Borderless printing with Adobe reader or acrobat and HP Officejet Pro 8100

Hello,
When printing borderless with my Pro 8100 the printed pdf moves about 2mm to te left on the paper. (White vertical strip on the right side is the result and on the left side something is missing!).
What causes the problem seems to be that the HP Pro 8100 printsoftware makes the A4-format a littlebit larger (214,55 x 300,91) than an actual A4-format (210,00 x 297,00) when you choose borderless printing.
Therefore, I suppose that the pdf shoud be centered before printing. Adobe reader doesn't seem to have the possiblity to center the page however.
Any tips?

The borderless printing option is intended to print photo's on photo paper.  When printing borderless the print is slightly oversized to eliminate (or reduce) to chance for white edges due to media skey.  Depending on your operating system you may have a setting in the Advanced tab of the driver for Overspray, set this to minimum and see if it helps.

  • Barcode printed with Adobe Reader XI cannot be recognized by barcode reader

    Dear Support,
    We are generating barcode and convert it into pdf using Crystal Report for .NET Framework 2.0.
    The pdf is opened with Adobe reader XI / FoxitReader 4.3.1. And it is printed with Avery Dennison AP 5.4 300DPI.
    When the pdf is printed with Adobe reader XI, the barcode cannot be read with barcode reader, but when it is printed with FoxitReader 4.3.1, barcode can be read with barcode reader.
    I've compared the two printed barcodes and found Adobe printed the lines thicker and the characters wider. Thus, two lines sticked together and become 1 line. As result, it cannot be recognized by barcode reader.
    Could you explain why did this occur and how can I fix it in Adobe? Are there any settings I can change to solve it?
    Thank you very much.
    Operating System: Windows Xp or Windows 7
    Application: Adobe reader XI or FoxitReader 4.3.1

    Thanks Pak,
    I've attached the pdf on:
    https://files.acrobat.com/preview/47dde05c-4835-4bdc-881f-c406f8056f01
    As the problem I've described in the post only occurs on specific printer, I've found a way to reproduce the barcode problem in most of the printer.
    From the pdf I've provided, you may print it with Adobe and Foxit, using a printing scale of 190%.
    For the Adoble one, you may observe some white lines in between the labels, and the Foxit, there are no white lines.
    I do believe that two problems are related. Do you have any idea on that?

  • One char+ when printing with adobe reader

    hi,
    i've sometimes a strange problem with adobe reader 9.0
    when i print a pdf. the view of the screen is ok,
    but on the paper (happens also on different printers) all printed text (chars and numbers) are increased by 1.
    this meas:
    1 will get 2
    2 will get 3
    A will get B
    a will get b
    etc.
    when i print it again this does not happens.
    does anyone know this problem / have a solution for it?
    regards, johannes

    >Has anyone come across a similar scenario?
    Yeah, it's come up in the forum before. Usually older HP printers with old firmware. If newer firmware is available, I would try that. Otherwise you'll need to use the PCL driver.

  • Runtime error with Adobe Reader 9.x and IE

    I'm getting a runtime error with any adobe reader 9.x and Internet Explorer whenever a .pdf is being viewed online.  It will pull the .pdf up and then pop up a runtime error window and close it down completely.  It is only happening with individuals that have redirected app data folders and profiles.  I have all machines running Windows XP sp3 and IE8.  I know, I know, I can always go to Firefox or Chrome, but IE is easily managed with group policy lockdowns.  I can unintall reader 9.x and then reinstall 8.x and it works perfectly.  The only problem with that is that I have to go do every machine and physically uninstall since I buildt the windows xp installer package with it.  Does anyone know a workaround or if adobe is going to get it fixed pretty soon?

    I am experiencing exactly the same problems on one of two identical machines after something happened in the registry.
    The first problem that appered was an error 1325 "Favorites is not a valid short name".
    I did find the registry key involved (%userprofile%\Favorites) and fixed it.
    So now the the next one: yours.
    I think the solution can be found in the list of registry keys that Adobe Reader is accessing.
    btw Eusing registry cleaner did not find this key to be in error.
    Problem is that the Reader does not ask for an alternative location after stumbling on the key.
    Who can gnerate a list of keys accessed?

