3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content, but if printed from single 3D PDF file everything is fine. I need batch printing (this is the reason I use portfolio) of large amount of 3DPDF files because of the need to have proper preview of these files in browsers. Any ideas or workarounds how to have preview pdf's or jpg's of the single paged 3D PDF files, keeping relevant file names?

I suspected as much.  I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected.  I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer.  I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck.  In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether.  I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

  • Exception thrown while processing pdf file with composite fonts using adobe pdf library (v 9.1 )

    Hi All,
    I have an issue with processing composite fonts with adobe pdf library (v 9.1 ).
    While processing a pdf file having composite fonts, the pdf library is throwing an exception.
    The api which throwed exception is "PDPageAcquirePDEContent()". In my code i am calling PDDocGetNumPages(), PDDocAcquirePage() before this api is called, but all those functions suceeded. In the HANDLER, using the ASGetErrorString(), i got this exception error as  "The encoding (CMap) specified by a font is missing."
    Now coming to the input file (which is also attached), this document have three different composite fonts ( details are given below )
    Font Name : TicketBold, Bold(Embedded)
    Font Type : Trueype (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : Times-Roman (Embedded)
    Font Type : Type 1 (CID)
    Encoding : Identity-H
    Font Name : TimesNewRomanPSMT (embedded)
    Font Type : TrueType(CID)
    Encoding: Identity-H
    If i convert all the composite fonts to outline using pitstop before processing, it works fine.
    So my question is that whether pdf library doesnt support composite fonts (which i dont think so ) or i need to do a special handling for these kinds of fonts in my application ( which i strongly belive ). If its the latter case, please let me know how to handle it in my application.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Leonard,
    Thanks for your reply. May i ask you which sample of the PDF Library you used to test my scenario.
    One question i would like to put to you beofre going for filing a formal issue to Adobe will be does this issue has anything to do with the initialization of the pdf library?
    What i meant is that when we call the PDFLInit() we pass a PDFLDataRec structure which is initialized by various path to font folders, cmap folders and unicode folders. Whether if i miss any of these folders will it cause this issue???
    thanks again
    regards

  • Can I read a single PDF file on iBooks, Kindle and Adobe PDF?

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to read a PDF file on iBooks and also read that same file on Kindle and Adobe Reader on the iPad?
    I can't seem to do that and it seems silly to have 3 copies of the same file, in the same format, to be able to read on these 3 apps!
    Should there be a book library such that when I open any of those apps, it goes to that library and displays the books and files that it can actually open!
    It seems logical for this to be the case but somehow... ???
    Maz

    A pdf located in iBooks cannot be read by the other two apps, and vice versa.
    Why not just use the one app for all your pdfs?
    As with any library, a library can only display what is available on its own bookshelf.
    It seems illogical to me....

  • Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

    I recently installed Acrobat X Pro.  I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat.  I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF".  When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless.  If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them.  The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit.  What can I do to fix this?  Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of?  Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

    For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out.  I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command.  From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat.  Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine?  And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it?  By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
    Any other suggestions anyone?

  • What You see is not what you get when printing a adobe PDF file

    Hi, we use adobe pdf files to send printing of maps to different customers. Quite often a pdf file looks Ok on the screen but printed on paper some lines is crossing the paper which should not be there.
    It is easy to reproduce and seems to happen on different computers. Most of them use windows7. If we use another program than adobe for displaying and printing the same file the print is correct.
    Is this a bug in print driver or in the Adobe reader which produce the data for the print driver. Most files is created by a thin print solution called UNIPRINT.

    The text spacing also frustrates me, but I'm afraid is a drawback of the iWeb system. I always have to go back and re-tweak certain paragraphs that I try to squeeze into a smaller space. I've learned that it's best to allow for a little breathing room with the width and height of the text field. If the text field is exactly the width and height of your paragraph in iWeb, chances are the lines are going to bump down just a hair, creating an extra line of text which will decrease your line spacing if the height is also tight. Does that make sense?
    As far as the hyperlinks go, I used to get freaked out because what I thought was the wrong formatting, but what I found out was just the formatting for having visited the linked site.
    What iWeb does for those of us who don't know or don't care to mess with html code is an extremely complex process that I can't even begin to understand. And on top of that you add the relative unpredictability of the various browsers and systems that are out there. You have to roll with the punches and figure out these little discrepancies to get the finished product you want.
    Good luck!

