Help with print booklet to PostScript, Distiller

Please help if you can.
I am printing a booklet from InDesign CS3 to a PostScript file to then create tabloid-size imposed pages to send to a client for printing. It works when I do it with a legal-half booklet, but is failing with letter-size pages going to tabloid imposed pages (1 & 8, 2 & 7, etc.)
All I get is a log. Here is the log:

I am using Print Booklet from InDesign CS3, printing to a PostScript file.
I saw Apple Chancery in the log so I thought that might have been the problem. So I went back to Suitcase Fusion and activated Apple Chancery, with the same result.
I do note that Apple Chancery is a TrueType font. The other fonts in the publication are Arial family (OpenType TrueType) and Times Regular (TrueType). Preflight in ID CS3 indicates no problems, all fonts are OK, and none are protected.
Quit InDesign and re-launched. Same problem.

  • Help with Print Layout Designer

    Hi all,
    I'm not sure if I should post this here or not, I already posted it in the Business One Forum.  Moderator(s)  if this is not the proper place please delete it and let me know that it is not the appropriate venue.
    I need some help with Print Layout Designer.  I am running 2005A SP01, and my customer wants a modification to the Sales Backorder Report.  They want to add the column "In Stock" to both the report as displayed on the screen and the printed document.  The report rendered to the screen has the In Stock, but it is not checked as visible.  I check it and In Stock shows up as designed.  The part I am having problems with is the printed document. I opened the PLD from the Backorder Report, and saved it under a different name.  I resized some of the columns in the repetitive area (header and data) to make room for the In Stock column.  I CAN add the text field Instock as free text and enter "In Stock" as the content.  I looked at the "backorder" column in the PLD, and it is a text field with the source System Variable and the variable is 109.  I would assume that all I need to do in my added column is to set the source to System Variable and enter the variable number.  That is the problem; I can't find the variable number for that column.  I looked on the report rendered to the screen with system information on and the variable is "3 #000027825,OnHand".  I looked at the Back Order column of the report rendered to the screen and the variable is "3 #000028725,OpenCreQty".  I found a spreadsheet that is supposed to contain a list of system variables for 2007A, but the document type for this report is BRDR and that document type does not appear in the list of document types in that spreadsheet.  I looked for a similar spreadsheet for 2005A SP01 but didn't find one.  I DID find a document "How To Customize Printing Templates with the Print Layout Designer".  According to that document, I should be able to get the system variable from the report rendered to the screen with System Information turned on.  Can anyone help?
    TIA,
    Steve

    I haven't dealt with this before so I can't be certain, but here are my thoughts.
    The Backordered Qty is probably a calculated field, so that's why it's a system variable. The In Stock is a defined field, so you probably can use the file and field number, OITM, OnHand. I would look at maybe the stock number or description to see how those are setup on the form instead of the backordered qty field.

  • Problem printing booklet to Postscript file to PDF (Mac)

    I am running Mac OSX 10.7.5 and InDesign CC 9.2.1
    I am trying to export a booklet to a PDF so I can send it to another machine to print.  I am going to File> Print Booklet and I am printing to a PostScript file. I am then opening it up in Preview and the orientation of the file is messed up.  Below are some screenshots.
    So in File>Print Booklet> Preview it shows that I am perfectly inside the guidelines.  Notice it is in landscape mode. 
    Then I export it to a .ps file and open it up in Preview (note: I have also tried Acrobat IX Pro). And the file is messed up and in portrait mode.
    From what I can tell it looks like InDesign is exporting the file in portrait instead of landscape but I can't change it in the InDesign Print Booklet settings because it is greyed out.
    Any recommendations on how to fix this problem? Or workarounds so that I can export a booklet to a PDF?  I need to export it in 2-up saddle stitch mode, so I need page 1 to be next to page 12 and so on. 
    Thank you for the help!

    You need to download and install the ADPDF9.PPD printer description and use it instead of Device Independent.

  • Need help with Printer Setup conventions

    I can't get my Brother printer to print from one computer--but it prints okay from the other computer on my network. I need to know the conventions for the Printer Setup Utility.
    There's a checkbox by every printer on the list. What does it mean when the checkbox is grayed out?
    Some printer names appear in bold. What does that mean?
    Thanx.

    Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your help in this and just want to understand what you're saying.
    As I say, the printer is displayed in the print dialog box but the checkbox is grayed out. I'm assuming that when you say "...it can't find/see them now," you mean the print dialogue can't see them (the drivers). Your last sentence confuses me. You say, "Do you maybe have Printer Sharing enabled & they aren't actually directly connected? If so you have to reboot after turning it off." A little confusion about your antecedents here. What isn't actually connected? The printer? So I have to reboot after turning it off, "it" I suppose is the printer, is that right? I will try that. So turn printer off, reboot, turn printer on. Right?
    I will describe my problem. l thought that if I understood why the checkbox was grayed out I might see what my problem was. If you want me to start another topic I can do that.
    Problem: I have a network with 2 computers and the Brother
    multifunction fax/printer. I'm using an Apple airport hub. The printer
    and one computer (Mac tower) are connected to the airport base via
    ethernet. The 2nd computer (Apple laptop) is on the wireless network.
    Until recently i could print from both computers. Now I can't print from
    the tower. But I can still print from the laptop.
    When I try to print from the tower I get an error message that says, "Cannot print from current printer." I have rebooted, reinstalled printer drivers, checked cables, deleted printer from printer list and re-added printer all to no avail. But as I say, I can still print from the laptop which is using Airport. So the printer prints, the hub connects to the printer okay (ethernet) and I know the tower connects to the hub (I can ping the printer okay from the tower.)
    I am conversing to Brother support via email and their first suggestions I have already tried. Perhaps there's some problem in the network, but I can't figure it out. Worse yet, now when I go to the Network preferences I get an error message which says, "Your network settings have been changed by another application." THIS ERROR MESSAGE WON'T GO AWAY! I can click 'okay' but it reappears. I have to force quit the System Preferences to get out. If you can help with any of these problems I surely appreciate it.

  • Need some help with printing Templates

    Hi All,
         So I was hoping for a bit of help. I am currently doing all illustrator work for my new job. I have not been on the program in a long time and the version I am using is CS4. I have been creating brochures and flyers all A4 size and i have hit a bump in the road. I need a 6pp A4 Z folded (Inside) and 6pp A4 Z folded (outside) template. I Have been using the A3 folded to A4 guides to great affect for a two page brochure. But i cannot for the life of me find a template guides for 6pp A4 brochure.
    This was the best i could do, its a pdf but I prefer working with the guides. I have just been downloading the previous templates from commercial printing websites. I found one that was right but not compatible with CS4.
    Any help with finding one or any ideas on a path to take would be greatly appreciated.

    Why don't you just setup the file you need?
    Create your guidelines and there you go.

  • Problems with 'Print Booklet' from InDesign CS4

    I am having problems using the 'Print Booklet commane in InDesign CS4. I have done this 100s of time from CS3 with no problems but for some reason it just won't auto duplex (print on both sides of the paper) when I do it from CS4. USing exactly the same settings, computer and file. The printer is setup correctly as will print double-sided automatically from other apps. Using mac leopard. Any ideas?

    Unfortunately, I have tried this. I choose 'layout' from the printer option within the driver  and pick 'short edged binding'. Still no luck.

  • Help with printing hard copy from Acrobat PDF

    Copy created in InDesign and printed to Adobe PDF is OK on screen but printing hard copy with random chunks of text missing. Same on both my printers, doesn't happen with doPDF. Any ideas? Thanks

    I suspect that what you are asking is simply to print to a new PDF with print as image selected. You can also save as an image file and then open the images as a new PDF.

  • Help needed with print booklet in indesign

    Help! When I attempt to print a 24 page booklet, indesign does not place my last page opposite my first page, and instead adds multiple blank pages to my document.

