Converting files to PDF, failed print jobs

Hi,
Every time I convert a file to PDF I then receive a failed print job in my print queue. Has anyone seen this before?

Yes, it's a known issue and simple to fix. See this blog post for instructions.

Convert xml to pdf and print on SAP printers

Hello All,
I've the following requirement:
PO layout (we are not using smartform or sapscript or adobe for printing. The PO template is an infopath file which generates XML and XSL) is in the form of XSL file and the PO data is in the form of XML (generated from ABAP itself). I merge this two files and apply call transformation to create a single XML file which has the layout information as well as the data.
Now the major challenge is to convert this XML file with the layout information and display it as a PDF in SAP GUI. Also, this PDF should be printable on SAP printers and not only local printers.
Asking you to help me as your time permits.
Regards
Aditya

Prints from Zebra printers can't be correctly displayed why?

SAP allows me to display previews of Zebra prints, but it only shows some numbers and symbols not the actual print as when we physically print it.
Mainly requesting: information about what configuration in SAP should I check or configure to fix this, how to have a virtual Zebra printer in SAP that allows to display Zebra prints in SAP Without needed to physically print them.
Help me to fix.
Regards
Venkat

Hi Venkatesan,
If you are able to see preview correctly and not getting it correct on physical printer then you need to change "device type" of your printer through tcode SPAD. Please take help of your basis team.
In most of the cases, specific device types are available based on printer make and model.

Define printer for Zebra

Hi Sapfans,
We created one form in PDF-based forms for print in Zebra printers. This form has ZPL code.
After we have created in SAP one output device for this printer with all steps of the note 685571, XDC file AZPL203.
Now, when I run this form for one laser printer, we don't have any problem, if I choose the output device for zebra, I have the below error message:
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - P(200101)
Message no. FPRUNX001
I have tested other forms with others printers, run without errors. So my ADS definitions and connections seems to be ok.
Can you help me on zebra output device???
All ideas/comments are welcome.
Ana Moreira

Hey
Have you solved the problem by now???
Please post any solution if you have one
Thanks ahead

Print text file to client side printer

Hi all,
I have a character mode report which will print to a client side dot matrix printer in 6i. After converted to 10g, we cannot print to the client side printer (because we don't want to map so many print queue from the AS).
So, I try to generate the report to a text file, then use webutil to transfer the txt file to the client PC, and then use Client_HOST to call the window PRINT command to print the text file to the client side printer.
I have test this is successful, however, when I try to do the same thing to a report with Vietnam character, then it is not.
The print request is sent to the printer, but the printer have no response.
But that file can be print successfully if I open in Notepad and then print manually.
I try to use window TYPE command and COPY command, but still have no luck.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for this....
Thanks!

The scan's to PDF file can not be printed

Hello,
Im have an Mac running on Mac Os X 10.7.3
I bought a HP officejet PRO 8500 A910.
The printer is installed and works fine if a want to print a document or a picture. The scanner also works.
BUT there is a problem.
When I scan a document in my HP scanner to a PDF file. This PDF file can not be printed. When I send it to other people's computer, the can also read it on screen, but not print.
The printer gives an error : Unable to covert PostScript file. (see screenshot).
Can anyone help me? I want to scan usable PDF documents that can be printed by anyone.
Thank you.
Erik
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The solution given was to convert to image. Then it is no longer a PDF! The printer worked fine until I upgraded to 10.9. Did the change in drivers eliminate the PPD? I can print PDF's from Preview just fine. Will HP be updating the driver to include the proper PPD? As an aid to troubleshooting, what files should be present in the Library for correct PDF printing? This is happening on both my 8500 and 8610.
Thanks

Converting Images to CMYK for Print Publication

When in my workflow should I be converting images to CMYK for print publication?
Currently, I shoot RAW photographs with my DSLR in Adobe RGB, import the images into Photoshop for manipulation and then convert the final, sized image to CMYK before placing it in my Indesign document. Before going to print, I convert my files to PDF using the [PDF/X-1a:2001] preset. I use a calibrated system with a profile set for my monitor.
Since many of my pictures have shades of green, I'm often disappointed with the conversion to CMYK because I lose saturation and brightness. Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a better way of preserving the quality of colour in my images when going to a commercial printer?

To see in InDesign what color shifts will occur, use View=>Proof Colors.
I would also recommend View=>Overprint Preview.
Yes there are color shifts when converting RGB to CMYK, but those are due to the fact that the gamut of CMYK is significantly less than AdobeRGB or even sRGB. The same color shifts going to CMYK will occur whether you convert the image in Photoshop or in InDesign during PDF export or at the RIP.
Keeping the color in ICC color managed RGB has the advantage that last minute changes can be made as to what CMYK printing conditions are used, i.e. all CMYK is not the same. Furthermore, if you convert RGB to CMYK early in the workflow, you lose the ability to maintain the color gamut for display of the PDF as well as for printing to high fidelity color devices, i.e., offset or digital (especially inkjet) devices that have extra colorants such as light cyan, light magenta, orange, and/or green to dramatically expand the gamut. Once you lose the gamut in your imagery via conversion to CMYK, you can't go back.