  • IE8 crashes during print to Adobe PDF (Acrobat 9 Pro)

    IE8 and MS Paint both crash during print to Adobe PDF.  Neither an update to latest version of Acrobat 9 Pro (9.5.3) nor running repair installation will fix this issue.  Operating system is Windows 7 SP1.
    Installed third party PDF Printer so that these two apps can print to pdf.
    Any ideas?

    The reinstall is typically the last ditch effort to do. The first step is Help>Repair and Help>Updates. As far as Office 2013, the PDF Maker of AA X is not compatible and you can only print. In your list of errors it showed a problem with AcroTray.exe. As a first step, go to the print and select print-to-file. The file will be a PS file (maybe with a PRN extension). Once the printer if finished, open the file in Distiller to complete the process. If that is successful, then the problem is with AcroTray. Check your running tasks to be sure AcroTray is indeed running. If not, that is likely the problem. If it is, then restart it (it is located in the Acrobat folder). AcroTray provides the interface between the PS creation and Distiller to automate the process of creating the PDF.

  • Adobe PDF Printer and Adobe Distiller Printer, from where to get these?

    I installed Acrobat 7.0 Professional from the CS2 suite.  During installation a message came up, "Warning 20225, Adobe Acrobat 7.0 set up was unable to create a new item: The Adobe PDF Printer Converter may be unavailable.
    Get last Error: The specified module could not be found."
    To convert WORD files to pdf I get "unable to find "Adobe PDF Printer or Acrobat Distiller" printer. I have run the installer in repair mode several times without success.  Where from and how do I get the Adobe Printer and/od Distiller printer from.  I have searched the Adobe web site with out success. Please help anyone who can.

    Yes, the software was installed while logged in as administrator,
    anti-virus was disabled too.  I first installed AA7 using my original disc
    and the same messages came up and the same problem existed i.e.. could not
    convert to PDF.  Uninstalled the software and installed again using the
    serial no given to me by ADOBE help,CS2. Nothing seems to work.

  • Acrobat X Pro: Word 2003 Hangs Up When I Print to Adobe PDF

    I have to print to Adobe PDF a LOT.  Recently, I have been unable to do so from Word 2003.  Whenever I go to print, it says "Word is preparing to background print your document" and freezes.  I have experimented with turning background printing off, but that doesn't seemt o help.  Help please!

    You might also play with the printer spooling. Just change it to the opposite of what is currently set and see if that resolves the issue. You might also try to print to file with the Adobe PDF printer and then opening the file in Distiller to complete the process (the file will be a PS file, possibly with a PRN extension). If the latter works, you at least have a workaround for now.
    You might also go to Help>Repair and see if that resolves the issue. I would also recommend the updates with Help>Updates.

  • Printing to Adobe PDF Changes Checkbox Selection in Document

    Hi,
    We have a PDF that we got from a client from their financial institution. One page has sets of checkboxes on it.
    If we do File - Save As and save it as another PDF, the checkboxes stay as is.
    If we print the file to our digital copier, the checkboxes stay as is.
    However, if we print the PDF to the Adobe PDF print driver, the values of the checkboxes change.
    Before print to Adobe PDF:
    Yes
    Yes
    <no response>
    After print to Adobe PDF:
    No
    No
    Yes and No
    It's as if the printed copy gets the photo negative values of the checkboxes that were actually checked on the original.
    I've tried all of the different options in the Adobe PDF printer preferences, like unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" as well as all of the "Comments and Markup" dropdown box settings and the Page Sizing options doesn't seem to matter either.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried it on both Acrobat Standard 11.0.0 and 10.1.6
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    Is the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox?  If not, then try that version to see if the issue persists. 
    BTW the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox IS the supported version of Mozilla Firefox.

