Cannot print a PDF using the Oracle APEX print feature

Hi,
I work from a Wondows 7 workstation.
I have Adobe FlashPlayer 11 installaed on that workstation.
I can open a regular *.pdf file.
I have the following configuration for my Oracle APEX application:
Report Printing:
Print Server Protocol: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
Print Server Protocol: HTTP
Print Server Host Address: the IP address of my BI Publisher server
Print Server Port: 9704 (from installation of BI)
Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
On the page (that is an interactive report) that I want to print, it is configured with:
Download:
PDF option is checked.
When I click on Action -> Download -> PDF for this page, I get the error:
report_customers_region.pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
Does someone has an idea what the problem is and where I should investigate further?
Thanks and Kind Regards.

Well, is the PDF actualyl allowing to be printed? Check File --> Properties in Reader/ Acrobat.

Hello,
I see that you're having an issue with printing just one page from the E-print app.
Unfortunately, on an android device, you do not have the feature to select how many pages you want to print
Thanks!

I cannot print a PDF using the Adobe printer.

I have been using the PDF printer for years on the same system (Windows Vista Business using Acrobat v8), but now it won't create a PDF document from any program (Firefox browser, MS Outlook mail, MS Word, etc.). I can start the print process, and it gets to the Creating PDF screen then finishes but doesn't show the results and no document was created.
I just downloaded a new version 8.2.5 but that didn't resolve the problem, so I uninstalled all and reinstalled the program from a disk, then downloaded multiple updates until I'm back to the current v8.2.5. The Printing Preferences were reset to print to the default Output Folder, and I changed that back to my usual location, though I've had to change that in the several locations offered but it's still not saving it; could this be related to the non-print issue?
The Printer is called Adobe PDF, the Driver is called Adobe PDF Cconverter. I thought maybe the Driver got corrupted but I can't find the Drivers on this site. Please help!

Hey Daniel,
Have you tried repair Adobe Acrobat DC?
If no, then please repair the installation under Help menu.
This could also happen due to an Adobe Acrobat DC installation file corruption. To resolve this issue :-
Uninstall Adobe Acrobat DC using the Acrobat cleaner utility.
Restart your computer.
Re-install Acrobat Acrobat DC Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Pro DC.
Let me know if the issue persist.

I can not print an PDF using the Adobe PDF-Printer with Acrobat DC

Hi all,
i installed the Trial of Acrobat DC but it dont let me use the Adobe PDF-Printer well, because i cannot print from any third-party-application using Adobe PDF.
I tryed to print from within Word, Editor and Browser and selected the Adobe PDF-Printer as target, but at 75% both, the Application from which i print and the PDF-Creating-Wizzard are freezing (for hours) and i need to kill the procesed. No PDF-File is created. Same Problem with trying to print a Testfile from within the Windows-Printer-Dialogs.
Only Adobe DC cause this issue, if i use freeware like Bullzip PDF the files get created successfully, so i assume its not a generally problem with PDF on my system.
What could be the problem? (pls dont say its because of the trial, a trail should allow to test all features and Why should i buy a programm if it cannot do what a freeware can do?)

Forms 6i prints ugly when using the Forms print command from the menu

When we use the Oracle Forms print built-in to print the screen-shots, the print-out turns out to be ugly with lots of dots all over.
We are using Forms 6i (6.0.8.11.3) running on 9iAS on Windows 2000. The version of JInitiator we are using is 1.1.7.31. The forms open up in a separate frame.
The interesting thing is when we print from a Windows 2000 machine, the screen-prints are OK. But they are messed up when we use a windows 98/95 machine.
Any suggestions folks? Thanks

Any clues? I don't find anything in the Finder Help files to explain the Print command's use.
If in the Finder I pull down the "Help" menu and type "Print" in the "Search" box, I see one "Menu Items" entry and five "Help Topics". If I click on the one for "Printing a closed document", it shows information that discusses printing one document at a time. I don't know if it's possible to print more than one document that way.
Try this: Open the "Print & Fax" panel of System Preferences. Drag the printer's icon from the list on the left onto your Desktop. The result will be an icon that is an alias for the printer. Now try dragging several documents onto that icon.

