I-beam on headings in printed document

This drove me crazy yesterday, so I thought I'd post my findings in case any of you have had similar problems.
In my printed doc, I noticed that some of my headings had an I-beam at the beginning. I searched this forum and the web for I-beam and RoboHelp and found nothing, so I wondered if it was something Word was doing, not RoboHelp.
I'm sure I would have figured it out quicker if I had more experience with some of Word's features, but despite the fact that I started using Word in 1987 (yes, it was around then), I've mostly used FrameMaker for complex documents.
Those I-beams are Word's way of indicating a bookmark. Somehow my setting for Show Bookmarks in Word got turned on.
This web page tells how to turn bookmarks viewing on and off in Word 2007 and 2010:
http://wordribbon.tips.net/T009190_Seeing_Where_Bookmarks_Are.html
(If that page disappears, search for Show Bookmarks Word.)

So you were the other user!
Preferred MultiMate though.

Headings are duplicated in Printed Document

I noticed that some headings in my Printed Document were
duplicated. I investigated and found that topics used as Books in
the TOC had that problem: The first heading was duplicated in the
Printed Document. I also happened to use the first heading as the
topic heading. What is the solution to the problem?
I know I can delete such headings in the Word document after
the Printed document is generated.

Reading the other replies - I have one further comment. You can change the heading - but that is extra work and might confuse the end-user. More, it confounds QA...best, I believe is to highlight the heading and remove the duplication by tagging it as I previous wrote.
However - this is only in relation to the issue of there being duplicate headings because of the TOC entires.
If you are talking about duplicate topics - this also would be a result of the topic "appearing" in two places in the TOC. In this case, you can accomplish the same thing by tagging the TOC entry and appying a conditional tag, or building a separate printed documentation TOC and an output SSL for that.

Editing Adobe PDF print documents

I am using Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.2.6 in Vista OS.
I normally print documents into Adobe PDF and save it. I want to copy some of the text from that document by selecting a sentence in the document. However, I am not able to do it in the printed document. I am not able to make any undelines or any marks to the text or copy a sentence as I can do with other normal Adobe PDF documents.
I wonder anyone here knows how to make that PDF print documents editable, such as copy a sentence or make underline so on as we can do in the normal documents.
Thanks for any help.

Satyrias, try this-
Open the PDF document. Click on Tools Menu -> Advanced Editing -> Touch up Text Tool.
Select the Text. (It will show Loading Fonts... in the right bottom corner). Once done you can select the text and modify it.
However, if you only want to copy a text -> Use 'Select Tool' it looks like an 'i-beam' on toolbar. User it to select text and copy that.
If you want to apply styles:
Right click on the selected text and click on Properties.
Here you can change the color or apply stroke to make it bold.
But I'm afraid, you cannot underline the text here... Adobe recommends users to create the document outside Acrobat and when they are done with that they can finally convert to PDF. There is very limited options available when it comes to edit the documents. Only those that are majorly used.
If the document is a scanned pdf or its an image you can try the following: (However, using Acrobat 8, as its an older version, the chances are not as great as using Acrobat X)

Setting chapter font in printed document

When I create printed documentation, the font used for the
chapter title is the same as the font used for the titles of the
topics in that chapter. I'd like the chapter title to be in a
larger font, but I can't find a way to set it. How do you set the
font of the chapter titles in the printed documentation?
I'm using RoboHTML 6.0.

When RH generates the printed document it will apply Heading
1 to the chapters, nothing you can do about that.
It will also apply headings in your topics as you have set
them out so the topic title will also be Heading 1. You can clear
the Maintain HTML level check box in which case all headings in the
source will be bumped down 1. So Heading 1 in source will be
Heading 2 in Word. Knowing that, you can adjust your styles
accordingly.
Take a look at the topic on Printed Documentation on my site.

Not convert pagetitles to Heading 1 in Print Document

I am still very new to Adobe RoboHelp 7. I converted my
webhelp to Word.
In all my topics, I start a page with h1, h2, or h3 headings.
I do not need to export the page titles to the print document. How
can I prevent this needless conversion?

