May I know the application that you are using to Print the PDF file. Also please mention printer make and model.
Please try the following:
Open the PDF file in Acrobat/Reader.
Choose File > Print.
Click Advanced button in the Print dialog box.
In the resulting Advanced Print Setup dialog box, select Print As Image and click OK.
Choose Start > Run and type %APPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\ in the Open text box. Click OK.
Right-click the version folder (for example: 11.0 or DC) and choose Delete.
Start Acrobat/Reader and print.
Note: Acrobat preference files contain application settings such as toolbar arrangements. Once Acrobat is restarted, new preferences will be created automatically based on application defaults. Deleting preference files will not result in the loss of saved documents.
To see if there are multiple documents stuck in the printer queue and delete them:
Click Start > Devices & Printers
Double-click the printer you are attempting to print to.
If there are documents in the queue, choose File > Cancel All Documents. It maybe necessary to restart your computer after choosing this option.
Start Acrobat/Reader and print.
Go to Edit > Preferences
Under categories click on Security (Enhanced)
Try temporarily turning off Protected View (Acrobat)
Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at startup (Reader)
Go to Edit > Preferences
Under categories click on Documents
From PDF/A View Mode drop down on the right select 'Never'
Click Ok. Restart Acrobat/Reader and print.
Let me know if this works.

I also am suddenly unable to print any PDF files, including ones I have previously printed. It is not a printer issue since I can print other file types to different printers with no problems. The computer is using 64 bit Windows 7. Initially I was using the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. I uninstalled that using the uninstall process of Windows 7. I tried to down load a new copy of Acrobat Reader DC but it was an unsuccessful install. I then down loaded from Adobe Acrobat 10. That exhibits the same problem of "no page selected". When I call for a print and get the printer page the 'button' for ALL is not grayed out but the buttons for Current Page and Pages are grayed out. These are NOT grayed out when calling for a print for other type files such as DOCx, DOC, XLSx, etc. and they print just fine. I have moved some PDF files to my wife's computer and they print just fine. I have used Windows System Restore to back up one level of Windows updates and that has not provided any fix.
The ability to print PDF files is a MUST HAVE feature and I am becoming VERY FRUSTRATED that none of the suggestions I have found, including those you offered to Scott work.
PLEASE help me to resolve this issue.
Thank you very much for any assistance you or others can provide to resolve this issue
