Printing PDF files

[Silverhazesurfer]

Windows XP Pro SP3
Current Adobe reader install

When trying to print a PDF document, the print spooler continues to load information until the printer buffer has been run out. The document size is 700K but when printing, the spooler has run as high as 30M.

- Reinstalled Adobe
- Reinstalled Printer
- Tested other PDFs, print fine
- Tested other documents (txt, doc, docx, etc), prints fine.
- System fully updated: Win, printer, etc
- Other machines, same results.

Anyone seen this before?

That's odd, especially as it works for everything else! Does it work if you use another PDF reader? http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/

The files were of DWG which were printed to PDF. Foxit was installed on the machine that created the files. I was able to print the files using the print as image option when printing. File>print>advanced>Print as image.

I relate this to how the files are converted when made. I have access to Foxit as well as Adobe Reader and Adobe Professional, all of which resulted the same.

Glad to hear you got it printed OK . It could just be that the render was particularly complex in this instance, which would explain the "print as image" option working .

That's kind of what I figured. It was a fairly large CAD drawing being brought down to 11x17.
