IPhoto with Leopard - Portrait or Landscape Selection when Printing?

How do you choose to print Landscape or Portrait using iPhoto with Leopard?

You don't have to. When you select the paper size and printer the orientation should be set automatically as displayed in the preview window.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

I have recently started having this problem in PSE8. The Adobe workaround
did work, but I don't fancy having to re register each time I use it.
What I have discovered is that it's nothing to do with the image metadata as it occurs before any image is opened.
It SEEMS to only occur if you use file/open with to open an image in the editor - IE start PSE with that command.
If you close elements down, and start it using programs/PSE/Elements (or your desktop shortcut) - the panorama feature magically works.
Each time I've opened the editor 'automatically' using image/open with, it seems to create the problem.
Hope this helps

Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

Hi there,
I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
then send "big" PDF to printing.
page 1 is PORTRAIT
page 2 is PORTRAIT
page 3 is LANDSCAPE
In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
With my advanced thanks,
And greetings from Paris, France !

Some questions:
Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
(Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

Print to PDF - using Snow Leopard (Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose

i have a PDF form that i created that is used as a custom proposal that my company sends out to potential clients. the form in its editable state is only used internally. we recently upgraded to snow leopard, but prior to the upgrade, we were able to fill the custom proposal form out using adobe reader, and, as you well know, we weren't able to save that edited document as a PDF with the custom form fields filled out. our work around using adobe reader was to print to a pdf using the adobe pdf printer in the printer dialog. with the addition of snow leopard, however, instead of choosing the adobe pdf printer, we were to choose PDF from the bottom left corner, then Save As PDF, and it would spit out an uneditable pdf that then allowed us to email it to the potential client without them being able to edit it as well as have an internal, digital copy for our records instead of having lots of paper floating around (i know this is also doable using security that disallows the client certain editing privileges, but printing to a pdf is much quicker and more efficient, and the pdf security isn't really that secure at its best).
in any case, i came across this gem of a post here on the support forums that installs another option from the PDF drop down on the bottom left of the print dialog menu that reads Save As Adobe PDF and is supposed to do exactly what i am trying to get it to do...print to a pdf file from adobe reader.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/509/cpsid_50981.html
once i updated to acrobat 9.2 (as the link above suggests 9.1), however, the Save As Adobe PDF does appear in the print dialog menu, but it still gives me the same error that acrobat 8 - 9 gave me while using Snow Leopard — Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save — and as i've already explained, you can't save an edited pdf form in reader (as i am the only one in the office with acrobat) and still keep the fields as you've entered them in. the only work around is to print to a pdf but is apparently having some recent problems.
using acrobat, however, i know that i can save the editable pdf as a new file with the fields customized as i have left them, but it still saves it as an editable pdf and the print to a pdf option still remains the best option...that way we have digital copies internally that are uneditable that can be printed at any time or emailed to the client.
how can i do print to a pdf, based on what i've written above, using snow leopard and acrobat and reader?

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

Use of old iphoto with leopard

I was surprised to see that iphoto was not included with the operating system on my new dual core system running 10.5. My old imac ran panther(g4) and a friend suggested loading iphoto that was included on the panther 10.3 operating system onto my new system which I did. It shows iphoto as a successful download in my applications folder but when I try to run it it doesn't run. Is there an additional program I need to load off the panther operating system or am I crazy to try this as for some reason they are incompatable?

None of the iLife applications are included with any operating system release.
They do come preloaded on all new computers (as far as I know - at least in the US) and are on the restore disks that come with the new system - did your new system come with Leopard preinstalled or did you upgrade it after you got the system? If it came preinstalled then iPhoto should be there - if you did an erase and install to upgrade then you need to load iPhoto and the rest of the iLife applications from the original install disks (use the custom install - install bundled software optin)

Wrong orientation of backsides of landscape pages when printing with Acrobat Pro 9

Since I switched to Acrobat 9 I have the following problem:
Two landscape orientated documents that were printed
identically with Acrobat 8 are printed different with Acrobat 9
(backsides of the document are rotated 180 degrees). The documents
have the following properties:
Landscape doc 1:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 595 842] Rotation: 90 degrees.
Landscape doc 2:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 842 595] Rotation: 0 degrees.
I am using the identical driver. If I check the generated
postscript I see that they have a different orientation (portrait
vs. landscape) and a different viewing orienation (1 0 0 1 + 0 1 -1
0 vs. 0 1 -1 0 + 0 1 -1 0). Anyone an explanation for this
difference?

Hello ArthuvanBeek,
Thank you for your post.
You should know that these forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do
not cover the Acrobat family of desktop products.
Any questions related to the Acrobat family of desktop
products would be best suited in the Acrobat Forums:

Multi-folio app with both portrait and landscape orientation

Can we create a multi-folio app that contains both portrait and landscape orientation folios?

