Adobe forms prints part of one page 6 times on a sheet of paper

I am attempting to print a completed web based Adobe form and the 8.5x11 page prints part of the page about 6 times on one sheet of paper. This has happened before on Adobe documents and I was able to get around it by saving the PDF file (downloaded from a home utility website) then opening it in Adobe Reader XI and printing it. This time I do not have the ability to save it since I filled out an Adobe form (the system will not let me save the completed form as a PDF file.) My system: iMac 27-inch Late 2009; OS: OS X 10.9.4; Adobe Reader: XI, version 11.0.07; Printer: Canon Pixma MP490 (verified I have the latest drivers)
Print preview shows the document the way I would expect it to print.
The last time I called we never resolved the issue: Apple points to the printer or Adobe, Adobe points to the computer or the printer, and Canon points to the computer or Adobe.

When I first open the form on the web it appears to be an Adobe file, but still on the web via Safari.
Even before I try to save the file there is a message at the top of the screen that reads, "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records." BUT, when I just saved a blank copy of the form to my desktop, opened it in Adobe Reader XI, filled in the form and then printed it the form printed nicely. Problem resolved, or at least a work-around handles the problem easily
It is frustrating that I cannot print directly from the Adobe file via Safari; i.e., I have to experiment to find a solution instead of just hitting the print button (yes, I'm lazy!).
Thank you!!

Formatting Long Text gets disturbed during Adobe form Printing

Hi Guru's,
I have developed Adobe Form for PM work Orders (IW32) printing using Code u2018SFPu2019. The Order Contains order Long Text or Operation Long Text.
In my case the user maintains some table like structure in the Long text .e.g. ( Here the tab means the actual space and the text length can vary. So basically he will draw a table cells one below another by adjusting tab's)
Text 2 Tab Tab |___|___|
Te TabTab Tab |___|___|
I am reading this using READ_TEXT and it gets perfectly read.( I mean the tab positions will be intact. Also it will remain intact by the time ADS will get called)
When i submit this for generating Adobe Form the formatting of the tab positions gets disturbed and it prints something like
Text 2 |___|___|
Te |___|___|
How to keep the Tab positions intact while printing the Adobe Form? For SAP script printing it comes perfectly but for Adobe form printing it gets disturbed. Any idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
Pradeep

Tough request!
You have to calculate the widths of texts so that to determine to which tab position refers each tab character.
You might print the sapscript to OTF format, and read the OTF to get the exact positions (based on top left border of the page).
But now comes the second big issue: how to position a text in Adobe form at a dynamic position. That, I don't know. You might ask a question about this 2nd issue in forum

Adobe Form print/email - Attach IXOS .tif images via string table param?

I am attempting to create an Adobe Form print/e-mail output for Invoices, with zero, one or many attached pages from the IXOS archive. (TIFF files.) So far I have managed to attach exactly one IXOS image. Now I need to make the number of attached images dynamic.
This is in Netweaver 7.0 / ECC 6.0 ehp 3 / LiveCycle Designer 8.1.
My ABAP driver program is a copy of SD_INVOICE_PRINT01. In pseudocode, I've added:
Logic to identify correct IXOS image.
Logic to extract IXOS image to application server's file system.
OPEN DATASET image.tif FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
READ DATASET image.tif INTO xstring.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSFC_BASE64_ENCODE' EXPORTING xstring IMPORTING string.
APPEND string TO string_table.
CALL FUNCTION form_name EXPORTING attachments = string_table.
The form interface is a copy of INVOICE_INTERFACE (ABAP dictionary-based.) I've added import param. ATTACHMENTS type STRING_TABLE.
In the form's context tab, interface import param. ATTACHMENTS was dragged & dropped onto the context pane, yielding:
- Table ATTACHMENTS
-- Structure DATA
--- Field ITEM.
In Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1, I *can* create an image field with binding ATTACHMENTS.DATA[1].ITEM - that prints the TIFF from IXOS just fine.
What *does not* work is placing ATTACHMENTS on the form as a table of image fields. I've tried several combinations - most look like this:
- Table or Subform ATTACHMENTS, binding ATTACHMENTS, repeat for each data item max = 1.
-- Row or Subform DATA, binding DATA[*], repeat for each data item min = 1.
--- Image field ITEM, binding ITEM.
The result is consistently one blank page. No more, no less.
Can anyone help?

