Cannot change printer properties when printing PDF files in IE8

Whenever I try to print a PDF file displayed within IE8,  I cannot change the printer properties from the print dialogue box.  the properties button appears as if it as if it is active because it visually confirma a click; however no properties dialogue box appears.  printing html from IE8 works fine.
If I save the PDF to desktop and print from there, I can change properties fine. 
Running Win7/64; IE8 (32 bit version).  Another PC in the household, also running Win7/64 and IE8/32 does not exhibit this problem.
Printer is Officejet 6500 E709a connected to local workgroup via ethernet cable; I have uninstalled via add remove programs and reinstalled the printer software from the HP CD.  It did not help.

I cannot access 'properties' for my hp1536dnf mfp.

  • PDF Bookmarks - Change Default Width When Creating PDF File from InDesign

    When creating a PDF file (from Indesign CS4) I automatically create the PDF bookmarks based on the InDesign document's Table of Contents.
    But by default the width in the bookmarks is always set at "Fit Page".
    Is there a way to change the default to "Fit Width" in Indesign before the PDF is created?
    It's too much trouble to change every bookmark in the PDF after it's created.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    Thanks, Steve. I have actually previously done what "fogharty" suggests and it does work if I want to set the pages to "fit width" or a variety of other options. However, none of the options is inherit zoom which is what I, and many other from the sound of the thread, need and want. We want to respect our end users--not dictate how they must view our PDFs. Hopefully, Adobe will listen and make this option available soon.

  • Cannot change the print margins when printing out my spreadsheet.  Tried clicking on format and then Document but when I enter a number I always get " invalid number".

         I cannot change the margins when printing out my spreadsheet.  I clicked on the format then on document and got a entry box.  But everytime I try entering a number to change the left margin ( tried .5 ) I get an " invalid number " response.  I can print out the spreadsheet but always get a message telling me the margins may be too small and data may be clipped.  Data doesn't get clipped but left part of the spreadsheet is right at the left side of the paper.  Want to change the margin so I don't get that message.

    Naming the spreadsheet app would do wonders for getting an answer.

  • Cannot Print PDF File from IE8 Beta 2

    I recently installed Adobe Reader 9 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 under Vista 32-bit. When a PDF file appears under IE8, I cannot print the file. The print command shows only a blank page. If I save the PDF file, open Adobe Reader 9 and open this PDF file, I can print the file correctly. Please advise if you have the same issue and possible fixes?
    Thank you...

    I have a similar problem. I have Adobe Reader 9 and IE8 Beta 2 on Vista Ultimate, and other pdf drivers as well. When I try to print to any pdf driver in IE8 B2 I get "Access Denied" message box, then when I click OK I guest a script error on line 2037, Char 1, unspecified error, code 0, URL: res//ieframe.dll/preview.js. It occurs with all the pdf print drivers I have including ScanSoft PDFCreate, Quicken PDF printer, and DocuCom PDF printer. If I do print preview and then print, there is no response.
    Debugging java scripts is more than I want to get into. Any ideas?

    There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
    By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

  • Need to print Xcelsius dashboard to pdf file

    I have a customer that wants to be able to print a displayed dashboard to a pdf file.  Does anyone know if there are custom components that can do this or be created to do this? We have suggested they install a print to pdf utility as a selectable printer but they don't want to do that.  When a dashboard is displayed they want to be able to print directly to a pdf file.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thanks Pizzaman,
    I will mention this to the team. I don't think our customer would want it that way but who knows.  Currently they have a Flex framework with our dashboards inside of their framework. They have a print to pdf button for their flex scorecard and feel it should be easy enough for us to create the same thing in our dashboards. We don't use flex in our environment. Their flex stuff is on their servers and our dashboards are on our servers.  We may be moving everything to our side of the house soon so a lot of things might change. When I tried to test our dashboards as exported to pdf I ran into security problems with some Adobe parts of the whole thing. We have a lot of Adobe stuff locked down because of security concerns. Being a defense contractor that's a way of life.

  • Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing a PDF

    Anyone know why Adobe X & Adobe XI Crashes my shared network printer driver when printing on a domain, this only happens when I print a PDF.
    I then have to restart the print spooler to get my printouts sent to the printer. I am using a Windows 7 32 & 64 bit environment on a domain. Users who aren't on the domain experience no issues and their printer drivers remain online and not grayed out.
    When I print a PDF using Foxit Reader or Nitro PDF then all works fine, the moment I open a PDF using Adobe Reader X or XI then the shared network printer driver bombs out and I am back restarting the print spooler. If we roll back to Adobe 9 then we dont have any issues.
    When you create a local printer driver all works fine, the problem is we don't encourage local printer drivers due to security.
    We use Ricoh printer drivers, the MPC5501 PCL5C, driver version 1.2.0.0 with PDK version 12.65. We have also tried the PCL6 printer driver and Universal printer driver. All give the same result. The printer uses Winiprint Print processor using RAW as the default data type.
    We have contacted Adobe Global Support who advised that they cannot assist with this query as this is on a Domain environment and we have to contact our IT Department.
    We would really appreciate some professional help here to get a fix for this issue in order to address potential future occurance's

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 - Print certain webpage as PDF file but some of its contents were corrupted

    Print certain webpage as PDF file but some of its contents were corrupted as non-readable alphanumeric.
    Preview of the PDF file shown OK but when printed, its contents were corrupted.
    Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional reinstalled but problem persists.

    It is Acrobat printing to a PDF file using Acrobat 9 Professional because I have no printer attached.
    The preview before printing showed every words OK but when printed to the PDF file, some alphabets and numerics were corrupted and the words were NOT readable.

  • Printing Word document as pdf files whilst  retaining active internal links

    Hi,
    I have a Word file (Word 2004 for Mac Version 11.3.5) with active links to various sections within the document.
    However, when I print this as a pdf file all the links become inactive. Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this?
    Kind regards,
    Damon

    I tested this problem and got some interesting results. First of all, I created a document in Word 2004 (11.3.5) with two links, one to an external web site and the other to another Word document on my Mac. I then printed the file to pdf and opened the doc in Preview. Neither links were active, although as you have seen they look like a hyperlink. Opening the same document in Acrobat 8, the external link works but the internal link is still not active.
    Next, I printed the Word document via the Adobe PDF 8.0 driver. The same result occured as above. The external link was active in Acrobat but not Preview, while the internal link was no good for either application.
    I did some searching. Mactopia has no mention of this problem. There is a posting on Macosxhints with the same problem, but no fix. So unless someone else out there has an answer you may be out of luck for your internal link...

  • Change paper size when printing

    How to change paper size when printing pdf? No option for paper size appear.

    That is a feature of AirPrint. If you do a Google search on "AirPrint paper size" you'll find documentation from major printer manufacturers. For example, this is copied from some HP documentation:
    What paper and media sizes are supported? 
    With AirPrint, paper and photo media sizes are automatically selected depending on the application you are using on your Apple device, your HP ePrint printer, and the region in which you are using AirPrint. You do not have the option to select different paper sizes.
    For example, from Apple’s Photo application, if the HP ePrint printer has a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses 4 x 6 inch photo media as the default paper size. If the printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, AirPrint uses letter-size paper. If you are printing from Apple’s Safaribrowser, letter-size paper is the default paper size in the US region, and A4 is the default paper size in Europe.
    AirPrint supports the following paper and media sizes:
    Letter
    Legal
    A4
    4 x 6 in photo paper
    A6 photo paper

  • Printing a package of PDF files double sided

    I am printing a package of PDF files that changes based on how questions are answered, they print double-sided.  I want certain pages to not print on the back of another.  Is there any way to dynamically insert page breaks dependent on the forms included in the package?  Thanks,

    Hi,
    You might experiment with a page or two first.
    1.Choose File > Print.
    2.From the Subset pop-up menu in the Print Range area, select Even Pages Only.
    3.Click OK or Print.
    4.If the total number of pages is odd, add a blank sheet so the final odd page has a sheet to print on.
    5.Put the stack of printed paper back into the supply (source) paper tray so that the unprinted sides print. Point the top of the pages toward the printer. Make sure that the edges of the paper stack are square.
    6.Choose File > Print and select Odd Pages Only from the Subset menu.
    7.Select the Reverse Pages option. In this scenario, the Reverse pages option ensures that the page sequence is correct.
    8.Click OK or Print.

    That choice is not made by Adobe, but your browser, of which you give no details. 64-bit browsers cannot open PDF files, as the Adobe Reader plugin is a 32-bit app.
