I've got the following problem. When I'm on a network share and want to print a pdf file, I click with my right mouse button on the file and select print.

Before the upgrade to acrobat reader 8 this was working fine, but now we are using reader 8 and I get the following error:

" Windows cannot find 'T:\temp\file.pdf'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

If I want to print a other document (like a Word document of Excel) this is working fine!

Who hase a solution for me, so i can solved the problem.

By opening it, control passes to the reader first so you can print from there.

Also, do you have all of the patches for version 8 applied?

If nothing else works, uninstall all versions of adobe reader and reinstall the latest download. Sounds like the install didn't quite go right.

This is what I don't want, the users need to print from the file explorer so it will work faster for them.

I offered that temporary solution as a test to see if issues still exist when the file is actually open. If it does, it's one thing. If it does not, it's something else. But, if you don't want to help diagnose the problem, that's fine too.

The 2nd part of my reply, uninstall all versions of Adobe Reader and reinstall the latest download, is still probably the fix.

ok,

I think i understood you wrong, but you're first step is what i already had done. The second step is what i want to do if there is no other option left, because this is for all users in the domain.