The problem I had with "duplicate" headings arose because I
am learning RoboHelp 7 by trial and error. I noticed that when I
promoted a topic to the so-called book level, I could no longer
open the topic in the editor from TOC. So I inserted another copy
of the topic in the TOC just below the book. Therefore, I got extra
headings when I exported the webhelp to MS Word. I am eliminating
this problem now on my own.
I notice that the page titles occur in the header part of the
HTML topics, not in the body part. Therefore, when a page is
produced in webhelp, only the text beginning with the first heading
appears. So I have a non-problem.
Sorry to bother you. Have a restful weekend.
By the way, when I opened your webpage, I did not see where I
could leave email.

How to have column headings re-print on next page when printing?

When I make a document in Numbers '08, that requires more than one page, how do I get the column headings to print on the other pages?
I have looked at 'Print View', but cannot edit what I see. Please help!

I no longer use Numbers '08 but if I remember well, the soluce is to activate the "Show Print View" mode from the View icon available on the left edge of the toolbar.
It offer:
Show/Hide Print View
Show/Hide Layout
Show/Hide Rulers
Show/Hide Format Bar

FI-CA document type when a print document is created

Hello everybody,
We have been searching events (e.g. 0061)/user-exit to change the FI-CA document type when a print document (based on our own logic) is created with transaction EASIBI without success. Maybe you have enhanced something in another project. Can you share you experiences?
Thanks in advance.

Major problem saving and printing documents on two computers

This is a bizarre problem that seems to have been transferred from my old MDD to my new Mini when I migrated all my old data and it has me baffled. My apologies if this explanation seems long and complicated but I want to be pretty thorough.
About a month ago I started experiencing a problem with printing. I noticed when printing a sheet of business cards that the page was getting compressed, for lack of a better word, vertically. This was very noticeable because the trim marks on the side of the page were not lining up with the perforations and each row of cards was getting progressively closer to the top as each row was printed. In other words, the first row of cards was okay but then the next row was a little too far "north", the next row a little more, the next row a little more, etc. The bottom of the page was not cut off, it was just squeezed up a bit but not enough that you could tell that the proportions were off. Now I see that many of my documents are like that no matter what application I've use to create them – Pages, Illustrator, Avery DesignPro. What's even worse, I've used Pages to create a sheet of business cards for a friend and Illustrator to make packaging labels and she's having the same problem printing the PDFs of the labels on a different computer. What this seems to tell me is that something has been corrupted and the computer is saving messed up files.
So, about ten days ago I got a Mini and migrated my data using Migration Assistant. And the problem has now been transferred to the Mini. So I now have two Macs connected to two different HP printers that are both incapable of printing (and apparently saving) documents in the proper proportions.
Now, a truly weird thing is that I printed a test sheet of business cards from the Mini on the printer connected to the MDD (via printer sharing) and it appeared that the document printed at the correct length. However, another document, a sheet of labels created in Illustrator, printed at the right length but one edge was slightly cropped off. Grrr.
Anyway, as I said, until about a month ago everything worked fine so something got messed up at that time to cause this problem with saving and printing documents. I need to get this resolved for business reasons – I'm an aspiring designer – but the only thing I can think of doing is wiping out my Mini and reloading everything except my account settings from Time Machine unless someone has advice on what to do. Help! (And yes, I've checked to see that page scaling was always set at 100%.)

Well, I've just about had it. I erased the disk, reinstalled the OS, Adobe CS4, and iWork. I did not use Migration Assistant this time to restore my settings but still my Mac prints documents in the wrong dimensions. Could this be a sudden HP problem? It seems to me some system setting somewhere is making my computer save and print documents in the wrong size. I now have a computer that is almost useless for designing. Lucky me.

