CSS for Print Media - What to do with a FORM?

I'm dealing with creating an HTML page for use in a web-based
software. The user wants to be able to use a print-only stylesheet
when sending this HTML <form> page to the printer. I know I
can convert scrolling textareas and input boxes into flat,
borderless text with ease in the CSS, but what about SELECT
dropdowns and checkboxes? Is there any way to turn these form
elements into flattened text output when sending the page to the
printer?

Can you imagine what a state list or country list would do to
the format of
your printed form? The only way I can think of to get what
you might use
would be to have the print stylesheet to display:none the
<select> tags and
correspondingly display:block some 'mock' input fields for
this data.

Alternative style-sheet (CSS) for printing

Hi folks.
Anybody knows if it is possible to tell VisualComposer to use a different CSS for printing. That's a common trick to getter printer friendly output. Take a look on: http://webdesign.about.com/cs/css/a/aa042103a.htm.
Thanx a lot,
Harald

Hi Harald,
Unfortunately, I can't think of such way. In EhP1 we introduce a real export to Excel functionality, so it would be better to export it to excel and then print it from there.

Natty

That's a hardware issue and I'd ask on the forum for whatever Mac you have.

The words in the .docx (MSWord 2010) file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. What could be the reason?

The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......" is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?

Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
display slightly differently.

Export preset settings for Print Media?

i am about to set down and follow rudy gay's tutorial on exporting images with a logo overlay (thanks for all the help in finding this document) and i am wondering if there are an expert or two on the list that might be able to share screenshots of their export presets.
i have gotten to the point where i have applied metadata to imagery and i had a request recently to send in images that are larger than 1 MB but i have been really confused as to what i am doing here. for instance, i have three projects that were created by importing folders of images from this person which have imagery:
"print" project = 24.75 MB 2400 x 3600 px
"ppt" project = 505 KB and1024 x 683 px
"web" project = 324 KB 1024 x 683 px
i /think/ all of these are 72 dpi but i am not sure how to check this.
plus, i just ran an export as JPG at 100% size from the PRINT project and they all landed on my desktop at something over 1 - 4 MB in size.
basically, i am hoping that someone wouldn't mind sharing their settings and perhaps a little bit of an explanation so i can start to teach myself how to make this work better over here.
i realize that some of these things may be considered particular to an individual or even proprietary in some way but anything i can get on this will put me much farther ahead than i am now.
TIA

I apologize for not getting to this sooner.
How are you viewing the PDF that shows the discoloration? Acrobat or some other application? Is overprint preview turned on in Acrobat?
This is definitely transparency related. When you choose PDF 1.3 you are flattening the transparency and the white lines you see are called "stitching." Thay ae a dispaly artifact in Acrobat (they'll disappear if you turn off smoothing), and though they may show in a low-resolution digital print, they are usually not apparent in high-resolution output from a press.

Feature Request: Make a Setting Option for Export - Media - What to Render

As I just changed after many years with Premiere Elements to Pro, I certainly find many things just anconversant.
But there's one thing I really can't take: When I'm trying to render a project, there's a small selection list near the bottom of the "Export Media" window saying "export area". Here I can choose between "complete sequence", "work area", "sequence in/out" and "defined by user". This option jumps always back to "work area"!
That's at least for me very unconveniant, because in 99+ % of my renderings, I need "complete sequence". Normally the software remembers the last used setting, but not in this case. I can imagine that one can fight about what's the best default setting: I Guess everyone is using Premiere differently. So in my opinion a predefined setting option would solve best for all: Just add one mor setting in the Presets section, maybe in "General" or make a new rubric "Export" or something. Just a place where everyone can predefine which setting for the export media area option he likes.
No big deal, just one more presettings option!
I hope I could make myself clear what I'm meaning
Thanks in advance!

