Acrobat binding edge - duplex or otherwise?
I'm not a regular user of Acrobat Pro, though v.6 (on my machine) and v.9 (on a colleague's) are available to me. So when I was trying to print a longish (100+ pages) document double-sided, with a binding edge, I assumed that my inability to find the binding edge setting was just a matter of my ignorance. Hours later, though, after searching the Help, then web search, then searching this forum, I'm not so sure that the ignorance is mine. Could someone tell me how to se a binding edge - of any kind - in Acrobat? - and then, how to set up double-sided printing with a mirrored binding edge? [There is a selection in the "Adobe PDF Settings" pane of Acrobat Distiller and the Adobe PDF Printer driver - both of which are inapplicable to the Acrobat problem - but even that is just a "Left edge" or "Right edge" selection, not a binding edge setting, and lacks a duplex/mirrored option.] I can't believe this common function is missing from something as mature as Acrobat. Is it?
Thanks for your reply. Fortunately I decided to come back to the web forum to check, and found that the answer I sent hours ago - in reply to email - did not register for some reason. I don't know why that is, but I'm sorry for the delay, and have learned not to believe the email footer that says, "To post a reply to the thread message, either reply to this email or visit the message page: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2352913#2352913." Apparently "reply to this email" is not to be believed - it only registers that something was sent, not what was sent. Anyway, here is the content of that reply:

Actually, I did use the Crop tool as the first step of this process, which is to make a 2-sided hardcopy of what was scanned from a 1-sided hardcopy. [It was a poor scan of a poorly printed document - complicating factors - but the file came from an office over which I have no control, so I deal with the complications as needed.]
The first crop was .75" from the left edge, to eliminate black hole-punch circles. That leaves a document of 146 pages, each cropped .75" on the left to 7.75" x 11", with the text then roughly centered. Now I would like to return the pages to 8.5" x 11", but with the binding edge restored to the left side for odd pages and to the right side for even pages. Does the Crop tool help further with that objective?
Thanks again,
John

Acrobat "forgets" about duplex mode
I am using Acrobat X Pro on an Intel MacBookPro with OS 10.6.8. I have a networked HP ColorLaserJet 5550dn printer with duplex unit which works just fine in any other application. If I have a multi-page .pdf document I want to print from Acrobat (or, for that matter, Reader!), I get the Acrobat dialog box instead of the standard Mac one. Of course, it doesn't have a "duplex" option, so I click on the "Printer..." button in their dialog box. I can then set up duplex printing and it works just fine. Here is the problem: The next time I start Acrobat and print the VERY SAME DOCUMENT, it comes out single-sided, wasting paper. This is true even if I do NOTHING in between (no other print jobs etc.). In other words, by layering their proprietory print dialog box over the Mac one, apparently Acrobat is incapable of "remembering" from one print incident to the next to submit the Duplex command. Strangely, if I simply go through the chain "Print" -> press the "Printer..." button in the dialog box, I see that duplex is still selected, and if I then simply click "Print" in both the Mac and the Acrobat dialog boxes, everthing works as expected - twosided output. So going through the Mac printer dialog box apparently "jogs the memory". Ironically, by default you get a WARNING when clicking on the "Printer..." button in the Acrobat dialog box!
So, for now I'll have to remember to jump through the extra hoops every time or I'll waste more trees. BTW, a nearly 1-hour long "chat" with Adobe Support didn't resolve the problem, but messed up some more things instead.O.k., this works indeed for this ONE document (if I save it after changing its properties). However, I rarely print the same file twice - my problem is printing out files sent to me by others (who may not know about this property) and having to remember each time to jump through some extra hoops (either clicking the "Printer..." button or your suggestion). So the only true solution would be if I could somehow teach Acrobat to print ALL files as duplex by default (or, like all other Mac applications that use the Mac Printing interface, use whatever printer settings were used last unless specifically changed).

