Document rendering for print shows degraded resolution

Hi all,
I have printed for years with no problem, but now the rendering looks like a bad fax. I scanned a document at high resolution, creating a 7.7 MB file. I copied this file to my G3/266 running Mac OS 9.1, and opened it using Acrobat Reader 4.0, then selected print. It was spooling to disk for about 10 minutes and the print quality looked like a bad fax - jagged edges on all the characters, etc. Now whatever I print has the same poor quality. I've tried deleting the Preferences file for Acrobat Reader, but still no change.
The printer is a LaserWriter Select, which is why I use Mac OS 9.1 to print.

The problem was caused by previously printing an image (jpg) file. That (or I did, don't remember) changed the Image option to grayscale instead of black & white.
Changing it back to Black & White fixed the print quality issue.
Brody,
Thanks for the reply.
The files I was having problems with were .pdf files. I should have mentioned it was a LaserWriter Select 300, which does not speak postscript, only bitmap.

  • Installing and Configuring Adobe Document Services For Print Forms

    Hi,
    I want to use Adobe Document Services,for Print Forms Scenario,on ABAP side.
    I installed the Adobe document Services following the steps in the Installation Guide.I obtained the Credentials file and supplied it during installation.
    Then i followed the steps in the configuration Guide,except for the SSL connection part, as i have chosen Basic Authentication .
    The Web Service is running and on opening the home page,when i test the method rpData,it asks for Username and password,when i supply my username password it says, user does not have rights to method rpData.
    I even tried using J2ee Admin rights,user with SAP_ALL rights, and ADS_AGENT.
    When i test the service from ABAP side,using the RFC destination i created on Client 400,from where i want to use it, the test shows status code OK.
    When i test a form through transaction SFP,it asks for  USERNAME and password,which i tried as my USERID,ADMIN ID with SAP_ALL rights, even with the users i created during Configuration like ADS_AGENT, ADSUser etc.
    Our J2ee Engine is installed on Client 200,i installed the ADS on Client 200 and created the users ADS_AGENt(service user with role SAP_BC_FP_ICF) and ADSuser on Client 200.
    I also activated the ICF services and created the destination for the destination service using Visual Administrator.
    My Issues:
    1)To test the Webservice,what USER ID password needs to be supplied?Do i need some Special role or rights?
    2)During Configuration ,when i create a USer in SAP Web AS ABAP for Basic Authetication,after creating ADSCallers Role and assigning to ADSUSer ,in Visual Administrator,after selecting com.adobe/AdobeDocumentServices*AdobeDocumentServicesAssembly.jar ,under ADSCallers,i ama ble to see the both the users ADSUser(user in j2ee Engine for basic authentication ), and ADSUSER (user type system in ABAP),are visible,
    When try to add ADSUSEr by choosing ADD,from USER Tree , it doesn't do so.So i Added the ADScallers group instead,thus indirectly both users added.Can this be a Problem?
    3)What else do i need to do?Am i missing something?
    Please help.

    Hi all,
    I am having an issue in which my ecc could not use properly the ADS on the EP.
    I could properly execute FP_PDF_TEST_00 from se38 transaction which gives the correct version no of ADS.  Also I am able to get the correct version no by giving username and password at http://<J2EE_host>:<J2EE_port>/AdobeDocumentServices/Config  which seems like the ADS is working properly in EP.
    However when the abaper is trying to run his form using spf like ZFORM_VENDOR  it is showing error like
    " Error during activation Message no. EU837 "
    Can you please shed some light on what all steps I need to check to ensure that ADS is working properly ?

  • Pdf document setup for print issues

    Hey all,
    I just happened to have a friend who is getting married asking me to make their invitations. I am not at all familiar with the print process (I'm a noob, just getting started), but managed myself to go with a print house that offers me guidelines about how to prepare my final artwork for them to print ( outline texts, line work no thinner than .5pt, Coated fogra 39, PDF/x-1a, no flattened artwork, cmyk values... I think I'm not forgetting anything).
    I followed all the instructions and saved my PDF, but when I open it to previz, I get a horrendous result :O !
    All the artwork seems to "break" (you know, sawed edges), but what's more worrying, is that there are kind of very thin gaps, transparent ones, that appear, as if I had the document sliced. I've opened the pdf in Photoshop, and added a red layer background to save a copy and insert it here, see if anyone can help me out on this one.
    I would greatly appreciate your feedback,
    Thanks and enjoy the weekend, those of you who can!
    So any red slice that appears on my attached converted PDF document, is in fact transparent.
    Ok uploader image tells me that "this type of image is forbidden"... Go figure!
    anyways, if anyone is familiar with this issue and can help me out, please, you will save the date (and my life haha)

