Acrobat 8.1.5 on Vista x64 problem with PDF Printer

Hi all
Forgive me if this is a newbie question... I *tried* to get direct support from Adobe and they spent the time telling me my support had "expired" rather than answer the question... nice... so thought maybe someone knows the answer.
I have the latest version of Acrobat 8 on Vista x64. Anytime I use the "Adobe PDF" printer to print direct to PDF from an application, the PDF gets produced OK, however the print spooler for this printer retains a print job with status "Error - Printing".
The only way I can remove the job is to do it manually and a lot of times I have to Cancel it twice for it to work.
Any ideas how I can stop this from happening?
Thanks
Steve

Thanks... will give that a try and report back...
Reporting back... nope it did not fix the problem. But the repair process did damage the install of Acronis True Image so that it wouldn't load... I did a Repair of that install too and at least now I am back to where I was...
Appreciate the help. Anyone else have other suggestions?

CUPS problems with PDF printing

I am having all manner of problems with PDF printing. Recently added a Lexmark MX710 and have 7 machines that were previously printing fine to an X652de a T652 as well as a Samsung CLP770. All network printers.
Now there are bizarre issues with PDF printing. CUPS version 1.6.1. The MX710 will blue screen and reboot when printing one specific pdf without fail. There are all kinds of random nonsensical results when printing from different locations. A pdf that stalls the X and T652 with "filter error" will print from my own machine to the same printer, using the same versions of cups, .ppd file, and everything package related to cups.
Yet other PDF files will print, while some print complete gibberish, I can't find any rhyme or reason or anything predictable about any of it other than to say printing postscript files works fine all around.
This has been universally in KDE printing through Okular.
I've tried some things I've found suggested, such as modifying the mime.conv as suggested by an old ubuntu thread, adding the a2ps package, all to zero effect.

At this point the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the ppd package I downloaded and installed via included shell script from lexmark for the mx710 caused this whole catastrophe. The only common thread for this problem starting was that I used this on all of the affected machines and they now all manifest problems. And on four of these machines this is literally all that was done, they were loaded in september, have not been updated via pacman in any way, and are running the exact same version of cups poppler, and okular that they were then, which was working, and now cannot print pdf to any printer at all without causing one of several problems depending on the printer.
I cannot seem to get this reversed though. I've gone so far as to force remove all the cups packages, and delete the files associated with the install script, but the problem remains afterward. From what I can see so far all this lexmark package did was display a license agreement, then copy the ppd files in it's folder to /usr/share/ppd/Lexmark. This particular printer, the mx710 has no .ppd available that I have found other than this one from Lexmark directly. Open printing doesn't have anything for this model.
This printer's driver has some kind of a cups filter driver with it that the install script presumably installs, I suspect this could be what caused the problem specifically, but I must not be removing it correctly, despite following the file removal suggestions in the Lexmark readme for uninstallation. CUPS printing is something I am new to and only have a basic understanding of.
To answer some specific questions I nearly forgot, I don't have cups pdf installed. I have chrome installed which can successfully save pages to PDF, previously it could also print pdf, and presumably it prints everything as pdf given the cups pdf workflow. That is also broken now too, so printing from the browser causes the printer to fail as well. If I save as pdf from chrome, and print with adobe reader, it works.

Problem with pdf-printing in Adobe Acrobat Pro

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.3.
PDF-printing has always worked great but suddenly there is some kind of problem.
After printing a excel-document from "Print to pdf" built-in function in MacOS OR Adobes Printer I have corruptet pdf-files when showing them in Adobe Reader/Acrobat, but the MacOS Preview-software shows them correct.
So, there cannot be any problem with the printing, but the local preview on my computer using Reader or Acrobat. I dont even use the Myriad font in the document, I use Verdana.

You say you're using Verdana but you're not. The error message clearly shows you're using MyriadPro Bold.
You probably recently installed the Mac OS X 10.6.7 update which has a bug with OpenType PostScript fonts like MyriadPro Bold. Either use Verdana or another TrueType or PostScript font, or revert to Mac OS X 10.6.6.

Problems with pdf printing

Hello there,
i have a problem with my cups server and two of my pc's. I have installed Arch brand new on this machines but the problem is, that i can not print any pdf documents. If i try to print, the print job is only queued at the server but it will not print the document. Other formats are no problem.
On my other pc's i can print pdf documents without any problems.
Is it possible that i have one tool not installed on this two pcs ??
I use on every computer the newest software and the newest arch release.

Problem with PDF printing

Hi All,
I have recently applied the 63 security notes (pending from one year) recommended by SAP in report RSECNOTE. After applying the note I am facing the problem of printing PDF documents.
When I am trying to do print preview, its showing message
"Error in occurred in display of PDF (HTML Control)"
This problem was not in QAS, but the same problem is coming in QAS as well after moving the requests related to that 63 notes. I am sure its because of these security notes only.
In PRD its printing the PDF smoothly and I have to solve it before moving these requests to PRD.
I searched on OSS but couldn't find any relative notes.
In my system I have Basis 700 patch 23 and Kernel 700 patch 278.
Please help me out to find the solution for it.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi,
Can you please check the country settings from the t.code OY01 and also check the decimal point.
Also please check this sap not :-
Note 1089995 - No PDF document can be shown

Another problem with PDF printing

Hi all.
I try new pdf printing in Apex 3.0 with printing engine Apache FOP and BI Publisher. Both engines seems work well. I configured Apex engine to use Standard Support for pdf.
Next I imported example application http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/pdf_demo.zip and run it. But when I press "print" link, instead pdf output I receive error page "404 Not Found The requested URL /pls/apex/f was not found on this server."
Apex 3.0 reside on Oracle 9.0.2 database server and use it http server with modplsql. Both Apache FOP and BI Publisher works on standalone OC4J container.
In Apex's http-server error log I noticed next error messages:
[Fri Apr 13 16:07:11 2007] [warn] mod_plsql: Stale Connection due to Oracle error 22293
[Fri Apr 13 16:07:11 2007] [error] mod_plsql: /pls/apex/f ORA-22293
ORA-22293: LOB already opened in the same transaction
Is anybody know what to do in this situation?

