DMS - Print of PDF through 'DOCUMENT_SHOW_DIRECT'

Hi
After upgrading our Adobe Acrobat from version 5 to 7, we can't any longer print our attached PDF-documents.
We have created a program, based upon PSFC_DOCLINK_DIST, where we print various types of documents, Word, Excel, PDF and so on.
The print-process is started when a production-order is printed.
When using Adobe Acrobat 5 this also worked for PDF-documents.
Does anyone have any clue of whats wrong?
Regards
Torben

How can I/Is it possible to silently print a PDF with specific print settings and obtaining the resulting job id (in windows at least)?

Greetings,
I have a specific application for Windows I'm developing where I need to silently print a PDF to a real printer. The trick is I need to set specific printing preferences ... such as color/monochrome, # of copies, page size / source tray, etc. The printer is always set to spool documents, and it is key that I know the job id (even if its already done printing) of the resulting print job.
With windows APIs mixed in, I would imagine something like ...
OpenPrinter(printername)
StartDocPrinter(...)
-----> some SDK call to print the document based on the handles I pass it...or perhaps one page at a time after I call StartPagePrinter()
EndDocPrinter(...)
ClosePrinter()
I've been searching for something for days that would give me this sort of control, but I've been finding the documentation very difficult to find on silently printing a PDF through any means other than a command line which doesn't appear to give me the information or control I need.
Is this possible with the Adobe SDK?
I've seen other posts accomplish this by changing the printing defaults for the printer, and then sending the job silently with a commandline. This has two problems for me: 1) I still don't know the Job ID of the print job, and 2) I can't rely on the idea that other unrelated print jobs will not be sent while I'm processing the PDF ... making it difficult to use defaults as a means of controlling the settings without causing a lot of side effects.
Even just a point in the right direction would be a huge help for how I could accomplish this.
Thanks a lot,
Wayne

Ligatures in PDFs through ePrint

When printing pdf files through ePrint, ligatures (such as the fi combo) print as squares.
Can anything be done about this?

Hello pebleb,
I understand that you are attempting to print off ligatures in your prints via an attached PDF.
Can you describe the steps you use when trying to print these PDFs through ePrint? This will assist me in trying to understand your problem and getting a resolution for you.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

Printing Adobe PDF files through Airport Extreme

I am trying to print Adobe PDF files to my HP5900 through an Airport Extreme. I can print other types of files (ai, eps, qxd) but i am unable to print PDF files. When i hit "print" the rainbow wheel starts spinning and it just gets stuck forcing me to force quit. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have ideas for a solution? Thanks

Have you tried printing the PDF from more than one application (just to eliminate the possibility of an application problem)?

DMS: Print mutiple Documents(originals) through CV04n List of DIRS directl

Hi All,
Is it possible to Print Multiple documents through cv04n list of douments, i.e i will select the documents from the list, say 10 documents & click on the print tab. When i tried it prints only the frist document(original), how can print the all selected documents in one go.
Is there any config or any userexist & badi for that?
Help will be appriciated.
Regards
Nishant..

Hi Nishant,
Multiple originals printing is not possible in std SAP, since it involves Multiple application types (like cad,word,excel) and multiple drawing sheet sizes (A3&A4).
You need to go for a third party software which provides this solution and support. You can be in touch with following solution providers.
1. Cideon (http://cideon.de/cideon/en/so/index.php)
2. Seal systems. (http://www.sealsystems.de/com/outputman/engineering_printing.php)
Send me your email ID, i can send few documents.

Printing PDF through 32 Bit PC stopped working

We have 2 different applications one using the WIN32API call and the other one using .Net Process to print the PDF document without opening. This functionality was working until 3 -5 weeks back in production. Now we are unable to print with the existing functionality. Yesterday we come across the same code is working fine when we make a request from 64 bit pc's. This is strange and I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Adobe or Microsoft. FYI, 4 days back the all of the sudden it started printing just for a day and it stopped again the next day onwards.
Here's the code we have been using from 2 different applications,
ll_rc = ShellExecuteW ( handle( this ), "PRINT", is_doc_path + ls_full_file_name, ls_Null, ls_Null, 1)
and here is the function definition for the above:
                FUNCTION long ShellExecuteW (long as_hwnd, string as_lpOperation, string as_lpFile, string as_lpParameters, string as_lpDirectory, integer ai_nShowCmd ) LIBRARY "shell32"
In .NET, we are using PDFSharp to print.
Process printJob = new Process();
       printJob.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
     printJob.StartInfo.Verb = "print";
     printJob.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
     printJob.StartInfo.FileName = concatenatedFileName;
     printJob.StartInfo.Arguments = '\\' + prntDialog.PrinterSettings.PrinterName.ToString() + '\\';
     printJob.Start();
     printJob.WaitForExit(5000);

