Disable "Comments & Forms" in acrobat Print dialog

Hi,
I have a requirement whereing the user should not be able to select options in the "Comments & Forms" section of the Print dialog box while trying to print the PDF.

But you can write a script that will hide all the comments and form fields
just before the file is printed, and show then just afterwards.

Epson 3880 cannot change paper types in Acrobat Print dialog

I use Adobe Acrobat as a RIP to print from on my Epson 3880. It looks like I might have to reconstruct all my printer presets since they've disappeared after the upgrade(?) to Yosemite 10.10.3. However the print dialog in Acrobat Pro X no longer allows me to create presets with different paper types. At least I haven't found it anywhere. Is this something that can be worked around or is this an "enhancement" to the new OS?
Should I just give up and go back to Snow Leopard?

Thanks a lot. Although i find it strange that every application sets this up individually. However, I did this in all Applications that I use for printing, now it works just fine.

How to get Acrobat print dialog in Safari

I am asking this question here as well as in the Win forum as I do not know if it is a Win ony issue:
When IE or Firefox is displaying a .pdf the browser print button, file/print and ctrl-p take you to the Acrobat Reader print dialog and the .pdf itself is previewed and printed. In Safari Win they take you to the browser print dialog and a blank page is previwed and printed. Given the futility of telling users to use the Acrobat print button instead of the browser print button or File/Print, is there anything I can do with the .pdf to get this to work under Safari?

hi all,
thank you for replying. i got rid of the print dialog box by filling in defaults->spool control->output device in the user profile->own data. And i just set the following in my code:
ltp_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
ltp_control_parameters-preview = 'X'.
And also previously i mistakenly reset ltp_control_parameters-preview to 'LOCL' (refer to my previous post).
regards,
sid

Why does the default Mac print dialog show up in Acrobat?

Instead of the Acrobat print dialog:
The Mac print dialog:
shows up when I invoke the Print command.
Is there a preference that needs to be reset? Sometimes quitting and restarting Acrobat fixes the problem, but I've had computers that have never shown the Adobe print dialog, only the Mac dialog.

according to your illustrations you have two different Printers setup.
Unfortunately, in Acrobat 9 the Page setup Dialog does not function it shows any printer. I've explained here.

IF this is Acrobat 9 - I have sent back bug reports, I've posted in Fedback forum (not discussion Forum) about this as well. I have yet to see an answer to the problem. What you need to do is on the 2nd one that has the different dialog is set that to the same printer as in the first.
IF page setup does work in your version of Acrobat make sure that while in acrobat choose correct printer then in page attributes click and choose save as default. That way acrobat will always default to this setup to start with when opening Acrobat.
Another thing you can try is if you have removed a printer and added a new printer go to Printer Utility, and remove the old printer. If you have added a printer make the new printer the default Printer.

Adobe Acrobat Print Preview not supported

I have Adobe Acrobat 8.2.0 and have been having this issue (not really a problem but it bugs me) where when I go to print a PDF and click on preview before sending the document to the printer I always get this message pop up that says "Preview is not supported." I just like to be able to get an idea of what things will look like before potentially wasting paper.
Is this normal and expected or is there something I can do to get print preview to work?

It's normal and expected because Acrobat has a more powerful printing and preview capability than Preview, so running output through Preview would just dumb it down.
If you set up your Page Setup right, the preview in the Acrobat Print dialog (Copies and Pages) is pretty effective for predicting print size and position relative to the true print margins. For color previewing, if you use Advanced/Print Production/Output Preview in Acrobat it, too, blows away the soft proofing in Preview.

Color management and printer dialog

When I print from PS CS-3 to my Epson R1800 printer I check "Photoshop Manages Color." I immediately get a question, "Did you disable color management in the printer dialog?" I am unable to find where I do this. Can anyone help?

The paths vary from printer-to-printer or even driver-to-driver for the same printer, but should resemble each other. So, for whatever it's worth, I disable this function for my Epson 1280 via:
Page Setup > Printer > Properties > Custom > Advanced. There, under "Color Management", I activate the radio button "No Color Adjustment" which I have come to realize means no color management by the PRINTER, without restricting color management by Photoshop. Do you find a similar route for your 1800?

