I just want to know what channels are available in my car

Can anyone tell me how to make this .pdf print?

When I attempt to print it, I get an Acrobat Reader error saying that the document could not be printed.

Can I make it stop flashing?

I saved it and tried to print it and I got nowhere again.

It prints for me, and the file is not encrypted or locked, so maybe it's a problem with your printer. There's a lot of graphics and stuff there, perhaps your printer just can't deal with something that complex?

What, exactly, does the error message say? What version of acrobat, operating system, etc.? We need more details.

Did you try saving it to your hard drive first? Then opening/printing the saved file?

Sorry, I need to read more carefully. :-(

Wow I tried it at home and at work and the message was the same.

I press the 'print' icon and the windows print dialogue box appears
Then I press 'okay' and ... it tries to print but then I get a message box which reads: [title bar] Acrobat Reader
then the message inside reads "The Document Could Not Be Printed."

Adobe Acrobat version 5.0 on WinXP Pro at work and XPHome at, uh, home.

Wow, um, after visiting Adobe.com I see that my version (5.0) is like, old or whatever?

So now I have solved my own problem!!

Thanks for the assistance

I get this sometimes, and I "print" a new .PDF to Acrobat Distiller. When I open the new .PDF and print a hardcopy everything works fine.

Yeah, there was a recent Adobe upgrade, and I've already found PDFs that the old one will open incompletely. I don't print them very often, though.
