Affordable PDF tools: PDF Merger, Splitter, Password Security, Converter etc. Free download. [A-PDF.com]

or if you like, email me the document and I'll run it for you and send it back to you.

EO: its some source material for a Pathfinder (D&D type) campaign

I found a solution:
1. Opened Adobe Reader (with no document)
2. Went to the Edit menu, then Preferences, then Security (Enhanced)
3. Unticked “Enable Protected Mode at Start-up”
4. Clicked OK
5. Opened the PDF and set my settings for printer, duplex, etc.
6. Watched it spool ok and test print worked fine.

But that's all

Does that mean its worked? Or that all its done is spooled?

If its still a problem email it to me and I have full whack Adobe which can remove protection

print screen?

Make sure the doc is at 100% view though and full screen.

Sounds like it's been protected to stop it being printed (version controlled docs often are). Check the file properties.

Pnan B, if you aren't too fussed about layout and your PDF reader allows the option, is try cut and paste the content into a new Word document - but you may hit the same problem

Yes I believe it must be protected, which I can understand but it’s annoying as I have brought a hard copy of this booklet – (which happens to be in a different county as a “friend borrowed” it) & now I need it for Saturdays game.

& cut & paste did not work

Thanks for the suggestion but I tried it, it saved as 2 near blank pages with the following on it:

"ERROR: undefined
OFFENDING COMMAND: eexec
STACK:
/quit
-dictionary-
-mark"

Export and save it as another PDF. Then try again.

N00b questions for you all:

And no, I can’t phone my ICT support as is a non-work related document & yes I tried googling it. (no I have not turned it off & on again)

I am trying to print a PDF file but I get the error message “no pages were selected” I have tried printing all pages, a selection of pages & single pages all to no avail.

Appreciate any help & thanks in advance
