Can't print a PDF generate by Inv 2010

I have a weird bug.. When I generate drawing in PDF from Inventor, some of them can't be printed. I keep all the same setup, don't add any security, or something like that. But, when I open the PDF with Adobe and try to print it, I have an error message and Adobe crash.. It's not just me, because it's my customer who report me the bug and I have the same bug on my computer. I have attach the PDF file, so you can try it if you want !!
Anyone can help me on that one !

Thanks

How are you generating the pdf? If you use Save As... or Export As....it doesn't seem to print well. We have the same issues.
When you "print" with Acrobat PDFWriter you shouldn't run into these issues. Edited by: sjthielbar on Jan 18, 2010 10:26 AM

I have try by "Export" and by "save as". Same result. I have try with Primo PDF and i'm able to print it...

So, it's only when I generate the PDF directly from Inventor. And it's not only for this drawing, it's aprox. 25% of the PDF I do. Same idw template, and same kind of parts and drawing. I can't find the element who cause the problem.....

It opens fine, but I can't print it. Returns the error (no pages selected).
Using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.

I have no problem printing PDF's that I generate from IV2010sp2 using the
Export>PDF function. Possible something with your system or install of IV

The error seems to be coming from the symbols layer. I can print the pdf
just fine when I turn that one layer off. Look at what you have on this
drawing compared to others to see what exactly on that layer is causing the
issue.
