Color Report prints in Color from Viewer, Black & White when send to PDF

RE: Crystal Report sent to PDFBlaster
Hi,
I have a Crystal Report that contains a Color Logo. The particular problem that I am facing concerns sending the report to PDFBlaster.
When PDF BLaster is selected as the "PRinter" from the Crystal Viewer Print Button, the report is rendered in color. However if the PDFBlaster is selected from my Windows form, and SelectPRinter is used to print the report to PdfBlaster, the report is rendered in Black and White.
I noticed that this happens if my default printer is Black and White printer. IF the default printer is color , then the report is rendered in color regardless of whether it is printed from the Viewer or not.
Is there a setting that I can use to preserve the Report's properties? It seems to me that I am losing the "color" properties of the report when I use the ReportObject.SelectPrinter method.
Thanks in advance for help/advice.

Hello,
Moved to Legacy SDK forum.
You did not say what version of CR and I don't believe this is .NET either so I moved your post where the RDC is posted. In any event what you discovered is what likely you need to do. Add another printer and set the default option to print color. Then when your app selects the printer use that printer.
CR Engines do not have a specific API to set the Color option, you select/set it in code first.
Thank you
Don

    I have created a PDF and password protected it for view. However, when reading the PDF in Adobe Reader app on the iPad the commenting and annotation options are not available. Is there a way to allow commenting and annotation in the app while password protecting the document?

    Is there a setting that needs to be set to allow the annotation features?  I set password protection to open and then password for editing and set it to Any except page extraction, but it still did not give the annotation option

  • Black screen when opening in .pdf

    I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
    Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
    Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

    There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
    You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
    It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

  • Crystal report print directly without crystal viewer

    HI !
    In my addon i use Crystal Report. What would be the code i need to add if i want to print directly instead of having to go thru the crystal viewer.
    The crystal viewer gives me lots of problems with painting the screen when i move the form and it allways opens in the task bar. I cant seem to control the window sizes of the viewer either so unless it's easyer to fix those problem i need help to go and print direct without the viewer....
    Thanks for your time

  • Acrobat ignores my PowerPoint Print Layout Notes Pages view and gives me regular slides PDF.

    I have written a presentation in PowerPoint in the usual PowerPoint slide view.  Now I want to print the presentation as a manual or booklet.
    For this I go to the Print File Print page.
    I select Print Layout > Notes Pages and click Print.
    Acrobat creates a PDF only of the Full Page Slides. It ignores my change of print layout before creating the PDF.
    I have tried printing to file (PostScript  *prn). The prn is the slides view.
    I could maybe create an image of every slide, and try pdfing it that way? But the file is 100 (slides) long.  Anyone see an easier way of doing this?
    Thanks in advance for any input,

    Based on your description, I assume you are running on a Windows system with both Office and Acrobat installed.
    There are three ways of producing PDF from PowerPoint in this situation.
    The first method is to use the Save as Adobe PDF / PDFMaker solution that doesn't involve printing at all. It produces the highest quality PDF of all three methods, but the options for this allow the notes only to come out as PDF annotations in a separate,hide-able layer, not as the full Notes Pages format, regardless of the current settings for displaying the PowerPoint file on screen. You can see the annotations in comments pane in the comments tool. This isn't what you want.
    The second method is to use the Microsoft Save as function and specify PDF instead of a .PPT or .PPTX file. If you press Options, one of the options is to publish the Notes Pages instead of just the Slides. That will give you what you want, but Microsoft's generated PDF is somewhat wonky, often generating invalid PDF with improper font references and other problems too numerous to get into here.
    The third method is to print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance. The secret here is that under Settings, instead of selecting the default Print All Slides, you need to select Notes Pages. In other words, the print function ignores the view you currently have on the screen. The only problem with this approach is that the resultant PDF file is not nearly as high a quality as the PDF produced by Save as Adobe PDF, but it should probably be sufficient for your needs.
    That having been said, I will submit a request internally to “beef up” our Save as Adobe PDF to provide an option for the Notes Pages as an alternative to putting out the notes as annotations.
    Please advise if this solves your issue.

    no, not possible.
    Mask is a shape that either allow or block visibility.
    The content on the mask layer is define as whole, you can't
    pick.
    Whatever is that you don't want to show has to be removed.
    And no, you can't use video to be a mask.

