Different colors while printing a PDF

I have a problem while printing my pdf document, that was generated by a mPDF library (php). When printing it in Сhrome browser the colours differ from ones i get from adobe viewer. Can anyone advice on this issue, please?
Left is Adobe, right is chrome. I need right colours in adobe.

Also, is it a PostScript printer, used with a PostScript driver? Will it always be the same printer?

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
I have the following problem:
When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
·Photoshop CS3
·InDesign CS3
·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
·Printer profile: ISO Coated
How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
Thanks a lot!

RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

Problem with colors when print to pdf in FM9

Hi,
we have some problems with printing colors to pdf with FM9.
The FM document contains (1) eps file with a green box and (2) a rectangle created with FM graphic tools, filled with the same green color values (91/0/60/44)
In FrameMaker the two colors really looks different, but so what, in the PDF both colors (eps) and rectangle got the same correct green color.
Ok, the were different in creation, so they were CMYK and RGB, but your print shop could manage that.
Now in FM 9:
(1) If I do a "save as PDF" and switch OFF "convert CMYK to RGB" the resulting PDF is the same as from FM8 (correct)
(2) If I print to PDF via distiller and define the job options to "convert all colors to CMYK" the resulting rectangle green is very different from the eps green.
I tried different job options, the best result was "convert all colors to CMYK", other options just very more ugly.
Does someone of you know a solution for your problem? Help is very appreciated. I could send example files if necessary.
Thanks in advance.

Pia,
this last sentence needs some explanation, I think. Why do you want to use the print option?
Using the print option, you still go the same route as FrameMaker Win always did, which is using the RGB-only Windows postscript driver. Now, with FM9, you have the option to get CMYK colors directly to PDF, as defined, without any color conversion. And it *does* work, as long as you restrict your documents to either CMYK colors or spot colors coming from the FM libraries.
So, again: why do you want to use the print option?
On a sidenote: I'm not sure if I interpret your username correctly, but if you are able to understand German, you'll find some in-depth color tests made with FM9 here: http://www.hilfdirselbst.ch/foren/FM_9_und_Farben_in_PDFs____getestet_P387800.html

Firefox prints all webpages as images while printing as pdf.

I save pages as pdf using PDF-Printer that comes with Acrobat X Pro. But Firefox (16.0.2) prints the pages (text plus images) as image. This makes it impossible to select text or use search feature.
I tested it with IE and Chrome. In both cases the created PDFs are as expected (texts can be selected).
I tried the solution outlined in the following links and none of them work.
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-printing-problems-firefox
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/809705?esab=a&as=aaq
I am using WIndows 7 OS. I don't assume it's bug. If it's a feature does anyone know how to disable it?
Thanks

If the printer (PDF printer settings) has an option to '''Embed fonts''' you can try selecting that. Another thing you could try is to print a sample from notepad. If it's okay you can try that font type for '''Serif''' in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Content%20panel Content] > '''Advanced''' (beside Fonts & Colors) > while deselecting '''Allow pages to choose their own fonts, ...''' and check.

Indesign randomly crashes while printing to pdf

Hi
One of our users has a very frustraiting issue. The full CS3 suite was installed on his newley built windows 7 X64 system. And all updates have been applied. for a few days everything worked perfectly, but then when printing a broucher to PDF indesign crashed while downloading procset. From then on the user could not print anything, and the print queue said "downloading low level document". the only way we have found to resolve it once the error has occured is to restart the machine. once the machine has been restarted the printing will be fine again for a random amount of time before the same thing happens.
The machine has all the latetes updates for windows, CS3 and the adobe pdf driver. Is this a known issue and are there any work arounds
Thanks in advance

I am having this EXACT same issue on my system. I am running 64bit Windows 7, and am using CS4 instead of CS3. Randomly, indesign crashes when printing a PDF at the 'DOWNLOADING PROCSET' status. From there, no PDF related things work. I can't print any PDF files to any printers, or print to PDF from any other applications.
Anyone have any ideas on this. It is a pain to have to restart my computer 5 to 6 times a day.

Settings to stay from B/W to Color when printing to pdf

I am using a FileMaker database where I insert color images. But when I print to PDF, they print as Black and White. I have to remember to change my setting every single time to ensure the color image stays. I am doing Print, Print Setup-Properties, then go to the Paper/Quality Tab, to get to my "color" page and change from Black # White, to Color. I can not find the real setting that will keep the Color button selected. Any help on that?
Thanks

that is not how it is done.
wikipedia has an article on film colorization and i am sure you can find more but there is no way anyone would take the time to do that in photoshop

Out of Memory Error while printing to PDF

I am using Apache FOP with OC4J on windows platform for printing to PDF. I got the following error when printing a report with about 10,500 records to PDF.