A multi-folio app can have any mix of portrait, landscape, or dual-orientation folios in it. The only requirement is that for a specific folio all articles in it share the same orientation setting.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OS 10.6.8 PRINTING WITH XEROX PHASER. MacPro crashes when printer warms up. Does anyone have a solution? 6360 DN

I've been using Macs since 1984. Have been using Xerox Phaser printers for ten years. But with the last update to OS 10.6.8 last summer, I've had problems with crashing when printing. My MacPro crashes when printing via ethernet prot with Xerox Phaser 6360DN or when the printer warms up. Worked fine with OS 10.6.7. Internet postings suggest this is a common problem for all Mac users with Xerox Phaser printers. Apple put out an update to 10.6.8 to address the problem. I downloaded it but it did not solve the problem. Have tried all the Xerox drivers along with Apple drivers. Can't solve the problem. Xerox says it's an Apple problem. Does anyone KNOW how to solve the problem?

sorry, just saw that i was accidently in the snow leopard section....i reposted under the correct section. here's the link.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12340796#12340796
sorry for the inconvenience, i was looking at other posts using search and didn't realize that i was reading the 10.6 board.
thanks again!!

AcroPro9, snow leopard, "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported"

Hi,
I have AcroPro9.1.3 (and 8 and 7 and Dreamweaver CS3, and probably other stuff too) on Snow Leopard (10.6.1).
I've read about de-installing the Acrobat printer and using "save as Adobe PDF" from the PDF button on the print menu. However, when I try this, I'm told "Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported". Note that this is AcroPro9, not AcroReader. I get the same message when I try any of the other options under the PDF menu on the printer menu in Acrobat. In other applications, tho, (eg powerpoint), the PDF button works fine.
Before the upgrade, the PDF button on the print menu didn't work either (same message), so I used the Adobe printer, but now I can't. I had always assumed that AcroPro was stopping me from using Apple's PDF generator in favour of the Adobe one. But maybe some of my settings are wrong.
I now cannot print to PDF from Acrobat. Help. There are 120 fourth year software engineering students who will appreciate any help I get, as I can then post my recent lecture notes for them.
(What I really want to do is to take my powerpoint slides and print 4-up versions directly. But the PPT idea of 4up wastes a lot of space, so I generate 1up PDF, and the 4up PDF from that using Acrobat. At least, I used to. It was so much easier in the old days with Latex and psnup ...)
-- Mike G.

My current solution is to print from Preview instead (which will let me use the Adobe print facility, unlike Acrobat itself).
In fact, I pretty much have no need for Acrobat at the moment.
Adobe and Apple between them seem to have some real problems with Snow Leopard. I can't get Dreamweaver to run anymore without immediately crashing (yes I looked through the help forums, deleted settings, etc etc). So I'm now looking for a replacement tool for Dreamweaver and will likely use that from now on.
Adobe is not looking very good to me at the moment. YMMV.

Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
Using Acrobat 9.4.6
Tried the same document with:
Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
To do the same.In MS Word:
Goto File -> Print
Select Adobe PDF as printer.
Click on "Printer Properties".
Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
Click Ok and try printing the document
Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.
You can download the patch form: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5330

HT204135 paper selection when printing

On my last computer, when I went to print a job, I was able to communicate with the computer and printer and let it know that I was using a certain quality of paper, whether it be glossy, matte or something like standard. How come that option isn't available for me now on my MAC? I have an Epson R220 printer if that helps.

The option should be available in the print dialog. When you select to print from an application, if you only see a limited view, then maybe you need to press the Show Details button, as shown below.

Tray selection when printing

Hello,
I'm using the folowing code to select a printer I want, and later I use this priner to print a document.
services3 = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
AttributeSet aset3 = new HashAttributeSet();
aset3.add(new PrinterName("\\\\SSBE107208\\" + printerName, null));
services3 = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, aset3);
I actually need to select the right tray in my java program. Is this possible??

hi,
Did u find out how to select the required tray?
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaTray.BOTTOM);
doesnt seem to work..it always selects from the default tray. I am trying to print to Brother HL6050DN printer and must select the bottom tray for printing. If u had found a way to select the tray, can u share it here?

Iphoto with leopard

I want to upgrade my OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 (Leopard). I have a G5 power PC processor (not intel). I have the disc to upgrade. Will I lose all of my photos in iPhoto? Will I still be able to use iPhoto? My computer is not compatible with iLife 11 because I do not have the intel processor required.

You don't have to. When you select the paper size and printer the orientation should be set automatically as displayed in the preview window.

Why would my Mac Pro with Leopard 10.5.1 reboot when I do a safe boot?

I turn on the computer. It bongs. I hold down the shift key and keep it held down. The gray Mac screen appears and then the spinning wheel indicator appears and runs for a few minutes, then the computer just reboots. The computer boots just fine otherwise. I can also boot into single user mode with no problem.
I don't recall trying this when the computer was running 10.4.x, so I can't be sure it's specific to the computer, but my guess is that it's specific to Leopard.
Anyone else try a safe boot under Leopard and had a similar experience?
other keywords: safe mode, extensions off.

Here's what looks like the last portion of the log just before it reboots itself