Adobe Reader und Adobe Acrobat drucken bei Duplex nicht doppelseitig
Hallo Leute,
vor einem halben Jahr hatte ich das Problem, daß Adobe Reader (7.1.4) nicht doppelseitig druckte, obwohl ich einen Duplex-Drucker benutze. Alle anderen Programme – einschl. Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4) – druckten doppelseitig.
So verglich ich die AVGeneral-Einträge vom Adobe Reader (7.1.4) und Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4) und stellte dabei fest, daß der Eintrag »bprintAutoRotate« auf 0 stand, obwohl er auf 1 hätte stehen müssen. Auch den Eintrag »bprintSetPageSize« mußte ich von 1 auf 0 ändern. Danach konnte ich wieder mit dem Adobe Reader (7.1.4) drucken.
Nun habe ich das Problem wieder – diesmal aber mit dem Adobe Reader (7.1.4) und dem Adobe Acrobat Professionell (7.1.4). Die oben genannten Einstellungen waren nun bei beiden falsch, ich änderte diese, machte einen Neustart, überprüfte die Einträge (die noch richtig waren), druckte aus – und wieder nichts. Die Seiten werden einseitig bedruckt. Schaue ich dann in die Registry, sind die Werte wieder falsch. Korrigiere ich die Werte (und mache natürlich einen Neustart), sind die Werte jedesmal nach einem Druckvorgang wieder falsch bzw. beim Drucken wurde nur einseitig gedruckt.
Mit NitroPDF lassen sich meine PDFs nach wie vor doppelseitig ausdrucken, doch wie kommt dieses aktuelle Phänomen zustande? (Betriebssystem: WinXP-SP3)Darf ich vorschlagen, dass Sie entweder einen Übersetzer wie Google verwenden, oder posten Sie Ihre Fragen im Forum in Deutsch: http://forums.adobe.com/community/international_forums/deutsche
May I suggest that you either use a translator such as Google's, or post your questions in the Forum in German? -
Acrobat 9 Pro, making edge of book scanning pages darker
Thank you for reading my post,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro with Windows Vista to scan a hardcover book. Since it is hardcover, it is hard to press enough to get a good scan on the end of the pages, so I get light letters that I would like to get darker. So far I have not found a way to do this inside of Acrobat, so at the moment I am extracting the troubled pages out of the document, use photoshop's burn tool over the light end areas, saving the page and adding it to the main document. Even though this works, it is extremely labor intensive. There have to be a better and easier way! Any ideas?
Book was scanned (not OCR) at 300 resolution with scanner CanoScan LiDE700F
I still have several pages to correct so your help would be greatly appreciated,
JordanSomething to play with:
Acrobat provides "Edge shadow removal"
(the dark edge produced when what is scanned is not flush between platen and cover of scanner.
Try a setting of "Aggressive".
In Acrobat 8 - File > Create PDF > From Scanner
In the Acrobat Scan dialog, Document pane - click the Options button for 'Optimization'.
This brings up the dialog that contains settings for Filtering.
Alternatively, click Document > Optimize Scanned PDF
The associated dialog provides for user configuration of Filtering settings.
Similar approach for Acrobat 9.
However, for File > Create PDF > From Scanner click on "Configure Presets".
The Document > Optimize Scanned PDF for Acrobat 9 is similar to Acrobat 8.

Duplex printing option no longer avaialble in Preview and TextEdit.
I am no longer offered the option to select two-sided printing for .pdfs in Preview or for text documents in TextEdit when using my HP Officejet K550. The printing options no longer allow me to select Paper Type or Print Quality for these documents either. If I open a the same .pdf in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro, the duplex, paper, and quality options are available. I have the latest driver and firmware updates from HP, and my Apple software is up to date. HP Support suggests it is an issue with the applications from which I'm printing (e.g. Preview).
Does anybody know why this has happened or how to restore these options when printing from Preview or TextEdit?
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.9)Since you are using an Intel Mac, the two applications you mention have been written in Universal Binary. For your HP printer driver, if it relies on print dialog extensions (pde's) to make these options available, and these same files have been written for the older Power PC processor, then this can make the options unavailable when printing from Universal applications. And that could explain why they are available when printing from Acrobat, as this is probably still the PPC version.
The solution would be to find a Universal version of the HP driver (I know you mentioned you have the latest but if its not Universal then it will have this issue).
To prove it is a Universal vs PPC issue, you can change Preview so that it opens using the Rosetta emulator. Control-click on the Preview icon and select Get Info. Select the check box "Open using Rosetta" and then close the window. Then open Preview and try to print two-sided. -
HP LaserJet 4200 Duplexing Issue
I have a LJ 4200 with the duplexer. I can to long-edge duplexing without a problem, however, when I try to do short-edge duplexing the image on the page gets cut off 2/3 the way across the page.
All of my software is up to date, and I have the latest printer drivers installed.
Any ideas?Is the computer it was installed on connected to the wireless network?
The computer being connected by Ethernet to the network is the most likely cause of the issue you are experiencing.
What brand and model is the router?