You can try adding a -Xmx128M (or larger) when you run the java command to start oc4j.jar

Blue screen while printing to PDF with Adobe

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to produce PDF files. A few days ago, all of the sudden, each time I try to create a PDF with the virtual printer, I get a "Blue Screen Of Death" reporting some problem on the win32k.sys file.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional 32 bits and Adobe Acrobat 9.
Best regards.

Which version of AA9. There have been 7 updates or so. You might try a repair and then do any uninstalled updates (in order, they are not cummulative). The repair may resolve the issue or you may have run into some other bug that the updates might fix.

Different titles for different copies while printing an invoice

hi guys !!
I want to print different titles on copies as follows...
1st copy - "Original"
2nd copy - "Duplicate"
3nd copy - "Triplicate"...
i have used system vairable SFSY-COPYCOUNT....
in my 'Copies Window'..i have the following program lines..
CASE SFSY-COPYCOUNT.
WHEN 1.
TEXT = 'Original'.
WHEN 2.
TEXT = 'Duplicate'.
WHEN 3.
TEXT = 'Triplicate'.
ENDCASE .
but the problem is this variable is always 001.....
i guess all the variables are initialised when ever the next copy is printed....
any idea why????
thnx ....

Poonam,
Instead of that you just add a window and in that widows text editor hardcode it as
ORIGINAL []
DUPLICATE[]
TRIPLICATE[]
Now in the driver program do it as below
DATA: ls_ctrl_params   LIKE ssfctrlop,   "Control Parameters
        ls_outp_opts     TYPE ssfcompop.   "Output Options
To print 3 copies
MOVE '3' TO ls_outp_opts-tdcopies.
In the function module
CALL FUNCTION v_fnam
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = ls_ctrl_params
      output_options     = ls_outp_opts

Different color values print/export

Hi all,
I have a document that I have to export and print (for printing as a booklet). I used a soft grey (0,0,0,30) for some backgrounds.
It exports with the correct CMYK values, but when I try to print the booklet the values change to 36,23,30,0, or something like that.
Is it possible to avoid than color conversion?
Thanks

Thanks, Peter.
I don't include images since I use Spanish edition of ID.
Export settings:
Output:
Color conversion: No color conversion
Destination: N/D
Profile inclusion policy: Include Tagged Source Profiles
Print options (through "Print booklet" option):
Output:
Color: Composite CMYK
Color management:
Document: Profile: Coated FOGRA27 (ISO 12647-2:2004
Color handling: Let ID determine colors
Printer profile: Workspace CMYK (Coated FOGRA27 (ISO 12647-2:2004))
Output color: Composite CMYK
Preserve CMYK Numbers checked
I'm using ID 7.5 (CS 5.5) and Windows 7 64b.
Hope all this be helpful.
Thank you for your help.

Reader 10.0 Printing Problem - Font changing while printing

Dear all,
can anybody help me on my printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 ?
While printing a pdf I cannot do anything else, it is not possible to touch the mouse
because when I do this, the font is changing while printing to something like grecian.
Can somebody help me on this ?
Reader 9 did not cause this problem.
Thanx and best Regards, Travelplan24

I have the same problem, but I didn't realize it could be set off by my working on another task. It is also triggered when the pdf has scientific notation, or a very extreme change in font and font size. E.g., text in boxes, algorithms, etc. seem to trigger the problem.
I have reinstalled my print driver (several times, latest on Sunday), and reinstalled Adobe Reader (now 10.0.1) but the problem remains.
Printer:
HP Officejet 6500 (E709n Series) wireless, now on USB.
Document properties: Most recent font conversion - yesterday:
Producer: Distiller 4.0.2 for Mac
PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)
Fonts: Helvetica-Neue, Type 1, Encoding: ANSI and Roman
The font is not converting into Greek. E.g. "Problem-Solving Process" became "Qspcrfm . Tpnwjoh!Qspdftt"' with the kerning overlapping characters.
The font 'conversion' has happened many, many times on a wide variety of pdf files in the past 6 months. Never had the problem before. I had downloaded new Reader, and purchased the new printer -- I do not know which change created the problem.
I will cease doing anything when I print as a temporary workaround, but that is not a good solution.
I sure hope you can figure out what the bug is. Thanks in advance.

Color change printing in Photoshop CS4 and CS5

I have an Epson Stylus R1800. When I print something in CS5 it has different colors than printing in CS5. I checked the color settings and color mode and everything is the same. What settings did I missed, that I get such a different result?
Jutta

Sounds like you have the same problem as the Epson 2800. There is a post in here somewhere. The problem is with the Epson drivers. The person ended up buying a Epson 3800 If I remember correctly and had no more issues. His problem was with Red color cast or something like that.
You may want to get with Epson. Older printer, no new drivers on a new OS with PS CS5 was not a good combo.

You could try using the notifyUser() method for your native window. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/NativeWin dow.html#notifyUser() for more information.
Hope that helps.
