Printing in red from Adobe Acrobat PDF's
Submitted by Dan White on March 28, 2008 - 2:59pm
We seem to be seeing a bug in Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 where printing a PDF from within Acrobat Reader prints out with red backgrounds on images with certain documents, it may be in conjuction with HP printers. But we've only seen 3 cases in various offices so it's hard to be certain of that at the moment.
There doesn't seem to be a fix that we've found at the moment, so we recommend as a temporary solution until it is fixed by Adobe is to either downgrade to an earlier version or to use an alternative PDF viewer.
I recommend the FoxIt PDF Reader as it is free, works well and is fast and solves this problem for the people who have come across it.

You can print successfully by clicking on the Advanced tab and choosing "print as image".