    @silkrooster Image size is as requested for print by the print house: 1795 x 1287 pixels (300dpi), it will be printed on a A6 (european standard) and size (with bleed and all):
    152mm x 109mm
    5.98” x 4.29”
    (300 dpi)
    @Ton Frederiks
    I do have all the original artwork in Illustrator, just wanted to check the resulting PDF Export in other apps... You know, curiosity killed the cat hahah... You explanation makes very much sense, although I'm a newbie, but I thought it might be something of that nature... I do hope anyway, that I could get a printed sample card before ordering the whole bunch... I would not like at all to ruin my friends wedding...
    I have so much admiration for you all print artists and illustrators! I love that universe, but also am aware of the complexity and extended knowledge one must have... But hey, you gotta start somewhere!
    Thanks a bunch, I'll have to wait on Monday to see what the Print House tells me, and hope not to have to bother you all anymore with this!
    Have a great one!

  • How to create seperate color channel for print of illustrator document

    Hi,
    I need to print a document with partial UV-spots, and cannot figure out how to make my Illustrator document ready for print!
    The online print center guides me to:
    create a 'seperate print channel' for the specific elements in my document i want covered, with either a '5th color or a special color' set for 'over-print and 100% color'.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    Draw the spots you want to use and fill them with a spot color.

  • Are typekit fonts available for print?

    Can typekit fonts be packaged up as per fonts on my desktop?

    Hello patcsant,
    Thanks for your interest in Typekit.  The Typekit Services Agreement does not permit Typekit desktop fonts to be transferred to another user or computer that isn’t already licensed for that font. This means that anyone you wish to share the document with (e.g. a colleague or a printer) needs to have their own license for the font, either through Creative Cloud or as a traditional desktop license.
    You can read more on packaging fonts here:
    http://help.typekit.com/customer/portal/articles/1166052
    Synced font data may be embedded in PDF and other digital documents, though. Creating a PDF file is, in most cases, the best and most reliable way to ensure typographic fidelity in documents destined for print output.
    I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions. Best,
    -- liz

  • Text not showing in PDF created for print

    After exporting an illustrator document I tred to make a high quality PDF for print but the text does not show in the PDF file.

    Impossible to know. You have not provided any info about your document, what font you used, what appearances on the text, what PDF settings, what system or even what version of AI plus how you review the document. From the font simply not being allowed to be embedded to specific appearances not rendering correctly to unsuitable PDF settings there could be anything at work here. You need to be much more specific.

  • Completely Lost - Resolution for Printing

    I am very amateurish when it comes to computer software, and Illustrator is flying right over my head.
    The problem: I need to print 4 poster boards at 40x30 inches each. I understand that 300 dpi is the recommended quality for printing, but I'm not sure how to set that. How many pixels does this translate to? What do I need to do in order for me to get the best quality printing at 40x30 inches?
    Again, I'm a noob, so I don't really understand this stuff. Can't I just format my files in another program, like Paint.net, safe it as a pdf, and print like that?

    Sounds like you're in large format land.  A 40" x 30" file is a bit too large for sheet fed press.  Although there are presses that can handle that size, I still think you're looking at inkjet printing.  This is where your file prep will become an issue, mainly because inkjet vs. offset are two different worlds.  If you're just starting out and are in a crunch, then perhaps you should use a program you are familiar with and save out as a PDF.  However, 300ppi is typical resolution for offset printing at 100% and 150ppi is typical resolution for inkjet at 100%.  These are not document resolutions ( DPi ), but rather are image resolutions for Photoshop type bitmap files ( PPi ).
    Either way, there's no reason to get bogged down with pixel dimensions.  Technically speaking, Postscript data is set for 72 pixels per inch, so your pixel dimensions would be 2880 x  2160 pixels.  This really does not have anything to do with document resolution and/or image resolution, it is primarily a Preview architecture.  If you plan for inkjet, large format printing, make your document / raster resolution 600 DPi ( you could get away with 300 DPi ).  For offset you can easily double that ( min. 1200 DPi ).  Once you get the Math down, file prep will come easier to you.  I usually assign document resolution first before even naming the file and starting work on it.  Best to talk to your print vendor to see what they recommend.  Perhaps the PDF out of Paint.net will be acceptable.