Converting files to SRGB

I am trying to convert some pictures into an sRGB color profile so that the printers will print them. I am using Photoshop CS6 extended. I used the File>Script>Image Processor to do the converting. The checkbox for convert profile to sRGB was selected. The files were output to a seperate directory. When I open the new files with Photoshop to see what color profile they are, it comes in as unassigned rgb. How do I actually get photoshop to embed the sRGB profile or is the unassigned the sRGB? I've changed my working profile to sRGB.
The 2nd question that I have is: In the books, articles, and websites most pro photographers suggest not using sRGB but changing to adobe RGB or pro photo RGB. Where do you print these at? The web sites that I see for printing request the documents in sRGB. What printing sites / companies / printers do you use with the pro or adobe RGB?
Thank you,
Ed

That should fix it.
Also, if you are going to start using Pro Photo or Adobe RGB as editing spaces, you may want to read up a bit on doing that. Since they are wider gamut than what you are used to, it might be best to work on a high bit file. Martin Evening has a good books for photographers using Photoshop.

- PDF sucks. It is designed for printing, and I (for one) don't want to kill more trees, and have no printer.
- This subject (convert file to PDF) has been discussed on the forums a bazillion times. Did you search the forums before asking your two (very closely related) questions?

Printout a pdf file in a specific printer.

Hi experts,
I am facing the following problem: I have a PDF file that i want to print without using a user interface to do it. I created a database table where I store the name of the PDF file that I need to print, the type is BDS_FILENA. Now at a certain hour I want to send the PDF file to be printed in a specific printer installed in the network. The idea is to create the code that sends out the files only by giving the file name.
I already have the PDF file uploaded in the system (is not a local file I want to print).
I know that using the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS I am able to config whether the IMMEDIATELY, NO_DIALOG, DEVICE (printer name), etc.
My question is, by calling this FM it will send the spool defined in the DATA_SET parameter to the printer??? how can I add the document to the spool (I am assuming that the DATA_SET is the spool where the documents are ready to be printed... Am I right?) By calling this FM, automatically will start the print due to I have defined the IMMEDIATELY parameter as 'X' right or do I have to call another FM to start the printing?
I have check these forums: [Thread 1|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=23697&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a], [Thread 2|Re: Query: Single Spool request to print multiple smart forms] but I am not too sure about if it is what I need.
Can you please guide me a little bit about it?
In advance, thanks a lot for your comments or observations.
Cheers,
Mauricio.-

Hi again,
Ok, I have read about the RSPO_*_SPOOLREQUEST FM, but in non of them I figure out what is the FM that I need to call to send the spool to the printer...
RSPO_OPEN_... will return the spool number. that spool number I will need to pass as SPOOL_REQUEST_ID parameter in the RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST right?
I understood that I will have to convert the PDF into a spool, i don't know yet how to do it... but it is something that seems to be easy, but the printer side I cannot understand. Using those calls I am able to convert the PDF from hte XSTRING type to a spool. but after the conversion, how do I send to document to the printer?? I don't need to download it to a local computer, i just need to printout the PDF or the data inside the PDF with all the layout (Title, headers, footers, etc.)
In advance, thanks again.

After Mountain Lion, iMac goes to sleep even while Quicktime is converting files

Hello!
After Mountian Lion, I have had to change my Energy setting to NEVER put the computer to sleep. iMac has been going to sleep even while it is converting files. This never happened with the previous OSX.
Does anyone know why it goes to sleep even when tasks are being performed? It's very annoying.
Thanks!

Same problem here on a Mid 2007 Core 2 Duo -- set to "never" but keeps dozing off.
Extra lousy since it's also the print and media server.

Converting files to mac recognizable?

hi all,
new user here. a couple of quick questions.
1. is there a user manual document that i can print pages out of? i accessed the help from adobe air but i cannot find a way to print and copy paste results in irrevocably messed up formatting.
2. i moved to mac about four years ago and am in the last throes of organizing my data. is there a way to easily convert .mov, .avi., .cel, or .mp4 files to mac recognizable formats (i know in a couple of cases the file itself must be corrupted and it is not an issue of the file format).
3. can anyone help me understand a good way to /store/ my various files in a database? right now i have some in aperture but since i have pdf and mov and mp4 and all manner of slideshows/videos this is a bit perplexing and hard to manage.
thanks in advance and apologies if these questions are in the wrong place or too "newbie".