  • Mac OSX 10.9 and HP Officejet Pro 8100 Compatibility

    Can we please get a driver for the HP Officejet Pro 8100 that is compatible with the Mac OSX 10.9? I bought the printer so that my roommate and I could share it to print wirelessly, but I am unable to do that without a compatible driver. Please develop one as soon as possible!
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The Drivers are available via Apple Software Update,
    In order to configure it wirelessly you may use the HP Easy Wireless Install app.
    You may find a step by step guide in the following document:
    h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=4337543&spf_p.tpst...
    The app iself can be downloaded from the Mac App Store:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-wireless-setup/id876495880?mt=12
    If you experience any issues while trying to locate the pritner during the wireless configuration. restoring the network defaults for the printer can be done by pressing and holding both the Cancel ( ), the Wireless ( ), and the Power ( ) buttons for three seconds.

  • Error in Printing with Adobe Reader 11.0.2

    I just upgraded Adobe Reader from X to XI on my older Windows XP desktop. When I opened a PDF file and tried to print it, I got a pop up box saying: Prop Res DLL Not Loaded with an OK button. I could not get rid of the error mesage until I closed down Adobe Reader repeatedly. Version X worked correctly so I uninstalled XI and resinstalled it from Adobe's Reader Web Site but stiull get the same error. Any suggestions?

    I did go to the HP website, downloaded the latest drivers, and corrected the problem. Thanks for the help.

  • Problem with Adobe Reader vs Acrobat on my Macbook Air

    A question that is addressed in the forum but the answers (so far) have not worked for me: I just switched to a Macbook Air (from a standard Macbook Pro) and suddenly cannot open PDF files from the internet in Adobe Reader. Instead, I am instructed to sign the user agreement for Adobe Acrobat, which I have never actually purchased and do not have installed on my computer. Per suggestions from earlier threads and from the Adobe help site, I have attempted these steps:
    In the Finder, select a PDF, and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the arrow next to Open With to expose the product menu.
    Choose either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader from the application menu.
    It seems simple enough, but when I open a PDF and click on File, there is no "Get info" option. Nor when I double click on the document itself, is there a "get info" option. The closest thing I see is "properties" which does not take me to the desired dialogue box. So my question is, how to I find "get info," which will presumably take me to the solution?

    Please try to download the new installer from this location and see if that works -Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

  • Can't print with Adobe Reader 9.4.1

    I have an Apple Computer.  I can't print any PDF documents with Adobe 9.4.1
    For the last couple weeks, I get the error message (from my Epson printer) says:
    pstopdffilter/pstocupsraster failed with err number 13
    This has never been a problem before. 
    I use Snow Leopard 10.6.5
    Any help please.

    Now it prints one page at a time, but for longer documents it's a drag that you have to click print for every page. This happened when I first installed Adobe Reader 9.1 in my MacBookPro and then was solved by Adobe via an update, so I guess I'll wait it out. Thanks everybody!

  • Can't printe with Adobe Reader 10.1.2

    I recently downloaded Adobe reader 10.1.2 and can no longer print single pages. In particular I can't print 1 page documents. I select print and then click "Print",  the print dialogue box comes up but it does not change from 0%, the box closes and nothing comes through to my printer?? If I print multi-page document then it prints OK. I had no problem printing with previous versions including 10.1.1 and can't go back to previous versions whenI try to re-download. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Please try the solution provided on: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/928/cpsid_92870.html
    That should fix things.

  • Firefox 7.0.1 works well with Adobe Reader 9.4 and XP, but not with Vista. Fix?

    I run Firefox 7.0.1 at work with XP and the Adobe Reader 9.4 plug-in works fine. At home I run Vista and the Adobe Reader buttons don't work. I can't use the search pane or the up and down buttons to page through. Scrolling works though.