Problem Printing Documents - No Doc Flavors Supported

Hello everybody. I've been trying to implement a print feature in my applications and I've had absolutely zero luck. Basically, I'm trying to print the contents of an html file. However, there are no PrintServices that show up on my machine that support DocFlavors text/html, or even text/plain.
I searched all over the Internet, but the only tutorials I found involved printing GUI components. I tried putting everything in a JEditorPane and then printing it, but the table is so large horizontally, it runs off the side, so I don't think that route will work.
I checked IRC, scanned through all of Sun's tutorials and print service API documentation, and even searched around for open source Java word processors so I could check how their print features are implemented, but I can't find anything to help me figure this out. I know there has to be a way, though... or stuff like EIOffice and ThinkFree.com wouldn't be able to work. Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
Here's the current code I have:
          //display print dialog
          DocFlavor df=new DocFlavor("text/html; charset="+DocFlavor.hostEncoding,"java.io.InputStream");
          PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes=new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
          attributes.add(new javax.print.attribute.standard.JobName("NutraSmart Menu",null));
          PrintService[] services=PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(df,attributes);
          PrintService service=null;
          if(services.length>0)
               service=ServiceUI.printDialog(this.getGraphicsConfiguration(), this.getX()+50, this.getY()+50, services, services[0], null, attributes);
          else
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(getContentPane(),"No print services could be found to print this menu.","Error printing menu",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
               nutrasmart.debug(nutrasmart.ERROR,"Could not find any services to print menu");
          //print menu
          if(service!=null)
               try
                    //create temporary HTML file to print from
                    File tmpfile=File.createTempFile("nsmenu",".html");
                    tmpfile.deleteOnExit();
                    String tmpfilestr=tmpfile.getPath();
                    export_HTML(tmpfilestr);
                    FileInputStream tmpfilestream;
                    try
                         tmpfilestream=new FileInputStream(tmpfilestr);
                    catch(FileNotFoundException e)
                         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(getContentPane(),"A problem was encountered while preparing the menu to print.","Error printing menu",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                         return;
                    //print document
                    DocPrintJob pj=service.createPrintJob();
                    Doc doc=new SimpleDoc(tmpfilestream,df,new HashDocAttributeSet());
                    pj.print(doc,attributes);
               catch(Exception e)
                    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(getContentPane(),"There was a problem with printing the menu.","Error printing menu",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
                    nutrasmart.debug(nutrasmart.ERROR,"Error printing file",e.getMessage());
          }

Really we have a crazy font management.
We have more than 9000 fonts in the /Library/Fonts
To avoid conficts between the the installed system fonts and the Document font folder, we don't use the document font folder, so that we use always the /Library/Fonts/ fonts installed. Anyway some time ago we also used the Document Font folder and we got the same problem.
I think that your idea about closing the document before the printing process has been finished is very interesting. What I do is :
doc.print(print_preset);
doc.close();
But I don't how can I test if the document is being closed before finishing the printing process.

How do I get my Kodak ESP 3.2s printer to print documents from my iPad ?

I have an iPad
I have a Kodak ESP 3.2s all in one printer
I have set it up to print via my home wi fi using my normal laptop with Microsoft
However I couldn't work out how to print from my iPad as its not configured for Apple!
I downloaded Kodak Pic flick HD app
This means I can now print photos from my iPad! Great
But still can't print documents it seems I get a message saying No AirPrint Printers Found
Any advice very welcome
Thank you
iknow0

Airprint is a technology created by Apple Inc. and introduced in iOS 4.0 that allowed iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches to print directly to Airprint compatible printers. Unlike computer printing where the drivers, fonts, etc. are stored on the computer and sent to the printer with the document with Airprint fonts, drivers, etc. are stored on the printer and need not be sent with the document.
The solution to your problem is 3rd party software which both Jim and I suggested to you.