  • Need help with printer sharing over ethernet

    I'd like to share the printer hooked up to my Mac Pro via USB with a MacBook in the same room. The MacBook is connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet cable (no router or switch; just a direct connection).
    I have enabled "Printer Sharing" on my Mac Pro.
    However, I'm not sure what to do from here. When I open up "Network" in System Preferences, and click on "built-in ethernet" it says "inactive". When I go to "Print and Fax Preferences" and attempt to add the printer connected to the Mac Pro, nothing shows up.
    I know I'm not understanding a key point here. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it. The goal is to allow the MacBook to use Airport to connect to the Internet, but to have access to the USB printer connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet (long story why this is necessary, but it is.)
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your offer to help.
    The printer is indeed connected to my Mac Pro via USB and is working perfectly.
    As I stated in the original post, printer sharing is enabled in System Preferences on my Mac Pro. There is an ethernet cable going from the ethernet 2 port of my Mac Pro to the ethernet port of my MacBook.
    The missing element was that I had not established a network connection between the two Macs. From the Macbook's Finder I chose "Go>Network" and then selected my Mac Pro. After I entered my username and password, I was connected to the Mac Pro.
    At this point I was then able to see the USB printer connected to the Mac Pro in the MacBook's "Print & Fax preferences".
    However, I still have one problem. When I add the printer on the MacBook, it chooses "generic postscript driver" even though I have recently installed the proper driver on the MacBook. Why would this be the case?

  • Need help with printing edocs with a laserjet1320. Wont print large jobs. installed 10.7 update.Help

    i am trying to print 50 page(5mb) document package on legal paper and the printer is printing one page at a time. I am using a macbook pro  10.7 and I have installed the update. however, it seems as though the computer is not correctly communicating with the printer. A four page job was no problem. I believe these printers are capable of high volume printing. Can I reinstall the firmware? Adobe acrobat will not even communicate with the printer. It just says "waiting for printer to become available." Using "preview", it sends the job to the printer, however, it is printing about 5pages per minute. It is connected through a usb cable. thanks for your help.

  • Help with printing text to Text Edit

    -- Here is a applescript that generates prime numbers up to a certain number. I tried to get the script to print out every number up to the number defined in a text edit document. I got a -1700 error that says (error "Can’t make result of 3 into type Unicode text." number -1700 from result of 3 to Unicode text). If anyone has any help that they can offer me it will be greatly appreciated.
    Heres the Script
    local min, max, neverZero, maxDiv, divTry, res
    set {min, max} to {1, 503}
    set res to {}
    if min = 1 then set min to 2
    if min = 2 then set {res, min} to {{2}, 3}
    if min mod 2 = 0 then set min to min + 1
    repeat until min > max
        set maxDiv to intsqrt(min)
        set {neverZero, divTry} to {true, 3}
        repeat until divTry > maxDiv
            if min mod divTry = 0 then
                set neverZero to false
                exit repeat
            end if
            set divTry to divTry + 2
        end repeat
        if neverZero then
            set res to res & min
            log min
            set resultinfo to "" & result of min
            tell application "TextEdit"
                activate
                set nme_file to ""
                set the_file to (open for access nme_file with write permission)
                write "" & resultinfo to the_file
                write return & resultinfo to the_file starting at eof
                close access the file
            end tell
        end if
        set min to min + 2
    end repeat
    on intsqrt(N)
        return (do shell script "echo 'sqrt (" & N & " )' | /usr/bin/bc")
    end intsqrt

    You're confusing two different steps.  If you want to write the data to an open textedit window, you build a text string of the integers and then write it out to the window like this:
    tell application "TextEdit"
              set text of document 1 to text_string
    end tell
    After that you'll have to save the document.  On the other hand, if you want to write directly to the file on disk, don't use a textedit tell block - just write to the file at the script level (i.e. your code looks correct, but shouldn't be in a tell block).  then you'll have to convince the open textedit window to refresh (which might be a bit tricky).

  • Help with Printing on a JSP dynamically

    Hi
    I am using a bean to list customer information like this on a JSP page
    The bean has different customer information and the products purchased
    I iterate thru the bean on the jsp and i need to print it in the following format
    Customer Price
    CUstomer1........................................................................................$20.00/month
    Cutomer238899................................................................................$59.00/month
    check....................................................................................................$45.00/Month
    Now the biggest problem i have is printing the dots so that the price and customer stay fixed...How do I figure out dynamically how many dots to display????
    Can someone help me out thanks
    ~K

    I agree with that other person in that you should just use a TABLE (without using dots). BUT, if you are really persistent, you can use the <pre> tag so that every character displayed will take the same space. Figuring out the number of dots then just becomes a problem of calculating the length of each customer and the price subtracted by the total length of the whole thing.
    Easy as pie. =)
