Dear Sir,
I need output voltage of 9v. I have used R1=120 and R2=750 ohms. I am not getting 9v at output of LM317. Suggest me the solution if the input voltage is 12 v.
Thanking you.

Your resistor selection is correct, and 3V of headroom (12V-9V) should be adequate.
Knowing what your actual Vout is at would be helpful. Too high, too low?
You should have 1.25V (Vref) across R1 (i.e. 120 ohms between OUT pin and ADJ pin), and 7.812V across R2 (i.e. 750 ohms between ADJ pin and Ground)..
Vout = Vref + (( Vref / R1 ) * R2)
Vout = 1.25V + (( 1.25 / 120) * 750)
Vout = 1.25V + 7.812V = 9.06V
It seems that you have enough load current.
What is your adjust pin voltage?
Also If you increase your load does the output change?
Thank you,
