How can users print CHM or WebHelp to a PDF w/o PDF Writer driver?

A functionality has been requested by Tech Support due to requests from customers. Apparently they want to not only be able to print sections and/or the entire help file (WebHelp and CHM), but they also want to be able to print it to PDF. Some are able to do this because they have a PDF Writer driver installed, but I think to fully provide that functionality, the customer shouldn't actually need the driver?
is it possible to add the ability write to PDF, rather than to a printer, when doing the right-click and select to print from top level (or any level)?

Sorry but either you need to make PDFs available or the user does need a PDF writer on their PC.

  • How can I print some pages from multipage report

    Hello,
    I have created a multipage report in word. I would like the user to be able to print the pages selected (as in word printing: pages: 1, 2-3); 
    I am using Office 2007 pro, the LabVIEW Report Gen Toolkit, LabVIEW 2009, and Windows XP.
    I used the suggestion in thread:
    http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-can-you-print-a-single-page-of-a-multipage-report/m-p/155233 , modifying the print VI that comes shipped with LabVIEW: NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.VI.
    first of all I put two integer constants on "From" and "To" in the Invoke node (PrintOut), but Labview return an error:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi -> print2.vi
    Then I searched for PrintOut Method in word 2007 Reference guide, and I saw that for using From and To the Range field must have the string  wdPrintFromTo;
    I insert wdPrintFromTo string  in RANGE Field and tryed.... same error......
    After that I change approach; removed all constants and used the field Pages; I put a string "1-2" connected to this field and now the printer respond, but all pages was printed!
    What's wrong?
    many thanks

    Thanks, Alex!
    ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
    I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
    I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
    Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
    End Sub
    is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
    Sub PrintPages()
    ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut  Pages:="2-3"  
    End Sub
    printer print all pages.
    what do you think?

  • How can I print a prn file on HP6500; I have windows xp

    How can I print a prn file on HP6500; I have windows xp

    Perhaps some additional information would be helpful.  Does the HP6500 refer to a printer?  If yes, is the print driver and software installed on the computer that has XP?  I assume "prn" refers to some picture file or not?

  • How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option.

    How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option. I'd like to print from "file" and print" like I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it grabs all my info (file folders, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need just the email information, not the entire screen information. Thank you!
    -Bruce

    I agree; I should, but I can't :) I have an orange Firefox drop down that I go to to print, and it allows me to select "print", "print preview" and "print setup", where I can change the margins. It always defaults to a full screen shot (I use Yahoo) and does not show just the email. I don't need to print what is on the left side of the screen or anything other than the email (I can achieve these things by using file-print from IE, so I know it is doable, and I am still going into Yahoo and using their email when I do it).
    Hope this helps. I'm not a fan of IE, but I really don't like the print properties I'm getting here (I'm a long time Mozilla user, but I'm losing too much info with this option and can't afford that anymore).
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I print to a file? Msg: "Could not open the file, access denied"

    How can I print to a file? Printing itself works fine, but I get this error message when I select the "print to file" box.

    Hi gag5212, the "Print pages to PDF" extension does not use the normal print dialog. Instead, right-click the page and look for its menu there, or you can add its button to one of your toolbars.
    I'm surprised by your results with the other sites.
    The http://www.primopdf.com/ page layout is completely whacky. The product was acquired by the NitroPDF people, but what is going on here? Probably best to ignore that one for now.
    On http://www.pdfforge.org/ you should get something like the attached on the download page. I'm alarmed to hear you got something strange. Do you have any extensions that you don't recognize? You might be infected with something that redirects your downloads in some way. Although Norton is generally a solid product, you should consider some supplemental scans.

    I think you may find helpful information here:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius  work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard.  The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.  Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
    MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
    MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
    Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the  Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • How  can i print currency symbol in smart form?

    how  can i print currency symbol in smart form?
    i want to print the currency symbol with grant total based on the vendor currency.
    pls hepl............

    Hi,
    think You can't print the symbols for currency like $ and Pound etc
    see this doc if needed
    A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
    • System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
    • Standard symbol (usable in any document)
    • Program symbol (value from the print program)
    • Text symbol (“local variable”)
    The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
    goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
    from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
    you find all symbols here
    System symbols
    System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
    1. General system symbols
    See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
    2. SAPscript system symbols
    See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
    3. ABAP system symbols
    For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
    Sample code:
    User: &SYST-UNAME&
    Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
    Standard symbols
    Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
    Tools
    Form Printout
    Administration
    Settings
    Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
    The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
    We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
    Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like ‘Charity registration 211581’ may be hiding in a standard symbol.
    Text symbols
    A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
    /: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = ‘University of Warwick’
    /: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&

  • How can I print out the contents of my hardrive

    I have a hardrive with about 200 video clips and need to print the titles for cross refrerencing. I was just going to "grab" screenshots but this will take about ten sheets of paper. How can I print out a list of all the files on the drive?

    I tried this Finder drag method & discovered that it is very important to set the blank TextEdit document to plain text before the drag (from the format menu or with Cmd-shift-t). If you don't, TextEdit attempts to load the content of the files!
    Once I discovered this, I tried the method with Find (Cmd-F) results & it works for that, too. This means that by choosing the right combination of search location(s) & search criteria, you can extend the method to filter the list to just about any files you want, which could be very handy.
    For instance, set the "Kind" criteria to "QuickTime Movie" & location to "Computer" & you get a list of every QT movie. Or set the search location to the folder containing the movies of interest & you get all of them, including ones in subfolders. You could also use the 'date created' or other search criteria to filter the list to a specific subset of movies (or whatever).
    If you need to do this often, you could create one or more 'Smart Folders' with the criteria preloaded for each search.
    The only drawback I see for either Finder based method is the full path one. If you are getting results from just one or a few folders, Find & Replace can delete any of the path name fairly easily, but it becomes a chore if there are a lot of different ones. Some other text editor, like TexEdit Pro, that supports grep searches would be handy here, but since I'm not up to speed on grep, someone else will have to explain how to use it for this, if they want.

  • How can I print ONLY the active document?

    Whenever I go to File/Print the darn PSE 9 program sends all of the working files in the bin to the printer. I've searched online for 2 hours now looking for an answer.
    I like to work with having several to many files in the 'bin' and prefer to only print the active file I'm currently working on without having to close the 'working files' before I can print. How can I print ONLY the active document or file in the project bin? Please help, I've upgraded from PSE 3 to PSE 9 and really like the updated features, but this one pain in the neck default is getting the best of me.

    Thanks for your help, that works nicely. It is good to have control of the printer again.

  • How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

    using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
    selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click.  How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

    In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
    Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
    If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
