Non-Printable Buttons printing unless activated.

I am creating a multi-page interactive pdf that has buttons that I am using to zoom the page to certain sizes; 100%, fit to page, etc.
One group of buttons occupy the same location on the page and as such, require that some of them be hidden until activated. E.g. the default view is fit to page, the zoom to 100% is visible, after click of 100% button, it dissappears and is replaced by fit to page button. The other is a print button that, of course, serves no purpose on an already-printed page.
The issue that I am having is that none of these button are supposed to be printable. They do not have the printable option selected, but they still print if they are not activated. If I go to the page, and even hover over any button without clicking, it prints properly.
As this is a multi-page document with every page having the same buttons (which are on a master page) it is completely feasible that the end user would use the buttons on one page and not on others before printing and seeing them on some pages and not others.
I've tried pretty much everthing and am starting to tear hair out.
I've attached photos to show what I'm talking about

The problem I'm having seems to be with buttons that have hover states or that are hidden until activated. From past experience I think you should be fine if your buttons don't have any of those attributes, but of course I could be wrong.

Non-visible buttons print in interactive PDF

How can I prevent non-visible form elements in an interactive PDF from printing? I have a button that is set to invisible in an interactive PDF based on a radio button being selected. However, when the PDF is printed, the invisible button on the screen prints on paper. How can I keep this invisible element from printing? I am in InD CS6.

This seems to be the thread I'm looking for. I'm building an interactive PDF in InD CS6. The form has lots of "dependancies" or "rules" built into the form, fields which show up depending on how the user fills out previous fields. Is there a way to have ONLY the visible fields print? (All my fields are set to be printable, but I need them to only be printable if they're visible.) The fields are set up currently so that they overlap each other, but only one field within each set of overlapping fields would be visible in the PDF.
If this isn't possible, it seems like the only way to make this PDF work is to move all fields so that nothing overlaps each other and have everything visible. Too bad that would defeat the whole purpose of my 10 page form which was to simplify/clarify a complex and varied process.
I appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.

Non-Printable hyperlinks need to be digitally visible

I'm working on a master catalogue system that was developed using InDesign then developed using DPS into an iPad and iPhone application. I am now going through those indd files and relinking the buttons as hyperlinks to other pages to maintain the same type of usability for pdf use on computers.

Sorry I inadvertantly entered the question before I was done creating it; I was actually editing it while you answered haha. Then it wouldn't let me save the edit.
I need hyperlinking objects to be non-printing, but visible on screen. If I store them on a layer and set the layer to non printing, they all become invisible, both print and digitally. If I convert them to buttons that are non printable and hyperlink the button, it doesn't do anything, because buttons are near useless on interactive PDFs.

Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20

I have had my officejet 4215 all-in-one printer well over a year and it has connected and printed whatever I wanted. Yesterday when I wanted to print an email it would not and the following box popped up: Activation error: Printer not activated, error code 20. Then the next box that popped up said: Printer Error An unknown error occurred while printing.
If I copy the email over to a Microsoft Windows page, then i can print it fine.
Any idea how to fix this so I can print email's like I used to?

What operating system? What email program are you trying to print from?

HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active. How do I fix that?

When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not. I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Detecting non printables characters in a text file

Hi,
I need to remove some non printable characters like tabs, carriage returns, line feeds,.... and so!
i want to do something like
aString.replaceAll(<the non-printable char>, "");

str = str.replaceAll("\\P{Print}+", "");From http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html, \p{print} is printable characters and \P is the negative of \p.

Servlet Displaying Quotation Marks as Non-Printable Characters

I have a servlet which is reading an HTML file and displaying it's contents. My problem is that, in the output, quotation marks in the source html (" and ') are being reproduced as non-printable characters (). Furthermore, the same servlet prints the quotation marks fine under the Linux OS and Apache Web Server, but does not under the Windows (2000) OS and IIS Web Server (running j2sdk-1_3_0_02-win). Any suggestions would be appreciated. Code in question is below. "str" is the line from the file. :
     FileReader freader = new FileReader (filePath);
     BufferedReader breader = new BufferedReader(freader);
     String str = null;
     while ((str = breader.readLine()) != null) {
     document = document + str + "\n";
     freader.close();

Technically, you don't need to add the "\n" in there anyway. Newlines mean nothing to an HTML file if all you're doing is displaying that file. The lack of a carriage return, when the HTML is parsed, is completely irrelevant.
Also, when handling large String concatenations, it's always going to be more efficient to use StringBuffer.
StringBuffer sbDocument = new StringBuffer();
while((str = breader.readLine()) != null)
   sb.append(str);
String document = sbDocument.toString()

