[ you really should wrap your lines after a sensible

That's what I got when I ran reportbug.


Hi,

Documents that I export as PDF files can be opened by Adobe Acrobat Reader running on Windows but they cannot be printed. When I, and several other people who complained of this problem to me, try to print, the print dialog comes up, I can select print and the printing appears to start but after a few seconds I get an error message saying "The document can not be printed". Clicking OK brings up another error message "There were no pages selected to print."
Works for me for a PDF I just exported out of OOo. Did you check any
extra options? Especially in the Security tab which controls
whether printing is allowed etc?
I just did a fresh install of Squeeze and got the same result. The security controls are greyed out unless you set a password - which I never do. The printing security is set to "high resolution". The other security seetings also are set to the most permissive (although they are all greyed out).

The other tabs don't seem to have anything unusual.
General: range: all, jpeg, 300dpi, export bookmarks
Initial view: page only, default, default
User Interface: display document title, use transition effects (greyed), all bookmark levels
Links: default mode


This occurs whether I select certain pages or the entire document. It appears to occur on all PDF files I create with OpenOffice.org.
Not here. Tried with 1:3.2.1-6 on amd64.

Grüße/Regards,

René
OpenOffice.org 3.2.1
OOO320m19 (Build:9505)
ooo-build 3.2.1.4, Debian package 1:3.2.1-5

According to Aptitude, this seems to be the latest Squeeze build.
Note this only occurs when printing from Windows. I have tested it on Windows XP and received the same complaint from people running Windows Vista and 7. All are using Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.