Hello,
I have no experience regarding the table of pictures, but you could try a workaround if you don´t insist of displaying the images. You could attach the pictures as attachments (you know, the little attachments icon on the left in your Reader). The ABAP coding for this can be found in SE38 FP_* and when you check the descriptions you should be able to find the one working with the attachments.
Would be better than nothing I guess,

Seperate Adobe Form printing for each order

Hi,
I have a scenario where i need to print Adobe Form for each order.
Right now i am handling this from print program(Executable) by looping at the Adobe form FM for each order.
So it will print seperate Adobe form for each order with corresponding Header & Item Data.
To get next order i need to hit on right & last arrows etc...
So right now i am handling it through Print Program.
Is there any way it can be handled directly at Adobe Form level.
By passing all orders to Adobe FM at a time (Intsead of looping) and handling Adobe Form printing for each order at Adobe Form level itself!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Kumar.

simple,
create one new program not driver program . Then u have to call that FORM
1.Get all the data created during the dates.
split the data into , based on the date ranges.
2.
loop at itab1.
perform open_form
write_form
close_form
endloop.
loop at itab2.
endloop.
1) I need to print the form automatically when an Order is created.---->COnfig
2) Every June 15th and Dec 15th I need to print the form for that Order
automatically with some other data.
---> what ? what u split ?
*--Similarly I need to trigger the form in this way automatically for all Orders.
---> Config+ABAP
How can I trigger the Form automaticall for the above requirement

Problem with printing more than one page (ghostscript broken?)

Hello,
since one of the last package updates I have problems with printing more than one page. The print problems occurs as well with pdf files as well with printing websites. I use an actual KDE system with commercial turboprint printer driver. The first page always prints fine, but all consecutive pages are corrupted. As from a similar problem some months ago, I assume a broken ghostscript package. I tried to downgrade ghostscript to check that, but I get depency problems:

Anyone else having printing problems or a solution for my problem?
Thanks, Dieter

This may not be related but I had a problem printing a pdf today whereby the second page got corrupted. The same pdf had printed fine several months ago. I realised that (long story) for some reason I had switched drivers (HP printer) from hpijs to hpcups. I installed the printer again as a "new" printer using the hpijs driver and it printed properly this time.
So it may be that the bug causes issues with some drivers. You could try an alternative driver for the printer as temporary workaround?

Amazon print guidelines specify one page per sheet

Amazon print guidelines specify one page per sheet
I am setting up a new book and not sure I understand Amazon guidlines "one page per sheet".
I am pretty sure this setup is one page per sheet when Exported to PDF -- can any one please confirm this?

Thanks, you mean be sure "Spreads" is unchecked as in this screenshot (I don't know what I am doing here)...?

Is there any way in Adobe Reader to limit printing to only one page at a time?

We have a large piece of internal knowhow in the form of a pdf document that we don't want users to be able to print in one go as it would risk the document leaving the premises. We are quite happy with users using print screen for single pages, but that doesn't really produce readable results.
So ideally we'd like users to be able to select print, but when they do it should only allow 'print current page' or just print the first chosen page instead of the whole selection. For instance, selecting pages 123 - 145 should only print page 123.
I've looked in to various areas already. We are delivering this document through a secured version of Adobe Reader via Citric application streaming, so are able to customise the config.js file any way we want, however I've looked through the Java Reference Guide and haven't been able to identify anything that might satisfy our requirement this.
I've also looked in to Document Actions such as "Document will print", but again (perhaps due to a personal lack of programming knowledge) am unable to find a way to fix the print option to a single page.
Any ideas/suggestions much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kaan

The sponsor is not happy for low res printing either. As an organisation we should be looking at DRM more closely, and we've added to the requirement with this problem. We are also going to look in to the option of attaching metadata and scanning that at our exit points (e-mail, printers, usb's, etc.) so that users have free reign internally but can't send sensitive documents out. Obviously it's all going to be very expensive!
Cheers for the respones guys.

Adobe Form - Print page at the end for every record of a Z table with Text

Hello friends, I am facing a challenging here and I need to develop the following below. Mind you, I don't have much exposure/experience with Adobe Forms
Scenario: Standard REAL ESTATE Contract Form
I have a Z table containing RENTAL OBJECTS, in my case 3 records and I want, at the end of the form print one page like below to each record that i have in my Z table.
"Dear Z-field1 one, regarding your contract for Z-field2, Address Z-field3, blah blah blah"
In essence, print a page for each one of them at the end, with the text above using the fields from the z table.
I searched the forum and couldn't find any thing like it.
If someone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Marco

Hi Marco,
You must be having the ztable fields in the context or in the data heirarchy of the adobe form.
Assume that your main form is on the page1.
Create a table bound to ztable with 3 rows in it and make it invisible on the form.
Below the form create 3 pages page2, page3 and page4.
Create a ISR text display and on the initialise event write the code such as:
this.rawValue = data.page1.Table2.Row1.Cell1.rawValue;
Create as many ISR texts as you want and initialize it using the above method.
Page1
form
Page2
Row1 values
Page3
Row2 Values
Page4
Row3 Values
Hope this helps.

