Error When Printing Pdf Files
can occur when you print a PDF file. For example, a PDF file can contain damaged content such as images or fonts that Acrobat cannot process during printing. Printing a PDF file as an image bypasses that processing by sending the printer a simple image of the document instead. This process can cause images and fonts to look slightly rougher, especially at the edges. However, you can specify the resolution in dots per inch (dpi) to suit your needs. 1.

Try updating the printer driver to the latest version from the manufacturers website ( sorry about the 100M download if it is a HP printer......) and check the cable to the printer is connected properly and is direct to the printer.Then reinstall the latest version of Acrobat ( you have to download it, install it then check for updates, thanks to Adobe being so weird in not giving the latest patches for download) and ty again with a doc that does this.
