ODT files will not print

Post by TJKroll »

I am unable to print any of the documents I create. I get a box that says the ODT file is not supported or recognized by Adobe Acrobat. Download newest Adobe, still cannot find a way to print. Any ideas are appreciated.

1. Download test.odt
2. Open with AOO
3. File > Print. Choose your printer. Print.

Does that work?

Remember: Always save your Writer files as .odt files. - see here for the many reasons why.

As JohnHa wrote: You don't need Acrobat for printing.

If you need to process the content of the .odt with Acrobat, you have to generate a .pdf first ( see SaveAs or ExportTo in File-Menu)

The file association may have been changed, see: [Tutorial] Setting the default program to open files.
Another way is to open the file in AOO and export it as PDF, then print that file. But I don't see why the direct print would not work.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the *EDIT button if your issue has been fixed.