When you open a PDF email attachment, would you make sure to open it in Adobe Reader for iOS?
When you receive and open an email with a PDF attachment, Apple Mail (the default mail app on iPad/iPhone) uses its own preview feature to display the PDF attachment. However, Apple Mail for iOS does not render or print form fields or comments in the preview.
Please take a look at the Mail section of the following FAQ documents to open a PDF email attachment in Adobe Reader for iOS.
For iPad, see How to get PDF documents into Adobe Reader for iOS (iPad on iOS 7 version)

Can't figure out what is wrong with my form

Aloha all!
Need some help from my DW friends. For some reason my form isn't emailing all the fields. I have sent several tests and only 2 of the fields are showing, the name and the comments. I can't see why the other wouldn't be working, it looks right to me. Can anyone see what the issue is?

Mahalo!!

It's because most of your fields have the same name (textfield). Give each field a unique name (no spaces or special characters).

What's up with printing in Leopard??

Hey, ever since I got Leopard my printing quality from 3 different printers has got so poor.
I've printed on photoshop CS3, CS2, iPhoto and Aperture from two different Canons and an Epson, one of which is at my work.
The printing is so muddy looking and looks nothing like on the screen, colours are off, dark, muddy, poor printing.
What is up with this, everything worked fine in Tiger when it came to printing.
All it can print is text docs ok, any kind of picture just won't print well at all, is there any solution?? I can give model names if you want.
Thanks for any help

I do not know what your level of knowledge is, so enlighten us on your printflow.
One area to look is the "Color Matching" selection in your printer set up dialog. It should not be set to ColorSync.
Also make sure you have the latest Leopard compatible drivers.

Internet Explorer has no place for me to hit "print". What do I do?

On my Internet Explorer, I have no place to hit "print". Even when I right click, there's no choice for "print". What's my problem? I am not computer literate, so please instruct me in "everyday" language. Thank you.

That isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, so you might already have the add-on. Sometimes add-ons become disabled due to not being up-to-date. Or if you used the Firefox Reset feature, none of your extensions are retained.
You can check the status of your extensions on the following screen. Note that the disabled ones cluster at the bottom:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If you have Print/Print Preview can you enable it?
You can check for updates using the "gear" button > Check for Updates (the gear button appears above the list of extensions).
If you do not have the Print/Print Preview extension, try the earlier link to go get it.

Can FW CS3 be used for graphic for printing?

I am very familiar with FW but I do not like Photoshop,
however I have both I preffer to use FW. As I have seen on one
presentation new FW CS3 has CMYK pallete so my question is: can FW
CS3 be used for preparation of graphic for printing or what are the
obstacles? After preparing images in FW I will use InDesign for
text or maybe the text in FW is wector and maybe I could use FW
including text and not to use INDEsign far small projects? Does
anyone has any experience with this subject?
Regards
Martin

Fireworks does not operate or export in CMYK color space. It
was
developed for screen images only, and operates and exports in
RGB color
space. It is not recommended that you use it in preparation
of images
for print. You mentioned that you don't like photoshop. You
might like
Illustrator better.

Formatting for print

I have read about using CSS for printing out your pages so
that you dont
have to create 2 copies of each page you want printed.. but i
cant find how
to actually put it to use..
I have added the necessary code to my CSS file.
I have changed the media type to media="print"
and all i keep reading is that this allows you to have the
same page
formatted for print..
But how exactly do i call the same page for print? do i add a
link to the
page saying click here to print? if so what woudl the link
actually point
to?
or by just including the right code, when the end-user choses
to click print
within there browser that knows to display the same page
using the
print.css?

The browser display will always be the same, whether you have
a print CSS
option or not.
The arrangement is -
You have one style sheet for your screen layout say
"screenstyle.css" and
one for your print layout say "printstyle.css"
You ad both style sheets to your page code -
<link href="screenstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="screen"
/>
<link href="printstyle.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" media="print"
/>
When a user views your page on their screen it is laid out
according to your
screenstyle.css style sheet.
When the user prints the page, the printed output is laid out
according to
you printsyle.css style sheet.
Hope this helps
