Issues with printing PDF from Adobe FrameMaker 6.0p405

Hi All,
I use Adobe FrameMaker 6.0p405 and Adobe Distiller 6.0. The formatting gets all messed up when ever I generate a PDF. Some of the issues that I face are:
Some icons like "Note", "Warning", and so on do not appear consistently
Header and footer information does not appear consistently
Step numbers do not appear consistently
Headings do not appear consistently
I tried the following troubleshooting steps:
Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe FrameMaker 6.0p405
Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat 6.0.
The issue reappears even after performing the above steps. Any help in fixing this is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Jeff! It worked like a charm!
I use WinXP SP2.
For those of you looking for the hotfix, here it is:

  • Issues with printing PDF files from an ADOBE application

    When printing PDF files from an Adobe application, some of the characters are lost and do not print. What can I do?

  • Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

    A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
    I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
    What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
    But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
    I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
    What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
    Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
    I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
    I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
    I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
    I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
    I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
    I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Ann,
    A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
    The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
    Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
    Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader

    Hey gang-
    Just purchased a new Brother MFC-9420CN color laser printer. Works great- with one exception.
    I am unable to print any PDFs with it from Adobe Reader. But note this: The very same PDFs print fine using Preview! I initially discovered this problem using Adobe Reader 7.0.5, so I downloaded and installed the latest Adobe Reader 8.1. No Help. I also reinstalled the latest Brother Drivers- no help.
    I then went into Printer Setup Utility and did the Reset Printing System- re-added all Printers- but no help. I am running OS 10.4.9 on a G5 iMac.
    I've seen this mentioned elsewhere including here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2643378&#2643378
    Thoughts on how to fix this?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    When you select print from the menu bar a print
    window opens. Verify that the correct printer is
    selected. Adobe will over ride some defaults and put
    in itself. Let me know if this didn't work.
    Thanks Glynn, but the correct printer is indeed selected. This is a weird one!
    FWIW, here is my CUPS error log:

  • Major Issues with printing Images from applet

    Hi,
    I am currently working on an automated report generation software. The Project Goal is simple, all i need to do is to connect to Access Database, and get all the information onto the applet in an arranged format and display it on the webpage. Now here is the deal... The applet will only be used on a single local machine, (Why Applet?? because i need to print the report... applet viewer will also do). I am able to make the connection to the database from the applet viewer, but fail miserably if i try to do it from Internet Explorer. So i gave up on the IE. The major problem is, on applet i have a ImageViewer (I am using "symantec.itools.multimedia.ImageViewer", if you have an alternative that works then please lemme know). I have a method that sets diffrent Images in the Imageviewer, depending upon what record is being dispalyed. In otherwords, every record has an image associated to it. and i want to display the Image with the data.
    Now when i run the applet in appletviewer, it works perfect, BUT.... when i go to print it (using the print in the appletviewer's menu), It print everything EXCEPT the Image..... The Image happens to the main peice of Information, so rest of the code is worthless unless the image is displayed...
    Please help me with this project. I have failed many times trying to print it. If you need the code please email me @ [email protected] i will send the code to you, with a sample database.
    Please help

  • PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Pro not printing with Yosemite

    I am unable to print PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.0.09 since installing Yosemite 10.10. I have been check-marking "print as image," which worked previous to Yosemite.
    I am now printing via the Apple Preview, but despite selecting 1 copy, it is printing 10 of everything.

    Hi,
    IO must say, it seems to work now without me having to tick the Print as Image box.
    This is my version:

  • How can I create one pdf from a FrameMaker Book with mixed page sizes.

