Can i add a print command to a button in InDesign?

I would like to create a button that will send the document to print.
I am creating an interactive PDF from InDesign CS5 (full screen view). it is a 50 page document with links and buttons.
I would like to be able to create a button which will send the document to print.
I know the commnd/ctrl P does the job, but my client insists (long story).
...and while we're at it: is there a way to "PRINT THIS PAGE ONLY" too?
thanks a lot.

Regarding the final PDF you produce with the Print button; when the user hits the Print button the usual printer dialogue box is launched and s/he can select which pages he wants to print and the number of copies. I think this is what you said this is what your customer wants.
Note: when you add the Print button, within the Acrobat Forms facility, you then go to Button Properties dialogue box and select  Actions, select the trigger (i.e. On Mouse Down); Add an Execute a menu Item, click on Add and select File > Print from the drop-down list. A bit complicated to explain here, but easier enough if you have a play around with it. Acrobat Forms are a wonderful facility – well worth exploring the many things you can do with them. Especially if you set up your document first in InDesign!

    I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active.  Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue. 

    This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

    You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
    Hope this helps.

    With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

    It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

  • Is it possible to add the exit command to a button in ALV OO toolbar

    Hi ABAP folks,
    is there are a way to add the exit command to a button of an ALV toolbar (like in the GUI status)?
    I want to prevent the field validations of a dynpro field at PAI.
    Thanks and regards,
    Martin

    Manage the event [TOOLBAR|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/en/ee/c8e07dd52611d2b468006094192fe3/frameset.htm] of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
    This event is triggered by the ALV each time the toolbar of the control needs to be regenerated. To add self-defined functions to the toolbar, you trigger the event using method set_toolbar_interactive and write an event handler method ( see also: Defining GUI Elements in the Toolbar).
    Look at demo BCALV_GRID_05.

    Raymond

  • How can I add 'AlternateSpace' and 'AlternateColorValue' to my IDML in InDesign?

    how can I add 'AlternateSpace' and 'AlternateColorValue' to my IDML in InDesign?
    I have a document and colors (CMYK) but need also RGB values to display on the web.
    In IDML in Resources/Graphic.xml in each Color are attributes 'AlternateSpace' and 'AlternateColorValue'.
    How can I set this in InDesign?

    I cannot follow you exactly…
    Do you mean you are using the IDML in a further process for Web Design? Translating the IDML to HTML or something?
    And now, you need the alternate information for doing the RGB representation of some or all the colors?
    InDesign itself does not provide an interface to that.
    Nor does scripting.
    However, you could change the values in an IDML or IDMS file by editing the file(s):
    AlternateSpace="NoAlternateColor" to: AlternateSpace="RGB"
    AlternateColorValue"" to: AlternateColorValue"0 144 54"  (a green one)
    Here a tabular overview of the properties of a color exported with a colored rectangle as IDMS file:
    <
        Color Self="Color/GREEN1-Process"
        Model="Process"
        Space="CMYK"
        ColorValue="100 0 100 0"
        ColorOverride="Normal"
        AlternateSpace="NoAlternateColor"
        AlternateColorValue=""
        Name="GREEN1-Process"
        ColorEditable="true"
        ColorRemovable="true"
        Visible="true"
        SwatchCreatorID="7937"
    />
    If you'll import the edited IDMS file in a new document and export again as IDML or IDMS, the changed values will persist.
    Don't know, if that goes in the right direction for you. I'm guessing here a lot…

    When I use the add printer feature, the printer shows up. I select it, then hit next.   The next step is to install the print drivers.  BUT, my printer isn't listed.  I have updated the list, but it still isn't on the list.
    How do I add my printer?

  • Can't Add New Printer

    In the Print & Fax section of my system preferences it used to show my USB printer. But then, for some reason, it disappeared. Now when I click the add printer button, I can see my printer under the default printers tab, however, when I click to add my printer it asks for a password of someone in the "lpadmin" group. My administrator password does not work for this.
    If anyone has any ideas at all, they would be much appreciated.

  • Can i add a "print" link in standard KM iViews??