Dynamic Form Print Dialog Presets

For a Dynamic form, is it possible to define the Print Dialog Preset for Page Scaling?
In Acrobat, the option (File > Properties > Advanced ) is disabled for Dynamic forms, and there doesn't seem to be a way of setting it in Designer.
Is there some way to trick it (i.e. by setting it in some xml in the xdp that is not documented)?
It's a real pain having dynamic forms that get shrunk when printed.....

Hi,
Yes, it is not a pretty (or complete) solution!!
I don't think you can disable the File/Print or Control+P (nor would you want to). In Acroforms you can set the print parameters, but as far as I know you cannot do this in LC Designer XFA forms.
This probably is not going to help you but in any one session after the user prints using the button and then subsequently goes File/Print or Control+P, then Acrobat will "remember" the "no scaling".
Some of our multi page forms are split into sections, so to encourage users to use the print button we have buttons in each section, which are set to print that section only (this is useful to the user 'cause they do not need to work this out). If the user wants all of the document, they can click the radio button in the print dialogue.We also colour the print buttons green (with white captions) as a positive / go colour.
Someone else may have a more elegant / efficient solution that sets the print parameters on opening the form or prePrint.
I don't know what Adobe are planning, but you could add it to the wish list: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_next/feature_requests
Sorry I could not be of more help!
Good luck,
Niall

Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but
in addition show the print dialog. My PL/SQL code is shown at the bottom of this post.
I have set the 'printjob' system parameter to 'YES' in the
report and I can bring up a print dialog using the reports runtime.
However, as soon as I run it from my form I lose this capability. Setting
'printjob' to 'YES' in the code has no apparent effect.
Many thanks,
Ben

How do I set up my printer dialog in Quark 6 to make an Acrobat .ps file?

Before I re-installed all of my system and application software, I would simply go to the Print dialog in Quark (6.5) and choose Adobe PDF and make a .ps file which I would then distill. I can't figure out where the Postsctipt file is now or how to access it like I used to. What am I missing? Where do I get the necessary driver and where does it "live"?

The Adobe PDF printer should have been created by the reinstallation of Acrobat. If you have Acrobat available, start it and the go to the Help menu and select Repair Acrobat Installation. This should create a new instance of the PDF printer.

Acrobat 9 Mac Print dialog freezes

I haven't been able to print from Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac for about many months. I can open the Print dialog box and change settings, but as soon as I click the Print button, Acrobat freezes and I have to force quit. (More accurately, the Print dialog box can be dragged around, but even if I switch to a different app, like the Finder, the Print dialog box stays open -- Print button no longer flashing. Nothing prints, and the dialog box cannot close until I force quit.)
Even worse, it happens when I print a PDF from Safari, too! It's been driving me crazy, and I've tried a ton of different troubleshooting techniques.
Currently using 9.2.0 on Mac OS 10.5.8. Not sure when the problem started, but I've done a number of Acrobat and OS updates since then, always hoping that one will fix it. No luck.
I thought it was the free version of Font ExplorerX from linotype that I've been using far, far too long. When I quit that, it seemed to work once... but now even without that running it's crashing. So perhaps it was a fluke.
Also, sometimes it works if I hit the Print button really quickly after the dialog box opens. That's even weirder.
Yes, I have removed the printer driver and reinstalled.
Frustrated. (I usually just open the pdf in Preview and print, or place it in InDesign and print. But sometimes, like today when I have to print a contract with digital signatures, only Acrobat will do.)
Sigh,
David Blatner

