Hi Guys,

I have been downloading all the magazines coming out of PDF and just got 124.

I tried to print the Maure Castle Level in the Chambers of Antiguities and pages 83, 86, 87, 92, 98, and 99 all printed out read with the graphics blocks a solid read that blocked out any text that might have been number the graphics box.

Please help...

I am having the same problem with the Whispering Cairn. At least page 17 is bad. The red block on this page covered the whole page. Same with page 18.

And Page 20. I give up on it all for now...

I know you all have made corrections to previous PDF files - I do not of course print something from each magazine. I just find it easier to say print everything from the Age of Worms and put itin a notebook.

It shows up on screen fine, but doesn't print fine? That sounds like a problem with either your PDF reader software or your print driver/printer setup.

The first thing I'd do is make sure you're opening them with Adobe Reader 8, which is WAY better than any previous version. (It was just updated to 8.1 recently.) You can get it for free at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.

If you still have the problem after that, check the website for your printer's manufacturer, and see if they have updated drivers.

Yes, I really think it is a problem at my end now. I found that I had printed a copy of Blood of Malar previously and last night when I tried to print it again (mistakenly) I had the same problem but the first one was fine. I now think the problem came after upgrading to VISTA. Who knows how I might resolve this one soon.

I work on it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I am running Adobe Professional 8.0.

I think my short term solution is to print from my wife's computer. She is still running XP. I have the latest printer driver so something needs to be fixed for VISTA either at Adobe or the printer driver...

Yup - printing from the wife's computer did it. Long Live VISTA...

We've found that Adobe Reader is a bit more reliable than Adobe Acrobat Pro when it comes to displaying PDFs. Fortunately, you can have them both installed simultaneously. My recommendation is that you use Reader for reading, and the full Acrobat only when you actually need to use the extra authoring features it offers.

I will give it a try.

Nothing is working. I have to print off my laptop. It has got to be a vista problem. A new driver doesn't work either.
