In Logic X printing to pdf gives me strange drop shadows after the notes, text.. etc.

I'm doing a score layout in logic pro X and sended some PDF print files to my client, but he said there were drop shadows on the notes and text. It's really annoying and I can't figure out what the solution for this problem could be. I opened an older project in logic 9 to find out if it was the software, or maybe the conversion to pdf, but in logic 9 there was no problem . The pdf's were sharp as a knife.
Is there a solution for this problem?
Many thanks for any help

I have the exactly same issue.

Printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side)

Safari 7.0.5 on Mavericks 10.9.4: printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side). Any suggestions?

I am trying to print from Safari. The problem happens without respect to the zoom level, as I have tried many times with several different web pages, from fully zoomed in to fully zoomed out. It also happens without respect to whether I use the print option (and then specify to print to pdf) or use File>Export to pdf...
Irritating, as the "save as... "option is not foolproof either.
Any thoughts?

How do I view/print a pdf document in an email? I'm not getting the little hand icon.

How do I view/print a pdf document in an email? I'm not getting the little hand icon.

Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader! That makes sense. Thanks so much for your reply. At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs. If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

The printing of .pdf file from Project 2013 stops when the file name should be written. Project 2013 crashes. Does someone know what is wrong between Project 2013 and Adobe Acrobat 9?

The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year of 2013.
Acrobat 9 support of MS Project via PDFMaker stops with Office 2007.
For Office 2013 support you must use Acrobat XI (11.0.1) or newer.
A good to have reference:

Acrobat Pro and Standard DC are what are currently available for purchase.

Black drop shadow bleeding onto white text during printing (but looks fine on screen)

For my business card design I have white text overlapping an area of very white grey- causing readability issues (insufficient contrast). It looks great apart from this one problem, so I still want to keep my white text and light background and fix it by separating the text and background with a darker drop shadow..
First, I added a black drop shadow to the text- but this was not enough to increase readability (text still looked faded on background as drop shadow was too subtle at 85% opacity, 0.04" blur) so I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow (100% opacity, 0.02" blur + 18% opacity, 0.02" blur). This produced a heavier drop shadow effect for my text as desired but, for some reason, the text came out slightly grey in print (offset run). It seems the drop shadow somehow got printed over the text itself to some extent- turning the white text somewhat grey (and so not looking as clean as intended).
How could this dropshadow bleed into the text happen? Is it to do with the fact I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow? I would have thought that, even then, the text should entirely overlap all of the drop shadow as the text is the top layer in the group.
What can I do to ensure that drop shadow does not print over text in any way in future? Do I have to stick to only one layer of dropshadow-or is there something else I'm missing?

One way this could happen is if the white fill of your text was not with 100% opacity.
Also, do you see a whiter place than your text on your business card? It could be the color of the paper if you are comparing with the white of the image on screen without proper color management.

Printing problems (PDF files-HP Color Laserjet 1518ni: return the printer?

Hi everyone, I recently switched platforms and became a Mac user and had to buy a new
printer because my old HP deskjet is not compatible with my computer. So, I bought an HP
Color Laser printer, supposedly Mac compatible, but every time I try to print a PDF file it only
prints the first page. And then stops printing. I spent hours with the HP customer service, reinstalled
the driver, changed configurations, but it still does the same thing. The customer service representative could not solve the problem. I was wondering if there is any one else who had a similar issue with printing? Is it Mac OS X 10.5.5 that causes the problem? I am about to return the laser printer; it would be so helpful if I got some feedback. If it is a printer issue, then, which printer would you folks recommend that is not too expensive but efficient (I use the printer a lot and need an efficient one) and a printing speed of around 12-20ppm that actually does work with the Mac?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for calling my attention to the Adobe issue. I did try and print a PDF file with Preview and it worked! How was the issue solved with Adobe 7? Maybe Adobe pro7 also similar bug issues; is it to Adobe that I should be reporting this or to Apple?
Thanks again.
It's definitely an Adobe problem. The only solution I ever saw was either to print from Preview or to use later versions of Adobe Reader 8 or any version of Reader 9. I asked Adobe support what the problem was. I never got a reply.
You should know that Preview (and any other application which reads PDFs using Apple's PDF engine) has a problem with displaying Times Roman Italic, and only Times Roman Italic when launched under OS X 10.5.5. All other fonts appear to work normally; at least I haven't found one which has a problem, including other Times Roman font faces, including Times Roman Bold Italic. Preview seems to print properly, but the on-screen display has problems. The same files display properly with apps which don't use Apple's PDF engine, and also with apps which use Apple's PDF engine under versions of the OS earlier than 10.5.5, going back to at least 9.2.1. Apple is aware of the problem.
There seems to be at least two problems with the main PDF engines for OS X, Apple's and Adobe's.

Print to pdf: Asks for name of file, but does not actually print a pdf file.

Printing to PDF: When I have text in MS Word, or Notepad and I want to print it as a PDF file, when I attempt to do so. The widget stating now printing foo.txt comes up (in the printer spooler window foo.txt - Notepad is seen), then the save as insert filename hit "save" button ( foo.txt no longer in spooler window) and in notepad I get invalid handle.
If done in ms word. same as above accept spooler shows foo.docx. and no invalid handle diagnostic.

