Crash occurs when selecting print,pdf as well?

Any ideas as to why crashes occurs when I hit print from file or from a pdf print symbol?
All was working okay last week.

Do you have a local Apple Store or somebody locally that can assist you with this system?
Your Mac is easily old enough to be encountering hardware problems with your disks. Old disks can and do fail, and your Mac is probably at least eight years old; more than old enough to be seeing disk failures. I'd get a backup or two of your disk made onto external disks, and then look to upgrade and patch as described in this reply and in the earlier reply. Preserve your data. That disk-to-disk backup can be created with Disk Utility, or with whatever backup tool(s) you're using.
Once you have your external backup(s), Disk Utility has a repair function, which becomes available once you verify the disk. If the online disk repair can't complete the repairs, then Disk Utility will tell you that you that you need to shut down and boot your installer DVD and use the version of Disk Utility available from the installer's Utilities menu; that's the second screen of the installer, IIRC. (It's been several years since I've run 10.4, so I'm not entirely certain about that. You do NOT want to commence the software installation that's available with that DVD. That would be bad.)
After the repair, use Software Update ( > Software Update...) and upgrade to OS X 10.4.11; to the most current 10.4 version. That might resolve this, if it's an isolated corruption. (If the disk is failing, well, the disk is failing.)
As a guess, you're probably also headed toward needing some local help, and a hardware swap or hardware upgrade, too.
OS X 10.4 is also known as Tiger and the OS X 10.4.1 release is almost eight years old, and that particular OS X version also means your Mac system is based on a PPC processor and not on an Intel processor.
PPC-based hardware cannot be upgraded past version 10.5; past Leopard. Snow Leopard 10.6 does not support PPC systems.

Elements 13 crashes when selecting Print

Elements13 crashes when selecting Print from the File menu.
Rebuilding the Preferences file will bring the Print menus back, but only temporarily.
No error message, Windows advises the program must be shut down.
Win 7, 16GB RAM, Elements 6 on the same computer works fine.

Hi ,
You are going through File menu > Print or File menu > Order Prints .
Meanwhile go to Edit menu > Preferences >> Adobe partner services .

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and it is able to read the PDFs. Preview declares that "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." and crashes. It is less than graceful. I also have noticed that every time it crashes, I lose 40MB of disk space.
Other than individually marking "bad" files as acrobat files are there any solutions to this poor behavior by preview.
I also need to know how to recover the disk space. I have no idea where the files are being created. I checked /cores, but no joy.
Powerbook G4 12" 1.5GHz 1.25GB Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi,
Try deleting the Preview and Sidebar preference files.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Preview.plist and the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.

After Effects error: crash occured when invoking...

I get this error: After Effects error: crash occured when invoking rendering plugin "AE_openGL" when I have videos on the timeline and I am scrolling through them.
I run Windows Prof 7, 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920 Multi-core (4 total), 12 GBs Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT (2x). My system is fast. I saw one suggestion to turn off openGL. How should I set up my preferences to avoid this?
Thanks.

OpenGL should work even with SLI off. Yes, you lose some performance, but for AE's limited use of these features, it should be neglectible. If for some reason you still get crashes, then you may need to push a few otehr knobs and levers in the driver settings or install a new7 different driver right away. i just cannot offer you a blanket solution that would work from a distance. OpenGL settings are delicate, so you'll have to invest some time in your own experimentation...

Being that it failing in Windows module ntdll.dll when you try to print make sure that you has the latest Printer drivers install for your printer. Make sure your printer setting are proper. Try printing to a different printer or windows Microsoft XPS Document Writer.

FrameMaker crashes when selecting print book file

I have recenctly update to TCS4. FrameMaker crashes when I select Print Book but will produce a PDF is I select Save As PDF.
Anyone else experiencing this and have a resolution?

