Bug in PDF and print output with gradients?

I've got a document that makes use of a gradient fill in a table, and I find that (at least for the < 2pt border widths) the border has a thin white line to either side. It shows up readily in both the print and PDF outputs. Is this a known issue? Where can I file a bug for it? I'm using iWork 6.0 with the latest patches applied. This all worked and looked fine under iWork 5.0. :-(

What are you using to view/print the pdf's?
Make sure you have the latest Adobe Reader, found
here:
Adobe - Adobe Reader - Download
I'm using Preview. I did check it using Acrobat reader on Windows, and the problem still exists. I suspect there was an error made (by Pages) computing the edge of the rectangle for the gradient. It renders correctly in iWork '05.

  • Difference in alignment of  pdf and printer output

  • Export to PDF and Print to Postscript (in one step)

    I am seeking a script that will do the following consecutively:
    * Export to PDF (PDF settings never changes, output directory never changes)
    * Print to PS (printer preset that is used never changes, output directory never changes)
    It would save us a lot of time in our workflow having to do this in one step, with a single keyboard shortcut.
    Since the same PDF and Printer presets are always used, as well as the output directories, It would
    probably be easy to include those settings in the script itself, as opposed to some preference file, I'm guessing.
    If anyone can help me write this, I'd much appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Destin

    Thanks Gerald for the suggestion.
    Looks like some powerful software there... and a bit pricey for what I need to do (over $500 US dollars, yikes).
    Surely the script I am seeking is much less involved than that.  I suppose I'll have to try to do some Javascript myself,
    which will be a learning experience...

  • PDF and RTF output differences

    Hi All
    I'm having some issues when previewing labels in PDF and RTF output. I have created a RTF template that outputs labels - 5 address lines per label, 2 X 10 labels per page. Each label is contained in a table and each address line is contained in a table row.
    - When I preview the RTF output long address lines are not being truncated even though I uncheck the wrap option on the table cell properties.
    - When I preview the RTF output I can get 2x10 labels on the page (if no wrapping occurs) but when I preview in PDF I can only get 2x9 labels on the page. I have checked the font size of both the PDF and RTF outputs and they are the same size. It looks like the header and footer is taking up more space on the PDF version compared to the RTF version when I visually inspect the output but I cannot be sure.
    Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve these issues?
    regards
    Brad

    Always its better to use different templates for individual output types as the template designed with perfection for pdf output type dosen't comply with rtf or any other type and vice versa.
    Cheers!

    How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail.  Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail.  What have I done differently?

    Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
    And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
    Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
    Any more clues?

  • AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

    Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
    I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter.  Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day.  I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession.  I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
    The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
    The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
    Finally, send only that page to the printer.
    Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application.  While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll.  Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat.  I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
    Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated.  I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall.  Thank you for your time.

    If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
    If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

  • Pdf and djvu viewer with bookmark support.

    Hello everyone.
    Can someone advise me pdf and djvu viewer with a bookmarks support?
    I was using evince before but some time ago a bookmark support
    ceased to work for me.
    I mean a bookmark support with ability to open saved documents
    after restarting of viewer.

    Thanks for answer. As far as I discovered apvlv remembers the last position in pdf and djvu files but opens it only in pdf files correctly. At least it happens with my djvu files.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

    I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
    A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
    But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
    Thank you in advance.
    Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

  • User getting print output with logo and footer is cut

    Hi Experts,
    User is trying to print a PDF from Portal system and the print output comes with the logo cut at the top on the right handside and footer cut at the bottom
    Please can you let me know what could be the issue and how to investigate the issue
    Regards,
    RaviChandra.Katla

    Hi Nick,
    The user has reverted back that the print is working fine when you print word documents or other systems
    The user is trying to give print from the Portal system and says that
    "it is not possible in e-Recruiting to choose a printer like it can be done in a SAP backend system. E-Recruiting is a web based application and with any correspondence scenarios which allows print outs there is only a button "print". Clicking on that button the e-Recruiting system is triggered to print the requested document on the network printer of the users. This process happens blind in the background and there is absolutely no user interaction (like choosing layout options, choosing printer, changing properties etc.) necessary or possible"
    Also for your information print privew is getting dispalyed correctly
    Please can you help us as the logo and footer is still cut, also please can you let me know if you require more information
    Thanks and regards,
    Ravi

  • Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

    We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
    Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
    But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
    The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
    We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
    So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

    This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

  • I I made a PDF fie to preview, but am still apprehensive to actually order the book, as I have ordered some prints of photos after I thought i had them cropped correctly and prints returned with heads, half of bodies have a book formatted and ready to buy

    I have formatted a photo book, but am apprehensive to push the "buy" button as I have ordered prints that I thought were cropped correctly, and they returned with heads cut off and half of bodies mising.  I have put the book on a PDF file as instucted, please reassure me that if everything looks right there, that is the way the book will look??

    If the PDF looks good then the printed copy should be OK.  The only problem you might run into is the color rendering.  As long as none of your photos use the sRGB profile and not the Adobe RGB color profile the color should be fine.
    On those prints that were cropped incorrectly: did you copy them to the print size ordered before uploading for printing? If not then they will be cropped by the printing equipment and you'll lose part of the top and bottom of the print (for landscape prints).

  • Dynamically generating and printing output from user input on pdf form

    Hi Everyone,
    I am consider the purchase of of Designer with the hopes of doing something really simple (and hopefully in a simple way)
    I would like to present the user with a form which they will fill out. On clicking a "submit button", I would like to generate a letter and have it print out based on the information provided in this form (note, the user doesn't ever really even need to see the letter).
    Would Designer be able to do something like this? I have been messing around with the trial version, so I am somewhat familiar with the scrip language. For instance, I am at the point where I would be able to get all the information, and generate the letter in HTML stored in a string object. But I wouldn't know what to do with this string to render and print it.
    Thanks!
    - Dave

    I have just downloaded the trial version of Acrobat 7. It appears that if you want to create a new form, it pretty much brings you to Designer... which is really fine by me.
    I appreciate everyone telling me that it is doable, I'm still left with the problem of what I should actually do to do it! =)

    this generates spool in SP01. Ideally it should generate a PDF spool file but it generates a BIN file of Format G_RAW. When I display the spool it displays all kinds of japanese characters which does not make sense,.
    I setup printer ISJB with device type JPPDF (PDF converted for Japanese characters). Does any one know where the problem could be? Why I could not print the Spool in PDF?
    Thank you,
