Ghost Images - Pages to PDF, Kinko's Printing

I could really use some help here. I am trying to print about 8 pages of images & text in the Extreme Template. When I export the file to PDF everything looks fine, I then took it to kinko's to be printed on card stock and binded and when they did that the entire document had ghost images all over the place and really ruins the document. If anyone can help, that would be great!

Hello Matt,
this is a strange problem I have never heard before. Are you able to print the document by yourself or by a friend to verify the "printing only" problem? I am right to think you have looked at the document a couple of times yet, since you now the problem, and there is nothing you can see by turning the visibility of the layout guides and the invisibles on (with the menu "View/Show Layout" and "View/Show Invisibles") and zooming in and out? Select all with a frame select by dragging the mouse pointer from the print margin over the page and see if there are some unexpected objects, even if this is very improbable.
If you are willing and able to do, make a scan or a digital photo of a few pages of your printed document and send it to my e-mail address you can find by clicking onto my username above my avatar image. This was the most efficient way in the past to find reasons of such strange problems.
But I am not sure that this is really a fault of your document, because the PDF export has to be corrupted to produce such errors. Have you ever had similar problems before with printing any of your PDFs from Pages? You should try to view the PDF with as many viewers as you can. If there is no problem (and the same with prints of other printers) I would mention that it is a problem with the printer driver or other software at Kinko.
I am able to print with a good color laser here and if you have no possibilities to check that by yourself I will print a page here. But for that you have to send me the PDF. So try to verify this first by yourself.
Please inform us about the progression.

  • I need to print a mirror image of a PDF on my iPad.  Is this possible?

    I need to print a mirror image of a PDF on my iPad for an iron on transfer.  Is this possible?  I have Pages and GoodReader but can't figure out how this would work on either app.  Help!

    Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other.  The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *.  This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
    Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    Then apply the correct update
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
    Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower.  Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM.  The 10.3.9 combo update is here:

  • Print Footer Window of PO Form at end of Last Page of PDF Forms(Adobe)

    Hi,
    I am trying to print PO form using PDF form which includes multiple line items. At the end of last page I am trying to print the footer window that contains Comments and Signature.
    Right now my Footer Window is being printed immediately after the end of line items.
    I have included the Comments text box and image inside a Sub Form.
    Please let me know how to print the Footer window at the end of the page instead of printing immediately after the line items.
    Thanks,
    Rekha

    Hi,
    Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

  • How to print the mirror image of a pdf file?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to print the mirror image of a pdf file? I could have sworn I have done this before in an older version of Acrobat.
    I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Professional.
    Thank you,
    Tina

    I just tested this and it worked fine for me.
    When you select to print the cropped page, in the print dialog will be a thumbnail of what is about to be printed. Does this display just the cropped portion or the whole page?

  • Pages pdf doesn´t print text and effects

    hello,
    I have generated a pdf from my pages document, which looks fine on the screen (also in acrobat). sadly its not possible to print out the pdf properly, the complete text is missing, only the header and the images without effects show up on paper, though acrobat tells me that the fonts are embedded.
    any ideas, work arrounds?
    thanks for your help

    I noticed that if I download it in Firefox there is not scaling problem. Also, Firefox is set to automatically download the file to my computer. When using Safari, the pdf is viewing from within Safari. If you try to print from this view, you'll notice the preview is scaled wrong. Also, if you download to pdf in the print menu, the pdf will exhibit the same scaling problem, but if you download the pdf using save as, it scales correctly. Is this a Safari bug?

  • Certain PDF files only print blank pages

    I recently upgraded to Adobe Pro 9 Windows.  Everything was great until I received a couple pdf files by email this morning that I needed to print and sign.  All other pdf files on my computer print fine.  These two pdf files go to the printer but only print out blank pages.  Any thoughts?

    My printer light blinks like it's receiving something, but then never prints.  The light stops blinking and the printer icon in the corner goes away like it thinks it printed. 
    I'm puzzled too.  I've never not been able to print a PDF file.  I've also never worked so hard to do so!  Frustrating to say the least. 
    Each page printed as an image (the only way it will print at all) takes about 2-3 minutes to print ... EACH PAGE.  Ugh.  A real time waster for sure.

