Can i set a pdf document to print back to back every time?

have had a look through the help menus but no luck, just wondered if i could change the print settings so that when people open the document it automatically prints back to back every time? thanks in advance.

No.
If you could, what would you expect to happen when someone without a duplex printer prints it?

Print PDF document with printer's name and date/time of print

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this...
I have a PDF document and when I print it, I want the printer's name and the date/time of print to be showed on the printer's output.
I have several printers (some local and some on network) and don't necessarly use the default one. I would like the name of the printer used, to be printed on the document.
With var h = this.getField("Printer"); h.value = app.printerNames; I'm able to get the list of all printers available but I just need the one used.
For the date/time, using var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("mmm/d/yyyy", new Date()); gives me the date/time of when the document is open, not when the document is printed. (or maybe I'm missing something?)
I guess the date/time issue is not the major one as there is usually not much difference between the time you open the document and the time you print it.
I'm more interested in the printer's name.
I use Acrobat Pro 9 to edit my PDF document.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

This project was left aside for a while... but it's now finished!
Thank you for the answers. It was helpful.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did (using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1):
Open PDF document in Acrobat
Select Forms -> Add or Edit Fields
Add two text fields: one called "Today" for the date and one called "Printer" for the printer name
Close the form editing
Select Advanced -> Document Processing -> Set Document Actions...
Then select Document Will Print and Edit
Paste the following code:
var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy - HH:MM", new Date());
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
this.getField("Printer").value = pp.printerName;
Save your PDF
Enjoy!
The date and printer name field will be automatically updated when you print the document!

How can I set the finder window to open the same way every time?

Everytime I open Finder it goes back to it's default view which is just too small, but I want to set the finder columns and window so that they open the same exact way every single time. I'm tired of resizing everything.
Currently I have to resize every window and column everytime and I think my work is much slower then when I was on Windows because of it.
Is there a setting, script, file, patch, anything, is there absolutely anything I can do to actually control the Finder views and make them adjust to MY criteria and stay that way...

That is a big negative. That does absolutely nothing other then close my window, next time the finder window is opened then the column widths are small again.
In Windows Explorer all your windows are customizable, how do I do this with Finder?

How can I stop my psc 1310 from printing a test sheet every time I turn it on?

Ever since I changed the cartridge in my all-in-one, it prints the test sheet whenever I turn it on. I tried unplugging it and reinstalling the software, but it still keeps on wasting paper and ink.

Just scroll to the bottom of a screen in iTunes and log out of your iTunes account. She will be asked for your iTunes username and password if she tries to get anything--free or paid.

How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo's?

After reading dozens of forum, I still don’t found the answer.
I made a photobook with full-colur and B/W photos for Offset printing. I want the B/W to be in grayscale to avoid color possible color shades. It seems InDesign doesn’t support grayscale, the images become way to dark. Even with exporting without any colour conversion or destination and/or including original colour profiles, the grayscale pictures are being exported to dark to PDF.
How can I export to PDF for Offset printing including color and grayscale photo’s?

Yes, the Photoshop & ID CMYK working spaces are the same
This can get difficult because the 3 programs handle soft proofing differently.
The working spaces don't matter, it's the document profile(s) that manage the preview. So here is the same grayscale image placed in ID on top and PS on the bottom. I've set my Photoshop info to show the doc profile in the lower left corner. I can see my InDesign's Document CMYK profile in my Proof Setup (the Working CMYK is different and isn't being used). Both profiles are effectively the same Coated FOGRA39 (Black Ink FOGRA in the case of PS).
But the previews don't match because I have Overprint turned off, so the InDesign preview is Gamma 2.2 or a "screen" media preview.
If I turn on Overprint preview I get a match because I'm soft proofing for print:

Is there a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying?

Does anybody know a way of protecting PDF documents from printing and/or copying? All this within the OS possibilities? Is there a way?
know one can buy expensive programmes like from Adobe, but I use it so little that I would like a cheaper solution. Freeware would be great, shareware also.
Any suggestion grateful received.

No way to do that using the OS (although the entire pdf can be encrypted, once the password is applied the document is open for copying/printing).
However, the freeware PDFLab does allow password protection, the 'owner' pw allows full access, the 'user' pw can be restricted for printing, copying, etc:

This can also be done with Adobe's Create PDF Online, but the above is free, and works well.
Hope this helps...

