Can't print a .pdf

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings all;

Weird problem, I have a .pdf that  renders on screen ok, but                                              
I can't print it.  Using acroread to view it, and send it to the printer, 
it will munch along on the file (its north of 22 megabytes) for about 
20-25 minutes, eventually reporting the failure.

This file contains about 4 places in it where the page is, I assume, 
intended to be cut down the middle of a double wide page, presumably on 2 
facing pages with a binder ditch between them that does not show on 
screen.

But its apparent that the filters in the 10.04.4 LTS version aren't 
capable of doing the one double wide renderings I see on screen into 2 
facing pages at the printer output.

Is this something that may have been fixed in the 14.04.1 LTS, or is 
someone playing illegal tricks in the generation of a .pdf as a doc file 
for a line of semi-conductor opto-devices Toshiba is trying to sell us?

Thanks for any help in this.

Cheers all, Gene Heskett
