ICal, PDAs and print planner pages

I'm somewhat confused after reading a number of posts in search of answers to these questions. So, I'm just going to ask here.
I'm using OS 10.4.1. I have a Palm Tungsten that I currently sync to the Palm Desktop. But I'm considering the switch iCal.
What's the best way to sync to iCal? And are there disadvantages to using iCal over the Palm Desktop?
How can I easily print monthly pages for my paper planner? I use my Franklin Planner in conjunction with my Palm because it's much easier for my family to view a month at a glance.
iMac Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Having recently made the switch, I can share from my experience.
The Missing Sync seems to be the best way to fly. Seem intuitive and robust.
Couple of differences I've found you should be aware of -
1) Multi-day events are handled differently with Missing Sync (and possibly any other iCal link up, but I'm not sure). Say you have a three day trip you want to plan. Instead of a bar across all three days, like Palm, you need to set iCal to show three repeating days (three little bars - one for each day). Otherwise it's not handled correctly. Not a big thing, but for me who does a lot of multi-day planning, it was almost a deal breaker.
2) I presume you'll use the Address Book? If so, e-mails are listed as a Work function, not under the title "E-mail". Again, not a problem unless you link to multiple computers. Sycing with my Mac, but using my Palm to overwrite data on another computer using Outlook really messed with my Outlook data - it didn't know how to handle the e-mail stuff.
Printing is pretty straightforward, but works best if you use a color printer (if you have multiple calendars, or categories as Palm would use the term).
All in all, a pretty painless jump. Hope this helped.

AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

My LaserWriter Pro 630 thinks it's a LaserJet IIP and prints dirty pages!

I recently aquired a LaserWriter Pro 630, and have been trying to get it to work. I've been using it with a WinXP Pro SP2 laptop as my PowerMac G4 doesn't have a parallel port and my print server has not arrived yet.
Basically, the only time it'll print anything is when the push button on the printer interface rail is set to 1 or 3 - which is PCL output. While the printer will print when set to PCL, it's output is... undesirable. When configured in XP as a LaserWriter Pro 630, it simply starts printing out the raw PostScript sent to the printer! interestingly enough, the printer will print on push button setting 4 - it'll print the printer spec sheet, and nothing else. Anything other than 1, 3, 04 4 will result in the printer thinking for a bit then giving an "out of paper light" or having the print job pass on in to oblivion, not giving an error on the printer or computer.
Now, the LW Pro 630 supports LaserJet IIP emulation... So I manually configured the driver to a LaserJet IIP in XP, set the push button to 3, and it prints! Only problem is, the pages look like they were sent through a bad fax machine.
I uploaded the scan of the XP Printer Test page here (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630xp2cq7.jpg). Obviously the printer works, but I'd rather not print reports and whatnot on it when it looks like this.
For reference, here's the scan of the printer spec sheet that prints when the push button's set to 4 (http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lwpro630specsdy0.jpg).
Does anyone have an idea how I can resolve the LaserWriter's identity crisis and make it print cleanly again? Thanks!

The LaserWriter Pro 630 is a Postscript level 2 printer with LocalTalk, serial, Ethernet, and parallel interfaces.
To use it with your Mac, you may need to convert its 14-pin AAUI Ethernet port (marked with <_> Icon) to an RJ45 Ethernet port by adding a used US$5 transceiver.
It can then be used with the standard Apple LaserWriter driver when you turn on AppleTalk on your Ethernet port. No additional print server is required to use with a Mac.
The overall smudginess is caused by shipping it with the cartridge in place, with the tape seal removed. The toner has flown all over the inside of the cartridge. You need a new cartridge.
The LaserWriter test page is trying to explain the settings of the number dial in the center oval of the printout. It lists the ports in order and the settings imposed by each switch setting:
8 -- for the MiniDIN-8 port, used for LocalTalk
RS-232 -- for the RS-232 port, probably a DB-25, and shows the serial settings, like 9600, 8 data, etc.
Ethernet -- for the AAUI Ethernet port, which accepts Postscript level 2 data using "EtherTalk" -- AppleTalk-over-Ethernet
parallel -- for Centronics parallel, which will likely only provide HP PCL 4+ emulation and not Postscript.

Word for mac won't show doc in print preview and prints blank page.

