Adobe PDF won't print non-working time colour in MS Project

Adobe PDF won't print the colour chosen for non-working times in MS Project. I have tried changing the colour, changing the style, moving non-working time in front of tasks and have fiddled with the printer properties, all to no avail. It ignores whatever style I have for non-working time and makes a blank space, although it will take gridline changes . . . . please help!

Thank you for providing the suggestion and the Cleanup tools, however they did not help.
I ran each version of the cleanup tool, and for each I had it clean up Reader and Acrobat (i.e. 4 separate cleanup operations). I then rebooted the machine, and installed Reader 11.0.3.
Still had the same behavior: Reader will not print. I tried printing to a second printer (that is attached via USB)...and it did not work either. I also tried printing to a Cute PDF Writer print driver...and that did not work either. In each case, no print data made it to the Windows print queue (as demonstrated by watching the queue while printing.) No error was raised, but no print data was transmitted.
I then uninstalled Reader 11.0.3, rebooted, and re-installed Reader 9: printing works fine now.
There is definitely something in Reader 10 and Reader 11 that breaks printing in some environments. (As you alluded to...I have seen a number of postings online about printing problems in Reader.)
More details about my environment:
Windows 7 Professional N (Version 6.1, Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
VMWare virtual machine
Two virtual CPUs (each: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz, 2673 Mhz, 1 core, 1 Logicial Processor)
Hardware Abstraction Layer: 6.1.7601.17514
RAM: 3096 (allocated to virtual machine)
Bridged networking
VMware host:
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1
18 Gig RAM
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67 GHz
VMWare Workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769
(but problem existed on older version of VMWare Workstation 7.x as well)

Adobe PDF 8.0 Printer not working

I have tried to use the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer but all it does is send the info to the printer and then the Queue stops. I have had a look at other forums and tried everything like deleting the printer and then going into acrobat and repairing it and repairing privileges. Still none of this works... I have run out of ideas.
I did note that in the Acrobat Professional manual that it mentions the following:
> n the pop-up menu below the Presets menu, choose PDF Options, and set any of the following options:
Now my print windows don't have this option or as latter described in the manual an option in the driver to change the PDF preset. I'm wondering if I am missing something. If somebody could please help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

FIXED IT!!! I worked out that all the problems came down to a single file in my preferences: ~/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8/com.adobe.print.AdobePDF8.Defaults.xml now I opened it up and compared it to a version that was working... >** Excerpt from not working version ** ><dict> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <string>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/Test(1).joboptions</string> >** Excerpt from working version ** ><dict> <key>com.adobe.print.AdobePDF.PrintSettings.PDFJobOptionsPath</key> <string>default</string> I think what was going on was that the printer was trying to print to job options that either dont exist or dont work... It would stop the queue and also the printer didnt even have any PDF setting in the print dialog box. Now it works fine. So all you would have to do is delete the file, delete the printer from the print manager and then repair the printer from Acrobat and I should work fine!

Adobe PDF 9.0 printer not working

Hi,
I use Acrobat 9 Professional here and Adobe PDF printer doesn't work.
Distiller notify " /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings/PDFX4 2008.joboptions
/CheckCompliance out of range".
What's the problem?

I've just upgraded to Acrobat Pro 9 (actually 9.1.3) for supposed Snow Leopard compatibility and was having the same problem with the "save as Adobe PDF" workflow crashing. Interestingly (or not), if I created a Postscript file and then manually ran it through the Distiller everything was fine, although the Distiller seems to be running much more slowly than the Distiller for Acrobat 8 did under Leopard. This led me to the conclusion that the problem was in the workflow itself rather than with the components that the workflow calls.
I found that there were actually three copies of "Save as Adobe PDF.action" on my box. One was in root/Library/Automator, one was in root/Users/UserID/Library/Automator, and the third was in root/System/Library/Automator. For some reason the Adobe Updater must have put the workflow in all three. Regardless, by eliminating all except the version in root/System/Library/Automator the workflow started behaving and I was able to cut PDFs directly from the Print dialog.
This may not work for everyone, but it may be worth a try.

