Incomplete print dIalog box when printing PDFs

During the past several weeks, whenever I try to print a PDF, the print dialog box (when Copies & Pages is selected in the pull-down menu) is blank ... I can't select how many copies or which pages to print. This only started happening recently, before that everything was fine. It doesn't matter how the PDF was created ... by OS X, by InDesign, by Photoshop, or arriving in email, the result is the same ... incomplete dialog box. My workaround so far when I want more copies or only certain pages, is to "place" the desired pages in InDesign and do the printing from there ... big pain and not an acceptable long-term alternative.
Anyone know of anything that might have happened with recent software updates?

Karen....I found this thread while looking for some help with the same problem. Did you ever find a solution? I have Acrobat 7 and 8 running on a Mini with 10.4.11 and am having the same problem in Acrobat 7 only, Acrobat 8 behaves fine. When going to the Print dialog, the area below the "Copies & Pages" button is blank. I can change the "Copies & Pages" button to other settings but the dialog box does not hold the change, it reverts back to "Copies & Pages". I have replaced Acrobat 7 without any luck.

How to avoid the windows "dialog box" when we use flexprintjob class

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?

How do I call browser Save As dialog box before downloading pdf files?
Here's my favorite scenario:
1. User clicks button
2. Save As dialog displays
3. User chooses location
4. A set of PDF files download to that location OR a single zip file downloads
Background:
I want to ensure the user sees that files are being downloaded. I'm delivering content to users who may not be Web savvy.
Concern:
1. User has no clue how to find downloaded files or that files have even downloaded.
2. I'd like to deliver the set as zip files. Not sure if self-opening zip files still exist.
FYI:
I'm using jQuery UI buttons. Not sure if that factors into response.

Just for clarity, I'm not forcing a download. The user will click a button.
Click a button or click a link, either way you're technically executing a script to force a download.
I'm assuming that's the php file resident on the server.
Yes but that's only part of it. Once the contact form executes, another script is called up which opens the browser's download dialogue.
Is there a php script for simply calling the Open/Save dialog box?
Yes.
<?php
/* This short script forces a file download.
   For simplicity, it's intended to be used for a single file.
   You can use multiple copies of this file (with unique names)
   with different variable values to use it with multiple files.
   Use of this script has a side-effect of hiding the location of the
   file on your server.
// full server path to file to be downloaded (including filename)
$Path2File = "path/to-file-on-server.zip";
// the filename
$theFileName = "name-of-file.zip";
//the work gets done here
header ("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header ("Content-Length: " . filesize($Path2File));
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$theFileName");
readfile($Path2File);
?>
Name this file zip2download.php.
Add a link to your HTML page:
<a href="zip2download.php">Download Zip</a>

How can a get a full function distiller dialog box for saving PDF files in Illustrator?

I would like to know if there is some type of plug-in, etc. out there that would allow me to have all the functionality of a Distiller dialog box when I save a PDF out of Illustrator CS5. Right now, I just have what comes installed with Illustrator. It's a stripped down version of what you would find in distiller.

In what way is it stripped down? Can you explain what features you want?

In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt. Is there a way to m

In character dialog box; when I click on the "T" tool the leading shows 14.4pt. Is there a way to make the leading 100% scaled?

"Auto leading" is governed by the "Auto leading" percentage in the Justification dialog. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30d2a5051004d659b1c-7fe7a.ht ml for a full discussion (the official Help page...).
It *appears* you want the leading set to 100% of your font size. That is *technically* not a problem, but there are not many fonts that look nice with this. Hence the "120%" default -- neither very good, nor extremely bad. I usually go with about 2 pt above the text point size; but it depends on the font and the font size.

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.

"Security Warning" dialog box when click script set to Run at Server

I am rendering a PDF form using the renderForm component. I'm setting the Target URL. I have a script on a button set to "run at server". I can render my form in a browser and fill it out, but when I click the button I get a dialog box with a title of "Security Warning". It says "Acrobat is attempting to connect to [target URL]" with options to Allow or Block. Is this the expected behaviour for server-side execution of scripts?
I'm thinking that maybe I should just use a submit button instead. The problem with that though, is that I don't want to run the mandatory field rules and validation rules. As I understand, you can't submit a form with a submit button unless all the mandatory fields are completed.
Here's the requirement. I need to have two "submit" buttons. One checks all the mandatory field rules before submitting a "final" version of the form. The other button submits a "draft" version without the mandatory checks. I was hoping that the second button could be implemented as a normal command button with a script that executes server-side. Sure enough, it attempted to submit without checking the mandatory fields. Unfortunately I ran into other undesirable side-effects including a distressing "Security Warning" dialog box.
Ideas?