  • Has anyone experienced an iphone 5 including content from an earlier text when sending a later text? Is there a fix ?

    When sending an SMS  text message my phone has occassionally included random sections of text taken from earlier messages . The message I have sent does not include this text in the stored message but the recipients does ? Is there a reason for this ? Is there a fix ?

    So you have checked all of the home screens and the folder does not exist? I've not witnessed hidden folders. Try a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone reboots, see if you can locate it. If not, then you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This should remove all apps from folders and reset your home screens.

  • Printing black &white when color cartridges are out of ink

    When color ink cartridges low but black new and full, why can't I print in black and white? All my cartridges were low or out of ink. I had a new black cartridge so replaced the empty one with it, thinking I could then print things in black and white, just not color. It's printing practically blank pages with some faint color on them, not even a smidge of black anywhere.

    I have the EXACT same issue, just have a different printer Photosmart C4580...I'd like to know the answer as to why with new black and white cartridge it keeps defauting back to color, even if I select under preference to print B&W...really frustrating.....!!!

  • SSRS 2008 R2 why Link Report Print format different from parent?

    Hi,
    I have created a link report based on Report A.
    In Report A I have set the print format to "LANDSCAPE", but the link report always appear in Portrait, any work around on this?
    If this is one of the SSRS bugs, is that anyway I can disable the print button in Report Server?
    Thanks

    Hi SAMSUNG,
    I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. As per my understanding, this scenario is caused by design.
    In Reporting Services, Report server administrators have the option of disabling the print feature by setting the report server system property EnableClientPrinting to false. But this property will disable client-side printing for all reports managed by
    the server. So if you want to hide the print icon in all reports, we can refer to the following document:

    Hope this helps.

  • HP Deskjet 5740 Color Inkjet Printer cutting off bottom half of letters when printing text

    My Printer is cutting off the bottom half of letters when printing documents.  I have tried all the troubleshooting options given on the computer and have changed out the ink cartriges as well.  I am hoping SOMEONE might have a solution to share. Thanks in advance!!!

    I have a user experiencing the same issue.  We have removed the drivers and reinstalled them but the problem persists.  Steps we have tried.... Completely uninstalled all the HP software and printer driversRebootedReinstalled drivers and printer softwareI have verified the printer has the latest firmware. It doesn't matter what program we are printing from, approximately the bottom 4th to 3rd of the photo is cut off.  I do have examples I can send that show the problem.   Our organization buys a lot of printers and it would suck to have to start ordering from a different vendor for future buys.  But if HP cannot fix this issue, we'll have to switch to another brand.  Since we cannot attach in here I have uploaded the examples.  The first is an XPS printout from a word 2013 document.  When it's printed it comes out as shown in the scan.pdf file.  (We printed it and then scanned the printout to a PDF).  It is pretty clear that the bottom of the picture is cut off. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Brian

  • Black window when downloading a pdf from a website

    Hi,
    Got 2 problems really.
    1. On my iMac, when I try to download a pdf from a website, I sometimes get a black window (background) with an Acrobat logo;
    2. When I tried to download Acrobat Reader 9 to fix this problem, the Apple installer starts toinstall and then says,"Adobe Reader 9 cannor be installed on this computer."
    Any ideas please?

    Mike,
    I downloaded the new PPC version and when I tried to open pdfs off of the internet again, got the same black window problem.
    I rebooted my machine and left it overnight as I had to go out - this morning, it opened website pdfs with no problem.
    Thanks very much for your help.
