Blank Pages being  "printed"

When I "print" a PDF from Excel, I'm get occasionally a blank PDF. It shows up fine in the Print Preview dialog in Excel. If I quit Excel, this will usually get the PDF to save properly.
This is not always convenient as I am often running several Excel files at once.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

  • Blank pages while printing in BO6.5.1

    Post Author: Saravanan Perumal
    CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a Business objects report 6.5 with more tables and cells than will fit across one page. This results blank pages while printing, Is there any option to fit the cells and Tables into the first page that extended to the second page.
    Any one having the idea regarding kindly let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    BLANKPAGES specifies whether to suppress blank pages when you print a report. Use this keyword when there are blank pages in your report output that you do not want to print.
    rwclient.exe server=<repserver_name> report=only_main.RDF userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf BLANKPAGES=NO
    Another solution would be the use of srw.abort_program:
    If there is no data, the report is not run:
    SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT needs to be called from a format trigger and since any object within repeating frame ( based on main query) will not be formatted unless there is data, So need to have a "Boilerplate Text" outside of Frame and placed at "Main Section"-> "Body". This Text object will have Following format Trigger.
    begin
    if :data_yn ='Y' then
    null;
    else
    SRW.MESSAGE(100, 'No Data to run report ');
    raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
    end if;
    return (False);
    end;
    Here return (false) as do not want to print the text.
    data_yn is a user parameter variable, Not exposed to user or at Parameter Page.
    There is PL/SQL Filter Written at the Main Query at Data Modal as
    function G_EMPNOGroupFilter return boolean is
    begin
    Select 'Y' into :data_yn from dual;
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    This Helps in setting data_yn to Y is there is data returned by the underlying Query. by default this is Null.
    So when Report is executed by passing 2 as value to 'no', Query does not returns any row, So PL/SQL filter will not run and while formatting Blank report, format trigger of the "Text Object" will raise exception to abort report, thus no output.
    Similarly if there is data returned by Query then PL/SQL filer will set 'Y' to data_yn and "Text object" format trigger will not raise Exception.

  • Smartform: Blank page gets Printed

    Hi All,
    in my smart form i have two pages, Second page contains main window.
    i have restricted my first page with some conditions , so that first page data will not be printed.
    if i execute the smartform first page is printed blank without any data.
    is there any option to avoid the blank page getting printed????
    Regards,
    Dinesh R

    Hi Dinesh,
    One reason for getting a blank page is if the windows are overlapped in the page layout. Please check and see if any window is overlapping.
    Else, check for "page break" . This is a check box . Once this is activated for a text or window or page, it directs you to a new page. Probably this might be the problem.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • AR Invoice Printing Blank page when printed through printer

    Hi,
    I customized AR invoice to give PDF output through BI Publisher.There is no issue when tried to view the output.
    When tried to print the output through printer, It's given blank page.
    All other BI publisher reports which will give PDF output in Straight single request are printing through printer correctly.
    But AR invoice By standard program itself when fired, First a Multi Language Function will fire which will have output of 0 bytes and after that as a child request Original program with Required output will fire.
    It seems that printer is printing Parent request output.
    Can anyone please help me regarding this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Best Regards,
    Mahesh

    Hi,
    I'm guessing the concurrent program is outputting text (character mode) as opposed to PDF?
    This could be a number of reasons:
    1. Printer driver issue, e.g. the number of lines printed on the page is more than is defined for the printer driver: Try reducing the "Rows" on the current program definition
    2. Printer PRT issue, extra page break could be being inserted.
    3. The "box" in the report definition containing the address could be being expanding due to the extra address line, but not enough space so it forces a new page to be printed.

  • Cannot print -- random text & blank pages when printing -- HP Color Laserjet 3600N

    Apple Support Community,
    I'm having some trouble connecting my computer and printer via a network connection. The printer functions fine among other computers (Mac, PC) connected via a network connection, but one particular MacBook is giving me trouble.
    I can get the printer and laptop to connect, however when I try to print, it gets buggy on me. Usually it will print a page with some random text, followed by an excess amount of blank pages, then another page with text similar to the first. The text usually has information including font types and other formatting data, but not what was "printed."
    I have tried to update the printer drivers, but I cannot get the printer utility to utalize them. After installing the most recent drivers, it will continue to suggest the generic laser printer drivers (1.0 verison), or I can choose other printer drivers (including "base" 3000 model drivers), but the 3600N drivers are not avalible on the list. Both the generic drivers and the HP drivers give me the random text upon printouts.
    The laptop is a MacBook Pro with 10.6.
    What is the best course of action to remedy the printer problem?
    Thanks!
    Jel.

