Can't get postscript files to print properly

I am using Windows XP Pro, Indesign CS2. I upgraded to Acrbat Professional 9. When I upgraded I lost the Distiller printer in my print setting. When I go to print a postscript file, under the ppd tab normally Distiller is listed there. It's not there. Because of this, my files are not printing properly. How do I get Distiller to show up in the ppd box in Indesign?

I've been exporting to PDF for newspaper ads for years and never heard of a problem, but if your company uses older equipment I can understand why they might want to distill in order to be sure that there is no transparency.
That aside, It does look as if the behavior has changed in CS4. I no longer see any PPD choices for PS FIle, either, and I do in earlier versions. I have no idea if this is by design, or if it's a bug, but you can report it at Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
In the meantime, if you set your desired joboptions as the default in Distiller, instead of choosing Postscript File from the list of printers you should be able to pick Adobe PDF and make the postscript and invoke the distiller all in one step.

  • How can I get my files to print? when i go to the print page they show up a black page .

    I seem to be having trouble getting downlaoded pdfs to print off. I can view them and they look ok but then i go to the print setup and all that shows is a black page. If i try to open the saved file from the desktop it say the file is damaged or corrupt . this doesnt always happen. sometimes it's fine, so idont know what is wrong, the file , my printer , adobe reader?? can anyone help?

    HI thanks for that Pat, but doesn't seemed to have fixed it . I dont have that option on my print set up.
    this is message i get when i try to open the file.     Adobe Reader could not open 'calleen-2014-a4-form.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
    when i am viewing the document online i dont have any access to adobe reader menus or bar at the top, then i go to print from safari browser and then the page in the print box is black , no image. Any other suggestions . thanks

    Thanks Spencer.
    I downloaded it, etc. and that didn't work. 
    It actually seems to work the same way as before I downloaded that driver, meaning, it prints but leaves it in the "# Document Pending" status.
    Since the wireless HP print server isn't working (No connectMgr.exe file) there's no connection and therefore the doc won't print.
    RE: Print/Server software out of date.  The software was working for many months after originally installing it on this laptop.  Then it just stopped.  Now it can't find the .exe file and that's odd.  
    If I could find that file I could just save it where it needed to be and I'd be good to go.
    Thanks for the help.
    Going to uninstall and reinstall again, just for fun.  I'll report back.

  • How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in?

    How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in? This application must be in Lab View 8.

    you mean something like this (see below)?
    Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc.  But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
    Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..

  • How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services= gui

    Hi Experts,
    How can i get a file header using this method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
    Thanks
    Basu

    Hi,
    You can use the FM - GUI_DOWNLOAD to specify the headers. It can be done in the following manner -
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head, "Structure for header
                 h(10) TYPE c,
                 END OF ty_head.
    DATA: it_head  TYPE TABLE OF ty_head WITH HEADER LINE.
    "Adding header details
    it_head-h = 'Field1'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field2'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field3'.
    APPEND it_head.
    it_head-h = 'Field4'.
    APPEND it_head.
    CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
        filename                        = p_file
       filetype                        = 'ASC'
       write_field_separator           = 'X'
       header                          = '00'  "<= note this
      TABLES
        data_tab                        = it_tab
       fieldnames                      = it_head[] "<= Pass your header table here
    EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS                          = 1.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script?

    Can you get the file name of the current executing TSQL script? I wrote entries to a generic log file and would like to include the script name.

    Okay, So What you can do is
    1. Read get the version from your  database and redirect it to a text file(SQLCMD outout can be directed to text file using -o option or windows redirection operator >)
    2. Now you can read this value from the text file either inside a batch file or a powershell script and decide what operations you can do.
