Cups-pdf - missing dependence

Hi, I've installed cups-pdf from brain0's repo yesterday. It's great, but it seems that there is a dependence to ghostscript missing.
It's not creating any pdf without ghostscript

Share CUPS-PDF trough SAMBA

Hello
I am having trouble making a working installation of CUPS-PDF to be shared through SAMBA. Windows XP can't find the shared printers, the archbox can find it's own printer shares but can not use cups-pdf through SAMBA because of "Idle - Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED)".

Hi Everyone!
This pdf printer has been GREAT!
But I did have to make one little tweak before it was good for me.
The default PDF version of 1.4 produced an output file in which text would collide and overlap. Patching the build for PDF version 1.2 fixed it for me.
Here's the amended PKGBUILD:
pkgname=cups-pdf
pkgver=1.7.0
pkgrel=3
pkgdesc="CUPS PDF Backend"
depends=('cups')
url="http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/"
source=(http://cip.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de/~vrbehr/cups-pdf/cups-pdf_$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('875ed70ec1acdab9d935bca45ee521f8')
build() {
cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
cat src/cups-pdf.h | sed "s|CPPDFVER "1.4"|CPPDFVER "1.2"|" > tmpFile
mv tmpFile src/cups-pdf.h
gcc -O9 -s -o cups-pdf -Isrc src/cups-pdf.c
install -D -m 755 cups-pdf $startdir/pkg/usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf
install -D -m 644 extra/PostscriptColor.ppd.gz $startdir/pkg/usr/share/cups/model/Postscript.Color.ppd.gz
p.s. I know posting PKGBUILD source to the forum is somewhat of a no no
(sorry sarah31, and thank you for everything!)
It just seemed like a good idea to correct this for the archive searchers.

CUPS-PDF printing

I've downloaded CUPS-PDF from "https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/wiki/Home" and installed it following the instructions included therein.
The only instruction I could not follow is to pick "Generic postscript color printer"; I could pick "Generic postscript printer" though.
CUPS-PDF shows in the printer list.
CUPS-PDF apparently prints as indicated by the progress bar.
But, the print doesn't show anywhere on my computer:
The output is not in /Users/Shared/CUPS-PDF in a folder with my user account's name.
I did make an alias to this folder on my desktop but it only contains two folders: "my user name" and "SPOOL"
The first folder had a "clone" of the download source page (which I deleted.)
SPOOL has nothing in it.
I've never had a problem using CUPS-PDF while on OS X 10.4.11, something I'll never be able to revert to.
I'll be eternally grateful to you if you could help me with this issue but, on condition that you use a language as plain as English since my expertise with OS X, which was never as considerable as to be able to use terminal to any advantage, nor understanding terms such as sudos and the like, is now even diminished on account of the new OS I am forced to use from now on.
Thank you all so much for your help.

It seems no one has read my question; too bad...

Cups-pdf produces ugly , hardly readable documents

I think the title of the post says it all. System is up to date, cups-pdf setup is as in the wiki.
To illustrate what I mean, here is a sample image (try to view it full-size).
Left side created with cups-pdf, right side with the built-in "save as pdf" function of chromium.
I do not know if that is important, but the document created by chromium uses DajaVuSans fonts, but the one created by cups-pdf uses "Unknown - Type3 - embedded" fonts.
By the way, I have not used cups-pdf for a while, but I remember having created quality documents with it.
What is the problem there?

I have the same problem, and found this, it's not a solution!
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Printing/2005/Jan/msg00024.html
For the time being, if I want to print in landscape, I'll print it out in pdf and lpr on the command line!

Kde printing and cups-pdf

This was working before, but I don't know what changed, nor where to look to find anything.
What's happening is that anything printing through KDE's print system (ie Konqueror, Kate, KMail) produces defunct .pdf files when I print to my cups-pdf printer. There are no errors in /var/log/cups/cups-pdf.log. The only thing I do notice is that upon inspection of the resulting pdf in a text editor is that it appears only the header is written, there doesn't seem to be any data written after that.
This all does work from Firefox, and I can print a test page from within the cups setup (http://127.0.0.1:631), so I know that it does work.
Anyone have a clue what KDE setting might be goofed up?