    *** SOME GOOD NEWS HERE ! ***
    Acrobat is soon going to solve this problem in the upcoming update.
    However, as per new FF add on policy, the Create PDF add-on will be disbaled by default. The user would have to manually enable the plugin.
    So, please wait for the next update from Acrobat.

  • Can you disable the "auto open" feature when printing with Adobe Reader x verxion 10.1.6?

    Every time I print a file to PDF, it automatically opens.  Can this be turned off?  I was able to stop this in a previous version of Adobe, but it's been so long, I don't remember how I did it.  I've looked at the settings on my PDF printer as well, but I can't find anything.
    Thanks.

    Hi Sherry,
    You can check the printer preferences for Adobe PDF printer and deselect 'view Adobe PDF result'.
    On windows machine, please go to control panel and then open printer and devices. right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select printer properties/Preferences.
    You must be using Adobe Acrobat to print a document to PDF.
    you cannot print a document to PDF using Adobe Reader.
    Thanks

  • Printing with Adobe reader produces blurry fonts

    Hello,
    I've recently bought a Canon Pixma MP220, installed and updated with the latest drivers for OSX 10.4 from the Canon website.
    When I print pdf documents with the Adobe reader (8.1.2), the printed fonts are really blurry and the speed of the printer is slow, even for black/white text-only documents.
    The same document printed with Preview looks fine and the printer is faster than the previous case. Note that the printer configuration is the same in both cases.
    Other applications, such as Word 04, print fine; so it seems an Adobe related configuration issue. Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Vittorio

    I was thinking this part onward...
    "Adjust resolution for copied images
    Image resolution is always an important consideration when copying and pasting data and when viewing images on screen or on printed pages. Screen resolutions are optimal at 72 pixels per inch (ppi) at 100% size. If you zoom in to a 72-ppi image, you quickly see image degradation. If you want to print documents containing images, 72 ppi is insufficient for almost every printer. You need higher resolutions in order to print images that look satisfactory.
    You may want to copy images or page data in Adobe Reader at higher resolutions than the standard monitor view of 72 ppi. Adobe Reader has a special setting that lets you capture data at different resolutions.
    To capture data at a user-definable resolution:
    1.
    Open the Preferences dialog by pressing Ctrl/Command+K.
    2.
    Select General in the left pane. In the Selection pane, check the Use fixed resolution for snapshots box (Figure 4).
    rdratimages_4int
    Figure 4: Check the box for Use fixed resolution for snapshots.
    3.
    Change the number in the Resolution box. Type a number—like 300—that might be used for printing images at better quality.

  • Unable to Print with Adobe Reader 9

    I just installed the free Adobe Reader 9. After opening a PDF document and attempted to print, I received an alert from Adobe Reader stating that there are no printers installed.
    This is not the case, there are several network printers installed and I'm able to print to them using other applications, such as Word, Browsers, etc.
    Anyone have any ideas before I uninstall this beast of a reader?
    Thanks!!

    My machine has been fine since I last reinstalled adobe reader 9. Tried to print a large pdf file today from my inbox in outlook express and machine again experienced the same problem. Was not able to open my printer and faxes window and unable to print anything else. I resolved the problem by taking the following actions:
    Opened Administrative tools in control paneland went to Component Services and clicked on Services(local).Scrolled window down to Print spooler and highlighted Print spooler. Tried to Stop the service. After some time received an error 1053 indicating that the service could not be stopped successfully.
    I then Tried to restart the service. This appeared to work correctly. at this point tried to reopen printer and faxes window and could now see my printers briefly before getting error msg indicating spooler problem again. When clicking on my printer icon I could see the document that I had tried to print when I experience the original problem in the printer queue. At this point decided to try and find the file in question. Found a file in C:\windows\system32\spool\printers directory with an filename of xxxxx.spl. This is the spooler print file. I then tried to delete this file but was not allowed to do so by the system. I then used a program called unlocker assistant and deleted the file. Hey presto all printing is now restored and working well again.
    It appears that the spool file generated was corrupted and the spooler could not handle the problem. Am not sure where the problem is created. It could be with adobe 9 or it could be a windows spooler problem.
