Printing notes in Preview App

I use Preview to view and annotate pdf files. Is there a way that I can print out just my notes?
thanks~

Only way I see to do it is to Highlight a note's text, either Services>Print Selection, or Copt & Paste into a new Twext Edit window for multiple ones. Maybe Grab multiples if they fit.
Doesn't seem a pleasnt way at all.
Adobe Reader 6 did a bit better job of displying multiple notes, then ose the Snapshot Tool to Copy to the Copy buffer.
Adobe Reader 8 Pro displays Notes better yet...

  • Preview.app will not display some PDF files

    Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
    After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
    I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

    The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

  • Printing a zoomed view in Preview.app

    How do you print a zoomed in view from Preview. In Adobe there is a choice to print current view. I cant figure out how in Preview.app.

    You can select an area, crop to it and print that. If you do not want save the crop, do not save the file after you print.

  • Preview app won't print PDFs

    Today I tried to print a PDF from the Preview app and it would not allow me to do so. If I selected print from the File menu or put in command+p the print preview box would not appear (e.g. layout, colour matching etc). It was working fine yesterday so I'm not sure what would have caused the problem.
    I'm able to print web pages from Safari, so it must be to do with the Preview app...
    Any help would be appreciated! If any further information is required please let me know and I will provide it as best as I can.

    Thanks for all of the help! I've tried all of your suggestions but unfortunately they weren't successful. After a long time of copying and pasting text and trying to figure out what was wrong, it turns out the paper setting on the computer and printer didn't match the paper size I was using. The printer and computer were set to A4 US legal I think (the default) and the paper size I was using was standard A4.
    Thank you again for all of your input!

  • Preview app not working in 10.10.2

    Ever since upgrading to 10.10.2 the Mac Preview app has not been working correctly.  Any file I create in it (a scan, a print-to-PDF, a screen-shot, or the like) cannot be saved.  It gives me a message to the effect that the file cannot be saved because the file does not exist. Meanwhile the file is clearly visible on screen and fully functional otherwise.  There are no write-only issues going on that I can see.  Now today Preview couldn't even create a screen-shot, giving me the message that "Your screenshot could not be saved.  Unable to create screenshot."
    Has anyone else had this issue?  And is there a way to remove and reinstall Preview without reinstalling the whole OS?
    System details: iMac, 8GB ram, OSX 10.10.2, Preview 8.0 (859.7), 700GB of free disk space.

    Thanks for the reply.  Here is the Console data output after trying to save a file.  (Response was the same "File cannot be saved.  File does not exist.")
    A couple of things I note in here:
    The last line in the output is interesting to me--it refers to a file that I saved (or tried to save) about 2 weeks ago, but that I haven't touched since that time.  Makes me think this file is somehow stuck in a queue somewhere and blocking all subsequent actions. 
    I should also mention that there's a lot of mention of Dropbox in here.  I use Dropbox, but was not actually trying to save to it with the file just now.

  • Preview app not showing thumbnails view scrambled

    Hi,
    since i updated to maverick last week i got an issue with the Mac Preview app, it opens the documents ok, but when opening several files at the time, the thumbnails are all scrambled and not showing the miniature of the selected file.
    if i click on the thmbnails area and navigate with the keyboard's arrows it allows me to go through the open files, all files open ok but the thumbnails is the only part that is having this issue.
    i have deleted the com.apple.Preview from ~\Library\Containers but still having the issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Lightroom 4.1 exported JPEG files are not recognized by Apple Preview App

    I just started using Lightroom 4.1 Trial version (coming from Aperture). I exported JPEG versions of some images using an ICC profile. On my iMac running Lion 10.7.5 the pictures do not show a thumbnail, the file on the desktop just shows "JPEG". I could not open the file with the Preview App, but I am able to open it with DPP (Canon software)? Also the file shows that it has 0 x 0 dimentions when I click Get Info even though it is about 25 Megs in size?
    The message I get is
    "The file “Edit-739820120223Canon EOS 7D.jpg” could not be opened.
    It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
    Does anyone know why this is hapening?
    Is it a know issue between Adobe and Apple?
    Is there a fix for this?
    Thanks for help in advance.