How to use JDBC Positional Binding Style & ExecuteWithParams?
Can anyone provide any help here including any documentation on how to configure this (I've checked online help and the developer guide.)
When defining multiple Bind Position variables on a View Object (using sql statement binding style: JDBC Positional), should I defined multiple bind variable names? Otherwise, if I don't, when I use ExecuteWithParams operation to create the data control, only one input variable field is displayed. I can get a single bind position variable to work, but am struggling on how to configure / get multiple bind position variables to work with ExecuteWithParams.
Here's my current configuration:
1. Define View Object with two JDBC Positional Binding Parameters
-- Bind Variables: name=parm1 (???should I define a second bind variable name???)
-- Bind Positions = 0,1
-- SQL Statement add another position var in where clause: "match (zip) against (CONCAT(?,'*') IN BOOLEAN MODE) and "match (name) against (CONCAT(?,'*') IN BOOLEAN MODE)
2. On a JSF page, drag ExecuteWithParams operation from data control onto the JSF page. If I have defined only one bind variable name, only one input field is displayed (and one field label that I defined for that bind variable), but I need two input fields - one for each bind position variable. How do I set this up?
Back-end Database is MySQL 5.0.1 which is why I am using binding stye JDBC positional.
Thanks, Tom

javaXI did some more testing and the problem is that the queries work with one bind position variable but not with two. I created two simple view objects off of the same entity object to test:
#1 - ViewObject with one bind position variable - where clause: where id > ?
#2 - ViewObject with two bind position variables - where clause: where id > ? and id < ?
I created two separate .jspx pages, view1.jspx (one input field) and view2.jspx (two input fields), for each view object by dragging ExecuteWithParams operation onto the JSF page.
The .jspx page with one input field works (returns result sets.) The view2.jspx page with two input fields does not work - the query does not return any result sets (no errors produced, it just does not return any rows) - I've tested my query outside of jdeveloper and it works fine. I also tried switching my inputs to make sure I did not have an illogical query (i.e., id >100 and id< 1).
Is there anything different / extra I need to do to use two bind position variables?
I'm STUCK HERE.
Everything in this simple test was identical except for using 2 input variables versus 1.
Technology stack is: jdeveloper 10.1.3, jsf/ADF BC, mySQL 5.01
Since I now understand what the problem is better, I'm going to re-post this as a new topic that more appropriately describes the problem, "Queries not working with multiple bind position variables?"

Query Bind Parameters and LOV's [JHS 10.1.3.1]
Using the JHeadstart Developer's Guide instructions (starting section 3-69) I have started to learn and then implement Query Bind Parameters in JHeadstart - but I am being met with nothing but troubles.
Is there anything 'special' that I have to do in order to get a query bind parameter to work with a LOV? I have followed the instructions in the Developer's Guide but just replaced the bind parameters that would otherwise be in a Dynamic Domain into a LOV group in the JHeadstart Application Definition file..
To be precise about all of this, I have been trying to get this to work with the HR database schema. So, like in the mini-tutorial I have a query bind parameter on a Employee table View Object set as a LOV to the ManagerId field on the Departments View Object (set in Form View).
What is actually happening when I open up my LOV, is that no rows are ever displayed in the LOV pop-up window.
What am I doing wrong?Michael,
Take a look at this thread:
Re: Group Used as LOV does not return records
You have to use a managed bean to "communicate" the value of the Employees base page to the LOV page definition.

