Help with printing a SCORE To PDF! Urgent

so once again I'm on a deadline and struggling with the score editor. I have a large score. I have been formatting one page at a time, and then moving on. What I mean exactly is that I get page 1 the way I want it, select print and then preview, save as to a PDF, and then move on with page 2 and do the same thing.
This was working, up until page 13 (ironic). Page 13 had much more going on notes wise, so I dropped the scale of the score set by one percentage point, from 82 to 81%, so that I could still fit everything I wanted on the page and have it look good. But then when I went to print preview, the formatting was all screwed up, and now I can't figure out how to make it look good, while still keeping the decreased scale.
Please, someone tell me you know how to get around this. It seems like what it says in the manual doesn't apply at all when it comes to preparing a score for printing, and I'm on a deadline for a grant and very frustrated.
Help?
Thanks....

There are 3 ways in which you can affect the size of the Score to Print:
1) The Page Set up ( which is probably the one you have been using - it may be that below 80% the Score cant be defined in terms of the information on it.. not sure about this)
2) In the Score Editor if you go to Layout>Create Score Set from Selection and then open Staff Styles.. there is a Scaling Parameter there which reduces/enlarges the Score
3) In Layout>Staff Styles> You can also change the size of the stave in individual parts which would reduce your Score size
Hope this is in time for that deadline
MS
PS You are correct to print from PDF - printing from the Score Editor will not solve your problem AFAIK

Need help with printing black and white pdf print at higher quality.

We are a machine shop and many of our customers supply their prints for the tooling we need to make in .PDF file formats. The problem is that some of the files are NOT of great quality. They seem very faint. I can view them on my computer no problem and when I zoom in, the quality is good, but whey they print, the dimensions and lines are very faint. I have been pounding my head to come up with a way to improbe the quality in the following characteristics: contrast, line quality, darker dimensions and lines, etc. But I just cannot get anywhere. Is there anyone that could give me some insight into how to do this. If so, he or she would have my undying gratitude (which probably is not worth much, but sounds good!)
The other thing is that some of our customers send their prints in .TIF or .TIFF file formats. Is there any way to convert them to PDF and get good quality? These .TIF and .TIFF files are a little worse than others.
Thanks ahead of time!

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.

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.

[Solved]Help with printer

Hi!
I`m really frustrated... I never thought that installing printer can be such a paint in the rear...
Ok, now back to the point:
I`m trying to set up my Deskjet 930c on 32 bit Arch through usb. I did everything that Wiki says: installed
cups ghostscript gsfonts hplip and net-snmp
I loaded the module
modprobe usblp
and i see the that the printer is connected alright
[andy@andy ~]$ dmesg
usb 6-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 6-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 3 if 0 alt 1 proto 2 vid 0x03F0 pid 0x1204
I added the cups and usblp to rc.conf to make sure it is being loaded on startup. I rebooted, and then opened http://localhost:631 in firefox. It allows me to setup the printer, but when it comes to printing the test page, adding users or removing printers i get a Firefox message:
Port Restricted for Security Reasons
This address uses a network port which is normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. Firefox has canceled the request for your protection.
The requested address specified a port (e.g. "mozilla.org:80" for port 80 on mozilla.org) normally used for purposes other than Web browsing. The browser has canceled the request for your protection and security.
When i run gnome-cups-manager i see an error in terminal:
** (gnome-cups-manager:13143): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030
, and when trying to print a test page i get an error:
Ready: /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip-hplip failed
So i`ve ran
hp-setup
and setup my printer. I can than print a test page.
But when it comes to printing by a usual user, the "print" button in all applications is grayed out/inactive.
Also hp-toolbox is segfaulting all the time...
Also, running a system-config-printer says:
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-service-unavailable'.
The funny thing is... The only way to print something is to print it to a .pdf file first, and than printing that file.
Any help, please?...

If that thread doesn't solve your problem, then there are a bunch more CUPS threads that are less than two weeks old that will.
omg! huge thanks, that completely solved my problem... i wasn`t actually concentrating on the firefox error, more on the cups errors that followed... thanks again!

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.

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues

for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

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.

Help with "Print to PDF" Script...