"Acrobat is a fincky application..."
One thing I've learned since OSX 10.2 is that Mac is finicky about printer drivers too.
I had a Lexmark and it would freeze all the time after I switched to Panther. It was a discontinued model so when I moved up to 10.3 there were no new drivers. The old ones installed OK but they would cause it to freeze up and if it did print, it took about ten minutes to get through a page of text.
I got a new printer and one tht had current drivers available for Mac and the problem was solved.
It seems we fight a never-ending battle with hardware and software racing to stay ahead of each other.
Yes I've owned three printers since owning my first Mac an SE 30 I started out with a Apple ImagewriterII (made C-Itoch). I had to switch when I bought a 7100/66 which used the PowerPC processor instead of the 68030 processors. Then I had a HP DJ 650cse which used a Black Cartridge only. No color. I had to change again When I bought my G4-500. I am still using it today. Its the best printer I've had so far. I fear when I buy a new Intel Mac, and comes with X.6 (Snow Leopard) I will have to swap again. I've seen the new HP DeskJets and the won't last as long this one. They look like cheap toys and (gulp!) they use heads built like in epson not the Cartridges. The Cartridges were more expensive. But each time you bought one you got a new set of print heads. No longer.

How do I edit a "fill and print form" using Acrobat XI?

We recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro, version 11. We have some staff who previously created "fill and print" forms with Adobe Acrobat 10. However, now when they try to use version 11 to edit the form, they receive the following message: This form cannot be edited in Acrobat. Please use Adobe LiveCycle Designer to edit this form.
If I remember correctly, version 10 (or some package suite) use to install LiveCycle along with version 10. This doesn't seem to be the case with version 11. So... How do we obtain LiveCycle Designer? Is it still available to install on a desktop or is it only available in the cloud? Or, preferably, is there a way to edit the form using Acrobat Pro version 11?
I don't work with Adobe forms myself, so any information you can provide will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

LCD forms can only be edited in LCD. However, Adobe stopped distributing LCD together with Acrobat. You need to purchase it separately now, but if you had a previous license you can get it at a large discount, I think. Try the LCD forums for more info about that.

Trouble printing a Livecycle Form in Acrobat or Reader

I've created a form in Livecycle 8.0 which I intend to have users fill in in Acrobat or Reader. When I try to print the form in Acrobat, either to a printer or to PDF, it simply prints a blank document. I've got Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 but I've also tried to do this in Acrobat Standard v8 and had exactly the same problem.
I'm fairly new to Livecycle, and I've run through the tutorials and noticed that the forms I produced in them all seem to print fine, so I assume the problem lies with some setting I've used to create this other forms, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That's very strange. I've sent it to 3 colleagues here. Everyone who opened it in Acrobat (version 8.1 and 8.1.2) were unable to print, while the person who only had Reader could print. What version of Acrobat do you have? Could it be a problem with 8.1?

How to disable print dialog settings being saved, in the registry or otherwise?

Is it possible to disable the print dialog settings -- such as duplex printing -- from being saved after the Adobe Reader is closed? So each time the application is opened, and one prints a document, it is printed according to default settings?
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Product: Adobe Reader XI

Problem with PJC (Print Dialog) - Forms 10g

I have a problem with my PJC for Forms 10g r2. When I try to connect and run my PJC (raise Print dialog and put printer name in some text item) I get following message:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Forms session <2> aborted: unable to communicate with runtime process.

When I started application, on Java console I saw this message, so I think the server configuration is fine (I change everything I need in Default.env and FormsWeb.cfg files):
Loading http://devsrv/forms/java/jESPrintDialog.jar from JAR cache
What can I change with server configuration or deploying my project to this PJC can work normaly?
Thanks....

Hi and thanks!
I resolve one part of my problem. Tt was about diferent compiler (in JDeveloper 10.1.3 compiler is 1.5 and in my oc4j server JRE is earlier version, so it can`t work normaly).
I comiled PJC in 1.4 version of compiler and now I can start and run my PJC.
But, there is another problem:
this is my part of java code (note: everything work fine except one line when I want to get printer name from select printer dialog):
try {
boolean b;
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
b = job.printDialog();
try {
return job.getPrintService().getName();
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: "+e.getMessage());
return "My error:";
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("ERROR: " + e.getMessage());
return "Problem with PJC [esoft]";
So, when pjc want to get back printer name
return job.getPrintService().getName();
i get following error (on Java console):
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError
