How do I force the print dialog to default to Print All?

Hi all,
I've searched the forums for this and found several similar requests but no answers so I am posting this as a fresh post.
I have a requirement to have the print dialog appear when printing from javascript and have it always default to Print All.  From my research, it appears that there are only two API methods to do this:
1) Print()
2) PrintWithDialog()
Neither take paramters.  Both have the same description in the documentation (which seems odd in of itself).
From our research, PrintWithDialog() appears immediately when called (even if the PDF is not yet fully loaded) but always defaults to, "Print 1 of x" unless the PDF is only 1 page.  In that case, it defaults to Print All.
The Print() method defaults to Print All.  However, if you call it before the PDF is fully loaded, it does not show.  I have searched these forums and found many other people running into this issue.  One thread suggested to put in a timer to make sure the PDF is loaded and then call print.  This works for small PDFs but our customers could be printing thousands of pages so there is no way to know how long to make the delay.
I tried paying for Support to answer this question and was told there were NO PAID OPTIONS for getting support on the Acrobat SDK and to come post the question here.  The Support Engineer I spoke with assured me developers read and respond to these forums.
This is a critical issue for an important customer so any feedback is much appreciated.
An Adobe employee (Irosenth) mentioned something about a bug being reopened in this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2601148#2601148) but no bug number was ever given.  If it truly is a bug, please provide the number, description and ETA for fix.
If there is no solution, can I get a response from Adobe that supports my research as posted above?  In other words, confirm that both the API are working as expected?
Finally, given that it seems many people want this functionality, how do I submit an enhancement request?
Best Regards,
Brian

I downloaded Reader X and the problem is still occurrring, as was reported by the originator of this thread back in November.
Are there any parameters that need to be set for this to work?  My customer is getting very impatient with this.
Also, since downloading Reader X the toolbar does not appear by default. It pops up when you hover over the top of the window.   How do I get the toolbar to appear by default?  (this is not nearly as important as defaulting the print dialog to Print All on mulitple page docs when using printwithdialog).

    Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • How can I unclog the printhead of a Pro 9500 printer? It's too clogged for the printer utility.

    Hi,
    How can I unclog the printhead on a Pro 9500 printer? The printer utility cannot do it. It's too clogged for that and just uses up the ink without unclogging it. I tried the "Magic Inkjet Flush" but that didn't completely clear it. I wasted a lot of ink in the process. I'm thinking of just taking the printhead out and somehow soak it in an ammonia solution. Is there a way of doing this and will it work?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hello artjewel.
    Unfortunately, we cannot recommend that any parts are physically cleaned.  We can only recommend that the Cleaning and Deep Cleaning options in the printer maintenance section are used.
    If the quality issues persist once these cleanings have been done, please contact our support group using the link below for additional assistance.

  • How can we specify the number of decimals to be printed

    How can we specify the number of decimals to be printed
    such as "%5.2d" in C.
    Can anyone help me

    You could use the DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to do the job.
    double number 1234.567;
    DecimalForamt df = new DecimalFormat("###.##");
    String s = df.format(number);or
    double number 1234.567;
    NumberFormat nf = NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
    nf.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
    /* if needed.
       nf.setMaximumIntegerDigits(value);
       nf.setMinimumFractionDigits(value);
       nf.setMinimumIntegerDigits(value); */
    String s = nf.format(number);I didn't test the codes but they should work. For more information, please consult the documentations.

  • HT1349 I am loading pictures in the photo steam photo but they are not being uploaded to the cloud. I have enabled the pictures on the windows PC but how do I "force" the upload?

    I am loading pictures in the photo stream folder but theya er not being uploaded to the cloud. How do I "force" the upload from the PC to the cloud? I have followed the instructions and enabled the photo stream with the  correct folder on the PC...

    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 if necessary.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How do I force a JDialog to appear on top of all windows on my screen?

    My CAD software at work has a Java API that I've wrote an app for. I have to display everything in a modal JDialog so that it doesn't conflict with the CAD software. The one problem is when my CAD software launches the dialog it appears behind the CAD window. How can I force the dialog window to be on top of every window on the screen? toFront() doesn't work.
    For whatever reason the dialog window is opening unselected while my CAD screen is still the active window in Windows. Is there a way to have a Java app select which window is active in a Windows session? Thanks.

    Turns out this a quirk of the CAD software's Java API. I found it by chance in the 500+ page User's Guide. They suggest the work around of hitting Alt-Tab to select the dialog. So I'm not sure if theress a property that I can assign to the dialog to make it appear on top. The line I have is:
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(new JFrame(), nameOfModels, "Models in Session", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);The parent JFrame is created only for when the dialog is opened. I can't create a bonafide parent JFrame for the Java API forbids multiple threads. I'm going to continue searching for some type of workaround. One possibility is to have a keyStroke make the Alt-Tab however this may be problematic. Thanks for the response.

    How do you set the zoom level to Inherit Zoom for all bookmarks in a pdf?

    beatngu13
    I made an account just to "like" your comment and say that you are a god among men.
    I've been searching for hours about how to make the zoom level persistent throughout following links in various PDF's I have, and most sources were saying to just buy acrobat pro and edit the bookmarks manually with it.
    I saw that it was possible to write an application to change the property, and considered doing it after the only pre-existing custom application I could find was asking for $50.
    Thanks to you, I no longer have to worry about re-zooming every time I click a bookmark, and I'm not out $50 or the time it would take to code an app myself!
    From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

  • Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page" when combining to one pdf?

    Acrobat X Standard Bookmarks - How do I make the Zoom Level action default to "Fit Page"?
    When I combine multiple pdf files into a single binder, Acrobat creates a bookmark for each file.  In the properties for each bookmark, there is an action created to go to the page in the document and has the zoom level at "fit width".  Question is, how do I change this apparent default zoom level to "fit page" when Acrobat creates the bookmarks when combining the pdf files?

    Is there a way to do it in one step instead of individually on each bookmark?  This gets VERY cumbersome when I have upwards of a hundred bookmarks to change.
