Can certain objects on a PDF be set to not print?

Weird situation... Someone emailed us an invoice as a PDF with our addresses displayed at the top.  When I print the invoice out, a totally different address prints out in that spot instead.  I have Acrobat Pro so I started moving things around and found someone covered the incorrect address with a while box and typed the new address over top (something I do myself quite often).  So why are these newer items not printing that are totally covering up the older items that are printing?  Im not sure where to start looking for answers on this.
I dont think this is computer specific either.  It seems that this other company have been getting these invoices for a while despite being corrected numerous times.  So when the invoices are printed, they keep getting mailed to the wrong person despite the correct address displaying on the screen.  Very strange but curious what would cause this!

It depends. If they used a form field, it's possible they set it to
"Visible but doesn't print". If it's another form of object, like a
comment, it's possible you're simply not selecting to print it in the Print
dialog. You should try flattening the file if you want to prevent this kind
of issues in the future.

  • Exported PDFs from InDesign will not print

    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 or add just text from InDesign and export it to PDF it still won't print. Really odd.

    How exactly are you trying to print those PDF files to the HP printers? From Adobe Reader? From Adobe Acrobat? Or are you just somehow sending them to the printer itself?
    Typical HP and other desktop printers either don't directly support PDF printing or only support subsets of PDF.
    Assuming you haven't tried this already, try printing the PDF to your printer from either Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.

  • PDF files that do not print out on paper but are OK on screen

    Print PDF files when produced in ADOBE XI from  Excel 2010 worksheets
    The PDF files appear ok on the screen but do not print out all of the text on paper.
    Formating is recognised and printed oK but not text.
    Font segoe UI size 9 point - colours used default, blue and brown.  What little that is printed shows all colours OK but not all body of text
    This problem has been reported to me from dozens of my Clients and I have the same problem when printing hardcopy.
    Can anybody help ?

    I tried a font change on an abstracted part of the original file.  I selected Ariel - the majority of the page printed - headers and footers partialy printed.  But it is a step forward thank you. 
    My choice of Font Segoe UI (True type) font as a default was after reading an article which stated that Segoe and another font, were fast becoming a "Microsoft computer standard font". 
    A further question falls out of my problem is why is there no problem when a client of mine converted the original Excel Workbook with Adobe 9 and had no such problem ?.
    I do not have ADOBE 9 and cannot test it myself - but why should it work with an older version of ADOBE ?

  • Print to pdf in excel does not print full workbook

    I have 18 separate sheets in one workbook. I need to print all of the sheets into one pdf.
    When I go to "Print" and "Save to PDF", the resulting PDF only includes the last 15 sheets of the full workbook.
    I always select "Entire Workbook", or make the range from Page 1-18, but it will still only save the last 15 pages every time.
    Are there other settings I need to change? Ideas anybody?

  • SDK creating PDF files that will not print with pcl6

    We are using the PDF SDK 7.1 to create PDF files from our application on Windows. The PDF files mostly consist of PATH elements representing 2D graphics. We have customers that have trouble printing them from Acrobat on PCL6 printers, they either get a memory error, or an error that there is not enough memory.
    As a workaround, they have used Ghostscript to create the PDF files, then they have no problem printing the files. I am at a loss to see what could cause the problem. Are there tools to analyze a PDF file that could help? I tried PDF CanOpener, and it didn't help much.
    We are using PDSaveLinearized when we close the document. Any help, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • Setting to not print headerwhen printing email documents

    Hi All, Have a new MX922 and am trying to find out if there is any way, when printing an emailed document, to have it not print the from/to/sent/subject info at the top. Possibly also not print the page infor (ie: page 1 of 2, etc.). I know on my old MP950 that was not possible but curious if its an option on the 922.

    Hi Chipmeister, The option to prevent header information and page numbers from printing on emails would need to be adjusted from within the email program that you are using; the Help menu of the email program that you are using may have details on preventing the data from displaying on printouts.

  • Is it possible to make an object/colour that will not print but still be visible on screen once saved as a PDF?

    I want to show stuff in a PDF that will automatically not 'print' from Illustrator.
    For example create a colour to make shapes and text that you can read from the saved PDF but will not print once the PDF is printed out
    Thanks

    from illustrator you could put stuff on a template layer (check 'Template' in layer options), but then it would only be visible on the illustrator side; opened in Acrobat the layer would be invisible.
    you could do it from Acrobat Pro though. have 'Create Acrobat layers from top-level layers' checked in the PDF save options, then open in Acrobat and look in the layer properties (this is from Acrobat Pro 9):

  • Can Data Links be established between Data sets based on View Objects?

    Hi all,
    In the BI Publisher Documentation it's given that Datasets based on view object queries do not support Data Links / Group Links. We found out that only way to establish relationship between view object Datasets is to create a view link and then upload it to create a Dataset.
    1. Is there any other way to establish relationship between view objects Datasets in DataModel editor itself just as in the case of data sets based on (SQL queries e.t.c.)?
    2. If so can View object Datasets be linked to Datasets based on other Datasources?
    3. Will the Datalinks for View object Datasets be supported in any of the upcoming releases. Is there any ER logged for this case?
    Any insight on the above issues will be really helpful.
    Thanks

    Enhance the data source with date and time and populate these fields in the user exit using the function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP .
    OR
    You can create Z function module IB_CONVERT_FROM_TIMESTAMP in BW side and write a routine in update rules/transfer rules to populate date and time.
    hope this helps ...

  • How can I set Firefox to print to PDF, the only otions I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    A couple of weeks ago, from the file menu, in my print options was to print a web page to PDF, that facility is no longer there. does anyone know how can I set Firefox to print to PDF.
    The only options I have are (1) My Canon printer, (2) Fax or (3) Microsoft XPS document writer. There is no option for PDF

    Firefox generally displays the printers in Windows' Printers folder (Start orb > Devices and Printers). If it is missing one of the printers listed there, could you indicate which one it is, for example, Adobe Distiller, PrimoPDF, CutePDF Writer, etc.?
    If you previously had an add-on which added print-to-PDF functionality just to Firefox, perhaps it got disabled. You could check here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
    Also, are you really running Firefox 8.0.1? That version from last November is no longer secure and has been superseded by Firefox 11. If you browse the web widely, you should update for your security.

    Dear Dan,
    It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
    So what I did was tested and worked for years.
    You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
    Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.
