Canon printer wont print PDF and Word files... sometimes.

I face a very special problem with my iMac and my Canon printer (Pixma MG5350): Since a few weeks, the printer wont print most PDF files correctly, the same with existing Word files. A blank or blurred sheet is coming out of the machine. But: When I create a brand new Word file and fill it with text, the printer prints it clean and neat. The same with the official Canon test prints – no troubles at all. I have also tried to sort out the problem with the help from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3147?viewlocale=de_DE, without success. Glad about every help!

My next suggestion would be to try an alternate driver to the Canon.
There is the Gutenprint v5.2.9 suite which is free and lists the MG5300 series as a supported model. You could download and install this driver suite and add the Gutenprint MG5300 driver and see if this gives you the same problem.

PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

If I buy Pages, will I be able I upload pdf and word files to websites?

Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function. That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

Just so I get the first part correct - this is what I understand you to want to do:Add column to Access db, say something like 'FILE_LINK'Have a field on your report that displays the value of the FILE_LINK data for either PDF or DOC's. To do this:Populate the Access db as you'd like, including the file extension.Add the database field to the report.Right-click the field and 'Format Field'.Select the 'A File' radio button.Select the Hyperlink tab.Select the 'X-2' button in the 'Hyperlink Information' area of that same tabbed window.Enter a formula for what you want to be shown. To show 'somefilename.pdf' on a shared drive, for example, enter this formula:"
x\" & {database.column}Click the 'X-2' icon with the green checkmark, near the top-left of the window. Fix any errors reported.Click 'Save & Close' and then 'Ok' on the 'Format Editor' window.Drop/drag the field where you'd like it and you should be good to go.

Linking to PDFs and Word Files

Hi,
I am using FM9 and working on a long document that comes with many external forms. The forms are in PDF and Word format. The FM files will be converted to pdf, and shipped to users in an interactive e-book format. My question is twofold:
1) How do I link to external Word and PDF froms so they open in a new window?
2) Is there a way to "package" the forms with the pdf deliverable so users cannot move them around and break the links?
Thanks for any insights and let me know if you need more information to answer.

To define a link to external files (non-PDFs), use the following hypertext marker:
message openfile form123.doc
Assuming that .doc is associated with Microsoft Word on the end-user system, Acrobat/Reader will launch Word with the target file, as a separate application (no need or possibility to specify a "new window" property for links to non-PDF files).
FrameMaker does not support the other features you asked about (new window property for cross-linked PDFs or embedded PDFs), so these will have to be handled in Acrobat as a a manual post-creation step.
If you need such functionality on a regular basis and wish to automate it so that the PDF has all features/settings needed without post-creation steps, it can be done through add-ons; for additional information and sample PDFs, see:

In a z-transaction, provision for attachment of JPEG, PDF and Word files.

Hi All,
I am creating a Z-transaction with create, change and display options. The user needs 2 to 3 fields where he/she can attach a google map or a pdf or a word file. Could anyone please suggest how I can go about this such that during creation it can be attached and then displayed in the display screen and a click on that could lead to opening of the map or the pdf file stored on the system. I would be obliged if a sample of the same could be demonstrated too.
Regards,
BP.

The eZReader on Nokia Store is not a demo version, it's the full version and free of charge to download. But it is a bit limited. I just gave it a try with few different .pdf files myself and it was not able to display e.g images at all, just text.
I know next to nothing about Java ME development, but it seems to me that you should be able to work around the memory constraints. It would probably not be pretty or easy, though.
If the memory constraints are really too severe, Nokia should consider writing a native Series 40 app for PDF and doc/docx reading. Both are pretty essential functions today, even for a budget phone.

i keep trying to print an adobe pdf-and today all of a sudden they wont print and instead opens a "save-as" MS word window prompting me to do that instead of simply printing

Look in the print menu (more than likely under "Advanced") and deselect the box that says "Print to file".

Are you sure PDF won't work? It should as what you're trying to do is pretty much what it is designed for (PDF - Portable Document Format). On a Mac anywone who receives the file should be able to see it in all its page layout glory by using the app Preview or Adobe Reader. Same on a PC, the file should be viewable as a PDF file using Adobe Reader and probably some other viewer (don't use PCs so not sure what other apps).
What application are you creating the file in and are you sure you're exporting it correctly in PDF format, fonts and images embedded?

How do I copy and paste text from a pdf file and paste it into a new pdf or word file?

I have a very large pdf file (500 pages) comprised of 200 letters. How do I copy individual letters (copy and paste sections of the file) and put them in a new pdf or word file?
Thank you

Hi drredwood,
When you open your PDF file a yellow bar will appear on the top of the screen.
Click on 'Enable All Features'.
Then you will be able to copy the content from your pdf and to paste in any of the file.

A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,
Allan

Is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

Nothing free no.
At best there is a subscription you can purchase for a relatively low monthly price ($7.50 per month) that can be accessed through Adobe Reader (which is free).

Acrobat pro 9 has stopped combining excel and word files

Hello
Acrobat 9 Pro crashes when combining word and excel. It is ok with merging PDFs
I have tried updating the software - it crashes saying install manager has stopped working
I have installed repaired and re installed - still can't combine
It will combine multiple PDF and photo files
Operating system is windows 7
Thanks in advance

When telling Acrobat to combine DOC/DOCX or XLS/XLSX files Acrobat must use its PDFMaker.
Acrobat asks the OS to open the file(s) native application (Word or Excel for your situation) and then has PDFMaker output a PDF.
Acrobat then combines these PDF files.
But, Acrobat 9 PDFMaker is not compatible in Windows 7.
You can use the Adobe PDF printer to output a PDF from the Word / Excel files then, as you noted, combine the PDFs.
Acrobat X provided a Windows 7 compatible PDFMaker.
However, Acrobat X has been replaced by Acrobat XI.
So, to do what you desire you'd need to upgrade to Acrobat XI.
The available upgrade paths are here:

Saving report as PDF and text file

Currently, I saved my report as PDF. It opens in Acrobat reader automatically when the report is executed. Is there a way for me to save it as PDF and as a text file at the same time? (without having to open the file in Acrobat reader and saving it)

You can add your PDF and TEXT file formats to a distribution list (Instead of GENERATE REPORT TO A FILE). To do this:
1. Go to your Object Navigator and highlight your report.
2. Right click on your report. Select Property Palette.
3. Select Distribution
4. You can add of of the formats that you want to print or save to the report to.
5. You will have to add Distribution Id (any number starting with 1) where you want the file to be saved (c:\my_reports\inventory.pdf), the type of file: PDF and how many copies you want: 2
6. Click OK after finishing...
To make it work ... You would highlight your report from your Object Navigator and then choose FILE-DISTRIBUTE and this will save it to all the files your specified and/or printer.