    25MB is quite a large filesize for a JPG, and this might be either quite a lot of pixels saved at a very "high" quality (not very much compressed), or it may be an extremely large number of pixels saved with medium compression.
    While the technical spec of the JPG format imposes an absolute limit on maximum width and height pixel dimensions, some software employs a lower limit above which it considers the file to be invalid. Different programs, different limits, sometimes.
    I have encountered this (for example) with pano stitched images using the full resolution of a large number of component shots - where JPG output could not be made, or if made, could not even be viewed as a whole by my standard image viewer (though TIFF was still OK even at still larger sizes).
    If Lightroom has been set to a large printed size AND to a high ppi resolution, it is easy to get into very high numbers and very large output files. One should IMO at least question the utility and benefit of using very high ratios of upsampling from a standard digital photo - which may happen in some cases as a result of using the same output settings regardless, when spreading the same data across both small and large scales. If the file that was imported into LR really does provide an unusually high number of pixels expressing lots of detail, then that will better deserve such a capacious output file. Otherwise, each part of the file may merely show a very highly detailed representation, of a very blurry nothing-much-in-particular.
    If the JPG has exceeded the viewer's size limits, a reported width and height of 0 may represent an error message, in effect - not actual reality.

  • Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

    Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
    The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
    Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
    I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
    The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Hari

    The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
    "> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
    degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
    then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
    are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
    Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
    So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus Printer will connect to apps but will not connect to EPrint

    OS MAC 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  I am using a wireless connection, no USB, and everything worked fine at one time.  Recently, all remote printing, including Airprint stopped connecting.  I am unable to access anything on the HP website via the printer except for the Apps.  My network is working fine and I have done all the troubleshooting steps recommended throughout the Help system with the exception of returning the printer to factory defaults.  Unfortunately, I removed the printer from my ePrint account and have now lost access to my printer e-mail/claiming code.  Thus, I can do no troubleshooting via the HP website.   I have tried using the original code the printer came with and the e-mail I changed the printer to after installing it and neither works.  I have a bad feeling I will not be able to use the ePrint features any longer with this printer and with my warrantee expired, I will be thoroughly po'ed about this. 

    Hello lynnmilicevic,
    First I want to reassure you by letting you know that the web services support has no expiration.  Next I want to address the issue with ePrint.  You will not have to take the printer completely back to factory settings, but you will have to disable and re-enable the printer's web services.  You can remove the web services by going to the setup menu,  select the web services setup, select restore factory defaults ( note, this only restores web services to the factory defaults, everything else, i.e. wireless, fax, ect., will still have the settings that you have created), and select yes.  You will get a message saying that the web services have been reset.  Now go back to the setup menu, select web services, and follow the prompts to re-enable web services.  Once you have the web services enabled again, you will have to go the eprintcenter.com, log in, and add the printer to the account again.  A very unfortionate part of this is that you will not be able to get the same custom e-mail for your printer.  The original custom e-mail will be locked for about 6 months.  If this does not help, let me know and I will see what can be done.

  • Preview app not working in Leopard

    Hi pals,
    I have just upgraded my Macbook (Tiger) to Leopard and updated with all necessary patches (10.5.2), but i am not able to launch preview which resulted in not able to launch all pictures and pdfs. When i double click on Preview (through Appln > Preview.app) the icon comes out and go immediately! Is there anywhere i can download preview from apple's site??? How do i repair it?
    Please help!!
    Thanks pals

    Unfortunately, yes it is a clue. The nib file in question is here:
    "/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib"
    As you can see, it is buried deep inside the application, that particular nib file is the programming stuff that tells Preview how to draw its menu. If that is broken, obviously the program can't run. And if that is broken, one wonders what else may be wrong. You really need the Leopard install disk so you can get an unbroken version of the program. Meantime, you can try other programs to look at things. For instance, almost anything will open a jpeg, including your browser. The browser will also open lots of other graphics, such as gifs and pngs. You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download from Adobe), or even QuickTime Player (believe it or not). Indeed, QT Player will also open pretty much any graphic file, including Photoshop files. I suspect you can use it to view pretty much anything that Preview will open.

