How to type selected pages in the Print dialog box

Hello,
I am using ID5 with Windows 7.
I need to provide sample pages on my web site of a book I wrote.
I pressed Ctrl-E, named the file, chose Adobe .pdf (Print), and then typed in all the pages:
Sec.1:1, ii-vii, Sec2:1, Sec2:20-23, Sec2:51, Sec2:72, Sec2:92, Sec2:100, Sec2:102, Sec2:116, Sec2:121, Sec2:150-156
These are an EXACT match to what's in the Pages panel, yet ID will not make the .pdf!  I have tried typing the pages both with and without spaces in between, but am getting nowhere.
NOTE: The first entry correctly includes a period, unlike any of the other entries.  The second entry correctly omits a section number, and the last page is indeed 156.
Can anyone see what I've done wrong?
I noticed today that site visitors are looking for this .pdf, which wasn't stored in my Media area as I thought, so I've got to get this done pronto because I'm losing sales!
Thank you!

You can also set your General Preferences' Page Numbering View to Absolute and then you can enter absolute page numbers in the export dialog, which might be easier with complicated sections and prefixes.
The sections and prefixes are still there but for exporting and printing the pages become:

  • How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

    i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

    ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
    nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

  • 6.1 Print Templates - auto select items in the print dialog popup

    In the slide deck I have about 6.1 it says the following:

    Unfortunately I haven't been able to find how to do this in the EP documentation. Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this?

    Not much else to add. The print dialog box just opens every time Firefox is started or restarted.

    Check the Home page setting:

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How to suppress the Print Dialog Box?

    Running an (ASP.NET /Crystal Reports 2008) application and using CrystalReportViewer control. Is there way to suppress the print dialog box when I click the print icon on the report tool bar?
    Edited by: juRamz on Aug 26, 2009 2:54 PM

    Hello,
    Sort of, CR needs the info. Only option is to create your own print button that has all the info filled in. It's a Windows Framework Common dialog box that CR calls so it's the OS that is prompting for the info.
    Using ReportClientDoc here's a possible solution, note that this too has a dialog box to select the printer:
    private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) // Print To Printer button
        System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument pDoc = new System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument();               
        PrintReportOptions rasPROpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.PrintReportOptionsClass();
        CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
        //CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.PrintOptions newOpts = new PrintOptionsClass();
        pDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
        rasPROpts.PrinterName = cboCurrentPrinters.Text;
        rasPROpts.PaperSize = (CrPaperSizeEnum)
            pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes[cboCurrentPaperSizes.SelectedIndex].Kind;
        rasPROpts.PaperSource = (CrPaperSourceEnum)
            pDoc.PrinterSettings.PaperSources[cboDefaultPaperTrays.SelectedIndex].Kind;
        // new API added to allow changing printing options
        newOpts = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.PrintOptions();
        newOpts.DissociatePageSizeAndPrinterPaperSize = true;
        rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.ModifyPageMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
        rptClientDoc.PrintOutputController.PrintReport(rasPROpts);
        MessageBox.Show("Printing report.", "RAS", MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Information );

  • HT3669 Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this opt

    Since I starting using my MacMini (2011 version) I have not been able to print double sided from my HP Photosmart plus - there is no option for this in the Printer dialog box as there was in the similar dialog box on my PC. How do I set up this option?

    1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
    OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
    Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
    Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
    Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
    Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
    How much free space on it now?

  • Current View option in  the Print dialog box

    I have a PDF file, approximately 55 pages that is comrpised of 50+ .jpg images that were combined into a single PDF file. The images are various size screenshots from Facebook.
    I need to be able to print the entire file at 75% magnification in order for every page to be readable.  Only way in Adobe’s print dialog box that I can find to do so is select one page at a time, select “Current View” and then print. 
    When "All" is selected under Print Range in the Print Dialog box, the pages print at different magnifications, most below 10% and unreadable.
    Is there a way to get the entire document to print in the “Current View” setting or at a specified magnification?
    I’m using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Is here a way to disable the print dialog box?

    I am trying to disable the print dialog box so that a page can print directly from a javascript "print" command. How can I disable the print dialog box so that it will print automatically?

    You can try creating a new boolean preference - '''print.use_native_print_dialog''' - and set it to '''false''' and see it that still works. That pref was removed from about:config a number of versions ago, but the underlying code might still be present, so give it a try.

