Adboe Acrobat 8.1.7 printing landscape only

Just received an update and now all pdf files sent to any of our printers all come out landscape rather than the default portrait. All the page setups show portrait but print landscape.

TRy downloading a new driver for your printer from the p
rinter manufacture then:
open Printer Setup Utility and deleting printer from list.
Now open driver installer just download and if it has a an uninstaller run it.
Next use the sme install program (you downloaded) and install.
Now openPrinter Setup Utility again and look for your printer per instucts for add printer.
now make it default printer.
Now Try to print document.

I wirelessly connected a canon airprint to my iphone but can't get it to print landscape only portrait

first time using this site. Question per above is successfully connected a canon airprint with my network and iphone. Have successfully printed portrait style but can't figure how to print a landscape.
Thanks

Ringtones (along with audiobooks) are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you want it on your iPad then you will need to connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases (it shoudl copy over to the Tones part of your iTunes library), and you can then sync it to your iPad

Adobe Acrobat and InDesign documents print once only

Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Adobe Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, printed from IDCS2 still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex. The new Adobe work flow for page imposition yields a pdf file to be printed from Adobe Acrobat.
OS is 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
Work flow is Adobe InDesign CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper size in different drawer.
Specifically : Prints one copy means 25 sheets duplex is completed perfectly, starting the next set of 25 sheets (one document copy) is when the printer stops and asks for different paper from different drawer.
note : Evidence points to the printing control panel of CS 5.
Older imposed Adobe InDesign CS2 document opened by InDesign CS5 also will only print one document copy of 25 sheets±. Attempting to over-ride the Adobe InDesign CS5 panel for printing by selecting four copies there does not help. In other words, printing an old InDesign file from InDesign CS5 yields the same problem as printing a new InDesign CS5 imposed, saved as pdf and printed from Adobe Acrobat 9.3
Adobe forums report similar unsolved printing problems with InDesign CS4. I'm going to post this in Snow Lepord as well since my laptop has 10.6.
Suggestions ?

Hi kostby,
I'm sure you completely answered my question, I only checked helpful because my own thick skull is blocking a full appreciation of your brilliant insight.
Sadly, I'm away from my printer for another couple of weeks, even so, this shouldn't stop me from understanding what you are saying a little better.
I downloaded and went through the file from HP and it looks to me like the obvious default HP position is one copy. Am I clear in assuming from this, and your explanation, that the CS5 software engineer has overridden my command to print four ? I am making this assumption because the default is for long edge binding and I select short-edge legal-size duplex with legal size being my default size for the printer. Thus, the change in paper size and drawer location remains a mystery.
I often print four to five copies because that is a convenient stack for my aging cutter, any number greater than one is nice because I can avoid being in the room with the printer and breathing ink dust.
I am not sure how to send the print job to a file so I can open it with BBEdit and inspect the specific commands, this is very interesting to me. Though I'm at this point without the full skill set to master using this great knowledge. Also, over the years, I've found that I don't fully retain lessons once learned but rarely used, but that's a different and perhaps personal problem.
Thank you very much,
Garrett

Mac only prints landscape, won't change orientation

My Mac book pro will not print correctly to my two HP Printers, 8600 and 4630. Seems to want to print in landscape only, and if by chance I can get it to print in Portrait, it leaves about a 3 inch margin and cuts off bottom as if it is still confused and thinks its portrait. I have been with both Apple support and HP support and they are baffled. They even remotely saw for themselves what was happening. How frustrating! If I want something to print correctly I have to print from IPad or Iphone and that works perfectly! I really want a solution so that I can print from my computer.

Welcome to the forums winningchanges,
I saw your post about the printing issues you have been experiencing with both of your Officejet 8600 and 4630 models from your Mac computer.
First of all, test the actual printer hardware by making a copy from each unit. If the copies work successfully, the printers test out fine and the issue would be software related.
If the copies are successful we can move on to troubleshooting the Mac.
Please let me know which Mac OS X you're running and also how your printers are connected to your computer. (Ethernet, wireless or USB).