I have a document from layoutready.com that I have been editing and it is a .doc file originally and won't show up. I've tried saving it as .docx and still nothing. Also, when I create a new document and put in a shape or a text box, it won't show up in print preview or print either. Excel is fine. I can insert a shape onto a worksheet and previews and prints fine. I have sent a document to a friend to test and when they open it in their word (on a pc) it previews and prints fine. I called stupid %*&#@ Microsoft and they want me to sign up for $99 Office 365 to get support. Ergh. Should I try to re-install Word? Oh, and I also updated to Yosemite last night.

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Font Size in preview and printed web pages

Hi: I have had a long running problem that annoys me. ever since I purchased a 20inch LCD and changed my display to 1680x1050, web pages that I print appear very small. the same thing happens if I go through preview. Word documents do not have this problem; the font size there appears normal and is easily read.
Is there a solution to this?

There is a way to increase the default 72 DPI rez that saving a PDF uses, if your interested I'l try to find it.
Nevermind, found it...
To save PDFs in better resolution from Preview, try these Quartz Filters courtesy Jerome Colas...

Preview and printer skipping pages

I am trying to print some articles from online. The articles should come out as 4 pages long. Instead, it prints pages 1, 2 and then skips to pages 4 (which consists only of the links at the bottom of the website, which are outside of the "frame" that the article is in [hope i'm using the word frame here correctly]). When I try a print preview first, it shows up like that as well. pages 1, 2...then 4.
Anybody know what's going on?
Thank you very much.

C7280 All-in-One - uploads hang at 12%, then 45% and prints one page at a time - broken pipe

Printing upload hangs at 12% then 45%, then aborts printing with error message "Stopped - Unable to print data. Broken pipe". Can this be fixed?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi JGarner98,
A broken pipe error is a programming construct that is designed to 'pipe' data from point to point. From the description you have provided, it sounds like the operating system is telling yout that is has lost the ability to write date to the printer. This is generally caused by some sort of corruption in the CUPS printing system.
CUPS consists of a print spooler and scheduler, a filter system that converts the print data to a format that the printer will understand, and a backend system that sends this data to the print device. CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. - Source
To fix this, I suspect the best approach is to reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to printing again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OKto confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-clickDisk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. Please let me know if this resolves the issue. Thanks.

How to print specific pages of a pdf from a vb 2013 program using a print dialog

Hi. I am using the acrobat sdk to display pdfs from within a vb 2013 program, because the pdfs are large and we have developed indexes on certain columns. The indexes are stored in SQL tables. My program has a search window which allows the user to search for a value and displays all the pages on which this value appears in the indexed column in a listbox. By double-clicking on the desired value in the listbox, the user can go to the selected page and column. However, the user also needs to be able to highlight one or more of the pages in the listbox and print these pages. I could do this silently using AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages, but the user also needs to have a print dialog displayed in order to possibly select a watermark to be printed on the pages. I also need to default the orientation of the pages depending on the document.
I have reviewed the sdk documentation and also searched in Google and on this site but have not found a way to do this. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for any help you can provide.
Mary

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.
Mary

Preview Scan Location and Print v Print Selected

1. where do I set which folder Preview puts my scans?
2. Print v Print Selected: Is there a way to get Preview to print all the pages when I go Print and then I end up pulling down to "pdf" to print a pdf?! For the umpteenth time I have scanned a 50 page document, gone to print a pdf of this scan, and accidentally hit "Print" (go figure) instead of selecting all the pages (!?) and hitting Print - and then of course pulling down the pdf and going to Save As pdf.
Print defaults to print only the selected page ?! and Print Selected Pages works if you select all the Pages? I have to scan the whole darn document again...What am I missing?
Thanks!

If you select to scan a document and then press the Show Details button you can set the location for scanned files.

The default Pages setting in the Preview print dialog is set to all pages. You have to manually change this setting to selected pages/range.
If yours is set to the selected pages setting then check that you are not using a Preset. If no Preset is being used then close Preview and try trashing the file "com.apple.Preview.plist" in your users Library > Preferences folder. Then re-open Preview and select to print a document to check the setting.

No Scaling when Printing Multiple Pages per Sheet

I'm trying to print a pdf document but with 2 pages per sheet. I tried to scale up the document by 10% (in the page setup tab) but it actually scaled down about 30%. Any idea what could be going wrong? Can Adobe even scale up and print multiple pages on the same sheet?

Are you using the Multiple button under the Page Size & Handling section of the Reader Print dialog? This section allows you to determine how many pages are printed per sheet. The scaling is pre-determined by the number of sheets you have selected.