While I agree that this should not occur, you've said you can produce a PDF...
Is there a reason you don't want to print from the PDF?
Many long-time Framers are so used to doing this that we don't even use the Print dialog anymore...
That said, if you want to track down the culprit, try the excellent suggestions above:
set printer to Adobe PDF
MIF wash
Create a new book, and open all files
and add 2 more to the list:
Ensure that all the alerts are checked in Edit > Preferences > Global > Alerts
Update your book and address any missing resource messages

Cs5 InDesign crashing when exporting print pdf and markup file?

We just did our upgrade yesterday from cs4 to cs5. Two things that I have discovered so far that I haven’t been able to figure out.
I need to create a pdf from a file...I go to export — print pdf — this QUITS (if I do the interactive pdf it works okay but I need a print ready one. I had to print a postscript file — then distill it in acrobat — so far, knock on wood that works but is time consuming.
I tried to export a — InDesign MarkUp file (imdl), the new interchange to go from 5 to 4 — I was thinking okay...I will just take the cs5 file back to cs4 and make the pdf there but when making the imdl file to open in cs4 I also crash.
any help would be appreciated!

I had a major problem with exporting CS5 Indesign interactive PDF doc (270pgs) it would crash reasonbly consistently, other times behave OK? After many hours reading forums, and Adobe help desk I found my own work-around which I want to share (as I couldn't believe it was so simple and worked!)
OK..so the doc has navigation buttons and hyperlinks all the way through....I Exported half the doc. Then the other half. Then I combined in Acrobat.
There it is....simple and boy am I happy now!!

Applications Crashing when selecting Printer

I currently support 6 G5 Macs running 10.4.6 and have an issue with one of them. Each and every time I select a specific printer within the print dialogue box the entire application crashes.
This printer is actually a queue using the "HP Color LaserJet 5550 v3010.107" ppd. This same ppd is also being used for another printer to print direct to that HP 5550 printer. How is it possible that one works as expected and the the other crashes and only happening on 1 of 6 Macs that are set up identical?
Right now I'm at a loss. I know my drivers are current and my preference files are cleaned up. I'm just about at my last resort, in completely reinstallng system software.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, eriahoy. Welcome to the Discussions.
See "Application quits when you print to a shared printer (Mac OS X 10.2 or later)." It usually indicates that the affected Mac has a different version of the printer drive than the Mac sharing the printer.
If that does not help, you may want to discuss the issue with HP support.
Good luck!

Photoshop CS5 crashes when selecting print settings in print dialog box

I work on a Mac Pro desktop with OS 10.6.4. Photoshop CS5 crashes every time I try to select "print settings" in the print dialog box. I work in a large office and our networked color printer is a Konica Minolta bizhub C451. In fact, if I hit "print" it will crash whether or not I hit "print settings" first. In CS4, there was a separate menu item that allowed you to change printer settings before going into the print dialog box. That choice is gone now, you have to select it through the print dialog box.
This is the only way I can print out color proofs for my clients. Unfortunately, I do not have administrator rights to any printer (our office has about 100 people, only IT staff can fiddle with that). What can I do to get this solved?

I think I have fixed it, though I'm not sure why this worked.
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.
Now, it works.
Thanks all for the helpful advice!

After upgrading to Lion, preview will not print any documents. When selecting "Print" it just hangs with no show of the printing menu.

After upgrading to LION, preview refuses to print out documents to our Ricoh and Canon printers. All other apps work fine with no problems.
Does anyone have similar experience or an answer to resolving this problems.

I had the same problem when attempting to print to my Canon ImageCLASS multifunction laser printer. Canon have acknowledged the problem by saying:
"Cannot print from Preview or TextEdit; causes applications to crash. For PDF documents, Canon recommends that the free version of Acrobat Reader is used."
They go on to say:
"An updated driver for each model will be released as a permanent solution. The driver will be an official driver to support Mac OS X 10.7. The target release schedule is approximately three months after Lion is officially released."
Source:

I've followed their advice and have been using Adobe Reader for viewing and printing PDFs. I'll revert back to the Preview app once the updated drivers become available.

