Can Anyone Explain This? PDF Won't Print Except in Browser

(1/4) > >>

Renegade:
My friend's wife contacted me to help with a PDF that wouldn't print... Naturally my first reaction is that it's locked and being idiots, so I don't even bother farting around with it -- I go straight to Screenshot Captor and do a scrolling image that I cut into 5 pages.

...

 >:(

Just about done editing some scroll lines in Photoshop when she finally prints the PDF...

Will not print in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Will print in browser...

Huh? Seriously?

A comment about the UK govt - i.e. NSFWJust how small does your dick need to be to lock a stupid inconsequential form so that people can't print it? And does locking a form against printing make you feel tough?


Ahem... Anyways...

Does anyone know what you'd get that kind of bizarre behaviour? I mean Adobe -- we already know the UK govt is bizarre. ;) :P

Weird, printed fine here. Only thing I noticed is that it appears to be A4, and I'm US 8.5x11. But the page scalling option on Adobe reader did fine with it ... Now if that wasn't set/adjusted to fit contents to page ... Some printers may tend to (fail/error) react badly to the print job.
