Why does Adobe Reader 9 report that a document could not be printed because there were no pages?

Why does Adobe Reader 9 report that a document could not be printed because there were no pages?

When I try to print a PDF I get a message box that says "the document could not be printed". I then get another message box that says "there were no pages selected to print". The sender could print it. Other users on same computer are unable to print their docs but I can print from Word.

"I was baffled by this problem too before stumbled upon a work around.

With the targeted PDF file opened in Adobe Reader, click ""print"". In the printer dialog window, I have ""Adobe PDF"" listed as a possible selection for available printers. Choosing that and clicking print would bring up another window to let you type in the file name and location for the new PDF file to be saved. I can then print the newly created PDF file with no problem."

"I had the same issue with Acrobat Pro 9.5.1
Fix for me was:
In Print dialog box -
choose to only print 'document'
NOT 'Document & Markups'"

A workaround is to print the PDF from a different PDF reader like PDF-Xchange.