Please print from more than one program on your computer and let me know if the printing issue happens if you print from anyone, or is more related to one certain program.
Thank you

Landscape-only printing

I seem to have the opposite problem of the many Leopard-users who can't get their printers to print landscape. My new iMac will print ONLY landscape format out of Safari and Mail, unless I go into the preferences of each program and click the portrait button. This happens no matter which brand of printer we send the job to, so it has nothing to do with our Canon, Konica or HP drivers.
Is there any way to make "portrait" the default setting for all print jobs? It's not a huge hassle to reset the prefs every time I want to print something from Safari or Mail, but I'd rather not have to bother.

I have the same problem. Did you ever find a fix? It's really annoying to continuously having to change the layout of the page in every app!

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

How do I restrict my pdf form to print legal only

I have a form (in Acrobat 9 Pro) that should only be printed on legal. I am unable to locate information. Have tried setting the Adobe PDF Document Properties (Page Size) to legal. Is there a way to limit to printing legal only?? Would appreciate any help on this topic. Thanks much.

Yes, tried that. But unfortunately that option doesn't allow me to restrict users to only print their forms on legal paper. But thank you for your help.

How can I stop Acrobat from overriding a printer's draft settings and printing in photo quality?

Regardless of which settings I choose for my printer, Acrobat always prints in maximum quality.
The printer works as expected with every other application I have, from Photoshop, Word and Pages, to Preview and Mail. But when I print a PDF via Acrobat or Reader, the printer lays down so much ink that the paper sometimes comes out damp.
If it matters, the printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and I'm using Acrobat 8.2.6 and Reader 10.0.3 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.7.
To reiterate, every other app I use respects the Epson printer dialog settings when it comes to printing in economy mode. I've looked around in Acrobat's print settings and can find absolutely nothing along the lines of "print in draft quality." Am I the only person who doesn't want, or need, to burn up expensive printer cartridges unnecessarily?
This has been a problem since I bought the software, and it behaved the same way with my old printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 800). I don't need to print very many PDFs, but when I do, the printer wastes an enormous amount of ink.
I'm not looking for a workaround, I just want to be able to open a PDF in Acrobat or Reader, hit CMD-P, choose the economy print setting, and have it actually print in low resolution.
Being able to print a draft copy of a PDF seems to be a perfectly reasonable expectation when using software from the very company that developed the PDF standard in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.

Understood. I've already checked for driver updates, and am already using the most current version. I really appreciate your trying to help, ... let's hope someone out there has some suggestions, too.
Cheers,
Francis

Adobe Acrobat Reader's slow printing

I had this same problem with Tiger when I first got a printer server for my printer (HP Laserjet 1200) but I fixed it by selecting another driver. Basically what happens is that takes like 5 minutes to print the first page, and after the first page it stops and waits a few minutes to print the next page. This only happens for Adobe Acrobat Reader but it prints like normal on Preview and Office. I've tired selecting other drivers, another protocols (Appletalk, IP, Windows), removing and adding the printer again, updating and downgrading drivers, but nothing seems to work.
My little brother (on a iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo and Leopard) also has the same problem.
Does anyone else have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

Adobe indicates that Adobe Reader 8.1.1 requires an update to be fully compatible with OS X 10.5. They are estimating the update will be ready in January, 2008. See http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq They do not indicate what conflicts there are.

Acrobat 9 pro form printing

just getting started with filling in forms in my new acrobat 9 professional program. I've filled o
ut the form, saved it, but when I try to print I only get the BLANK form
(no edits). Tried printing as image; only shows uncompleted form. Despite removing the highlighted fields option, my edits remain highlighted on the saved form but when I click on print, it shows a blank form. Tried printing in black only; doesn't work. When I do print review, I only see the blank form. I'm stumped. I need to get this form completed and sent back to the originator

Adobe Acrobat 8 crashes when printing!