Storing a Non Printable -from keyboard- Character in Varchar2 Column

Hi,
I want to store a non-printable character in a varchar2 column. This character should be non-printable -from keyboard- for all character sets -or very difficult to print from keyboard-. It doesn't matter, whether it can be displayed on screen or not. It does matter INSTR function returns the character position of that character. It should be able to import export data without any problem for any NLS specific operating environment. For example, I plan to use chr(1) do you think it's appropriate? I appreciate your helps.
Best Regards,
Salim

What is the business requirement you're trying to satisfy?
If your database character set is based on ASCII, CHR(1) (the Start of Header) character is likely to be transferred between systems without character set conversion. Non-ASCII character sets (i.e. Big5 for Chinese data) don't necessarily share the same control characters, though, and generally won't have the same binary representation of an ASCII control character (so CHR(1) in a non-ASCII based database wouldn't necessarily return the same character that CHR(1) would in an ASCII based database).

Only None printable area in my pdf printings

Hi,
I encounter a problem while trying to print a formular from the FINT transaction.
The result of the printing is a range of non printable characters.
We use for printings the virtual printer PDF1 which works perfectly with others formulars.
I try to use the standard formular but get the same result.
I print the pdf on my local pc and in this case, it works.
I'm a bit disappointed, because i can't see where the problem could come from.
Thanks for you help.
Brice

Hello,
what form is that, what name? Have you examined the form layout/ properties? What language of the form you need and what language is the original one for the form? In my opinion the problem is with the layout - font used or origin language used.
Check that or provide the related details, regards Otto

Is there a way to make a .pdf file a non-printable item?

Hi there,
I'm currently pulling together an online book to sell, but want to publish it in a .pdf format. One thing I am little concerned about is security of my product. Whilst I do understand that the more security I have on an item the more I am likely to encourage illegal sharing of my book (which I am prepared for), I was wondering if there was a way to make my book a non-printable document?
Although I do understand that this is quite unlikely, any ideas about security would be very gratefully recieved.
Thanks
Roz

Acrobat has a built-in security setting that prevents the file from being printed. All of Adobe's appliacations will adhere to this setting when applied, but there are plenty of third-party apps and PDF viewers that will not. For real security you'll need to use DRM technology, which is very expensive.

NON-PRINTABLE PAGES

I have a client concerned about copyright. Is it possible to
make a web page non printable?
Thanks
Mike Shields

It would depend on how your page is built. The trick is to
set everything
to display:none in the print stylesheet. But as others have
pointed out,
this is so easily defeated, it's hardly worth the effort...

Adding non printable notes

Can somebody tell me how I can add help notes to a form. These notes should only help the user to complete the form, they should not be printed.

thank you!

Just a single line in a field is problematic, but if you can separate that line and place it in a different field that it's no problem.
You can just set the entire field to non printable and that's it.

Crystal Report/STRUTS: Error (404) when clicking on Control Buttons (Print, Export, Next, Previous, etc...) on report viewer

Post Author: jwenny
CA Forum: Deployment
Need help badly!!!
We are using the crystal reports plugin for STRUTS.
We are able to display the report in the crystal report viewer. However, when we click any control buttons (print, export, etc...), then we get:
JSPG0036E: Failed to find resource /Report-viewer.jsp
We then moved Report-viewer.jsp to the WebContents folder (root directory) and got a different error when we clicked any control button:
Error: 400 page not found
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? For instance, is there a setting or parameter that needs to be set?
Greatly appreciate any help!

HI,
Whenever we print the viewer does an auto postback, I believe due to this some of the values are getting missed. Moreover we are referring to the viewer and reportdocument object, it seems. So can you try this simple code in an application to see if it helps:
ReportDocument rdoc = new ReportDocument();
rdoc.Load("C:\TASKECrystalReports\Intraday.rpt");
rdoc.SetDatabaseLogon("uid","pwd");
rdoc.SetParameterValues("parameter name","value");
CrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rdoc;
Helps?
Thanks.

When I try to print from web page I get "printer not activated - error code 30", but I can copy text into Word document & printer works.

I am unable to print anything from an internet web page. I continually get "printer not activated, error code- 30" followed by "An unknown error occurred while printing". I can copy the material from the web page, place into a Word document and then print. This just started yesterday and I have no idea why. Would appreciate your advice!