Acrobat 10.1.7 crash on quit on 10.7.5
Hello,
I've experience frequent Acrobat crash on quit when running under Lion 10.7.5. I have refresh the Acrobat prefences as suggested in previous discussions. Still no dice.
Crash report: http://pastebin.com/GPAcAnxC
Anyone can help?
Thanks
TI was experiencing very similar behavior in Safari and Firefox.
What I did and it seems to have worked was this:
1. Updated to Safari 5.1.5 ( http://www.apple.com/safari/download/ ). If you were like me you never updated to the Safari 5.1.x versions because you would lose the ability to work with Acrobat and Reader within Safari otherwise.
a. If you read the 10.1.3 Release Notes Safari 5.1.x is now supported.
http://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/attachments/Acrobat_Reader_ReleaseNote_10.1.3.pdf
10.1.3
Added support for:
• Firefox 10.0.x
• Apple Safari 5.1 (64 bit) for OSX 10.6.8, Apple Safari 5.1(32-bit and 64-bit) for OSX 10.7.x
Dropped support for:
• All versions of Firefox prior to 10.0.
2. Reboot required by the Safari 5.1.5 installation
3. Opened both Safari and Firefox and both are stable now.
Odd behavior I would agree.
*Note: You may lose some plugin functionality because when I looked in the /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ folder the only one that was there was a WebEx plug-in. Everything else got moved out of that folder. -
I have a new G5 running OSX V10.4.6. My printer is an HP laserjet 5500dtn with duplex capability, which no longer works with my new machine. Duplex option does not appear in print window. Have done printer setup multiple times using both manual and automatic option selection. In all cases, "duplex" is checked in printer setup window, but does not appear as an option when printing in the "copies &pages" pop-up. Have now also installed most recent HP drivers (only a few months old), but still no luck. Also, "rosetta" option (another recommended fix) does not seem to be available in "get info" windows. Please help.
Thanks,
StewartI looked at the PPD for the LJ 1320 and did find this section:
*%=================================================
*% Duplex
*%=================================================
*OpenUI *Duplex/Duplex: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: None
*Duplex None/Off (1-Sided): "
<</Duplex false>> setpagedevice"
*End
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Flip on Long Edge (Standard): "
<</Duplex true /Tumble false>> setpagedevice"
*End
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Flip on Short Edge: "
<</Duplex true /Tumble true>> setpagedevice"
*End
*?Duplex: "
save
currentpagedevice /Duplex known
false ne
{ currentpagedevice /Duplex get
{ currentpagedevice /Tumble get
{(DuplexTumble)}{(DuplexNoTumble)}ifelse
} { (None)} ifelse
}{(None)} ifelse = flush
restore
*End
*CloseUI: *Duplex
which indicates that there is something there for duplex printing. This seems to be the corresponding section for my printer, where duplexing works just fine:
*OpenUI *Duplex/Duplex: PickOne
*OrderDependency: 50 AnySetup *Duplex
*DefaultDuplex: None
*Duplex None/Off: "<</Duplex false>>setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexNoTumble/Long Edge: "<</Duplex true /Tumble false>>setpagedevice"
*Duplex DuplexTumble/Short Edge: "<</Duplex true /Tumble true>>setpagedevice"
*?Duplex: "
save
currentpagedevice /Duplex get
{currentpagedevice /Tumble get
{(DuplexTumble)}{(DuplexNoTumble)}ifelse
}{(None)}ifelse = flush
restore
*End
*CloseUI: *Duplex
It seems to be pretty similar. Now with my printer, the setup utility can detect that the duplex device is present, but that may not be the case for yours, in which case you need to set it as an installable option, either through the Printer Setup Utility, or through the CUPS system, http://127.0.0.1:631/printers where you click on Configure Printer, type in a short administrator name (an oxymoron in my case!) and password, and then you will be able to tell the system that duplex is installed.
Of course, that still would not mean that HP has not gotten the PPD wrong, which has happened in the past. I remember I had a problem with my 6MP, which I reported and actually got a call back from someone who had one on his desk and could repeat the problem. -
I'm trying to set my preferences so that all documents print double-sided automatically without my having to remember to click the "Print on both sides of paper" button. I print literally thousands of PDF files! Duplexed. How do I set this as a preference? PS: I work on a MAC OS X and I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12.
I'm not trying to set the printer preferences, I'm trying to set the
Adobe Acrobat Printer defaults. If I don't click on "Print on both
sides of paper" in the Acrobat Print box, then that overrides my printer
default and prints the document single sided. In the "good old days" I
just chose "Duplex" under "Advanced" and then Acrobat would
automatically duplex all my print jobs until I chose otherwise. Now,
duplex is not an option under Advanced.... I was hoping it had just
been moved elsewhere. -

Invalid identifier results from an sql statement in php
hello there, i'm trying to access data from an oracle 11g database via oci and php 5.3.8.
i'm getting the ORA-00904 (invalid identifier) error when executing the following statement:
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from table1 where column1 = "XYZ"');
when i do this:
$searchstring = "XYZ";
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from table1 where column1 = '.$searchstring.'');
i'm getting this error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
column1 is varchar2, the entries are either letters and numbers (never only numbers) or empty.
when i do this:
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from table1');
i'm getting the data and there are entries in column1 with XYZ.
has anyone an idea, what i do wrong?
regards jThe PHP forum for questions like this is at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/forums/php/index.html
You really need to be using a bind variable here. Otherwise you will likely suffer from poor DB performance, and also open yourself to SQL Injection security attacks. Try:
$stid = oci_parse($conn, 'select * from table1 where column1 = :bv');
oci_bind_by_name($stid, ":bv", $searchstring);Regarding quoting of your example try:
$searchstring = "XYZ";
echo 'select * from table1 where column1 = '.$searchstring.'';Then run that SQL in SQL*Plus and watch it fail. What you need is given with:
echo 'select * from table1 where column1 = \''.$searchstring.'\'';See the bottom of p 126 of The Underground PHP and Oracle Manual
Note that with the bind variable example you didn't need quotes around :bv.

For some reason just this morning chromium started acting funny. The problem is with the cursor. It is like it gets stuck in one mode. So if I hover over a link then the cursor changes to a hand but then while I am on the next page it stays as a hand