Problem with pdf printing in Apex 3.2

Hi All,
I have apex 3.2 in Oracle 11.1, and the OS is OEL4. I ran the post installation script for granting connect privileges for APEX_030200 also.I have installed BI Publisher in another machine, and configured the URL in apex.
But the Pdf printing part is still failing.
when i open the pdf ,the Error is "Adobe Reader could not open 'Applications[1].pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged(for exmple, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
I tried to open the file using text edtor, the text inside is "ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified"
My apex machine is 64 bit and BI Publisher machine is 32 bit.
I ran the following query to verify that the grants were given:
SELECT * FROM DBA_NETWORK_ACL_PRIVILEGES;
The result of this query is the following:
ACL     ACLID     PRINCIPAL     PRIVILEGE     IS_GRANT     INVERT     START_DATE     END_DATE

Verify that the BI server is accessible from the 11g database by executing the SQL below in the 11g database

Problems with PDF printing, using Apache FOP!

When I click on "print" link I reseive an empty file!
I done each step that was described in manual.
I don't know what to do.
Best Regards, Kostya Proskudin!

Ok, let me describe all my actions:
1. I download from http://archive.apache.org/dist/xmlgraphics/fop/source/ file fop-0.20.5-src.zip.
2. I extract it.
3. go to $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee and copied folder fop-0.20.5.
($ORACLE_HOME - means DB home, is it right?)
4. Then I add to the end of file $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/home/config/application.xml

<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/build/fop.jar"/>
<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/lib/batik.jar"/>
<library path="../../../j2ee/fop-0.20.5/lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar" />

5. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/oc4j/j2ee/home/default-web-app and copied there apex_for_render.jsp.
6. Open my apex_dmin .... and fill host (my DB host 10.10.10.4), port (DB port 1521 the same as tns has, is it right?) at least script "/apex_fop_render.jsp" (with "/")
Thank you!

I am on Acrobat DC trial. On earlier versions have no problem with duplex printing. Now with DC, it's impossible. I have tried downloading latest printer software, etc, etc. Nothing seems to0 work. Any ideas please?

Ralph, Thanks for replying. There where no received SIP messages at all just the INVITE being sent but I have made some more progress. The mini does indeed just work. I can do everything that you are supposed to do to other ichat users on the internet. Very nice.
The imac is still playing up but I have got further. I had peerguardian2 installed which unknown to me doesn't need to be running to prevent you for accessing 'barred' IP addresses. snatmap.mac.com is barred in the lists! I discovered this when I saw one of your other posts showed how to turn on terminal logging for ichat. Now that I have turned off peerguardian2 (using the disable filters option) I can make calls to the testbot and see the adverts. I have even done a video conference with the two testbots. I will just uninstall peerguardian2.
However, I can not get a AV chat working to a real user....
In response to your suggestions:-
I have tried all the options for quicktime streaming but will try 1.5Mb/s again.
The ichat bandwidth limit is set to "none". I am in New Zealand and I have standard ADSL (not ADSL2+) 7.6M down 512K up. The mini config is also set to none.
Internet sharing is off.
I have had parallels on the machine but the two interfaces that it installed "Parallels Host-Guest" and "Parallels NAT" are configured 'off' and show as not connected. Is this enough? I will uninstall parallels and see if that helps since I don't use it. I also have VMware's thing installed but that doesn't seem to add any interfaces.
I need to capture a full trace of the imac to other ichat user to see what is happening but will update when I have does your suggested changes or have a trace
Thanks again

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!

Times Font Problems With PDFs

Hello,
I am having an intermittent problem with PDFs with Times fonts.
Sometimes the PDFs print OK and other times words will be jumbled together or strange characters will take the place of certain punctuation marks. There are several other things that seem to happen, but I cannot remember every issue. Every time there is a problem, the PDF "Looks good on the monitor!".
This happens on 10.3.9 and Os9 machines also.
I have done Permission Repairs on a regular basis, cleaned my Font Caches, used FontFinagler etc.
I have run Norton on the Os9 machines, taken all fonts out of ATM and put them back in, trashed Adobe prefs, etc.
Sometimes this happens on PDFs from PCs, other times it happens on PDFs from Macs.
All of the versions of Acrobat we are using are Professional versions with the latest updates, so that shouldn't be the issue.
If anyone has any input on this, it will make my life considerably easier.
TIA,
David

David,
It sounds like the problem PDF docs did not have the fonts embedded into the docs when they were created originally, and the Times font on your computer is different. A couple of possible options, (a) ask the original creator to re-make the PDF doc with embedding the fonts, or (b) try re-writing the doc by doing a Save As... in Acrobat.
Hope this helps.

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.