    Over the holidays, I spent a couple of hours on the phone with HP, a couple with Microsoft, and previously with Apple. Microsoft said they are working on updates, should be fixed by the release of Office 2008. Apple says there's a compatibility issue among the HP printer and Leopard and "some" programs. HP tells me it's an "old" printer (which they were happy to sell me in April 2007) and they may not release new drivers. HP also says Apple knows there are printing issues.
    In the meantime, I'm using Pages and shopping for a new non-HP printer.

  • Firefox 17 on Windows 7 prints blank pages after printing selection

    I need to be able to highlight text on a webpage and print only that text using the print selection inside the file/print tab. However, instead, I am getting only that highlighted text AND then blank pages (with headers and footers) keep printing (how many pages that print depends on the actual size of the webpage).
    I have Windows 7, 32bit and Firefox 17. I updated Firefox this morning and restarted but the problem still exists. I did not have this problem when I had Windows XP.
    The print selection works properly in IE9.

    Firefox's Print Selection feature has always left much to be desired...
    What I get is blank pages ''before'' the selection but not after. You get blank pages for the entire document? That's especially unhelpful.
    I am aware of two ''workarounds''. Each isolates the selection by itself so you can print it normally, i.e., without choosing Print Selection.
    '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nuke-anything-enhanced/ Nuke Anything Enhanced]'''
    After installing this add-on, when you have a selection and right-click it, you can choose "Remove everything else" to isolate the text for printing. Note that you need to reload the page to see the rest of the content again.
    '''Bookmarklet'''
    Before learning about the above, I wrote a small script to isolate the selection for printing. I wouldn't use it if you are filling in a form, making a purchase, etc., since the script duplicates part of the page and this may break the form. On the other hand, at least there is some level of undo without reloading the page.
    If you want to try it, here are the steps:
    (1) Select and copy the following line of script (it's all one long line):
    javascript:var sel=window.getSelection(); if(!sel.isCollapsed){var rng=sel.getRangeAt(0); if(!rng.collapsed){var docfrag=rng.cloneContents(); if(!document.getElementById("divHideMe")){var rng2=document.createRange(); rng2.selectNodeContents(document.body); var myContainer=document.createElement("DIV"); rng2.surroundContents(myContainer); myContainer.setAttribute("id","divHideMe"); rng2.detach();} myContainer.style.display="none"; if(document.getElementById("printFrag")){var myFrag=document.getElementById("printFrag"); while(myFrag.firstChild) {myFrag.removeChild(myFrag.firstChild);} myFrag.style.display="block";}else{var myFrag=document.createElement("DIV"); myFrag.setAttribute("id","printFrag"); document.body.appendChild(myFrag);} myFrag.appendChild(docfrag); rng.detach(); var myP=document.createElement("P"); myFrag.appendChild(myP); myP.setAttribute("id","killBtn"); var myBtn=document.createElement("INPUT"); myP.appendChild(myBtn); myBtn.setAttribute("type","button"); myBtn.setAttribute("value","Return to Page"); myBtn.setAttribute("onclick","document.getElementById('divHideMe').style.display='block'; document.getElementById('printFrag').style.display='none';"); myStyle=document.createElement("STYLE"); myFrag.appendChild(myStyle); myStyle.setAttribute("type","text/css"); myStyle.setAttribute("media","print"); myStyle.innerHTML="#killBtn{display:none}";}} void 0;
    (2) Right-click the Bookmarks Toolbar and choose New Bookmark. (If you do not ordinarily display the Bookmarks Toolbar, you can add it to the menu instead. Whatever will be convenient.)
    (3) Click in Location and paste the script.
    (4) Click in Name and name it whatever you like (I call it Crop4Print) and then click Add.
    Now after selecting text, click the bookmarklet button to hide the rest of the page.