    Looking for an easier way to create one pdf from a FrameMaker book that has files with different pages sizes; letter and tabloid.
    So far, I have not been able to find a way to set up the Adobe PDF printer or Distiller to read the page size from the source files in the book and then create one pdf with the appropriate page sizes based on the file sizes in the FrameMaker book. I can create a pdf of the book using a multi-step process where I create a pdf for each page size and then combine them into one file. This is a lot of work.
    Is there a way to set the Adobe PDF printer where it reads page size from the source files and then creates one pdf with a mixed page sizes?
    Using FrameMaker 7 and 10 and Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks for any suggestions

  • Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

    Good Morning,
    I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old.  Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged.  It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with.  I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there.  I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
    The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
    I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
    Thank You
    Brian Dougherty

    Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
    Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
    There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
    You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

  • I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

    I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

    Hello David and Nicole
    I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
    I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
    I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
    Thanks

  • HELP! Why can't I print PDFs from my applications?

    For over a year I've used Adobe Pro to "print" PDFs from AutoCAD LT (a drafting program). This allows me to perform design/drafting services for long distance clients and email them PDF "prints" of drawings for them to review, print, and use. It has worked beautifully...until this week. Now whenever I go to print a PDF from AutoCAD (or even other Windows applicacations like Word) it gives me an error telling me to change the Advanced printer preferences to "print directly to printer". When I go into the Adobe printer preferences and select this option. and return to print the PDF, selecting the print command causes AutoCAD to hang indefinitely and eventually crash when I try to cancel the print command. This behavor is the same inside other Windows applications like Word. So I've concluded that the issue is inside Adobe or my computer's Adobe "printer" settings. I've spent 5-6 hours unistalling a reinstalling Adobe several times in hopes to get back to whatever settings that worked before...to no success.
    The last piece to the puzzles is that I was on vacation last week. Instead of the desktop computer in my office that I typically use, I took my old laptop. I only have one license of Adobe Pro. Even though I hadn't used it for months on the laptop, it worked fine creating PDFs from AutoCAD. My question is: did using Adobe on my laptop deactivate the Adobe loaded on my desktop? And if so, why hasn't deactivating and uninstalling the Adobe Pro on my laptop, and unistalling/reinstalling/activating the Adobe Pro on my desktop, fixed the problem?
    I'm at my wits' end...any feedback/advice would be much appreciated!

    In WORD (Sorry I don't have Autocad), can you go to the FILE>Print and print to the Adobe PDF printer with no problem? If not, can you select print-to-file and then open the file in Distiller to complete the conversion? If the latter works, it sounds like you may have disabled AcroTray, a necessary part of the printing process.

  • When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF?

    When saving a PDF from a FrameMaker book, is it possible to set document filenames as bookmarks in the PDF? Currently when I have a Framemaker book that I want to save as a PDF, I choose Save Book As and then choose PDF for the file format. A dialog box comes up in which I can choose the Bookmarks tab and choose which tagged content I want to be made into bookmarks in the PDF file. What if I would rather have the filename of a document rather than the chapter title be a bookmark in the PDF? Is that possible? Where would I choose that option? Thanks!

    There are two ways that you could do this. You can either use postscript text frames and enter the correct pdfmark entries to show the file name with the corresponding actions (i.e. where to go in the PDF) or you can use hidden text in FM and the "Filename (Short) " variable in a unique paratag to be picked up by FM's bookmark creation.
    To go the pdfmark route, see http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/pdf/pdfmark_primer.pdf for details and also consult the Adobe Pdfmark Reference manual (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdfmark_reference.pdf).
    The hidden text route would use FM's Color Views to specify a colour as Invisible. This will make the content visually disappear from the screen (and any output), but FM will still be able to read the contents of any text that is coloured with the Invisible colour(s).
    1. Pick or create a colour that you want to be invisible. [Magenta is usually a good bet and stands out visually].
    2. Set that colour to be invisible in View 1 and visible in View 6. [you can use the shortcut <esc> v 1 and <esc> v 6 to toggle between the views.]
    3. Create a paratag to use for the filename and set the font colour to use the invisible colour.
    3. In the title of each chapter file, drop an anchored frame that is set to be outside of the text frame [so it won't interfere with any other content].
    4. In that AFrame, insert a text frame and use the invisible paratag defined in step 3.
    5. Insert the Filename (Short) variable in that text frame.
    6. Repeat steps for all files to be included in the bookmarks.
    When creating the PDF bookmarks, select only the paratag used for the invisible colour.
    Don't forget to toggle the View to be invisible (i.e. <esc> v 1  - this also works at the book level for all files in the book).