Hi kernwh,
I checked for the same but it only asks once for the file name.
Please upgrade Acrobat X to 10.1.12 and then check.

InDesign printing to PDF results in white "highlight" effect behind PLAIN black text.

InDesign printing to PDF booklet spreads results in white "highlight" effect behind PLAIN black text. There are no text effects like drop shadows or transparency. Some of the text is in it's own shape above a semi-transparent shape, but not all.
Exporting to PDF does not cause this problem, just printing to pdf. I cannot use the exported pdf as I need the full booklet spreads. Help!

In addition to vinny38's advise to not print to PDF, you may not even need printer's spreads, unless you are printing this yourself. If you are sending this off press, the prepress team will want to do the imposition themselves. If you are printing to a network copier, some have the ability to do booklet printing from a multi-page PDF saved in single-page reader's spreads (one page for each page of the document, rather than two document pages for each PDF page).
If you do need to print this yourself and if you have to impose it in InDesign, consider making a new document and placing the pages of your original document onto the pages of the new document, the way you would place any other images. You can decide where the pages have to go in order to get printer's spreads, and when you're done imposing, export as a PDF and print that PDF to your printer. You will get a better-quality PDF than printing to PDF.

Printing to PDF creates document with only part of the printout, improperly sized

I am printing from a windows application with my Adobe Acrobat Standard 10.1.9, and when it prints (to a standard Portrait size document), only about 25% of the document appears in the PDF, as if I had told it to zoom in on the document.
I want the PDF to comtain the complete document, fit to one portrait sized sheet of paper. I want this to be the default behavior.
Help!

Ok, I think I found what needs to be changed, but I cannot set it "permanently" - that's what I need to figure out now.
When it comes up with the print dialog, I choose Adobe Acrobat as my printer, and then in the print dialog, there is a properties button. That opens a window and one of the options is labeled "Adobe PDF Page Size" - this seems to default to be blank. If I set that to "Letter" everything works as I want.
So the question is, how do I make "Adobe PDF Page Size" default to "Letter" under the Adobe Acrobat properties?

Acrobat printing certain PDF's with 8 - 9 lines across the pages.

A few Acrobat user's are seeing thin black lines on the printed pages. We do not see the lines on the PDF on the computer screen. I am unable to reproduce the issue with Acrobat Pro 10.1.3, I upgraded the user that brought this to my attention to Acrobat Pro 10.1.3 and she is still seeing the Black Lines on her printed pages. I had another user test to the same printer and we did not see the lines on the printed pages. She is using Acrobat Pro 10.0.2.
At this point I think it's a user setting? Any ideas or suggestions?
I attempted to upload examples in PDF format, PDF's are not allowed????

Hi,
Please share the files.
Are you facing this problem on particular machines?? And is this problem reproducible with every PDF document on these machines?
Also provide the information about which OS are you using on the machines where this problem is occurring.
Thanks.

While generating PDF from webpage or website some of the images/texts doesnt show up in PDF. Also, there are a lot of formatting inconsistencies.

Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs ! ! !

Can anyone please help, the websites hosted with us are developed on adobe CQ5.4 content management tool and when they are exported to PDF some of the images / texts doesn't get generated in the PDF. Also, the css /theme doesn't get generated resulting in formatting inconsistencies.
However, if the same website is generated using some online PDF converters all Images & texts are coming fine with correct formatting.
Is this issue due to using CQ CMS as that has a lot of components or is there a limitation with Acrobat XI pro trial version or anything else ?
Appreciate if some one could provide inputs.
Thanks

How do I get my PDF/Adobe Reader to work again after the FireFox 4 update? It will not let me open PDF's any longer.

I uploaded the new FireFox platform yesterday morning. For the rest of the day I could not open and see an PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

You downloaded it but, did you install it?

I purchased the upgrade that enables me to convert a pdf to a word document and after the last upgrade the Tool option does not appear only comments, how do i get the Tool option to return?

How do i get the tool option to return so that i can convert a PDF to word

First thing to try: uninstall, then reinstall the latest Reader version.
If that does not solve the problem, provide some information on your operating system, Reader version, etc.
B.t.w. did you sign in with Adobe Reader [Preferences | Adobe Online Services]?

Having trouble downloading PDF file; blue arrow drops down after click on it, but goes nowhere

I am signed in on a bank account I have used in the past; trying to download a pdf which is a copy of my accounts, but cannot find out where pdf went.

Hello there,
To change the download folder for Firefox only:
1. Open a new tab to about:config (type about:config in the Awesomebar and tap the go arrow or tap Enter)
2. In the search box, type down and tap Enter
3. Scroll down to browser.download.folderList and tap Modify, then change the value from 1 to 2 (from default always to last used folder). The change should appear after a few seconds.
4. Scroll back up and tap the "Add a New Setting" button
5. String is the correct type, so OK that
6. The name of the preference should be browser.download.dir (this stores the last used directory)
7. The value should be /sdcard/ followed by the folder name you want to use, for example, /sdcard/FxDown
If you switch back to your other tab and download something, it should go to the new folder.
