Adobe Acrobat software can create protected documents that cannot be changed. While this protection is useful, it can also make documents saved in this format difficult to print. Sometimes trouble with printing documents rests in a problem with your printer, but you can also have problems with the program or document itself. When you encounter printing difficulties, you can choose different printing options or convert your file to a different file format in order to print. These options are easy to perform and take just a matter of minutes.