How can i use only black cartridge for printing documents

i have today installed hp 1510 all in one printer, it uses ink from the both cartridges i just want to use black ink for printing documents, how can i do that
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @sandeepv
I can help you with your print settings, so the printer will print black and white only.
If you have a Mac operating system, use the instructions below.
Printing with the Black Print Cartridge Only option
Click File and then click Print.
Make sure your printer is selected.
Verify that the Preset option is set to Standard.
In the Copies & Pages menu, select Select Paper Type / Quality.
NOTE:If this option is not available, click ColorSync. Then click the down arrow beside Quartz Filter and change the setting from None to Black & White.
Select the Paper tab.
From the Color option menu, select Grayscale.
Select the Color Options tab.
Select the Black Print Cartridge Only option.
If that option is not listed, then it is not available. The printer will print using only the black cartridge, however, printing with one cartridge will be slower than printing with both cartridges.
NOTE:To save the setting, click the arrow next to Preset and select Save As. Save the Preset option as Black Cartridge Only and then click OK. Then, the next time you want to print with just the black cartridge, select the Black Cartridge Only Preset. -Source

I have an 10x14" InDesign image that I'd like to shrink to fit within a 8.5x11 printed document.

I have an 10"x14" InDesign image that I'd like to shrink to fit within a 8.5"x11" printed document (using InDesign) without losing the quality of the image (especially on print). What is the correct/least destructive process to do this?
And how is it that you can view different image sizes on Flickr (of the same image) and it doesn't seem to effect the quality of the image?
I have tried saving/exporting the InDesign image as an EPS file, then opening the file in Photoshop, adjusting the size to my liking, saving it as a Photoshop file, then placing that file in a new InDesign document, and the image comes up distorted looking/pixelated even with my screen zoomed at 100%. I've also tried this same process with exporting it as a PDF file instead of an EPS file with the same distorted/pixelated results.
Help!?!?! Thank you in advance!!

I am assuming you are in InDesign CS5:
Change your InDesign Document Size, but before you do this you must make sure the "Enable Layout Adustment" is on.
Under: Layout/Layout Adjustment/Check the "Enable Layout Adjustment" box is checked and adjust Snap Zone.
ALSO: Make sure your horizontal and vertical margins touches your live area.
Then you can change size of document

My HP officejet 6210 no longer prints documents from my Mac ibook G4 running 10.4.11; starts to process the document, but then stops the print,if I restart print same thing happens

My ibookG4, running 10.4.11 suddenly decided it no longer wants to print documents thru my HP officejet 6210 all-in-one printer. So far I've tried emails, excel and word all with the same result. The computer will start to process the print request (processing seems to take longer than previously) and then suddenly the processing stops and a red exclamation mark appears next to the printer image at the bottom of screen. When I pull up the printer utility it tells me the printer is "stopped". If I restart it, the process begins all over again until once again it stops. I have already deleted the printer completely from my computer and reinstalled the software fom the HP site. For some reason had a really tough time finding the correct print drivers on the HP site, but did finally locate them. I have not even attempted scanning during this (I see lots of people reported issues with that for the 6210), I would be happy if I could at least print again. I am connecting via USB. Is there some way to fix this?

How to create print document for payment to customer through cash journal

Dear Sirs,
I have a problem with print document from cash journal. I enter a payment to customer (when I turn the money to customer) and the system makes right posting, but when I try to print this point, system printing document for incom from customer. I'm using business transaction for customer posting in cash journal. I would like to know how I have to manage this posting - payment to customer, or incoming from vendor (returnes advances from emploee)?

Hi,
please check whether the two solutions below work:
1. create a contract with milestone billing plan where there are only down payment billings, so that on the basis of the contract you can generate down payment requests and then relevant down payments, release the contract to a sales order which can then be delivered and billed, manually clear the billing document with the down payments
2. from FI module, create down payment requests via t-code F-37 directly, and then down payment posting, generate sales order directly, and then deliver and bill, manually clear the billing document with the down payments

Missing pages in printed document

Some topics are missing in the printed document. What could be the reason for this? I have tried and tried but could not get those pages printed.

Welcome to the RH forums.
Perhaps you could give us some additional information which would help us here. What version of RH are you using? Is the problem only in one project or on one PC? Is it the same pages that are always missing? Are they always missing from the start, middle, end? That sort of thing.
For a start, check that you have included all the required pages correctly. Check out this link. Also check to see if you have any Conditional Build Tags that could be filtering out the topics you are expecting to see.
