Issue printing from PowerPoint

I am having an issue when I print from Powerpoint to PDF Printer.
I have Helvetica fonts. I embeded the fonts.
The text that is using the Helevetica fonts is sometimes completely gone (especially when I am using bullet form) and sometimes part of the word is gone.
Can anyone help?

This really isn't a Typography Question as much as an Acrobat Question (assuming you are using Acrobat). In some versions of the Windows OS there is a bug printing to postscript printers (which the Acrobat PDF Virtual Printer is) that causes the issue you mention. There is a hotfix from Microsoft to fix this problem:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=952909
However, if you are seeing this under Windows 7 then something else is going on. I'd suggest you repost in the Acrobat forum if the hotfix is not appropriate for you. When you repost please add details (OS?, version of Acrobat? version of Powerpoint? If Helvetica is TT or PS and vendor.

  • Error printing from PowerPoint to Adobe Acrobat

    I'm having problems printing from PowerPoint 2007 to Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I am geting the error message "Adobe PDF creation cannot be continue because Acrobat is not activated. Acrobat has been activated long ago, and I have created Acrobat files before now with PowerPoint, as well as other programs, but now this is happening.
    Could you help?

    It appears that it might have been some corruption due to having my computer on for the last couple of days. I shut down, let my computer sit for some time, then rebooted. The error has disapeared. I still am curious as to what happened.
    Thanks everyone.

  • Failed to issue print from win7 laptop to Canon MP230 which is connected to mac mini os x 10.8.3

    HI
    I have recently bought a Canon MP230 printer and connected to my Mac Mini 10.8.3 usb port.
    To setup the printer I downloaded the latest driver from canon web site and install all of them
    When I issue print from my mac mini it works fine.
    Next step was to issue print from Windows 7 laptop .
    To do that I intalled Bonjoure in my Windows 7 latpot and set the printer connected to MAc Mini as default printer.
    Upto this point every thing works fine.
    When I tried to issue print from my Windows 7 laptop the printer gets activated the power button start blinking . But it just pass a page from
    input tray to out tary without printing  a single line. I have looked into cups server page at my mac mini. It shows that the job fired from windows
    laptop was done.
    I treid a lot debug it myself . But no luck yet.
    Please help me. I am very upset.
    Thanks

    I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now.  I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one. 

  • Peachtree Classic 12 Issues printing from PDQ

    This is a long-shot but I am looking to see if anyone has any knowledge of Peachtree Classic 12. We have a user that does accounting through Peachtree Classic 12 which resides on a Windows 2000 VM running on VMWare Workstation 11. Every so often she has issues printing from the PDQ module it where it will either not print at all or print in a way that data doesn't fit on the page and gets cut off. Usually we can get it to print again by messing with port settings, power cycling the printer, etc. but what I am stuck on right now is getting it to fit all the data on one page. There is something in the PDQ Printer setup about compression codes and setup codes but I am not sure where to find the correct codes that will compress the data output so that it fits on one page. Any help would be appreciated.

    I had a similar issue. Are the fonts on the pages the same or do they differ?
    My issue was a font, check that.

  • Problem with printing from Powerpoint 2007

    Am printing to pdf from Powerpoint 2007 (using Acrobat 8.1.4), using the Print>Select Printer>Adobe PDF route, but the pdfs that are being created look terrible (distorted, washed out colours, etc) and print even worse. Is there an incompatibility problem, or has a setting gone awry? Thanks in advance.

    It may vary. I have seen some strange results from OFFICE 2007, where there apparently are some hooks built into the MS software. You might try with OFFICE 2003 or OpenOffice. I have used OFFICE 2003 for some things and gotten excellent results, where OFFICE 2007 created issues. I know that it is OFFICE 2007 since I also played with different versions of Acrobat for Office 2007 and got the same strange results, where things were fine with OFFICE 2003. There may be an issue with the
    I just created a new PDF from PPT 2007 and the results were looking fine. For folks to be able to comment more effectively, they need to be able to duplicate what you did and I am not sure that can be done with the information you have provided. Specifically, what job settings file did you use in the Adobe PDF printer, etc.

