Printing problem with PDF graphs from preview

Whenever I print PDF files from preview or from safari, some graphs print incorrectly, although they are displayed correctly on the screen. This only happens with black and white figures and either a negative image with the black and white are reversed is printed or the background of the graphic just prints as a black box. Colour elements are unaffected. This doesn't happen when printing the same files using Adobe Reader or Adobe Professional. Any suggestions for tweaking this, or am I going to have to start using the Adobe plugins instead?

Please try it on Adobe Reader version 10.1.0 , Please note that this forum is for Adobe Reader on android and not for PDF Viewer.

Printing problem with .pdf

27" iMac (2012), OS X 10.9.1, Canon MF4770n laser connected by ethernet cable through AirPort Extreme, HP C4200 connected directly via USB
The Problem: I received a .pdf file via e-mail and downloaded it. It consisted of a series of forms in unknown original format. I needed to print them out, sign them and return them. I opened .pdf in Preview but when I tried to print it, I got only blank pages from the printer. The printer seemed to be operating normally in all other respects.
What I have tried:
1. Successfulloy printed material from other applications using the same computer and Canon printer.
2. Successfully printed a different .pdf file from Preview using the same computer and Canon printer.
3. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Preview on the same computer and the HP ink jet printer.
4. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Adobe Reader using the same computer and Canon printer.
Since I was able to print the .pdf using Adobe Reader, this problem is not critical but it is rather mysterious. Any suggestions would be appeciated.

*just a heads up - whenever you have problems with a printer
1. stop the print queue on your system
2. shut the printer power off for about a minute to clear any printer memory
3. turn on the printer
4. start the print queue

Printing Problems with PDF - Adobe Acrobat

Printer - HP Deskjet 3070A
Laptop - Asus Zenbook running Windows 7 Home Premium
Issue: Printing problems with PDF (Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Dear All,
Please help!
My printer was working absolutely perfectly until my brother in law recently needed to borrow my printer. He plugged in his laptop running Windows 8 (awful thing that is). Since he did this to print his own PDF, I cannot print mine.
Although all the text will appear on the page perfectly both in the document view and on actual printing, it appears that some of the transparent formatting stuff on a PDF - such as boxes you have to fill in and transparent areas (such as you find on glorious tax forms) are omitted completely. In fact, in their place I was getting a single black dot. Now, after uninstalling and re-installing updates for the printer, windows 7, adobe acrobat reader, etc.etc. I get squat. Just all the text laid out but none of the shading or boxes.
I have tried fiddling with the printer settings; the print as 'photo' option, dpi settings, greyscale - as much as I can think of and I am thoroughly stumped.
In a desperate attempt, I even installed the Universal Printer Drivers - thinking it might have been that. No. All I got was a page of gobbledygook. Consequently, I uninstalled and reinstalled the normal drivers again.
If there are any wonderful people out there with any fabulous ideas about how I can get my shading and boxes back; I'd very much appreciate it. Sadly I have a tax return to fill out (which is already fabulously late) and need my printer to work!
Much appreciation in advance x

Hey there @Reverie!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I can see that the printer is no longer printing in the correct format after it was plugged into the Windows 8 computer! You mentioned you have run the updates and uninstalled/re-installed the printer software. Have you uninstalled and re-installed the Adobe software? Are you getting the same issue from other programs as well? Are you getting the same issues if you are logged in as a different user on the computer?
I have located the HP Update Software Utility that may be able to help. You can download an run the utility. It may be able to locate any other updates for the printer.
I would also recommend running a disk cleanup on the computer to clear any temporary files and junk files that may be causing some performance or software issues. If you do not know how to run a disk cleanup on the computer please follow this document regarding Delete files using Disk Cleanup. It is recommended to restart the computer after a disk cleanup. After the restart try the print job again!
Let me know if that helped and thanks again for posting on the HP Forums!

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS4 in Bridge

I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations. The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best, but I am not finding anything to help me so far in searching google and forums. Does anyone have any info to point me in the right direction? thanks-

Have you applied all the updates for photoshop cs4 including this one:

HP Officejet100 Mobile L411a intermittent Bluetooth printing problems with PDF files

Hello,
Our company provides computer-hosted medical devices controlled by an application running on Windows7 computers we supply. We are currently using the HP Officejet 100 as a Bluetooth printer. In some of our customer offices, we experience printing problems using the printer in Bluetooth mode (there are never problems if the printer is connected by a USB cable.)
The printing problems typically affect PDF files printed through Adobe Reader 10, and the symptom is one of the following:
Send a print job to the printer. It doesn't print and eventually the print queue shows an "Error Printing" message. If any print jobs are removed and the printer is power-cycled, the problem goes away for the time being.
2. Same as above but power-cycling does not cure the problem and nothing will print, even a test page.
In either of these cases there are no problems if a USB cable is used.
The PDF files we are trying to print are typically 5 pages with 3 of the pages having a lot of graphics and the remainder being text only.
Has anyone seen this behavior and is there anything we can do about it?
Thanks.

I don't anything about this printer, but I do know that bluetooth is really flaky with large files since it's got a crappy transfer rate, could be that the transfer is dropping and freezing the printer up. Does it have encryption turned on?

Printing problems with Pdf documents created with Pages

I upgraded to Acrobat 8.0 recently and for some reason when I save a Pages document to pdf, within the print options then try and print, it prints blank.
I have created other pdf documents which print OK, so the problem lies somewhere within Pages.
I didn't have the problem with Acrobat 7.0
ANy ideas

When you say "Acrobat", do you mean Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro? Or do you mean Adobe Reader?
If it is Adobe Acrobat, I would go to the preflight option and see what information you get there. But no, I have not had the problem myself.