How to supress dialog box when calling smartforms and just create a spool..

Hello Experts,
I want to supress the dialog box where you can print preview or print your smartforms. What
I want is to just create a spool file for this one. Think of it as smartforms running in background.
Thank you guys and take care!

How can I disable "download error" dialog box when saving a complete web page?

Sometimes, when I try to save a web page as type: "Web Page, complete", firefox displays download error dialog box stating a file "could not be saved, because the source file could not be read."
I don't have a problem with firefox couldn't save that file, but I have a problem with firefox displaying that dialog box, because I have to click OK everytime.
Is there a way to disable that annoying dialog box?

I modified the host file mainly to block ads. But that's not the problem. It's OK for me for firefox to not saving some parts of a page (ads usually within a frame). It's my intention to NOT saving those files. I just want to save the main content of a webpage.
But I'm having a problem with firefox displaying the dialog boxes.

How can I keep Firefox from keeping my login name and password from being in the dialog boxes when I sign on on gmail? It allows anyone to log into my email account

When signing on to my gmail account the two dialog boxes, one for account name and the other for the password are already filled in. The password box has dots for the password but anyone who clicks on the sign in box can read my mail. How do I change this? It appears to be a Firefox related issue because it doesn't happen if I sign in on Safari or Internet Explorer. I would appreciate your help.

See [[Remembering passwords]], you can turn this feature off.
You also can [[Remembering passwords#Viewing and deleting passwords|view or delete the saved passwords]].
Please let us know whether that works for you.

I no longer get a dialog box when bookmarking a page. I am unable to title and save the bookmark in the folder of my choice. Where has the dialog box gone please.

Whenever I have bookmarked a page, I got a dialog box where I could give the bookmark a title and choose the folder to save it in. Now when I click 'Bookmark this page, no box appears. The page is still saved in bookmarks but then I have to go into Organize bookmarks to put it where I want it. This is time I have not had to spend doing so in the past. I would like to know what has happened to the dialog box, why has it stopped appearing as normal? I really would like it back.

It was Mcafee SiteAdvisor 3.3 of all things that caused the problem. Can anyone suggest a better/equivalent type of extension I could use?
Thanks,

I no longer get the dialog box when trying to delete rejected photos.

I have always used the Delete Rejected Photos. . . selection to get rid of the photos I have flagged as rejected. However, after the rejected photos are shown, the dialog box no longer appears with the option to Delete from Disc or to Remove from the LR Catalog. I don't know if this problem began with LR 3.4 or before, but the timing was close. It isn't that I don't know how to use the function because I have been using it for years. Any help would be appreciated.

Since I had 358 photos out of almost 2800 flagged as 'rejected' I did not
want to loose all my work. I selected the rejected photos and then flagged
them all with a 'yellow' color. I then displayed all photos with a yellow
flag and 'Un-rejected' them. I highlighted a small amount of them, about 30,
and rejected them and then went to the Delete Rejected photos. the pop-up
came up and I was able to delete them. Since the rest of my yellow flagged
photos were still showing I rejected another chunk of them and so on till
they were all deleted. When trying to delete a group that had published
photos within I got a box warning me that if I deleted them the published
ones could no longer be managed by LR. That is alright with me. It would be
nice if the software would somehow flag those that had been published. All
the dialog box said was that one or more of the group had been published. I
did not know which.
Thanks again for expert help!

Adobe Acrobat Standard and Pro - dialog prompt when opening PDF from Internet Explorer 9

Good morning.
I am having an issue where our ends users that have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard (AAXS) or Adobe Acrobat X Pro (AAXP) cannot open a PDF within Internet Explorer 9 without being prompted by a dialog box to OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Our user that have Adobe Reader X (ARX) only are ok. The ARX users can click on a PDF link within the browser and it will automatically open in a new tab. However, the AAXS and AAXP users will click on that same link, but are then prompted with a dialog box to either OPEN, SAVE or SAVE AS. Has any one else seen this before? We would like it to be so that all users - no matter what Adobe PDF program they are using of the 3 mentioned - can open a PDF link by just clicking on the link and no additional dialog options appear.
The ARX users have the same Internet settings within the Adobe preferences as the AAXS and AAXP users. The check box is checked to have PDFs open within the browser, which they do, but that dialog box always appears for AAXS and AAXP users. Any thoughts?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I stumbled across something today after posting. I had already known that If the ARX user also had one of the other products (AAXS or AAXP), then they would get the dialog box. Here is what I just figured out: if the user uninstalled ARX and re-installed (still having both ARX and AAXS or AAXP in the end) then they no longer get the dialog box. It seems like perhaps its an issue the AAXP and AAXS are overwriting something in the registry.