  • FrameMaker hangs and can't print to Adobe PDF

    FrameMaker has been hanging and blowing up on me. Specifically, it hangs when I try to save all the chapters in a book. Some of these books are very small, maybe 20 or 30 pages. After I stop Frame thru Task Manager and reboot, I can reopen the book and my changes appear to be there. I looked through the forum and saw something that said it might be because the PC doesn't have enough memory. It has 3.5 GB RAM. Isn't that enough?
    Also, when I print (to my default printer = Adobe PDF), if I unselect "print to file," nothing happens - no Distiller window opens - I don't see any new files generated. I can "save as PDF" just fine. I can "print to Adobe PDF" from other apps, just not from Frame. I can "print to file" and then open the resulting .ps; then Distiller opens and creates the PDF file. This is annoying - it used to automatically launch Distiller and create the PDF in one step instead of two.
    I'm putting both this issues in a single topic because they both started at about the same time.
    I tried re-installing Frame and Acrobat, but I didn't uninstall first.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro and Frame 8.0p277.
    So where do I go from here?
    Thanks

    Yes, the location for the Adope PDF printer had garbage in it. I fixed that. That has now fixed the problem.
    However, Art's reply gave me an idea. I am using FrameMaker 8.0p277 (the version that came with Tech Comm Suite). Also, Acrobat 8 3D came with it.
    Since then, however, I have installed Acrobat 9 Pro (which also provided Distiller 9).
    Could it be that FrameMaker is trying to call Distiller 8, which no longer exists on my computer)?
    Answering prev questions:
    "So if you uncheck Print To File so the distiller generates the PS file and distills it automatically, nothing happens, right? It just sits there?
    and
    Have you tried selecting a different Job Option, like Standard, or High Quality?"
    Yes, if I uncheck Print to File, nothing happens and no .ps or .pdf is created.
    On the properties of my Adobe PDF printer
    There are actually four entries. It does not seem to matter which one I choose.
    I'm working now on seeing if I can get Acrobat re-installed.

  • When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.

    When I save a Word 2010 doc as a pdf file, it opens up in Adobe Reader as a blank page, no text, no background etc.  I am logged on as the Administrator, running Windows 7, using Microsoft Home and Business 2010.

    You were right, it was a Microsoft problem.
    I got it...I am now able to save a Word 2010 document as a pdf file.  Here is what I did/found:
    In Word, go to File, Options, Display and make sure that "Print drawing created in word" is CHECKED.
    Mine was unchecked and when I checked it everything came back and is working as it did before.  The only thing I can think of is that a Microsoft Update may have changed this selection...I know I DID NOT make any changes in the options.
    One other thing I noticed in my saved documents folders was that a lot of my files showed up as PDF's and would still not open until I selected one and told it to default to open as a word document and then they all changed back and I was able to open them in word again.
    I hope this helps others out there.

  • Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

    I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
    Using Acrobat 9.4.6
    Tried the same document with:
    Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
    Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
    File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
    Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

    You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
    To do the same.In MS Word:
    Goto File -> Print
    Select Adobe PDF as printer.
    Click on "Printer Properties".
    Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
    Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
    Click Ok and try printing the document
    Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.

  • Create PDF or Print to Adobe PDF?

    I have several Word and Publisher documents that I use as templates. I load them into Publisher or Word and then slightly adjust them (change names dates etc) before creating a pdf..
    In the past I've almost always made the pdf by using the print dialog to send the job through the Adobe PDF printer, but seeing that there was a menu option in Acrobat X Pro to "Create PDF" I tried that.
    Of course it worked fine but asked me to save the file before it could create the pdf.
    As the file is a template I don't want to keep overwriting it when using the menu "Create PDF" option so I guess the question is - in this instance - is using the print dialog the best way for me to create my pdf's from my templates so that I'm not prompted to overwrite the original file?

    OK one last question regarding PDF jpg image output quality...
    I've printed two examples one through the Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting (pdf1)
    and (pdf2) created with "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting.
    Both file sizes are pretty much the same and the "quality" of the image is nearly the same except that the pink circle highlighter (in the pdf) is much clearer in the file that was created using "PDF Maker" from MS Publisher menu.
    PDF1 below was made with Acrobat X Pro Print dialog - Adobe PDF Printer - Standard Setting
    PDF2 below was made with Acrobat X Pro "Create PDF" (PDF Maker) from MS Publisher menu - again Standard Setting
    Is there a reason for this?

  • Printing to Adobe PDF versus converting to Adobe PDF

    What is the difference in pdf files created from Microsoft Word doc files using two conversion methods in MS Word: (1) printing to Adobe PDF printer and (2) converting to Adobe PDF

    In reference to my original question and my previous reply to your reply - do you think that printing a DOC document to Adobe PDF printer using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro creates a PDF file basically very similar to what one of the latest versions of Microsoft Word (for instance 2010 or 2013 for Windows) would create when one selects SAVE AS PDF?
