Acrobat Pro X's print driver causes IE 10 to hang when it tries to open the File Save As dialogue box. We print web-based articles frequently. Sometimes Adobe's "Convert" feature isn't the best approach, becuase web articles might span over several pages, and Adobe Convert requires you to print each page separately and append it to the PDF you are creating. In these instances, we use Adobe's print driver (\File\Print or Cntrl-P). We have never had problems with the Adobe Acrobat X print driver before, but on our workstations with IE 10, the print driver can't open the File-Save As dialogue box. The screen flashes like it's trying to open the dialogue box, and then IE 10 hangs. This behavior is replicable 90% of the time, but inexplicably about 10% of the time, IE is able to open the File-Save As dialogue box, even on web pages that it couldn't print before.
We have no problem printing to paper from IE 10, but printing to paper does not open the File-Save As dialogue box. It's only when we use the Adobe Acrobat X print driver that we encounter this problem.
We have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat Pro X. The problem repeats itself at 10.0 and also at the latest version (10.1.8).
Is Acrobat Pro X incompatible with IE 10?
