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!

For the time being, if I want to print in landscape, I'll print it out in pdf and lpr on the command line!

  • 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.

  • 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)".
    smb.conf
    # This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
    # smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
    # here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
    # many!) most of which are not shown in this example
    # For a step to step guide on installing, configuring and using samba,
    # read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection. This may be obtained from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
    # Many working examples of smb.conf files can be found in the
    # Samba-Guide which is generated daily and can be downloaded from:
    # http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf
    # Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
    # is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #

    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.

  • Unable to Find or Search due to PDF Producer

    I only have Adobe Reader XI.
    I receive monthly reports from a client in pdf format. When I utilize the Find or Advanced Search function I receive the response "Reader has finished searching the document. No matches were found."  This occurs for words that I am certain are displaying in the document.
    Through some other research I have found that the PDF Producer utilized can affect this.  Here is the information from the properties of one of the documents:
    Application:  Adobe Acrobat 10.1.10
    PDF Producer: GPL Ghostscript 8.15
    PDF Version:  1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
    On the security tab, it shows No security.
    In my version of Adobe Reader XI, unchecked 'Enable Fast Find' and Purged Cache Contents and it makes no difference.
    These documents are too large for me to not be able to search them.  Is there a solution available for me to be able to search or find keywords?

    Sabian - The only way I can see how to upload a file is to create content on this website and I received an error that I am not allowed to do this.  So I can't figure out how to upload the file.
    Graffiti -
    I can select individual lines of text and words within the pdf. If I attempt to copy then paste, the result is garbled characters.
    I know it isn't scanned because I asked the creator of the document. She didn't seem to have enough knowledge to understand what I was asking except to confirm that she creates the pdf off of a reporting database and chooses pdf for output.
    Under Properties > Fonts, YES the one font - Arial Bold - is listed as (Embedded Subset). Type: True Type  Encoding: Custom
    Could the fonts have something to do with it?

  • How to find PDF files that have other documents bundeled within them?

    Hello guys
    I need help with the following: we have a huge number of PDF files that have other documents imbedded (bundled, attached) in them. If such a document is open in Acrobat, bundled files show up as attachments on the left. Some of those attachements are .mdi files. This is Microsoft Document Images files. Is there a way to flag PDF's that have those .mdi files in them? I need to find them and convert to PDF. If I need to be more descriptive please ask, and thank you in advance for help.

    Preflight is a complex plugin, it's hard to explain how to use it in one forum post. You need to read the documentation carefully.
    There's no pre-built profile for what you want, so you would first create a new Custom Check that compares the MIME type string of embedded files to what you're searching for (not the file extension but the full MIME identifier, which for Office files is a very long string). You would then place that new Custom Check into a new Profile, identifying it as an error condition. Once you've saved the Profile you can run it against a number of files and specify actions to be taken for pass and fail conditions, such as changing the filename or moving to a subfolder.

  • 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.

    Thank you!!
    I produce stuff in Pagemaker and CS4 at the same time until I trust CS4 fully, there are a few things cs4 doesnt do that pagemaker does,  I use a "tagged" import that specifies style and images and that works in pagemaker but not in indesign!
    Thanks again, im happy : )

  • A PDF file was filed in documents. when trying to move this file to trash i got response : operation can't be completed because the itempdf is in usen

    A PDF file was filed in DOCUMENTS, when trying to move this PDF file to trash I got the response: "Operation can't be completed because the item ..... is in use".
    How do I get this document deleted from the system?

    The suggestion to move items from documetns to desktop and then moving to trash is the one that worked.
    I have now one other question and that is that during my strugle with the original problem I called with Apple helpline and there they suggested to move the application "Preview" to trash and then the  issue would be solved. I did so but clearly the issue was not solved.
    Bottom line is that with your solution I got rid of the PDF files, but I still need to reinstall the Preview application. Do you have suggestions how to do that??

  • How do I combine multiple pdf's into the one document?

    A Printer told me awhile ago when i bought in some stuff, that I can combine the pdfs all into the one pdf. Can anyone tell me how you do that and also can I do this with pdf's that are different document sizes? I am making an inviation, program, place cards and certificates for an awards ceremony, and wanted to know if I can combine all my pdf's into the one big pdf, even though they are are all different sizes.
    Thanks for any help!

    If you combine PDF files in Acrobat, remember that when you save your new larger PDF with save as command, it will be saved as PDF version that your Acrobat uses, in Acrobat 9 that will be PDF1.8. Some printers want PDFs to be PDF1.3... in those cases you need to optimize your PDF´s compatibility back to PDF1.3...
    Personally I don´t understand why that is required, because usually reason for that is Transparency, or fact that printer doesn´t want any Live Transparency in those PDF files. But if PDFs have been made properly, theres no live transparency there in the first place....
    Anyway, I have bumped in to that requirement few times....

  • Saving a PDF file to a Word Document

    Can someone please tell me how to save a PDF file as a word document?  When I do a "save as" with the doc extension, a window pops up that says, "Save as failed to process this document.  No file was created."  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Thank you.  I have attached the document that I am trying to save as a word
    document.  Please let me know if you are able to save it as a word document.
    It should work unless there is an issue with the PDF itself. Can you post
    the
    PDF?
    Also, keep in mind that saving to a Word doc from a PDF is far from foolproof.
    Here's an article that can explain it better than me (along with some good
    tips).