  • Acrobat 9 Pro issues with printing and now updating  !!! :(

    hello
    I had an issues with printing from my gmail account or from windows live mail
    so I made a complete re-installation
    now I am stuck with version 9.3.0 and when I check for updates I get a message
    UPDATER IS ALREADY RUNNING
    only... it's not running and nothing is updating !
    I made a restart... just in case... it did not change anything
    as to the printing issue, in case some of you have met it and cleared it...(hope)
    this was with version 9.5.0
    I get no error message but no pdf is created, only a text document with this :
    %%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
    %%[Page: 1]%%
    72gmvi not found, using Courier.
    44dcmta not found, using Courier.

    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    not a good start for my week... I hope yours is nicer
    I'm running Win7 Ultimate x64

    thanks Mylenium
    the font association problem is something recent though, since I used acrobat to print mails directly from my gmail account previously...
    it's galling but I installed a free pdf printer which does the job, I needed copies of these mails urgently !
    as to the update issue, I see no aum.exe, msiexec.exe or setup.exe running... but that's quite above my head... do I look for those exact processes or are they generic names for processes ?
    does my question make sense ????

  • Memory full error with printing pdf

    Occasionally I get a memory full error with printing pdf (Cmd-P - then use save PDF on lower left dialog screen). This is when just printing a few pages.
    Why Am I getting this and how can I fix this?

    I am not sure why but I have noticed some Adobe products when used to convert html documents (web pages) to pdf, can produce very large files.
    Try using Apple's Preview to see if those 'memory full' messages still occur.
    I am presuming you have plenty of free hard drive space and also sufficient RAM so suggesting it is an application bug about memory that is at issue and not actually a lack of physical memory.

  • I have an issue with some PDF documents   some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying on iPhones, iPad 2s

    Hi,
    I have an issue with some PDF documents & some MS Office documents, notably MS Word when received in eMail as attachments not displaying properly on iPhones, iPad 2s & new iPads?
    PDF docs - areas of the doc only show as grey splotches regardles of viewer
    MS Word Docs -
    inserted graphics don't display at all,
    tables & lists especially with borders are broken &
    tables & lists missing the borders &
    tables & lists missing the 1st 1-2 lines of the lists/tables.
    This is replicated on iPhone 4s, iPhone 4Ss, iPad 2s, iPad new (x2)
    It certainly happens in iOS 5.1.1 & iOS 5.1
    We believe it all worked aok in iOS 5.0.1(?) & prior
    There is no problems reading/seeing these PDF & Word docs on anything other than iDevices.
    This is rather critical for us & if not quickly fixed/rectified will prevent us from further purchases of these devices
    Rolling back to iOS 5.0.1 or prior I believe isn't possible because of the BaseBand update(?) & isn't much of an option because of the quite noticeable Battery/Charging/WiFi improvements in 5.1 & 5.1.1

    Hi,
    I logged a call with AppleCare & have since had explained why this occurs (some time ago)
    I'll try to explain what was indicated to me.
    iOS has a limited Font Set & this affects what PDFs can display. You need to use iOS supported fonts in your PDFs to see/read them properly  
    These supported fonts are indicated here => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4980
    Regards MS office docs, iOS doesn't have much of an API to work with MS Office documents at all so is stuck with 3rd Party Apps to try to do it.
    Unfortunately Mail in/on iOS uses the API to attempt to open/use MS Office attachments unless you tell it to use an App to open the attachment.
    I have had success opening & reading MS office docs now with CloudOn, but find it slow & very awkward to use.
    Not too sure if this helps others, but at least it explains why this is occurring
