If you have trouble printing PDF files, particularly large PDF files with a high proportion of graphics content, you might consider some of the following options. If the problem is caused by resource memory, try working around the problem by printing your PDF document in shorter, successive sections by using the Pages from, to, controls of the Print dialog.
Adobe suggests the following fixes: in the Adobe Reader Print dialog, select the Save Printer Memory, or Print as image options (note that the latter may cause slow printing). Alternatively, change the print resolution to something lower; for example, 300 dpi.
Keep at least 50 percent of system resources free for printing and make sure that plenty of disk space is available (three to five times the size of the file that you are printing is recommended). You may also need to install more printer memory. If you are printing a PDF document to a non‑postscript printer, Adobe recommends at least 2M bytes of memory for 300 dots per inch (dpi) printing and 4M bytes to 6M bytes for 600 dpi printing.
If you have Internet access, click on the Printing Tips button of the Adobe Reader Print dialog to access a troubleshooting page at the Adobe Web site. (You can also locate this page by searching the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com.) You cannot make changes to a PDF file opened in Acrobat Reader but you can copy formatted text and paste it into other applications.