hi todd.
i think you are focusing on semantics to a point that is unhelpful to me as a new user. i can't tell if this is just an inability to see the real intent of the question (which seems obvious to me but i am a new user so it may not be) or if it is deliberate. If you snip portions of my questions and pull them out of the context of the OP it is going to be difficult for me to arrive at a good solution (which is why i am posting).
i deal with /very/ complicated files all the time and it is obvious that one uses software in most cases to view and/or use the files. currently i run two Mac OS's, two native Windows OS's and four virtual machines. it is obvious that it is not the OS that is opening the files. however, tools such as Quick Look (Mac OS) are very helpful for seeing files without opening them (and this is only available on Mac OS), then there are software tools such as Aperture (which is Mac Only as far as I know) and various Adobe products (which function slightly different on different OS's but again as far as i know).
the question i am posting is WHAT software do folks use to view their files on Mac OS, WHAT software to they use to convert their files to "mac friendly" formats (and if this works well) and WHAT format do they convert files to (or if they deliberately do not convert due to loss of some kind of data or performance issues) and IF they are using AME to do the conversion.
this seems like a pretty straightforward question and other than suggest i read read the user manual (i'm waiting for a "RTFM"...) or to post elsewhere i am having a hard time finding any good information in your responses. maybe i am not asking questions directly enough or you are a pro level user and you are having trouble understanding newbie questions, i am not sure.
what i am trying to do is to avoid reading up on Codex and having all manner of conversion software on my Mac or five different software programs loaded onto my computer to read all the various file types. the reason i have to do this is because AVI (for instance) is a PC based format that only works well on PC AFAIK. i would also very much like to avoid using FInder to store all this data so that it is organized in a way i can be productive. all of this should be pretty hard to misinterpret. i mean, it is no secret that reading video files created on a PC is a bit of a mess on the Mac is it?
when you turn around my post and instead ask four questions of your own - starting with the directive that i first answer "1. what application am i using to view video files?" i think you are missing the point of the question. i am /storing/ mov and m4v videos in Aperture because this is the program that CREATED them and i am using whatever program opens (or tries to open the files when i click on one of the seven file formats). i am doing this because these file formats came over from a PC and because they are just sitting in finder in folders named according to the FILE TYPE. the folders are named according to file type because they are not organized anywhere and i can't get a streamlined workflow to open them and store them.
THIS is why i asked you if you could give me a quick explanation of what to do when i try to open a file and it - for instance - opens in AME. i am in the AME forum and as a new user i simply get a LIST OF FILES in this software which i never used before and i just want to get them out - or converted - so i can move forward with other tasks. i am not even sure this software is going to be useful to me other than converting one file format to another. pointing me to a 100+ page manual when i don't even know the term that the software uses to do this task or what task i am trying to accomplish (or even why the file was opened in this software!!) seems a tad passive-aggressive for my taste and it certainly does not help me get off the blocks with moving forward with Adobe Suite Products...
i don't want to sound ungrateful for an honest attempt at helping a new user but can you directly answer one of the questions and not try and rephrase what you think i should be asking? alternatively, if you are genuinely confused by the question (again i am a new user) can you ask me to clarify instead of telling me what you think i should be asking...? i ALWAYS find this works better when i am the OP.

Converting RGB to CMYK for print causes darkening and loss of detail on page.

I work in CS5 to create illustrations in a very broad range of colors. I use filters and adjustment layers to achieve the desired effects, so my images feature gradients and high contrast design. I usually would work only for the web, so I never had a need to convert my images into a CMYK workspace. I have started making prints of some of my work, and I have noticed that I am losing not only detail, but vibrancy as well. A lot of the darker areas are smudging together, and some of the areas with light contrasted against dark look less intelligible than when I created it on screen.
My first attempt at printing was at a Staples, which could be part of the problem. I had TIFF and JPEG files saved as CMYK. The TIFF files looked awful, but the JPEG had slightly more clarity in the print. One of my TIFF files displayed on the Staples computer as being completely stretched out and grayscale, though it looked fine on my own device.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I am attempting to learn all that I can about this subject. Thanks!

DOn't bither with CMYK for any form if " home printing". Their printers don't work any different from your own inkjet and exoect images to directly come from digital cameras etc. And are calibrated accordingly. Otherwise you have a lot of reading to do on color management, color calibration, gamut etc.

Text converted to lines will not print

I have a AICS3 document with some text. The font acts a little funny, but it has been working. It shows up fine in my document, but it will not print. I conert it to lines, it shows up in my document, but it still won't print. I place it in an ID file, export it as a PDF. The text shows up in ID, but will not print. It shows up when I open the PDF in Acrobat Reader, but not in Acrobat. In both cases, the text (that has been long converted to outlines) does not print. Can anyone help? Since the text has been converted to outlines is it not just a group of compound paths? I even changed the fill with no luck. In general, I am very tired of the way we users are treated like criminals when it comes to fonts--regardless if that is the problem here. I mean, what good is a font if you can't print it? Anyway, I digress. Any ideas from anyone? I'd really like to get this thing printed.
Thanks,

"Overprint fill" is useful in a situation such as 100K text printing over solid yellow. The setting will prevent the yellow from being knocked out behind the black, causing unnecessary registration problems.
White text is created by lack of ink, so preventing the background objects from being knocked out causes the white objects to disappear. Only if you were printing opaque white ink over a color, such as in screen printing, would that ever be used, and probably not even then.
Hopefully an expert will come along with a more detailed and accurate explanation.