    Hi All,
    I have done some Portal development.
    I am new to KM.
      I have some doubts:
    1.       I want to develop custom News Component, Discussion Group & Discussions etc.. What perspective I should use? I mean, is it PDK? Or is there something else?
    2.       In a standard KM iView (for ex: in a news iView), can I add a link called print (say) to print the whole content in the iView? Or should I have to make a custom development for that.
                Please tell me what I should refer to. Any classes like IRoom, IDisscussionGroup etc..????
    Plz help me.

  • Can't add new printer Dell 1350

    I am trying to add a Dell 1350 laser printer to my list of printers.  When I try to add it, i am unable to find an appropriate file for "Print Using:" option.        
    If I choose Autoselect, is states that Software for this printr isn't available from Apple.
    I downloaded the driver from Dell and installed it, but nothing shows in the Select Printer Software list in the Print Using drop-down.  I can't seem to find a file on my iMac that is appropriate either (e.g., Dell-specific or generic printer driver)

    You make it a little difficult to help you because you haven't provided any information about your system. Going forward please complete your profile (Your Stuff (upper right) - Profile.) I'm going to guess you use OS X Snow Leopard or Lion, if so please see Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion for a list of supported printers. If you cannot find your Dell then you can try Gutenberg's printer drivers and maybe you will be able to find one. You can find their site at:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
    You can also check Dell's web site to see if they provide a driver. Because Dell is really a MS Windows company they don't invest much at all in supporting peripherals that users would like to use with OS X. To be honest I think the Gutenberg drivers are the best bet. If they can't help I'd replace the printer with one designed for OS X, they're are hundreds to choose from.

  • Can't add new printer to iMac G5

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a new Epson Stylus CX7800. I installed the software, plugged in the USB cable and restarted the computer. When I try to add the printer in the Printer Setup Utility, it's listed but when I select it, the button to "add" it doesn't become active. Also listed is a thing called FlashPaper, which when highlighted, is able to be added. WHY CAN'T I ADD MY NEW PRINTER!!!! I'm so frustrated right now, please help!
    J

    Take a deep breath & count to ten...............
    If you have not already done so after the installation:
    Repair permssions & restart.
    Go through the installation process per the instructions in the Epson manual, the Printer Setup Utility and/or double check to make sure you installed properly the first time around.
    If the above still does not work and/or appears you have done everything correctly, then you will need to check out Epsons Support Site. You may need to update the drivers.
    Good Luck!

  • Can not add new printer

    I reset my printer list on my mother's MacBook and tried to add a new printer. There are no printers to add in the Add Printer list. I ran Repair Disk Permissions and still I can not add any printers through the System Preferences>Print & Fax. Why are there no printers to select?

    Try reinstalling the printer drivers (software) that came with the printer or go to the printer manufacture web site and download the drivers there.

  • Can not add a printer

    I am trying to add a networked HP 3600dn to my MacBookPro8,1 running 10.6.8.
    I set it up in the add printer box via IP > HP Jetdirect - Socket using the IP address. It is recognized and has the drivers, but when I click add, it drops the the box that says it's determining the installable options, and it immidiately pops back up. The printer isn't added at that point. I can click it over and over with the same results. I have rebooted and I have zapped the PRAM. Other users can add the printer without issue, and I can add other printers to this machine without issue.
    Any clues as to what could possibly be causing this problem?
    Thanks!

    Don't know if this helps but below is the solution I found for my 3600 printing from Snow on one machine and Mountain Lion on the other:
    Ok folks. After 4 days of frustration I finally found a wonderful lady at HP mac support who knew her stuff. If you are having problems connecting to your HP Laserjet (I have an HP Laserjet 3600. I'm told this solution will work for any "older" Laserjet models also) via your network after installing the newest drivers. Here is the solution that worked for me:
    1. Shut down your printer
    2. Connect directly with a USB cable.
    3. Turn on the printer and then select the USB printer in the Print and Fax dialogue.
    4. Print one sheet with the USB.
    5. Now install the Bonjour, IPP and or HP socket option
    6. Test print and you are finished
    Now the drivers can find the printer over your network. So far no failures. Oh yeah, don't forget to reserve the IP address for your LaserJet via Airport Extreme:)
    Hope this helps a few of you who have experienced similar issues.