Programs stop responding when I try to print to PDF

Info on what I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
Using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version 8.1.0, up to date on updates
In this example, Microsoft Office 2007, no add-ons besides the Adobe Acrobat add-in that allows the creation of a PDF (but happens in all programs)
Problem:
I have always created a PDF from a Word/Excel document by printing to PDF (File --> Print --> Select Adobe PDF as printer --> Hit OK). Generally, the next step that occurs is a dialog box appearing that prompts me to select the location where I want to save the PDF and to specify a file name. Several weeks ago, this process stopped working. Now when I hit "Ok" to print to PDF, no dialog box appears and whatever program I'm in freezes/stops responding. Aside: I have tried printing to PDF from several other programs to see if the problem occurs in those as well, and it does -- printing to PDF freezes whatever program I am attempting to print from. (For example, MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Firefox, even Notepad)
Bullet point summary of what I have tried:
Canceling the print jobs in the Adobe PDF printer under "Devices and Printers" (jobs say they are canceling but never clear from the print queue unless I go into Services and restart my print spooler) and reprinting (freezes again)
Restarting computer (had no effect)
Setting Adobe PDF as my default printer (had no effect)
Setting TrueType font as "Native TrueType" under the Adobe PDF printer properties (Layout --> Advanced --> PostScript Options) (suggested in another thread I read about this problem; had no effect)
Checking to make sure that Word had not "adjusted" the security settings for the Adobe add-in (disabling it) under the Trust Center (Adobe add-in was still enabled, so nothing to change there)
Changing the printer properties to print directly to the printer rather than spooling first (had no effect)
Saving as PDF using File --> Save As --> Selecting PDF as file type (does work and is an acceptable substitute except when I need to convert multiple files to PDF at once and don't have time to go in to each individual file and convert it separately)
Repairing the Acrobat installation from within Adobe or from the Programs and Features menu under the Control Panel (does work, did fix the problem; but see followup below).
Repairing the Acrobat installation worked when I did it a few weeks ago. Once I went through the process, I attempted to print a document to PDF and it worked. But this morning when I attempted to print another document to PDF, it froze Word again and has been doing that ever since, so it does not seem to be a permanent fix. I had succesfully printed several documents to PDF this morning before it stopped working; the document I printed to PDF immediately before the document that froze was the exact same as the document froze in every way except the actual text (formatting, document objects, etc.). So I don't think it was something in the content of the document that "broke" the Adobe PDF printer.
I am sure I can try repairing the Adobe installation again, but I really do not want to have to do that all of the time. Does anyone know what the problem is? I haven't found anything that explains what's going on.

Anyone?

Adobe Reader Crashes when I attempt to print a PDF

Hi,
I am running 11.0.02 Adobe Reader on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard). Each time I download a pdf via Safari (5.1.8) and try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
When we logged in on a guest account on my Mackbook Pro, the problem disappeared. Printing Worked.
Logged back in as me, then deleted a number of p.list files in my library preferences, even tried deleting and resintalling Adobe Reader. Still the same problem. Try to print a pdf document in Safari, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes. Save the same file to the desktop and open it directly in Adobe Reader, try to print, Adobe Reader locks up and crashes.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
David

Hello Pat,
You are absolutely the BEST.
I followed your two recommendations and now the program is working perfectly. Yes, my Reader XI was version 11.0.10 when I was having the problems.
I never would have figured out the solution to the problem without your help. I was very pleased with your follow through.
I really appreciate your help. THANK YOU! – THANK YOU!
Adobe is a great program – I have used it for years and this is the first time I have had any problem.
Kind regards,
Hartley

Print a pdf directly to a printer to avoid repeated ripping of the same image

Hi,
I have created a 3.000 pages document from inDesign heaving its page the same color image as background and variable data. The document exported as pdf. Because of this method the file has very little size (about 3MB). The acrobat print engine take the image once and the resulted pdf does not using a copy in every page but share it (very cool).
The problem that I have is that when I print this pdf using the windows postscript drivers of my industrial printer (Xerox) then it takes very long time to ripp. I think that even if the pdf has only once the image the windows drivers does not understand this and send the image with every page.
I discussed this with someone and told me to print the pdf directly to the printer without the interference of printer's driver. As an example he mentioned that when we have a postscript file we do the same to print it (otherwise the postscript code will be printed) using a command line like lpr and put as an argument the IP of the printer (or using some tools for this like the free PrintFile but tghis is only for postscript files).
Could someone explain to me what he meant? And how is the syntax of the lpr?
Thanks in advance

Do you mean that the information for the label is huge on a letter or A4 page and you want to shrink it to the size of the label, or do you have a small region that you want to print to the label? Your work flow is not coming through at all and it is hard to help as a result.
If you have a label size print on a large page, then crop the page to the label print. Then go to the print menu, select the label paper, set shrink to fit, and print. At least I think that is what you are looking for.
