Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

Thanks 2257648922,

So I assume that means my version doesn't have the bug you mention.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

  • Problems with color matching when printing...

         Hi, I work for a small family business in the P.O.P. industry.  We currently have myself and one other designer, we both take illustrator files that have come from the graphic design firm that we contract with and get them ready to print on our Vutek QS3200.  However ever since acquiring the printer we have begun to run into problems with the colors when printing.  When the files are exported off of my computer, I use either .tif or .pdf files, they print as they should, the colors seem to match the proof and everything goes smoothly.  However when the other designer exports a file, he tends to do mainly pdfs, the colors tend to be extremely different from where we want them.  Also we will get very strange results, such as yesterday he kept getting a faint yellow 1/2" border around his prints.  After I believe 3+ hours of him trying, I was given the original CD and instructed to try.  After 15-20 minutes of making the changes that we needed to make (adding a new price point) and ripping, mine printed perfectly. 
         We both use Macs, both have CS3 Design standard, only differences between the computers are mine is newer and a bit faster, and I'm running OS 10.5.6 and he has 10.4.  He has also at some point loaded various color profiles, whereas my CS package is just whatever the default is when I loaded it.  When we were being trained he grabbed the color profile off of the Colorburst RIP server and loaded onto his computer, plus I believe he has a couple for freelancing purposes on there as well.  My thought is that these profiles are somehow corrupting the files that are going through that computer, but I honestly am lost with it at the moment.  He believes the problem lies within the fact that he does not have the newer OS, I honestly cannot see that as having any effect on this at all.  I was wondering if anyone has run into any similar problems, or if anyone might have any advice on this issue?  I would really like to be able to solve this, as I was hired to do mainly structural design for the P.O.P. and I'm having to put in a lot of overtime to get my work done along with the additional work that I'm having to do.
    Thanks for your time

    I've got a few years experience calibrating large format printers.  First, the Yellow sounds like a file problem.  I used to work with two workstations, one PC ( RIP station ), and one Mac ( file prep station ).  I tend to agree with you in that the OS is probably not the problem.  But, any Colorburst profiles should remain in the RIP, not in the originator application.  My workflow consisted of creating EPS files that were based on established color settings in their given applications ( i.e., Illustrator, Photoshop ) which were interpreted by the RIP which had it's own calibrated profile ( perhaps more than one based on how many different substrates were being used ).  Your partner may be complicating things by incorporating a RIP profile prematurely.  If there are deviations big enough to be noticed, there has to be something in the application color settings that is causing some type of corruption.  This could lead back to the operating system, but I would think it lies somewhere in Bridge or the application color settings.  Start there.  You should seriously consider implementing a calibration system if you do not have one already.  Another slight possibility is the driver's ability to interpret files coming out of Leopard vs. files coming out of Tiger.  It may benefit you both to be in the same operating system dynamics, using the same driver versions and RIP profiles.  At the very least, match everything that is currently working successfully and put them on both machines.  If there is still a noticeable problem in color matching, then something is seriously wrong and you should call in a prepress profiling expert.  Hope this helps.

  • PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

    Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
       So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
       Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
    Thanks,
           Jason.

    GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
      Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
    I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
    SOLUTION:
    The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
    Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
                "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
                Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
    Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
    AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

    Hi  - Go ahead and try the steps in this document.  It will walk you through cleaning the contacts on both the cartridge and in the carriage.  What can happen over time is ink residue can accumulate on the contacts preventing the ink cartridges from working properly.  If this doesn't resolve the issue, try setting the cartridge with the nozzles face down on a damp paper towel for about 45 seconds just to resolve any problems with the ink nozzles.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem with margins shifting when printing.

    I have an installation template on an 11x17 sheet with 3/8” margins. There is a “left” and “right” version on each side (basically mirrored) and the intent is that they align front to back when you hold the sheet up to the light. When we print a proof, two sided, on our laser printer, the drawings match when the single sheet is held up to the light, but the margins are no longer the same; each is offset by a 1/16” in the same direction. BUT when you print one sided on our printer and hold the 2 sheets back to back, the drawings are off by 1/8” because the margins are off by the 1/16' in different directions. This creates a problem when it is sent to the commercial printers as they are printing single sided to their printing plates. (The problem still appears in the exported PDF file the printers use)
    The problem is, I can’t get InDesign to stop shifting the content on the page that 1/16”!
    If I look at the page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
    If I look at the Master page, the margin guides show the correct 3/8”on both sides.
    Under “Margins and Columns” in InDesign, I found the correct margins set (0.375 - 3/8”) all around,  with 1 column and a 0.1667” Gutter. Ha .. I thought I had found it! So I removed the Gutter and checked “Enabled Layout”, But when printed, same problem.
    I then though it must be on the master pages and found and did the same thing as above, still no luck!
    Then I created a new master page and set it up as above and reapplied the new master page, still no luck!
    I’m stumped!?! If we can’t get these margins correct we can’t send it to the commercial printer.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Well I don't know for a fact that it is, but the customer is a major International Fortune 500 Company and this is an Installation sheet printed and included in one of their product packages, so I would imagine it is an offset press.
    Besides, if the commercial printer was using a commercial Laser printer, can't they print 2-sided? There is no problem when it is printed 2-sided, the images align because both margins are offset in the same direction. It is only when it is printed 1-sided (one side to each printing plate) that the problem becomes obvious because the offsets are in the opposite directions. (BTW, it is B&W)

  • Page orientation when printing from iBooks Author

    I have a iBooks document, all in portrait orientation. If I print this doc then it is printed in landscape even if I change the orientation to portrait within the printing interface. iBooks somehow is stuck to landscape when printing.
    Who has got a solution to this?

    I'm hoping that someone here has figured out how to control the orientation when exporting to PDF. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.
    while there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.
    Actually, there is: the Apple Developer Program. I have submitted a number of bug reports for IBA there, and have received timely and constructive responses from the development team.
    Good luck and welcome to iBA.

  • Font Problem with Embedded Images when making PDFs

    Hello,
    I am revising a document I didn't create which has embedded images. Although all of the fonts are turned on, when I create a PDF, the fonts in the EPS come out as Courier. When I print to my laser printer, the fonts in the EPS come out correctly. This job will eventually be produced as a PDF, so I need to figure this out. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    We can't spend the time to retrieve the originals and distill them.
    Yes, I understand that. I like to know why things don't work, even if it takes me a few minutes to test things. You don't have to retrieve any originals. Just unembed one from the ID file. I know it doesn't make sense to Distill all your EPS files when printing to PDF is going to take much less time. But if you can ascertain why it's not working, you'll have a better chance to fix it next time.
    If the fonts weren't included in the original EPSs, why do they print to PDF in Franklin Gothic? This is true even in the one page document I sent you that doesn't have any styles.
    They don't...unless you have that exact Franklin Gothic loaded on your system. They print in Courier here.
    Your EPS file references a specific font name. When you print, your print driver matches up that reference with the Franklin Gothic font you have loaded. For reasons that I don't fully understand, when you Export to PDF Indesign is not able to match up the reference to the font the same way your print driver can.
    Obviously, printing to PDF is a good workaround. And make sure you send your printer a PDF, not a live Indesign file.

  • Problem with page size when using redirected printer

    I have a customer who connects to another customer's network via VPN, then logs into and RDS server running Server 2012.
    This customer then opens an Excel file and tries to print it out to a printer that is local to her and of course shows as redirected when looking at Devices and Printers in her login on the RDS server.
    The problem is that when going to File / Print on the Excel document, the page size is listed as Custom Size and if you try to select any other size from the list, it won't accept it and stays at custom size. If she selects another redirected local printer,
    she can choose whatever page size she wants.
    This is not selecting the paper size. She can change that on either redirected printer. So when she is trying to print an Excel file on legal size paper, the print comes out reduced as if it is trying to print on letter size paper even though legal size
    paper is selected.
    I hope my description is clear enough. If not, please let me know and I'll try to explain further. So I'm trying to find how to fix this one redirected printer (a Brother MFC-7860DW) so that she can change the page size so when the document prints it occupies
    the full sheet of legal size paper.
    Jonathan

    Is there is a difference in printer driver for working and non-working redirected printers? If yes, can you match it?
    Do you see the same behavior if you use Generic Text Only inbox driver?
    Thanks

  • Header problem with photosmart 8180 when printing with company letterhead

    I print many letters through MS Word 2003.  When I print a letter on plain paper, it looks fine and is the correct distance (1 1/2") from the top of the page(s).  Our letterhead consists of a 1" dark band with our logo included and our address across the bottom of the page.  I then insert our letterhead to print a final, the printer moves the letter (date, name, address and body) down another 1", meaning the printer is using the bottom of the band to measure the top margin.  It also ignores the bottom margin of 1" and just prints into the address, instead of going to the next page.  Both types of paper are the same 8 1/2 X 11.
    We have Konica network printer and I previously had a HP 930 printer and never have seen this before.  I have uninstalled the printer and reinstalled and the only change I have made since is to change the the paper type, under "Print", "Properties", "Features", "Paper Type", from Automatic to Plain Paper.  Neither helps. 
    I have an extended email list with HP Customer Care, telling me everything from installing a 990C driver (or virtual printer?) to have me check to make sure I knew how to load paper. 
    I then spent over an hour on the phone with an HP rep and even gave him control of my computer, to no avail.  He thinks he fixed the problem by having me reduce the top margin, to say 1/2" and basically trick the printer into printing at the correct place below the band, but the second page is now too far up because of that.
    I hope someone can help.  I found it hard to believe that this has only happened to me. 
    Thanks for any help.

  • Problem with special characters (&) when printing using XSL-FO ...

    Hello everybody !!
    I have a problem when I want to print a Report with a link to a URL where the character "&" is present :
    I want to have something like : src="file:///...webfile?param1=val1*+_&_+*param2=val2"
    In my XSL-FO file, I wrote : src="file:///...webfile?param1=<xsl:value-of select="IDARTICLE"/>*+_<xsl:text>&amp;</xsl:text>_+*param2=<xsl:value-of select="MARQUE"/>"
    When I try this only with FOP, it works. However, when I upload the XSL-FO file to ApEx, it says my PDF file is corrupted when I want to open it.
    What do I have to put the '&' symbol when I want to print the Report ??
    Could anyone help me ??
    Thanks by advance,
    Pierre C.

    I believe this relates to something I have actually found in my own testing.
    It is probably due to the Template not being URLEncoded prior to transmission to the FOP processor.
    I actually determined that special URL characters, like '+' and '&', are lost on transmission because the type of submission is POST with x-www-form-urlencoded, but the fields are not actually encoded entirely. The XML Element contents are encoded prior to transmission in order to preserve data.
    Work around would be to URLEncode the template as it sits in the WWV_FLOW_REPORT_LAYOUTS. I have been able to successfully get around the problem by doing that.

    On screen these discrepancies are not apparrent.

  • Problem with page size when converting spool to PDF

    I have a SmartForm invoice which is formatted perfectly when I print it using the printer options specified when I open the form. However, when I send the output to spool, convert it to PDF using FM CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, then print to the same printer, the format is not correct.
    The PDF generation feature treats the page (standard letter size, portrait) as too large and shrinks the output to fit the page. It scales the entire invoice down by about 1/4 inch, which throws off our mailing envelope.  If I change the page scaling option of Adobe Reader to 'None', my invoice is scrunched up into the top left corner of the page.
    My page format is LETTER Portrait.
    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

    From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
    For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
    I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
    I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
    Any advice would be welcome

    Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
    You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
    Hope that this fixes the issue.
