I once had problems printing Eando's journal from APs #1-6.

I got the tipp to use PostScript drivers for my printer (a HP photosmart), and that worked!
You might go and check the internet if there are PS drivers for your model. Might help...

Thanks for the suggestion Dryder. I did find some PostScript drivers but all I could print was gibberish with them. Maybe I messed something up, I'm not a very computer savvy person. Tomorrow I will be going to my brother's and he said I could try printing a page or two out over there to see if that works. I will post an update then.

Yep—I'd suggest updating your Adobe Reader, and then checking to see if there are updates for your printer drivers.

Ok Adobe said it was up to date but printer drivers weren't, so I updated those. Still getting the same message. The two windows that come up are both called Adobe Reader they have an icon/picture of an "I" in a word bubble and the first says "The document could not print" and the second one says "There were no pages selected to print" and there is an OK button on each. Just as a test I reprinted the interactive maps with no tags and player view on and then with no tags and GM view on, both printed just fine. I even redownloaded the Players Guide and still got the same message. Thank you for all the help so far.

I'm currently at work but from memory I get two messages that pop up one that says that the document couldn't be printed and then another that says that no pages were selected. When I get home tonight I will post the exact messages and update my reader. Thank you for all the help everyone.

Sounds like it might need to be flattened. I'm fairly certain the new PDFs contain multiple layers of text and image upon top of each other. You can view them, but since they don't exist on the same plane you can't print them. Flattening them should push them all to one plane.I've also read that the new paizo PDFs contain interactive maps. That would lead me to believe they have multiple layers as well.

Anyway, my suggestion would be to do a save as from within Adobe. Save as another PDF, and try printing that second one. Another option would be to choose the print option from within Adobe itself. Force it go through the internal print algorithm and calculate the layers.

Good luck.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried saving it as a pdf by going to file> save as while viewing it in the adobe reader and then opened the new file but still got the same message. You also mention flattening. Every time I print a pdf I get a little progress bar that says it is flattening it, even with the players guide. The no pages selected message comes up after that. Also I was able to print the interactive maps with everything toggled on and off without a problem, I even printed the player handout from the AP using the print current view option. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

I was wondering if anyone else was having touble printing the Jade Regent Players Guide? Every time I try Adobe tells me it couldn't print because there were no pages selected to print. I tried printing all, current page, and specific pages. I have a HP PSC 2170 Series and was able to print the interactive maps from The Brinewall Legacy PDF without a problem. If anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.