  • PDF files only print as "images"

    My computer recently crashed and I was forced to reset it to factory settings and reinstall all my programs and data.  I downloaded Acrobat Reader XI, but have been unable to print PDF documents other than as "images."  It now takes several minutes to download each page before it prints.  I have gone into the advanced settings and tried all kinds of options, the only one that seems to work is to print as an image.  Help!

  • PDFs won't print all pages; spool disappears in printer

    I've got the latest and greatest of acrobat pro on mac os x 10.5.7.  I'm printing a 2 MB PDF, that's 28 pages.  For the life of me... I can't get it (or any document) to print more than 4 pages.  I've tried printing from multiple computers, rebooting machines, the job will disappear out of the print monitor spool.  The Printer I have is Konica Minolta 5550 connected via ethernet... I wasn't sure if this was related to Acrobat or the Printer, so I decided to print a 10 page indesign document... printed flawlessly...

    Met with IT. tried to install a native driver (as opposed to a generic postscript).  Same problem.  There's a solution that sits outside of Acrobat... Mac OS X "Prevew", prints the doc flawlessly.  I'm not sure what else to do. I've even tried some advanced settings to print as image, where it takes a long time to flatten each page, then print.. no pages will print. I'm inclined to say it's a memory issue between the Mac and this printer, but perplexed because there is no issue with "Preview"...

  • Reinstalled Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 won't let me print web pages to PDFs

    I'm really ticked at Adobe's "help" in updating the program only to cause a lot of misery.  I'd read Acrobat had a security update, and got a constant reminder from Adobe update to install the available update.  I've been using Acrobat Pro 8.1.6 with absolutely no problems printing web pages to PDFs.  I installed the 8.1.7 update which immediately disabled Acrobat completely.  So I wasted a lot of time uninstalling Acrobat and reinstalling sequential versions to get back to 8.1.6.  Now I can't print web pages to a PDF.
    I had NOT done anything else to installed programs in the meantime, except that probably Norton has automatically updated antivirus files in the background.  I don't have any problems using Acrobat to open and print an existing PDF, or to create new PDFs from my scanner.  I can do a hardcopy print of a webpage by selecting my Brother printer.  From Word 2002 and Excel 2002, I can create a PDF by "printing" to Acrobat as usual.   The only problem is creating a PDF by "printing" a webpage by selecting Acrobat as the device from the list of available printers.  This problem happens both with Firefox and with Internet Explorer 7.
    I have Windows XP Pro SP3.  I did the most recent Windows Tuesday security update several days before messing around with Acrobat and did not have any problems printing PDF files from Firefox or IE7.  So, it seems like it's clearly an Adobe Acrobat problem.  I get the small box saying "Preparing to Print" which goes nowhere and then I have to use the Task Manager to get out of the loop.  That closes Firefox, and when I reopen Firefox, the same webpage comes up.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

    I have a problem with my Pages
    My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
    I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
    I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
    fonts are missing...
    Is there a workaround.
    I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
    I need help
    thanks a zillion

    The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
    Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
    Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
    You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
    The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
    I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
    What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
    So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
    I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
    The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
    So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
    To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
    Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
    If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
    So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
    Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
    Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
    Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
    Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
    Good luck,

  • When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

    Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

  • Export to PDF is not printing all the columns in one single page.

    Hi,
    I have a report, I am exporting the report to PDF, but ALL the columns are not printing in a single page, It is getting printed 2 or more pages.
    I am okay if I have a horizontal scroll bar or if the test size is reduced. Please see the recording and let me know whether it is possible.

    Sorry sir, It is a slip of the tongue, I corrected my response already.
    So it is defenitely possible to make ALL the columns appear in the same page in PDF regardless of how much width the report occupies?
    If yes, can I see a horizontal scroll bar or the text will be shrinked to fit the page?

  • How to print (save) pages as PDF in Safari?

    I´m running Lion, we´re getting better acquainted. However, with Safari I´m having problems when I try to save a web page as a PDF using the Print-Save PDF options. It tells me the file cannot be saved. I try duplicating, exporting, etc, and the only solution I´ve found is to email the document, which, when attatched to the email arrives as a PDF with no problem whatsoever. This is silly (close to dancing infront of my MacBook Pro with a black chicken spitting rum in all directions). Please help!

    Hi ...
    Might be a plugin causing this..
    Quit Safari.
    Go to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