My client has been experiencing this problem before and a reimage of the computer was needed to keep it from coming back up. It recently came back. I know there has to be an easier way than a complete reroll of the system. She is the only one in the company that gets this error, and there are at least a hundred of Adobe Acrobat 8 users here.
When you open a pdf file (local or shared)and you print it using Acrobat 8.1, the printer (HP Laserjet 2015p with updated drivers) runs and prints the document, but unfortunately a "Windows debug/don't send/send error" bug pops up with the filename being acrobat.exe. When I click don't send, a memory error shows up right after and when I click OK, Acrobat closes. This happens consistently. When there are 3 or more pages and the error pops up, it only prints the first 2 before stopping. It seems to also occur if you click cancel instead of print from the print properties windows. Since that also occurs, it leads me to believe that it is the program and/or system that is causing the issue, since it could be any printer chosen before printing or cancelling the window.
I've uninstalled the printers and restarted, then uninstalled Acrobat and restarted. Deleted the necessary folders (adobe and flexnet in All Users and the adobe folder in program files). Then I reinstalled acrobat first, and reinstalled the printers after a prompted restart. The error still occurs.
The OS is Windows XP SP2. The client logs in under our company domain as a user, so it is not a local profile being used. I briefly tested the Administrator account with one of the user's pdfs. No error occured as of yet, so it kind of makes me believe that if I were to delete the profile under documents and settings, and make her log back in, the issue may be fixed and labeled as a user account error. Has anyone run into this problem and found a solution? Of course all help is greatly appreciated.

The messages I've seen had to do with "slow operation" not "crashing" but you mention a domain login... so this may help
Set the DEFAULT printer to a local, not network, printer... even if you have to define a "dummy" printer
There is evidently a bug in Acrobat when a network printer is the default... so may be worth a try to see if it fixes your problem

When I print in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9, it prints reversed..

Only recently when I try to print in Acrobat Pro 9, it prints backwards/reversed.. like a mirror. It shows correct on the page, but when it's printed it's reversed. I must have changed a setting by accident but can't find the issue. Possibly in Adobe Illustrator when I tried to change the direction of an image. It only prints like this in Acrobat.. no other application.

Hi hollym23446293,
What are you printing to? Have you checked for a "Flip Horizontally" option (or similar) option in the Print dialog box? Its location will vary by printer, but it's often in the Layout settings.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Viewing print thumbnail only works after a TAB in adobe reader X

Hello,
Viewing print thumbnail only works after a TAB in adobe reader x.
In adobe reader 9 when you go to a specified page (the red circle in the screenshot), the example on the right site directly go´s to that page,
In adobe reader x when you go to a specified page nothing happend in the example, when you then use the TAB then de example wil go to the specified page.
Is this a incident in Adobe Reader X ?

PDF files have to be specially enabled for you to save the contents. It appears the old version of these files had this capability, but the new version does not. Without Acrobat you will be unable to save the files. If these are truly government files, you can try going to the government's website and see if you can download a copy that will allow you to save the form field data.

Printing landscape pdf to Linux CUPS shared printer

I'm having a problem printing landscape pdf documents from Preview to printers on my Linux CUPS server. Documents print portrait style, with the right side of the document cut off. This occurs in both 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
Using Adobe Reader or printing the pdf from the command line using lpr work correctly to the shared printer.
Printing directly to the printer (not through the server) is the only way Preview prints it right.
My CUPS server is:
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
CUPS 1.3.7

I'm having the same problem. I have a Lexmark x9350 that is shared through Airport Extreme.

Acrobat 9pro won't print to PDF

I am using Acrobat 9pro on my Windows XP x64 computer. When I use Acrobat and try to print to PDF I get the error messages "The document could not be printed." and "There were no pages selected to print." I can, however, print to PDF from other applications such as Word. This problem started suddenly a few months ago after having used the application fine for a year or two. The technical support person told me they wouldn't help me unless I paid $35 to upgrade to Acrobat 10! I'm at a loss.

I'm having this problem too. Acrobat 9.5.3 running on Win 7 x64. After updating Reader form X to XI, Acrobat stopped printing .
I've tried everything: repairing installation, complete installation, removing all the package, removing reader and acrobat, update printers driver, reinstall printers... nothing worked.
Now the only way I have to print is using Reader, that works properly.
This are the dialog boxes coming up: "Document can't be printed" "There were no selected pages to print". I can't have access to the printer setup window too, I guess this is connected to the same issue.
Thank you for your help