  • Slow spooling and printing from Powerpoint 2013

    Has anyone experienced slow spooling and printing of PowerPoint documents from PP 2013?
    If I attempt to print the same document from PP2010, it spools and prints normally. It seems that the document background has something to do with slowness.
    I saw an older KB where Microsoft suggested to disable background printing. Disabling background printing makes it even worse.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Does this only happen with PowerPoint documents? What about other Office files? How many machines are affected by this issue?
    Please first check whether you have the same print settings in PowerPoint 2013 and 2010.
    Also, if this is a network printer, please try to add it as a local printer, then try again and see if issue persists.

  • Can't print from PowerPoint 2003 using Acrobat Standard 9.3.4

    Getting an error while trying to print using the PDF icon in PowerPoint (2003): “An error occurred while trying to print to Adobe PDF”.  Cannot print to the Adobe PDF printer either.  Acrobat Standard was removed and re-installed and still cannot print.

    I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

  • Issues printing from Epson R2400.

    I ran Aperture 2.1.2 with an Epson Stylus R2400 printer. I have used this setup without problems in the past. Yet, a few days ago I updated the Epson driver to version x.x (download file from Epson epson12491.dmg). Since then I have not been able to print.
    *Detailed issue*: when I print, the information leaves Aperture and makes it to the queue. It promptly leaves the queue and it never makes it to the printer. The printer show no sign if having received the information (no blinking green light).
    *Additional Information*:
    (1) I can get it to print from Text Edit, but not from Aperture.
    (2) I tried from both computers (Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro, with the same results.
    (3) I have deleted all printers and reset print information.
    (4) I was successful printing with the prior version (yes.. I know! I wonder why I updated!).
    (5) I can print from both computer to other printes (both from within Aperture and from other applications).
    (6) I have tried printing through Firewire directly attached to computer, USB in same conditions and USB through Apple Router. In the past I could print from any if these scenarios.
    I called Epson, and as soon as I was able to print from another app, they disengaged. Any suggestions will be gladly appreciated. Thanks SO much. Martin.

    I can suggest reverting to your older Epson print driver.
    You have to uninstall the printer driver, by running the Epson installer and choosing uninstall.
    Then Install your original printer driver, you should have the original Epson CD.

  • I am having issues printing from ipad via airprint compatible canon 5230- noairprint found

    I just purchased canon mg5230 AirPrint compatible printer. Attepting to print from Keynote and numbers. Message-no airprinters found. Printer does work via wireless laptop. It will print a photo only via Canon app.

    Not sure if this is a typo, but the 5230 is not on the list of airprint printers, but the 5320 is.
    Here is the list.

    If you have the 5320, the from the printer control panel, see if you can update the frimware on the printer.  If you have recently bought it, it was not likely shipped with the current software.

  • Issue printing from laptop to my Officejet 6500 709n.

    I bought an Officejet 6500 709n printer to run on my home network. I have it connected via USB to my desktop HP running Vista 64bit. This computer is connected to my router(Linksys WRT320N)  via ethernet cable. There is also another HP computer connected to the router via ethernet as well. I shared the printer after installing(which went off without a hitch) and it prints fine from both computers. My Sony Vaio(Vista 64bit as well) is connected to the network wirelessly. I can see the printer on the network, but when i try to print it takes a loooooong time to print. a few minutes goes by before it even acknowledges the printing.
     This printer is a replacement for the PSC 950 all in One and everything worked fine before.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am sorry but at least you are not alone.  There are many people experiencing this problem (search this forum for '6500' and you will see pages and pages).  I have tried to help many of them to no avail.
    I am hoping that the engineers are working hard on this and that there will be a firmware update soon.  Sorry.

