JTable Print to Adobe Acrobat Error

Question

I'm having trouble printing a jTable using Java 1.5.0_03 to Adobe Acrobat (6.0). Whenever I call print using (assuming proper try/catch statements) either
jTable.print();or
printJob.setPrintable(jTable.getPrintable(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, new MessageFormat("Header"), new MessageFormat("Footer")));
if (printJob.printDialog())
printJob.print();the printed jTable's column headers extend higher than they are supposed to like they were stretched (like when you drag the scroll bar down on your screen and the screen freezes), and effectively cover up parts of the header (the "Header" in this case).
My jTable is setup as follows
XYZ = new DefaultTableModel();
XYZ.addColumn("A");
XYZ.addColumn("B");
jTable = new JTable();
jTable.setModel(XYZ);I think this is an error with how the print function interacts with Adobe Acrobat as I don't have this problem printing to a normal printer. Is there any way to fix this?

Answer 1

Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.
