No Print To File option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)

Q - Where do I find the "Print To File" option in Photoshop Lightroom (Mac OS and Windows)?
A - Photoshop Lightroom does not have the ability to print to file, but some print drivers can access the ability of the operating system to print to file. See
TechNote for further information.

If you use print to file then you get a file that is meant to be send to a printer and that file has all kind of formatting code for that specific printer.
Opening such a file in Firefox or a text editor can only work if you use a text only printer to print the file to, so make sure that such a printer is installed and selected.

Ask for a download link for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition.

I bought an Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Student and Teacher Edition from the campus. It only comes with the product code on the card without the installation CD.
Because the software downloaded from the official website don't accept the serial number registered for the student version, I am wondering where could I download the older version that accept the student serial number.
Thank you.

If the software you downloaded from the Adobe Updates page, what did you mean by this statement?
“Because the software downloaded from the official website don't accept the serial number registered for the student version”

I purrchased Photoshop lightroom 5 student and teacher edition on June 11, 2014. Serial no is 1160-4002-3783-0960-3408-8179 and order no. AD003133459EDU. It was installed on my Mac Pro Book lap top. My computer was stolen from my locker at the universi

I purchased Photoshop Lightroom 5 student and teacher edition on June 11, 2014 and installed it on my Mac Book Pro Lap Top. My computer was recently stolen from my locker at the university. Can I reinstall this software on the new Mac Book Pro that I purchased?

This is a user-to-user forum that is primarily supported by other users such as yourself who have no affiliation with Adobe. It is never a good idea to post your serial number on a public forum. We don't have any access to Adobe records, and your serial number is now available for anyone to use. Bad choice. You can download the latest version of Lightroom 5 from the following website and use your serial number (hopefully) to activate it.

I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista. when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes. the cursor won't enter. same thing with resolution. what did i do? what's wrong?

The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
and click yes in the dialog.

Print module - print to file options

When creating JPEGs using the Export function of the Library module, Lightroom 4 offers you very detailed control over the export options, including automated rules for the folder/filename structure.
When creating JPEGs using "print to file" in the Print module, the controls seem to be much more limited. Notably, the folder/filename has to be specified manually for each print job.
Is there a way to keep (or append to) the original filename when exporting from the Print module, short of typing it in by hand for every single image?
(For context: My print lab requires that submitted files exactly match the print, pixel-for-pixel, for everything to work correctly. If the file doesn't match, their print driver will scale and crop until it does. So, if I use the Library module's Export function and the aspect ratio of the file is different from that of the closest available paper, two edges may get cropped. Or, in other words, I have to pad the image with white bars to fill the paper's aspect ratio if I want it to print the way I want it to. The Print module creates files that are perfect for my purposes. But, since I can't figure out how to get it to keep the filename, the back print data on the paper copies- which I will need 8 years later to find the original when a re-print is ordered- is useless.)

Thanks Effeegee. At your suggestion, I tried LR/Mogrify + ImageMagick and, with a bit of tweaking, it does exactly what I need (and far more efficiently than LR4 Print).
For other users' reference, the LR/Mogrify configuration to do this is:
In Lightroom Library -> Export, LR/Mogrify adds "Post-Process Actions". Turn on "Background Canvas" and "Compress to file size".
Under the regular "Image Sizing" control, turn on "Resize to Fit: Dimensions" and set the paper size (long side first) and printer resolution. This resizes the image to fit within the specified paper size.
Under "Mogrify Canvas", set the paper size again (in pixels, long side first), and turn on "Adjust for landscape/portrait". This pads the image with blank borders to exactly fill the specified paper size.
Note that if the short side is specified first, LR/Mogrify sometimes pads on all sides....
To minimize additional JPEG artefacts, I suspect that under Lightroom export's "File Settings" the JPEG quality should be 100 (i.e. negligible loss) and the final compression should be done only after all post-process actions, i.e. use LR/Mogrify's "Compress to given file size". (But don't quote me on that as I haven't traced the actual code path.)

Can't change printing prefs (encoding:binary) in Photoshop CS3 Mac Intel

Hi
My version of Photoshop is in German, so I don't know if the translation is correct...
If I open the print preview window (File>Print) and change the print encoding to JPEG, it switches it back to Binary when I press "finish" or "print...". I must be able to change this, printing using binary is not an option.
This issue exists since we switched to Intel Macs. The problem appears on a fresh mac os x 10.5.6 installation with just Photoshop installed. And it's only on Intel Macs, on PPC Macs we do not have this problem.
I called the hotline and they confirmed this issue, but couldn't help me because I got an MLP-license.

What can I do? Thanks for your help!
Manuel

Jim, I have been on the phone with Adobe support since I posted my last message (a long time!) The tech agent just discovered the option in Photoshop preferences and I came back to post the solution to the problem.
If I had waited for your answer I would have saved a lot of time!
Thank you for responding. Hopefully if someone else runs into it they will find this thread.

.qlt file gives 415 error on mac, not on Windows

I encoded H.264 files (hinted for streaming) and placed them on my server (OSX server 10.3). From Mac: rtsp://path/file.mov works fine. Also http://path/file.mov works fine om Mac.
To make it more compatible I generated .qtl file, both from Quicktime Pro and texteditor. Same result.
When I paste the url in the browser: http://path/file.qtl, it performes OK on Windows 2000, but in Safari and Firefox(Mac) I get the Q sign and after a short while error 415, unsupported media type.
Also tried a javascript, xml, etc,but get the same error on Mac.
Have no idea what to do. The files in themselves stream OK in very good quality (H264 is really good, 300 kbs) Example: rtsp://212.45.53.76/aanbidding/vineyard/LW1Introductie.mov
Example of the qtl file: http://212.45.53.76/aanbidding/vineyard/LW_1.qtl

Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, my Mac crashes and I get a "Crash Reporter" icon. Any suggestions?

Every time that I try to print a page from the internet, My Mac (Maverick 10.9.4) crashes and I see a "Crash Reporter" icon. Any suggestions?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Sharing files between mac os and windows on same computer???

I am going to get a new Intel based mac. Is there a way to share files between the mac and the windows os?
Example: I would like to share my iTunes music library from mac os so it is also available in Windows iTunes.
Is there a way to do this without having to mirror the entire library within Windows?
Thanks!!!!

It also depends on how you want Windows to be working on your PC - do you want to have a dual boot system (i.e. you choose whether you want to use OS X or Windows when you turn the computer on) or do you want to use a 'virtualization' program like Parallels (i.e. Windows loads up as a window on your OS X desktop).
Depending on how you want to do things will affect the ease of integration between OS X and Windows. Via the virtualization route, what you want to do can be done in a couple of clicks - you go into network neighbourhood (in Windows) and set up a Network shortcut to the files you want. You can do the same trick via OS X using the 'Network' functionality in Finder.