  • Color Shift in document being prepared for printer

    This is about a book cover design being prepared to send to printer. It was on the back burner for a year. Synchronised color settings in Adobe Bridge to North American Prepress 2. Cleaning up palette (added unnamed colors and threw out unused ones). Converted all colors in palette to CMYK. A placed photo from Photoshop remains in RGB.
    Two color warning dialog boxes have kept popping up:
    "The RGB settings in this document are different than your current application color settings."
    "The CMYK settings in this document are different than your current application color settings. "
    I usually don't change what I don't understand because I'm afraid of a color shift.
    At one point, however, I think I did: It suggested I change the RGB setting to Adobe RGB. I think I selected Adobe Working RGB. Since this is a document with print intent, I didn't think it mattered if I changed the RGB setting. I think it was previously sRGB. Seed right -- the Adobe RGB is more appropriate for print documents, right?
    To make a long story short, the client is now complaining that the new PDF is different from the PDF sent a year ago. She printed the PDF on her inkjet printer and it is different also. The colors of the document elements in the older document appear much brighter, while the photo seems more subdued. The new document, the colors of the document elements appear duller and look less saturated, while the photo seems brighter and more saturated. The client prefers the colors in the old version.
    I sampled each of the colors in the old PDF and the new PDF and they are the same (with the exception of one element in the old PDF that is RGB). So I know the problem is how the software is interpreting the color values, not that the colors have changed.
    How do I get back the old colors for the document, which is ready to send to the printer?
    I'm ever grateful for any help I can get.

    I think the reason why this question is asked often is because the FAQ entry is pretty lame and incomplete, especially for Mac users that by default have a color managed browser and by default have a screwed up rendering mechanism for untagged images.
    Depending on your version of Photoshop, you can convert to sRGB before or during the Save for Web operation.

     ...I have been told that you are not supposed to embed the ICC profile in the document when saving for web because most monitors are untagged.
    You convert to sRGB for the systems that do not fully support color management.
    and...
    You include the sRGB ICC profile for the systems that do support color management.
    Doing both covers your bum in most situations. You may choose to omit the ICC profile if you are working on common interface graphics that do not require strict color management. The ICC profile adds a few kilobytes to the file size that are not necessary on lesser graphic elements on a web page.

  • How can i use only black cartridge for printing documents

    i have today installed hp 1510 all in one printer, it uses ink from the both cartridges i just want to use black ink for printing documents, how can i do that
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi @sandeepv 
    I can help you with your print settings, so the printer will print black and white only.
    If you have a Mac operating system, use the instructions below.
    Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
    Click File and then click Print.
    Make sure your printer is selected.
    Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
    In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
    NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
    Select the Paper tab.
    From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
    Select the Color Options tab.
    Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
    If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
    NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset.    -Source
    If you are using a Windows operating system, use the instructions in the following link. Although this document is titled Changing Print Settings in Windows 8 it can be used for other Windows operating systems.

  • When saving a document as a PDF for printing, I lose pages, clip art, and my orginal format. Help!

    I have created some forms for our congregation to fill in with answers on adobe forms central. When I go to turn it into a PDF for printing for a hard copy, (not all our members have internet) when i save it to a PDF, it doesn't save all the pages and formats it differently then show on the screen i programmed it onto. How do I fix this issue?

    Hi;
    In the "Feature Tutorials/Help" linked from the top of the main page of the Forums: Feature Tutorials / Help
    There is a Tutorial on "Creating and distributing fillable PDF Forms": Tutorial: Creating and distributing fillable PDF forms
    The main thing to look at is the "View" setting and for PDF set it to "Page View", the page breaks you define in Page View will be used in the PDF, there are also "implicit" page breaks added automatically based on the page size.
    For the issue with clip art see this FAQ: Image does not show up in PDF 
    Thanks,

  • Solution for printing of Purchasing Documents in SAP with version managemen

    Hi experts,
    We found that the standard solution does not meet the following requirements for purchasing document
    1)     The print for the latest version of the document does not contain items unaffected by change. It  requires printing of whole document with all items, but with version number and highlighted changes.
    2)     The standard solution cannot highlight some of the changes which are not captured by version management like text changes, target value and Contact (Purchasing Group) in header, text changes at item level, etc.
    3)     The standard solution can be used to reprint the whole PO without version management but that cannot highlight the changes specific to the version for which it is printed.
    If any solution which can meet the requirements specified above, please let us know <removed by moderator>.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok.
    I have already done with SPRO configuration.
    MM->Purchasing->Version management->
    It has implemented ECC 6.0. The version management has been activated for Purchasing documents. The standard printing solution for printing of these documents (PO, Outline Agreements and RFQ) print these documents with changes made in the latest version. Any item which is not changed in the latest version does not get printed.

  • I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

    I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family.  My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with.  It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time.  I have many hundreds of apps.  One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes  then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen.  I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry.  The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

    Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together.  You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll.  You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
    UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad.  Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.