  • HT4356 Blank page when printing from email

    I just got and set up Epson NX 430. It is AirPrint printer and is printing from both iPhone and iPad.
    Seems to be fine except when printing except from email. Then it always feeds a blank page first then prints the email. I can't figure out how to stop it from feeding blank page.
    I contacted Epson and they say it is an AirPrint issue and I have to contact Apple for that.
    Anyone else having same issue and any ideas of how to fix or stop the blank page?

    In the Print dialog, select Open PDF in Preview from the PDF menu in the lower left corner. Is the print preview blank?

  • Urgent: Oracle Reports : Blank Page Should print after each Group of record

    Hi all,
    I have a different kind of requirement, in my report I have 1 block and I want to generate a blank page after every group of records. This is because the printer is printing both side of the paper and we are giving multiple group at same time.
    Cannot touch the printer setup since it is a common one. Anybody can help me in this for a fast and simple way ? "Maximum records per page" property for the repeating frame give the next group to a fresh page but there will not be a blank page in between.
    Please help ..
    Thanks,
    Ani.

    Thank you for your attention.
    Empty frame with page break is not helping me since it will not hide the rest of the items which are outside the repeating frame. Like Report caption, Group Name, Page footer etc...
    If I am using the empty frame, is there any way to hide all other items ?
    Thanks,
    Anish

  • Eprinting - blank page being generated

    Everytime I send an attachment (.pdf), the printer via email, it will "print" or better yet cycle a blank page prior to printing the actual document desired. Nothing in the subject line or body of the email, just a blank email with a .pdf attachment - as I only want the pdf to print, nothing else. 
    When I arrive to the location where the printer is, I can open and wirelessly print the same document (direct, via the wireless router - not emailing).
    Does anyone experience same or have a fix?
    The printer in question is a photosmart premium c310

    When sending an email with attachment to ePrint Center, the email prints along with the attachment.  If the email is blank, the page would be blank.  Please try adding a short message in the email and see it that is printed on the previously blank page.
    I was an HP employee.

  • OSX 10.3.9 - Blank page when printing to HP LaserJet 2430.

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with a user who has a G5 running OSX 10.3.9.
    Initially they were able to print to the printer fine but as of Friday last week it just prints a blank page.
    The printer is setup on a print server and the Mac has it setup via an LPD queue.
    It was setup to use an HP2300 print driver and that was fine. But has since stopped working. I installed the proper 2430 driver but get the same problem.
    I've tried dumping the apple.print.*.plist preferences but still it only prints out a blank page from every application I've tried i.e. Word 2004, Text Edit, Adobe Acrobat etc...
    You can print to other printers no problem. I can also print from another identical model Mac to the troublesome printer.
    Has anybody got any further suggestions?
    Much appreciated!
    Richard

  • Blank pages when printing from Safari

    Hi,
    I have a brand new iMac running Leopard which is connected via USB to an older HP All-in-one (PSC 2210). The only driver available is from Leopard (none is available on hp.com)
    I can print documents (Word, Entourage, etc.) just fine. When I try to print from Safari (any website) it prints 5 blank pages, then part of the website, another blank page, a bit more of the site.
    Below is the email from HP.
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks,
    Bruce
    Hello Bruce,
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    There are no full feature drivers available for the Macintosh OS 10.5 that is compatible with the
    PSC 2210 The engineers will not be creating any full feature drivers for the PSC 2210 due to the age of the printer. You should have print functionality because of the built in drivers, but
    you will not have scanning functionality.
    Printing from a Web browser, a software program used to access the Internet, is often problematic since most Web pages are designed to be viewed rather than printed. Getting a successful printout depends on the way the page was constructed and the settings within the Web browser. In most cases, these problems have nothing to do with the printer itself.
    Open the web browser you wish to print from. Click on File, top menu bar, and select Page Setup. Make sure the PSC 2200 series is selected as the default printer in Format For. Click Print.
    If you do not have a Page Setup when you click on File, then just select Print. Make sure the PSC 2200 series is selected as the default printer. Click Print.
    If you are still having the same issue, bring up the document you wish to print. Click on Edit, top menu bar, and select Select All. Click on Edit again and select Copy. Open the Hard Drive/Applications/TextEdit.
    Click on Edit and select Paste. This should copy and paste the document into TextEdit. Click on File and select Print.
    If you are still having an issue, you will have to contact Apple for further assistance. The only other option HP can give you is an upgrade option.

    I was asking the question to test whether or not it is the website, not as a workaround necessarily.