  • Transparency issues when printing from Illustrator CS5

    I recently designed a flyer for an event that a group of artists and I are doing as a not-for-profit organization that we started, to help clean up the area and promote the arts.
    When I print the file (saved as an AI), the colors are bold, the font is crisp, and everthing overall looks fantastic, apart from this "box" around some of the elements I have created/added to the file.
    When being printed from an exported jpeg format, the boxes are not present, but the image overall is of lesser quality (i know it's from being compressed to a jpeg), and the colors are not as bold.
    I only have a black & white printer, a Brother MFC-7220. I only found out this issue when my curiousity got the best of me, and printed it to see what it'd look like on paper (8.5"x11") before we sent it off to the print shot. This is when I noticed the problem.
    The elements which have this box around them were edited in Photoshop CS 6 (trial), where I had (at least thought), disposed of each elements background, so I could import them into AI as objects, without any background.
    The files were edited in PS in new documents with a transparent background, saved as a PSD, then "opened" in Illustrator where I simply copied the object and pasted into the AI file I was working in. I've tried recreating/re-adding the elements from PS back into AI with the same issue.
    The image also looks perfect on my screen, no boxes whatsoever. I've tried playing around with printer settings, transparency/raster settings, but the only thing I can get close, is the low-quality jpeg file. This problem also happens when exporting to a PDF, which is what I typically use for my printing format from AI.
    Any ideas what's going on here? The pictures linked below show a photo of the AI and the jpeg, and a screencap of my desktop as the AI stands right now. The jpeg export has a few minor changes to it, but are still otherwise the same. The only items that are "supposed" to have this, are the logos for our sponsors in the bottom-left corner.
    I'm stumped, nothing is working that I've read about, and I need to get these printed as soon as I can! Any help would be appreciated - please keep in mind I'm a novice when it comes to AI/PS, I know mostly basics.
    [url=http://s1286.beta.photobucket.com/user/em0te-apparel/library/AI%20Print%20Issue]PICTURES[/url]

    I, too am having the same issue printing from AI CS5. I have edited images in PS CS5 and there is a transparent background. I then placed (File>Place) the PSD files into AI and everything looks good on screen. However, I'm also getting a strange box that appears around my images—though the box itself isn't a solid opaque—it looks more like there's a overprint or screen and so it just shifts the colors behind it. I've tried saving the images as transparent PNGs with the same result. I've also tried playing with my transparency settings in the print dialogue to no avail.
    Strangely this is only occurring when I print at 100% size. I came upon this by happenstance when I accidentally printed a copy at 75% and everything was fine. If anyone has any insights, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

  • Can not print from preview after Lion Update

         I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages.  So I don't think it's a printer/driver error.  Help?

    I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

  • Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

    Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
    a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
    b) No issue printing from Macs
    Tests
    1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
    2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
    3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
    Regards
    Richard
    p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

    This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes.  It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
    I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

  • Can't print from IE 8 64 bit version only

    I am running windows 7, 64 home premium.  I have a HP c4599 all in one printer.  I installed all the latest drivers/software from the HP site. 
    I have no problems printing from any application such as word, excel, opera, etc.  I can even print from IE 8, the 32 bit version.  However, if I attempt to print from IE8, the 64 bit version, when I select print and then printer and then hit print nothing happens.  I don't get any error messages or anything.  Nothing gets put in the queue. 
    Does anyone know what the issue is?  Can you not print from IE 8 64 bit?  It is strange that I have no issues printing from any other program.
    Thanks!

    Had the same problem but fixed by using other designated printer as default but printing to the same printer.
    Could print a test page from new 8500 wireless printer and docs from Excel, Word etc but nothing from IE8 using the print drivers for Windows 7-64bit....decided to use old Officejet 7680 printer and it worked for all situations including IE8......compared both  printer test pages and discovered the environment for the 8500 which didn't work was windows NT x86 and the environment for the 7680 that worked was windows x64.......interestingly the driver names were the same, the config file was the same and the help file was the same, etc  but the data file was different too. The data file for th 8500 was hpw185g3.gpd and the data file for the 7680 was hp7600t.gpd. In other words, I select a 7680 printer software to print to the 8500 hardware.
    Recommend you add a 7600 printer choice (or some other hp model) and compare printer test pages printed from the same printer .....hope it works.