Hi All,
I'm a Web Designer and I would need help creating a Print to PDF Script...
Here's what I have:
// Illustrator Export Script
var difDocuments;
difDocuments = documents.length;
    for(i=0;i<difDocuments;i++) {
        var aDocument;
        aDocument = documents[i];
        var docName;
        docName = aDocument.name;
        var docPath;
        docPath = aDocument.path;
        var docPathStr = docPath.toString();
            if (docPathStr.length>1) {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = aDocument.path + "/" + aDocument.name;
            else {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = "Z://Users//Fred//Chavi Files//Saved Exported PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name;
        var printOpts;
        printOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
        printOpts.printPreset = "Print As PDF";
        var fileToSave;
        fileToSave = new File(docPath + "/" + "Saved Flat PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name);
        aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);
So what I'm attempting to do is to make a Print to PDF script rather then a Save As PDF, since print as PDF takes half the space...
The settings would either be from a Print Preset or just by regular options...(if someone could make a list of the attributes and the "formatting" it'd be extremely appreciated...
Thanks,
Fred.

I already tried that...my test file was around 60kb with the "Print as PDF" and 104kb using the "Save as PDF" and then Optimizing....
I'm mostly doing the exporting to PDF on the Windows machine and I tested my script in Windows as well...
Am I just formatting it wrong?
It tells me:
"Error 1242: Illegal argument - argument 1 - Object Expected
Line: 30
->
aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);"
and just before that I had a couple of "Constructor" errors...in the "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Guide" it was saying that:
"The following objects must be created explicitly:
Illustrator save options
PDF save options
PPD file
PPD file info
printer
print flattener options
print job options
print options"
What exactly do they mean? I created the objects like so: "object = new object();"
It also mentionned a "var object = app.document[0].add();" Those are to create paths and shapes if I'm not mistaken (ActionScript background).
Hopefully I'll find a way around this...
P.S: how much slower would an Action be? And could an action be "transformed" into a Script?
Thanks a lot for your help

Help with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro PDF Converter

Hello.
I am trying to convert the online homepage of Bank of America (http://www.bankofamerica.com) into a a PDF file. When the PDF file gets created, not all the background colors and graphics come out (Please see attachment). Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I would like my PDF file to look exactly as the website.
Please let me know. I really appreciate your help.
Thank you.

I assume you mean something like the attached. By default the background printing is turned off in most browsers. You simply select the printer setup options and turn the background on. I got slightly different results based on different browsers,but the question is a browser issue. If you try to open this page in Acrobat (at least in AA7), you get a warning from BOA that you are using an older browser and it will not open the page. Strange, but that was the result. You are working from the browser and you are dealing with the browser setup in that case, not Acrobat.

Need Help with conversion of .ondd to PDF

Do you have in design?

I've branched your question to a new thread and retitled it so that someone might be able to help you.
What can you tell us about the .indd file, and what type of PDF -- Interactive or Print? Do you have the entire Indeagin Package foler with the links and font, or just the .indd file itself?

Please help with printing issues...

I used the "Real estate" template for newsletters in Pages '08, and the newsletter looks great, but when I print it out, the top box, the "real estate" box, prints just a blue box...not at all what I am looking at on the screen, everything else is great, and even when I click on preview after print, it looks great, but does not print out the right box...I even printed just the pages template, wondering if I had edited something wrong, but even the pages template does not print the top box as shown...I have also had a difficult time printing out coupons with bar codes on them...I know it is not the printer, as it is shared with a pc, and the coupon and pdf file print fine thru the pc...what am I doing, or is there a setting I have missed?? Thanks so much.

If its a problem printing from program AND Preview, that might imply a system problem, not a program issue. You said it was one of the template files.
Send me an email this weekend (so I can get your email without posting it up here). I will produce a pdf from my machine of the same template and email it back to you. See if that one prints correctly.
If it does, then we eliminated Preview or the printing subsystem as the problem, it is with Pages producing the pdf.
If it still prints bad, then its a system issue.
I see you have printed over and over with different methods, but I don't think I saw if you exported as a pdf and printed that. have you?
Get in touch and we can try it to help narrow down your search of where the problem resides,
Jason