Printing problem with PDF files

Hello. I recently have bought mac book (10.9). When I try to print pdf files, it does not work. I can print word files, but when I open a pdf file either by acrobat reader or preview, it does not print. Thank you very much for your help.

Also having other "permission" based problems as well. Other people cannot open my PDFs even though I have not used any security. I'm thinking about getting a previous version of Accrobat Pro and installing that.

Urgent text shifting problem with pdf creation from indesign

I have eps files placed in indesign and when some pages of my document are exported as pdf for press, the text moves slightly, like 1/16" or less, but enough to cause problems. I'm using the original Indesign CS and eps files saved out of Illustrator 10. Yup, old.....I know, but it's what I have to work with right now. Some files are working fine but others are don't and they were all created/saved/exported the same, as far as I can tell. Here's a small sample. All the street name text is shifted down and to the left from the actually street. Occurring with text on path as well as straight text. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

You might also try exporting to .idml form CS5 (see Remove minor corruption by exporting). We've had other reports of similar beahvior when working with legacy files, and exporting to .inx from the original version may work even better.

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS6 in Bridge.

I'm having exactly the same problem as this guy but on CS6 http://forums.adobe.com/message/4352008.
"I am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS6 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality."
I couldnt find any updates for Bridge CS6. Can anyone help please?
If Adobe wants us to use Bridge for generating pdf's it'd better be working correctly
Thanks

What are the PDF settings? What system are you using? Which version of Acrobat is on the system?

Big problem with PDF export from CS4

Create a document with facing pages. Then place a rectangle or any other object on the master through the whole spread. Place the text or any other object on the master over the first rectangle on the both pages. Now, when exporting pdf, the text on the left pages is disappeared becaouse it covered by the copy of the rectangle. The variation of the problem is when using any tansparencies, then they become "less transparent" on the left pages because of this strange dublicating.
There is an archive in attachment that contains indd and pdf files with this problem.

Thanks, it works, but bug is still bug. In some cases it's impossible to do this, for example my recent case: it was text with huge outer glow on master pages. Outer glow from right page dublicates to the left and covered left text, and there's no way to move effect to another layer separately. The solution was to detach these texts from masters, but it's also unhandy solution.
It's hard to detect such cases unless it happen with big elements.

Problem with pdf files from ABBYY FineReader 11

I am using htc desire with Android 2.2 with latest update for PDF Viewer.
Recently I scaned book on FineReader 11 with recognition and save it on pdf format with setting to show page pictuire above recognized text. On desktop this file opening normaly, but on PDF Viewer for Android Version 1.00.1045 on my Android device it opening very very slowly and the following pages don't want to open at all. At the same time other pdf files downloaded from Net is opening normaly.
What is the matter of problem, on perfomance (1 Ghz), RAM capacity (512)?
How can I improve pdf files that I can read it on Android? Its imperative to have page picture above (with recognized text above its working very fast).

Please try it on Adobe Reader version 10.1.0 , Please note that this forum is for Adobe Reader on android and not for PDF Viewer.

Problem with .PDF files from .html files at pagebreaks

I am using DW CS5. When I make a .pdf from the .html file it is not handling the images with captions correctly, or even consistently, at the bottom of the .pdf page.
Here is the Link to the .html code:
http://www.schembs.com/0_PDF_PAGE_PROBLEM.htm
and to the .css, if you need it:
http://www.schembs.com/0_PDF_files/2011_ZachBuch_No_Lines.css
The test page repeats the same image with caption several times.
See at the bottom of page 1. There is not enough space for Image #3 so it correctly puts it at the top of page 2. However it puts the caption for Image #3 in the vertical position as if there were no page break and Image #3 were positioned just below the caption for Image #2. Here is a screenshot of the bottom of page 1:
It then places image #4 below the caption for Image #3, which results in Image #4 being on top of Image #3.
At the bottom of page 2 there is not space for Image #6 so it puts it at the top of page 3. It properly places the caption below Image #6 and properly places Image #7. Here is the bottom of page 2;
At the bottom of page 3 there is not space for all the lines of the caption, so it puts the last line of the caption for Image #8 at the top of page 4. This is o.k. Here is the bottom of page 3:
I can live with it breaking up the caption (not ideal) but not with the caption overwriting the image or images overwriting images.
Thanks very much for your ideas on how to fix this.

Hello Jim,
in my IE 8 your website looks great, I don't see any overlaps. To show you what I did, here you can follow and check my proceeding by using my (German) "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro".

Problem with PDF Attachment (from GOS)

Hi Experts,
Below is the code in a ZFM. We are trying to get GOS attachments and the same are to be sent to SAP Inbox through Workitem. When we executed, the attachment is being shown but couldn't be opened. It's throwing an error as 'The file has been damaged'.
As per my understanding, we are getting PDF file into lt_object_content_l and we are trying to convert that to binary file and send the same to SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD.

Can somebody please tell me if I went somewhere wrong. What I feel is, it's because of the PDF file being 255 chars. As I have got the PDF file but not OTF, how can I convert that ot be of 132 chars. Whatever, is the problem due to this reason only?
Can somebody please tell me where I have gone wrong. Your help is highly appreciable.
Thanks

Solved. Instead of converting object_content, I got contents_hex also and converted that as below:

Problem with PDF generation from Interactive Report

Greetings,
I created an interactive report and chose CSV and PDF download options. I am able to create CSV but when I try to download a PDF it says that that acrobat reader cannot open the created pdf file. I am not sure what I should do to make it work. Please help.
-Vatsa

Hey there,
That happened to me when I had an & sign in the page title name. If you have some weird symbols in the page title, try changing them. Then it will work.
PS
Make sure in the title name and page name there are no weird symbols.
