to Adobe 8.0 from 7.0 and it works!...not sure why it stopped working must have been corrput.

thanks for all of the help.

Good    :)