Can't open a pdf document over two or more junction points

Hello,
if i open a pdf document that's stored in a directory and this directiry is accessable over two or mor junction points, it will be fail. The message say something abount access denied, but the security is set to full access. In other application (e.g. notepad.exe) i can access this document. Then i tested it with one junction point and it works.
So here is a szenario to test:
1) Put a pdf document at C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf
2) I can access C:\Folder1\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
3) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder2 to C:\Folder1
4) I can access C:\Folder2\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader
5) Create a Junction Point from C:\Folder3 to C:\Folder2
6) I can't access C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf with Acrobat Reader !!!
I can normaly access the file at C:\Folder3\PDF-Document.pdf but not with Acrobat Reader! In Notepad i can open the pdf document.
I tested the lasted version 11.0.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (Service Pack 1) with all normally available patches.
What's wrong? The original structure with the junction points are greater than the example above. But i've reduced it to this simple example.
Can anyone help?
Thanks und Greetings
Martin

It's possible it's a bug, or it may be a limitation in the software if it's a specialized kind of PDF that Reader for iOS doesn't support.
In any case, posting a link to the file would provide the engineers with some information to help fix the problem.
Keep in mind that the software for mobile devices has been in development a much shorter time than software for computers (Reader for Windows or Macintosh).

Can you protect a PDF document so it cannot be exploded or converted into lines in programs such as illustrator?

We create PDF documents from our architectural programs all the time. Currently these drawings can be imported into other programs such as illustrator and exploded and ungrouped into lines. There is no option for security from this architectural program, but I need a solution to protect the PDF file so that the PDF is a flat image and cannot be exploded or converted into lines. Is there a program or setting in the Adobe programs that can do this??? thanks.

You can set password security using Acrobat (not PDF pack), but it is of no value against a motivated thief, because some apps ignore it.
You can rasterise in Photoshop but this is a terrible thing to do: file size explodes, quality plummets.

How to creat pdf documents with printing restrictions in Aperture

Hi,
I wondered if it is possible to create a pdf document made up of 9-12 image per page contact sheets, to send to clients that restricts the client to open and view only i.e no printing allowed.
Photoshop allows this, however i would like to create /correct versions in aperture and then create a pdf [with the above printing restrictions applied, simply to save time.
the way i work in photoshop is to export approx a 500 to 1000 jpegs [ per client] in aperture to a folder which I then open with Bridge- create the contact sheets and then create the pdf document with printing restrictions applied.
is there any way for me to make this simpler, especially just using Aperture?

just been reading about terminal on another thread.... Spinning beach ball,,[page 2 of Aperture discussions].Apparently there is a command line explained there that can help speed up Aperture. I tried it but Had a problem when trying to type in my Password... It would not let me type anything....So I canceled the proceedure. [ knowing my luck I would cause some irrepairable damage to the machine].
Think I need to do a lot of reading up to get up to scratch with folk using this discussion Board!!!
With regards to the pdfauxinfo- is it complicated to get running, or does it run straiaght away in automator?

A4 PDF document it prints as A5

I have a new HP laptop running windows 7.
When I try to print an A4 PDF document it prints as A5 at one end of a landscape A4 sheet.
I have changed my printer drivers and tried an older version of reader.
I have tried various printer settings in reader, it makes no difference.
How can I get it to print my A4 document as A4?

Ask in the reader forum listed at the top of the Acrobat forum.

Set a preview document to print limited copies?

Hi,
Is it possible to set a preview (PDF) document to print only a certain number of copies after which it would then become locked (password protected)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dave

Yes, I take your point. Once the genie's out of the bottle...

Hi Dave,
I don't think so, I think you'd have to wrap it in some kind of Script or App that kept track of how many times it printed, but then how would you prevent them from copying/duplicating the whole thing???

How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

Kodak has a firmware upgrade to allow a version of air printing via a third party service, google docs I think. You can e-mail documents to your printer, or you can set up a hardwired printer as a local print server and send them to that.
Or you can look into an app. I have that same model of printer and use Print n Share and it works fine...slow but fine. I didn't go for the firmware cloud printing simply because I didn't want yet another online account.

That depends on your operating system and browser. On Windows, e.g. using Firefox, you right-click on the link, then select 'Save link as...'.
