Unable to Print PDF Files in Internet Explorer

This article was previously published under Q258915

SYMPTOMS

When you try to print a Web page that consists of frames with a Portable Document Format (PDF) frame hosted inside one of them, the PDF frame is not printed. This behavior occurs even if you try to use the "As laid out on screen" or "All Frames Individually" feature.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the Adobe Acrobat program is hosting the document and it provides PDF printing functionality.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, click the Print icon in the PDF window to print the PDF file.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