Acrobat 7.1.0 multipage print job goes one page at a time

This condition existed before I installed the lastest update but it has not gone away so it must be a setting. When I send a multipage document to my printer (laserjet 4000) from Acrobat Professional the printer will start up (wakeup), print one page, stop the printing process (explained below) and then restart/wakeup and print the next page. It could take 3 or 4 minutes to print a 10 page doc.
By stopping the printing process I mean the display will return to "Ready" the the printer will make that whining down sound like it is completed a print job and stop for 10 seconds or so. It then starts all over.
When I print from any other program the printer starts up and stays running until the print job is complete even if it is 50 pages or so.
Any thoughts?????
Thank you in advance!!

Many different factors could be causing this, but there's no way to tell from this end what it could be.
The first thing I always recommend is to check for driver updates online. Even if a newer version doesn't exist, you should download and reinstall the printer driver. Never hurts to do that, and sometimes it solves the problem... especially in cases like yours, where the printer model is old but the software you're working with has continued to be updated. HP seems to have the most trouble across different applications; these printers never seem to be fully compatible with all new software versions, no matter what software it is. Seems like there's always something that doesn't work quite right.
Assuming you've done that and it didn't help, next look at what you're printing.
Is the PDF heavy in graphics? How large are the graphics---what resolution are they and if in color, what color format (I use the demo version of Quite a Box of Tricks plug-in for this: http://www.quite.com/box/)? At what resolution are you printing? Do the images contain transparencies?
Have you (or whoever creates the PDFs) changed any color management options? What happens if you use the Quite plug-in to convert colors to greyscale? (The demo version will place an X over the page but you'll at least be able to tell whether it makes a difference.)
What is the PDF file size? Have you tried optimizing the PDF before printing?
All printers and printer drivers are different, giving different options in the Print dialog, so I can't give you anything very specific to look at there... but look for your print quality option. Is it set to "high" (or "best" or whatever your printer calls it)? If so, change it to normal quality and see if that speeds things up.
Those are just some things off the top of my head that you might want to look at. Please report back with your results.

Adobe Form Print Problem - Header is cut off without print preview

We are currently experiencing a problem when trying to print Adobe forms. We have created several forms and are experiencing the same issue with all forms. The issue occurs when we are trying to print a form. If we choose a print preview prior to printing, the form looks normal and prints fine. However, if we do a direct print (i.e. no print preview), then the top part of the form is cut off. It's almost like all of that data on the form gets shifted upward, cutting off about 1/2" to an 1" from the top of the form. We have tried printing to different printers and are ending up with the same results each time. We do not experience this issue with SAPScript.
I have searched several threads and haven't been able to find an issue quite like the one we are experiencing.
Has anyone ever exeperienced a problem like this before?
Currently using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.1.2 and are on Netweaver 7.00 EhP1.
Thank you for any help.

I am going to go ahead and close this thread as I believe we have found a solution. Sai is correct that there is an issue with the design.
If anyone else runs into this problem, take a look at note 968394 that talks about differences between print preview and printing from spool. When you are in the print preview dialog box, under "Page Scaling," the default is "Shrink to printable area." So if your form went outside the margins, it would shrink to fit giving you the impression that the problem is not with the print preview rather than the form itself.
After moving the header stuff down a bit everything is printing normal both through the spool and via print preview.
Thank you!

Spool Adobe Form: Print partial document

Hello,
I want print only a part of a ADS spool. In non-ads spool you can print from one page to another page, but with adobe forms, this selection field doesn't apper. Our spool has many pages (~1000) and many documents (~500) in only one spool
How can we print only a part of an ADS spool? (For example if you have a problem and only print form the document in the middle of de ADS to the last document).
Regards,
Jaime

With the partslist active, you can select whichever pages you want to print in SP01.
To display the part list first, you need to execute report RSPO0021 in transaction SE38 with the following settings:
Name of the spool option: SHOW_PART_LIST
Select the Activate Entry option.