I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

The appearance of the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window relies on a protocol called Bonjour. There have been quite a few users who upgraded to Yosemite only to find that their wifi printer is no longer visible. Until Apple resolves this issue you can add your printer using the LPD protocol. To do so you will need to determine the IP address being used by the MX890. This can be done via the touch panel under Device Settings > Network Settings.
Once you learn the IP address then on the Mac you can click to add the printer and select the IP icon. Here you can enter the IP address, set the Protocol to Line Printer Deamon and leave the Queue field blank. Then change the name to Canon MX890 and in the Use menu, browse for the Canon MX890 series driver. Then click Add to complete the printer creation.

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border?

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border? (2 pages per sheet preferred)
I usually print pdfs of books at a copy shop and they turn out fine.
The problem comes when I try to print the same books at home.
I use Adobe Acrobat X with the same settings: "multiple pages per sheet" (2x1) and page border. But the pages are slightly shrunken when printed. I think this is because my printer can't print as closely to the margins. Still, two pages should be able to fit on one sheet in actual size. Are there any layout settings that I can play with to find a better fit, besides portrait and landscape?
If I select page scaling "none," I'm able to print the pdf in actual size, one page per sheet. But there's no option to add a page border.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

Word 2010x64 to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI: Print shows box with ? inside.

System: Windows 7 SP1 X64
Adobe: Acrobat XI Pro
Office: Office 2010 x64
On multiple systems, I creating a document with standard text and font and then saved as or printed as a PDF. This creates a normal PDF with no visable issues. Problem arrises when printing the newly created PDF. All PDFs converted from Word print with question marks inside squares. There is no symbols evident on the Word document, created PDF or in print preview. All formatting Markups have been disabled in Word as well. Any ideas as to a work around or fix? See below images for example.
Word Document: Scan of Printed PDF:

We are having exactly the same issue as described above.
Did this ever get answered?
We are using:
Acrobat 11.0.3
Word 2010 (V 14.0.7015.1000 32-bit)
MS Office Home and Business 2010 SP2
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
The problem seems to occur only when, in Word, we use File - Print - Printer Adobe PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on a Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
If we print the file locally to a Toshiba Studio 2550c printer then it prints ok.
It also prints ok if we, in Word we use the Acrobat tab, click Create PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on the same Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
Any ideas?

Using Refcursor in Callable Statement without using the Oracle Drivers

Hello all,
Is there anyway to have a stored procedure (Oracle 8i) return a refcursor to my CallableStatement without using the Oracle Thin drivers (i'm now using jdbcodbc). I've tried registering my out parameter with every possible type i can think of...REF, JAVA_OBJECT, OTHER, etc. but with no luck.
Help!!!!

Certainly...I connect to the database using the
jdbcodbc driver and when i execute any of the code, i
get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-06550:
line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call
to 'PVISUAL_GET'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
It's bombing on the line that i attempt to register
OracleTypes.CURSOR. It works fine when i use the
oracle thin drivers, but i want to get this puppy
working with the JdbcOdbcDriver. Here's the code:
CallableStatement dbCall =
nt dbCall =
(CallableStatement)connection.prepareCall("{ call
PAK_VISUAL_GET.pvisual_get(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?) }");
dbCall.setString(1, sessionKey);
dbCall.setInt(2,
l.setInt(2, Integer.parseInt(storedVizID));
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,
arameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(4,
arameter(4, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(5,
arameter(5, OracleTypes.VARCHAR);
dbCall.registerOutParameter(6,
arameter(6, OracleTypes.NUMBER);
dbCall.execute();when you don't use oracle thin driver, you cannot use the OracleTypes. but, instead use the java.sql.Types values.Replace dbCall.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR); with
dbCall.registerOutParameter(3,java.sql.Types.OTHER). things should be fine.