Image aliasing when exporting print PDF at 300 ppi (bicubic downsampling)

Hello,
i am trying to describe a problem which persists since version CS3 of InDesign. It's about aliased edges in images in a certain angle; occuring when exporting the brochure as PDF file (at 300 ppi). The placed images are always at a higher quality than needed (for example 780 ppi effective). The aliasing is not there when opening the original image files in photoshop (viewing at 100%).
The PDF export settings are:
- Compression: Bicubic downsampling to300 ppi for images above 350 ppi (for color images, grayscale images and monochrome images)
- Crop Image data to frames
- Marks: Crop Marks and Page Information
- Output: No Color Conversion
- Advanced: Transparency Flattener: High Resolution
- Compatibility: Acrobat 4 (PDF 1.3)
- PDF /X-3:2002
Below are two screenshots
- The left one was the original image, downsampled to 216 mm in width using automatic bicubic downsampling
- The right one is the result when exporting a InDesign Document with the same width to a PDF with the mentioned settings
Downsampled in Photoshop CS6 to 216 mm width
Exported from InDesign CS6 with mentioned settings
I have no clue what happens here, but it looks like the internal downsampling of InDesign CS6 is not very good.
When i write a PostScript file of the brochure and put it in Distiller (with the same PDF Preset as above), the image looks like the one made with Photoshop. So this problem has to lie somwhere deep in InDesign or it's settings.
Anybody with similar experiences?

Something about your test looks off. The export from ID and export from PS PDFs are both zoomed at 1200%, but the export from ID vrsion is 90% smaller.
Yeah I noticed that I actually had the image in InDesign scaled @ 90%, so the effective ppi was around 650. I get the same jagged results when I use anything other than a 300 or 600 effective ppi. Whereas if I use a 650ppi image in Photoshop and export to PDF, it downsamples smoothly.
Rob Day wrote:
The diagonal lines in your test are 1 pixel so at 300ppi to an offset press at 150lpi, the lines would be less than a halftone dot so I'm pretty sure you would need a loupe to see any difference. Maybe with a stochastic screen there would be better resolution but still difficult to see. So if the printing is that good I would just export without down sampling. With disk space running at 15 cents a gigabyte there's not much to gain with a downsample.
It becomes noticeable with some images more than others, but I'm printing a lot of images of buildings and drawings with sharp lines that converge to a point, or are distinguishable in the full size image but indistinguishable when downsampled. This can introduce distracting patterns when they aren't downsampled smoothly, something like this:
Unfortunately the printers near me aren't very good, so I'm having things printed online, and this particular printer (blurb.com - for a small job) won't accept large PDFs without compressed/downsampled images :/ I'm making 300dpi versions of the really crucial images for the time being, but I'm hoping there is a better solution!
The other issue is exporting the PDF for use on the web, either as a download or on an online PDF viewer like issuu.com. The two PDFs on the right side of my test look much better in these situations. Is there any disadvantage to using Distiller to make my PDFs for this purpose using the Device Independent setting? I don't have any special interactive elements.

Why does a font substitution occur when I print a webpage? How can I fix it?

When I print a webpage, a font substitution occurs. This happens no matter what printer I send the document to. It did not occur in previous versions of Firefox.

Gabe,
It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

Adobe Photoshop crashing when selecting print preferences

Hi There,
It seems that within the past 2 days in our company we have had users complain that Adobe Photoshop is crashing when they go to print and print preferences. They say a window appears and says "Photoshop has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution".
Has anybody else experienced this over the past couple days? It was working on all computers until recently.
The computers are a mostly Windows 8 computers with 1 Windows 7.

try resetting preferences by holding down shift-ctrl-alt while starting ps. if done correctly a confirmation dialog with appear.
if that fails, this worked for someone else,
System Preferences>Print & Fax. Selected the Konica Minolta printer (the B/W printer was working fine). Changed the name. Still didn't fix it. Went back selected my newly named Konica Minolta then "Open Print Queue" (like Dave said)>print settings. Change the driver to "Generic Postscript printer." I could print, but only on letter-size paper, no other options available (need tabloid). Went back to system preferences>print & fax>Konica Minolta2>open print queue>drivers then I reselected the updated printer drivers--the same one that hasn't been working.