I'd kinda forgotten about this. It worked for me after I deleted by .kde folder. (I was doing that for other reasons) But only for a while, it's now not working again, so I hope what you figured out also works for me!

CUPS PDF PRINTING IN WINDOWS OVER REMOTE DESKTOP - PRINTER NOT LISTED

I am running OS X 10.6.2. I connect remotely using windows remote desktop / terminal services to various windows machines. For the XP and Windows 2003 Server 32 bit systems I have no problems with printing pdf documents from the remote windows system back to my mac using CUPS PDF. I don't have to install anything on the remote windows computer. However, for Windows 2003 Server 64 bit and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, the CUPS PDF printer does not appear in the printer list. I tried installing the Laserwriter 8500 print driver (which apparently CUPS uses) and attaching to a unused TS printing port. The printer appears in the list but it won't print, and it's obviously not attaching to my computer.
I can't upgrade my mac operating system until I resolve a keyboard driver issue with 10.6.3 and above. Any suggestions?

I am having a similar issue. I'm using Remote Desktop to connect to a 2008 R2 server and am trying to use PDFWriter as a redirected printer to create a PDF. It is only working after I check print to file, save the file (which it creates an XPS file that is not compatible), then I uncheck print to file, click print, and then it creates the pdf file I need.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Basically - I need to have a "PDF" printer because the print window is on the remote server and it doesn't have the save as pdf option.
Thanks.

TS3991 I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back?

I have some Pdfs missing from in my ibooks. How do i get them back? My os is 7.05

Tap the cloud symbol with the down arrow next to the songs you want to download. You can also download an entire playlist by opening it, scrolling to the bottom and tapping Download All. You can download an entire album by tapping the album, then tapping the download symbol at the top of the song list. You can download an entire artist by doing the same thing after tapping the artist name.
To save on your data plan, do this while your connected to wifi (and your charger to save battery).

How to add document signing to CUPS-PDF Printer?

I am seeking a solution to digitally mass-sign PDF Documents. I'd prefer a way to add this into a CUPS-PDF Printer so I can use a shared queue on the server. Anything without a GUI is welcome. Adobe Acrobat is way to expensive for this and can not be automated at all.
Any suggestion is welcome. I sadly couldn't find an appropriate solution here or via Google.
Best Regards
MacLemon

I am quite Apache savvy, having my own tipi. So the config is not the problem. I just don't know where to start with a CUPS filter to add this.
I have started a thread at the CUPS.org Fora and hope to find some info there.

Has anyone had this issue with CUPS-PDF after update to Yosemite?

It states the PDF is getting made but have looked and no file ever gets created. The printer Queue shows a file but it always pauses the queue and even after resume it does not create a PDF file

Hi, I have this issue too.
It looks like a sandbox issue : In the system log, I can read, just after trying to print something, with no file created (cups-pdf is intended to create a PDF file) :
23/10/2014 18:30:20,797 sandboxd[13941]: ([15034]) sh(15034) deny file-read-data /

(Full reports below)
I tried to uninstall and re-install several times, changed configuration (where to create the PDF files), chmod 777 folders and executables, reseted PRAM and SMC… no effect. Did not made the permission check yet.

Adobe Standard 8.0 - PDFs missing details

Hello,
After creating a PDF file from an AutoCad 2006 drawing, I am missing many important details.
Only some lines are broken, there are words missing in the "comment bubbles" and half of the small circles with the page details/references are not even there.
I already tried to reinstall Adobe 8.0 software, and there is no change.
It also happens randomly, not for every converted/created page.
Your help is much appreciated,
Thanks.