  • Can't see printer name in the print dialog box as the printer name is too long

    This is actually causing siginificant pain as I am using a tablet and moving around a number of floors/buildings needing to be able to print from where I am.
    When printing from Acrobat reader, the print dialog box that comes up does not have a horizontal scroll bar and does not fit in the names of the printers in my organisation. We are unable to change the printer name, so it basically means that when using Acrobat, we can't select a printer.
    All other windows applications show more characters and also have a horizontal scroll bar in the print dialog box so you can scroll across to see the rest of a long printer name. Why is acrobat not using the standard windows print dialog?
    Has anyone come across this? Help!

    This is the Acrobat forum, not the Reader forum. In the future you should check there. I am not sure why you can not change the printer name, unless you do not have administrator rights. The name of the printer has nothing to do with where the print copy is sent. It is just for the purpose you mentioned of identifying the printer to print to. If you are not the administrator, ask your IT folks to change the name for you and explain why.

  • PUT BACK THE MISSING THE SCREEN FUNCTION IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX!!!!

    Hello all...
    I am a creative director in the screen print (garment industry) for over 20 years.  We have always used PS to directly print and control our halftone screens and angles through the screen function in the print dialog box.  Now it has miraculously disappeared after so many versions previous.
    I emplore Adobe and their team to please update this function back into CS5.
    Although it is a function many might not even understand how to use, it is IMPERATIVE to the screen printer/artist in this industry.
    There are workarounds, of course, but they are much more tedious and time consuming.
    I truly cannot convince enough that we folks in this industry want this function back!!!!!

  • CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD filewon't print because the print dialog box won't appear altho the file properties appear to be the same as other files that do print.

    CS6 Photoshop: One newly-created PSD file won't print because the print dialog box won't appear after selecting File > Print.  Then "Print" becomes grayed out. The file properties such as permissions, are the same as other PSD files that do print.  This file also cannot be converted to Adobe PDF, which is not offered as choice under "Save as", whereas other can be.  I've exited, reopened Photoshop, restarted computer, checked out other CS6 PSD files which do print, nothing changes.  The 52 MB file has been flattened. OS is Windows 7.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sounds like the printer driver is having some problems.
    Try holding the space bar down when you select Print (which makes the print dialog NOT load previously used settings).

  • CS3 page setup: in print dialog box???

    I am confused about the page setup in CS3. Coming from Illustr. 10 if I started a drawing in landscape mode and wanted to change into portrait mode I had to change the document and page setup boxes. Now in CS3 there is only a document setup, the page setup is in the print dialog box. Can someone share some light on this?
    Thanks.
    Ulrich

    I think the process is now as it always should have been. It was crazy always having to go to two different dialog boxes just to change one setting. The thinking here is that Illustrator is now smart enough to know to automatically adjust the Page Setup settings for you -- if you rotate the document from Landscape to Portrait for example, AI should be able to figure out on its own that you want it to print that was as well.
    The main point here is that Page Setup options aren't needed much anymore -- most of the options are handled directly within Illustrator's Print dialog (and can hence be saved in Print Presets, etc).

  • Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

    Where do I find the printer dialog box to change the setting that asks me to save a file before printing

    Hi Sara,
    The problem is every time I try to copy a page from a website or attachment sent to me or anything that I don't create, the dialog box says I have to save it before I can print -- there are no other options on the dialog box.  Very frustrating -- one of the girls in my office is having the same problem and we can't find a way around it.
    Hope you can help
    Thanks

  • How do I get Pages to quit printing small boxes in my text?

    When setting up a small, 2 page flyer, I like change numbered sentences to a dark red, make them bold, then make them superscript.  All of this is built into my Pages '09 templates and makes things easier to read for younger folks.
    I created a new document from one of these templates today and it looked perfect on the screen but when I printed the document, between the bold, dark red superscript number and the first letter of the sentance, where I had left a space, I now have (only on the printed copy) a small box.  I don't know why it shows up only when printed, but I'm hoping someone can help me get Pages to stop printing those boxes.
    Thanks for any and all help!

    You may also add OpenOffice spell checkers, there is a long list of languages, including Norwegian. These may be used with other apps too. Downloaded OO dics have the extension .oxt, manually change it to .zip, confirm when asked that you really wish to do this. Open the resulted folder and take from there .dic and .aff files, and move them to /Library/spelling. You may thus have as many spell checking dics as you wish. They may be selected in all the apps based on the Cocoa engine, including Pages.
    In the attached screenshot, in the lower part you may see these dics.
    P.S. I am not very familiar with Norwegian, but it seems the article does not specify how to download and install OO dics.