  • I can using AirPrint from safari and email to my hp printer but do not get print as an option from the pulldown menu from the new york times and other apps. How can I print directly from these apps?

    I can't seem to print directly from apps like the new York times. Print is not an option from the pulldown menu. Print to my hp printer works  fine from safari and email though and from some other apps. Do some apps not permit printing? That doesn't right.

    You can ask the NY Times why not.
    Standard behavior is that Airprint always works with iBooks, Mail, Photos, and Safari.  Apps are up to their author.

  • D810 images not displaying properly in preview app

    So when I open an image like something I took from Photo Booth from Finder in Preview app, it loads fine. However, when I open a high res image JPG from my Nikon D810, the image loads initially, then quickly blanks out to all white. If I use the magnifier tool, it does show me magnified portions of the image, but the whole image won't show. Is there a maximum size limitation with preview app?
    BTW, I don't think this repro'd before I updated to 10.10.3 (was 10.10.2). Is this an issue with Apple decommissioning iPhoto?

  • Preview App printing problem

    Running 10.6.8 on a Quad-Core PowerMac with Canon IP2600 printer via USB.
    Thought I was running out of ink at first, but a closer look shows documents printed from Preview.app are printing only outlines of black characters and black graphics as if everything is in an outline font. At first it was the lower 2/3rds of the page, then 3/4s, now it's the entire page printing black in faint outlines only, very precise (while color logos print normally).
    These docs are PNGs. The same PNG prints perfectly in Photoshop. So I created a doc in Photoshop with two thick, solid, vertical black lines; saved and printed as a PNG and as a JPEG, both print fine in Photoshop. When opened and printed in Preview, both print as a series of very thin rectangular outlines running down the page.
    Started happening out of the blue a few days ago, so I trashed three Preview pref files (showing recent modification dates), restarted and nothing changed. Do I need to reinstall the app? Can't think of any recent changes that might've affected Preview or the printer, no updates or installs in the past few weeks. Preview displays onscreen as it's supposed to.....
    Anybody have a clue what's going on here? The only other Preview.app printing problem I can find has to do with printer color profiles.....
    Thank you for any suggestions, I'm stumped!
    Mike

    Well..... duh!
    The real mystery is why docs in Photoshop continued printing long after Preview had quit printing those SAME docs. Photoshop never did fail to print - but a new ink tank/print head solved the problem.
    Good thing ya can't LOSE points for asking stupid questions, huh.
    D'oh!

  • Preview.app - not functioning? Lost? How to update a recovered version?

    Dear Apple community!
    I upgraded my MBP from Leopard to SnowLeopard (finally).
    Everything went fine, but I found two versions of preview.app in my programs directory afterwards (yes, one in the specific folder where I once put it to).
    Both were version 5 - the first was build 501 the second build 502. Not needing both I deleted the older one (using my PathFinder file browser). To my horrified surprise (after emptying the trash... and before Time Machine had its initial run), my preview.app stopped working. It opened itself, but that was it. Nothing else showed up. Nothing could help, but a proper reinstall of that app - nicely hidden in my SL install DVD. Here is, what I did:
    I used the Shareware "Pacifist" to open that DVD and got the possibility to reinstall JUST the lost app - in my case, "preview". Everything went fine, preview started to work again.
    Two problems remained so far:
    1st: The preview.app that I could reinstall onto my MBP came without the german language pack that it had before (from the very same SL DVD) - just a minor issue, but maybe some of you could provide a workaround.
    2nd: The preview.app I reinstalled came in version 501 - so I lost the updated one and do not know how to update the older version to the current state of art. The Apple software update assistant could not locate it. Any suggestions?
    Ok, that's what I did, hope it'll help you, if you once face the same problem.
    Thanks for answers and commentaries,
    have a good one,
    The MacManiacMan

    Thx for the suggestion of a fresh install... I fear you might be right, but that solution isn´t providing me much happiness...
    By the way, how to avoid another disaster of the same kind? Is there a possibility to get rid of those app doublets (that I usually find after 10.X upgrades) without messing things up?
    Best regards,
    Mr.MMM