I have the same problem. A window tries to open, then reverts to IE saying there is no connection to the internet. I close this window and another windows opens saying that the license agreement was not accepted so the application will close. Have uninstalled twice and disabled firewall but still the same.

"Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue. I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6. I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

OK thank you. I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across. I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers? That is not what I was using. I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library. You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog. This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF. I don't have that choice. This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF. That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save. I had full control over all the settings. I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
The second method does not work on my machine either. If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF." this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF.
I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices. I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step. (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.)
I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install. I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator. So the old one clearly won't work any more. For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

Acrobat 9 Standard .ppt/pptx to pdf missing objects after conversion

We have Acrobat 9 Standard fully updated, office 2007 fully updated and patched with the Microsoft pdf converter add-on on XP service pack3
When converting ppt/pptx and doc/docx to pdf some of the pictures and information on the slides are missing. If a completely remove Acrobat and just leave the Microsoft pdf converter on, it is able to convert the files correctly. If I install Acrobat 8 standard it works fine also. The majority of the files that it seems to not be converting and leaving off are .emf and .jpg files. It is not all .emf files just the majority
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you tried answering no, then going to Help>Repair and follow up with Help>Updates? A last resort is to uninstall (after deactivation), run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove leftover parts of Acrobat folder, reboot and reinstall. Be sure you have the installation files archived on a CD or backup drive and write the SN on the CD (and previous SN if an update) for future needs.

PDF missing some text from FM 9 using Acrobat 9.2

When I generate a PDF frome FM 9, it's missing some of the text (non-bold)
and one of the chapters is missing the chapter number in the TOC.
It worked fine with Acrobat 6.0, but now I'm using Acrobat 9.2 and some
text is missing. Any suggestions? Thanks!

You do not mention your OS, but there is a hot fix for some problems with postscript drivers that cause missing data in pdfs.

Word 2007 doc to PDF missing bookmark numbers

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro to convert a Word 2007 doc to PDF. The doc converts fine and I get the bookmarks.
The problem though is that the generated bookmarks are missing their numbers.
For example:
In Word 2007, it will look like:
1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
In Acrobat 9 Pro generated PDF, it looks like:
Overview
Introduction
I looked through the forums and other people have posted similar questions but no resolution was seen.
Can somebody please help out?
I talked to Adobe tech support and they were no help.
Thanks

Hi all,
Here is an update to this issue.
First of all I agree with Nick that this *is* an Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro issue. (Possibly even with older versions).
Anyway below are the steps I followed to get this to work. It is quite a round about way but I'm happy I got it to work.
* Generate the PDF as usual from Word 2007. (Maybe you don't need to generate the bookmarks here because we are going to delete them later anyway).
* Open the newly generated PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro
* Click on the Bookmarks tab---if you have the Word 2007 generated bookmarks here select them all (Ctrl-A) and delete them :(
* Then click on the "Gears" icon in the Bookmarks tab.
* In the drop down menu select the "New Bookmarks from Structure..."
* Highlight the structures you wish to have for your bookmarks. For example I chose H1, H2, H3 assuming those were Heading1, ...
* Click OK
* The newly generated bookmarks contain section numbers
* Unfortunately this shows up within a bookmark called "Untitled" So I again select all (Ctrl-A)
* Unselect "untitled" and move (drag) everything else to one level above "Untitled"
* Then I delete "Untitled".
Unfortunately this new bookmark is a flat structure---i.e. you cannot collapse it.
Oh well! At least it works.
If any of you can come up with a better solution, please post it here :)
Thanks

Adobe PDF missing paper sizes

We are on Acrobat 9 and have Adobe PDF printer listed in our printers and drivers. There are many paper sizes missing in Printing preferences / Adobe PDF Page Size.
I know that I can click Add and then include A0, A1, A2 & A3 but I would like an enterprise solution please. Ideally, I don't want to visit each of the 130 PCs to manually change this setting to include paper sizes.
Please can you let me know to solve this please.

You could have done this when you deployed initially but I don't see a way to do this after the fact.