InDesign doc exported to PDF won't print

I'm experiencing issues with an exported PDF from InDesign. More specifically, when I export the InDesign doc to a PDF and try to print, I don't have any issues, nor does anyone else in my office, however some of the people that I'm sending the document to are experiencing trouble printing it. They get to 44% flattened and then the printing process slows down, and then once it reaches 50% they get a pop-up window saying that the document can't print and the whole thing stops. They can print the first page by just selecting that page, however the second page cannot be printed this way. I have re-exported the PDF several times and these folks having the issues have cleared their browser cache, re-downloaded the document, saved it to their desktop before opening, and tried renaming the document as well.
What's going on here, and what can I do or tell them to do to fix this?
Also, updating their Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat does not solve the problem.

Hi, I was just wondering if you got the problem resolved. I'm asking because we are experiencing kind of the same issue in our office. Our Marketing Manager is using Adobe InDesign and exports her documents to PDF. These PDFs won't print in any of our printers in the office. It spools and then gets stuck and it actually makes our HP Coloured Laser Printer throw an error (error 79) and we'll have to restart the printer due to this error. We can print other documents and other PDFs in the printer so we know it's not a printer driver issue. In fact, we have isolated the problem to only PDFs exported from InDesign. Even if we create a blank document from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd. We would appreciate if you could share your solution if you were able to fix the issue. Thanks!!

PDFs won't print on new HP printer

I recently added a HP CM1415fnw printer in my office and I cannot print any PDF documents. Word and Excel print fine. Why?

Happily, Windows 7 is in and everything seems to work fine. I have to
navigate around my desktop a bit differently, but everything seems to be
compatible. I especially have to work now with printing Word docs to PDF.
I'll get there...

How do you add "Adobe PDF" as a "printer" in Office 2010/Windows 7

Although with most of the programs you can just save documents and spread sheets as PDFs, in Power Point, it does not allow you the option to save a slide as a PDF with the notes displayed in the PDF, only the slide is transformed to PDF, the notes do not show on them.
Goal: To have notes and slide saved as a PDF
Challenge: Just saving the slide as a PDF does not display notes
Solution in past: Print to Adobe PDF using the Print function and "print" using the notes or outline options in the print window
Problem: ADOBE PDF is not an option in my printer section anymore.
Question: How do I make PDF a "Printer" in with Office 2010 or in general using Windows 7

You make not mention of Acrobat and what version you might have. For Office 2010 to do as you want, you need PDF Maker and will have to have AA X for Office 2010. To get the Adobe PDF printer you could install either AA9 or AAX in Win7. Some folks have been successful with AA8 in Win 7. If you don't have Acrobat, then it is time to order it.

Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it?

Where do I find the Adobe pdf 9.0 printer description file and how do I install it? Operating system is Windows 7 and I have Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 installed. Adobe Acrobat X Pro just updated to version 10.1.8

Hi. Thanks for the replyl
I'm in prepress, working mainly with Quark XPress for advertising files and with Word, Photoshop, everything, for many years. My older computer is the workhorse with Quark 6.5 and CS4 and OSX 10.4.11. Everything is set up for me to produce PDF x1a files by printing .ps files from Quark and Word, and InDesign.
My newer computer, OSX 10.9.4, must now be used to a greater extent. So I have Quark 9 and 10 and now Creative Suite for the Cloud. But I don't have any Adobe PDF printer which I select when I print .ps files and place into my Distiller Watched Folder. I by pass selecting the Adobe PDF printer in Word and just print straight to .ps. The .ps file just sits in the Watched Folder and no longer flows into Distiller, processed and out. Is this the way of the future? I just want a smooth, fast flow for PDF's. I want them to be PDF x1a compliant for hi-quality printing.
Thought you might help to give me info as to how one uses Distiller (or not) with the new operating system and latest programs. Can't seem to find any info as of yet by searching the Adobe FAQ's and the Internet in general.
Thanks alot.

PDFs won't print (Lion and HP laserjet 1300)

I just upgraded to Lion and pdfs won't print. It doesn't appear to be the printer driver, because the printer works with others apps. Any suggestions? It's an HP Laserjet 1300. Yes, it's old, but still works, well, sometimes. just not with pdfs.

Hi Andreais,
I found some useful tips on the HP forum as well. Maybe it is helpful in your case as well: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HPDesignjet-130NR-no-long er-prints-PDF-properly/m-p/768507/highlight/true#M18877

Hiding non-working time in Team Planner View

Hello there. The tasks in my project are typically between 2-5 hours over a week period. In Team Planner View, I'm hoping to provide a better representation of free time between tasks by making my bottom tier hours in a 4 hour count. However,
decreasing the scale forces the Task names become cut off when the event itself shrinks.
I was hoping to remove the non-working time (i.e., nights and weekends) from the Team Planner view to enable a better view. I'm aware that the capabilities of Team Planner View seem to be limited, but is this type of formatting at all possible?
Thanks for the help,
Joe

Joe --
After I created my response and posted it, I wondered whether you wanted to completely remove the nonworking time periods. This is not possible. The best you can do is to remove the shading for nonworking time periods, but you cannot remove them
entirely in any view. Hope this helps.

How to forward support messages to SAP in non-working time automatically?

Hi colleagues and Happy New Year!
I have a question: how to forward support messages to SAP at non-working time automatically?
Details:
when a support message is created at working time it shouldn't leave my system, but when
a support message is created at non working time, for example, on saturday night it should be sent to SAP automatically. Where in the system I can find the options to customize it to provide these requirements?

Adobe PDF as a print option

What do I need to do so that Adobe PDF is a print option?
In other words, when I go to print something, instead of selecting a printer, I can select 'Print to Adobe PDF' and save the item on my hard drive as a pdf

Yes, but.... as I've seen over in the Dreamweaver forums, software changes (functionality) are arbitrary, and subject to no logic at all. Things that are in CS6 aren't in CC, and even some things thatwere in CC at first are now gone, with no warning and no good reason.
Audition CC has all sorts of export problems, and people have had files permanently damaged using Photoshop CC.
If I screw up something on my own system, I own that mistake. I don't want to have to attribute it to something that's still in a "beta" stage as far as reliability goes. Especially at $240 to $480 a year.

How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack Desktop Printer

How do I install the Adobe PDF Pack desktop printer?

If you’re running the standalone version of FM, then the “headless” Acrobat comes with it; reinstall FM to repair that part. However, if you already had a full version of Acrobat installed, the FM installer may have screwed it up – you’ll have to uninstall all Acrobat(s) and reinstall.

Non- Working Time

In sap when i am trying to create a/p invoice based on a grpo and the posting date and due date is 06/01/08 (which is sunday) the system throws following prompt" 06/01/08 is defined as non- working time? continue. yes,no.". The calender defined for the company in the system is of yr 2006 and weekend as saturday to sunday.
-"Valid for one yr only" box is selected
-"Ignore weekends for payments" is NOT selected
Also system never threw this msg when i created a po and grpo.
please let me know why the system has thrown this prompt.

Hi Kapil,
The solution to this problem lies in the fact that you must have mentioned the Payment Date in the BP master data for the vendor......this window is appearing in the Payment Terms Tab in the BP master Data below Holidays.
Use the window to define the days each month in which your customer usually pays the open invoices, or the days each month that your company pays its vendors.
Example
When 10 and 20 are defined in the Payment Dates window for a certain customer, the invoice due dates are calculated as follows:
·        If the posting date is between the 1st and the 10th of a certain month the due date of the invoice is the 10th of that same month.
·        If the posting date is between the 10th and the 20th of a certain month the due date of the invoice is the 20th of that same month.
·        If the posting date is after the 21st of a certain month the due date of the invoice will be the 10th of the next month
Hope this helps.....reward points if helpful

Scheduling changeover times in non working times

PP/DS heuristics and or the PP/DS optimiser will not automatically place changeover times in non working times, however other smaller APS systems have such functionality. Has anyone come across this or have a method to use to get APO to do this? May be it should be a new development?

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your reply. Yes i am aware of this setting - this is the standard approach, however do you know of a way automatically (heuristic or optimiser) schedule the set up segment of an order into non working times whilst keeping the produce section in productive time? I know you can amend the strategy and use that in the heuristic but it will schedule all parts of the order in the non working time if it can.
Thanks
Fred
