Not able to print pdf files into landscape orientation

I am working on a R12 imnplementaion where I have to print labels on Zebra printer in landscape orientation using acroread through PASTA printing. Oracle Application uses xml publisher to generate these pdfs.  All the printouts come in portrait orientation even I choose landscape.  I have used acroread version 5 and 9.3.3. Can someone help me on this? I have used below syntaxes:
I was using
acroread -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -landscape BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PS |lp -d label
and It was not working.
I found a hit on metalink and it says that we should not use –pairs in the command line.  If I remove –pairs, then we can’t pass {inline} {outline} parameters.  Then I have tried all the below commands:
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript  -landscape |lp -d label
cat BTLYOMSHIPLABEL_3479320_1.PDF |acroread -toPostScript  -shrink -landscape |lp -d label
Thanks & Regards

Hi Swadesh,
Try using the -rotateAndCenter option.
cat A.pdf | acroread -toPostScript -shrink -rotateAndCenter | lp -d <PRINTERr>
OR
acroread  -toPostScript -pairs -shrink -rotateAndCenter A.pdf - | lp -d <PRINTER>
Let me know if this helps.
Regards,
Rishi

  • PDF PROBLEMS!  Not able to download PDF files into Safari anymore?!?

    I was always able to download PDF files into Adobe Reader from the internet. I can't download them anymore...My MacBook keeps trying to load and reload the page, but never does it. I downloaded the most recent Adobe Reader 9, but this did not fix the problem. I can open PDF files I have saved, but can' t download them in Safari. Any ideas? Thanks-

    Hi Jes,
    I get an error message saying
    "The page cannot be found"
    infact when i hover the mouse over the link i am able to see the correct path and the correct correct values as follows
    schema.procedure?V=04&C=001
    but when i click on it, i get the error as above.
    i am not sure whether it is any permissions issue in linux. or is the procedure not getting executed properly at all.
    but iam able to read those pdfs and insert them into an oracle table.
    but just not able to download them back again.
    but exactly the same code and same tables etc work in windows.
    Thanks,
    Philip.

  • Single user is not able to print PDF files.

    I have the following situation at our organisation for one of our users.
    Printer:
    Kyocera FS1030D
    Kyocera KM-C3225
    I have one user that is not able to print any PDF files in our network. (User Chris)
    Printing a Word document or Notepad works fine.
    To be specific:
    The user is mainly using Windows 7 Pro 64 bits.
    We also have a Citrix environment.
    When this user is trying to print a PDF file we follow the following steps:
    Open any PDF file.
    Go to: File -> Print -> Select the printer to use.
    Hit Print button.
    Now the pop up comes up loading the PDF file to be printed. (The percentage bar)
    After this bar disappears nothing happens.
    The print que does not show on the bottom right hand of the screen.
    If you open the printer que there is no document that needs to be printed.
    We tested printing a PDF file on a different computer with user account Chris, but no success.
    We tested printing a PDF file on the same computer with another user account, success.
    We tested printing a PDF file in our Citrix environment (still on Chris his pc), success.
    So as a wrap up: Printing with another user account works fine. The issue seems to be located in the user profile, but is not specific to a single computer.
    We tested the following.
    Print as Image setting.
    Remove the print drivers and reinstalled them.
    Renamed the Windows folders where the drivers are installed.
    Removed Adobe Acrobat version 9 and installed version 10.
    Any suggestions are welcome.

    Hi Bill@VT,
    Thanks for your reply. I have checked and the current installed version is 10.1.4. I tried updating but I get the message that the there are no new updates available.
    Also I tried to find a 64 bits download but unfortunately I cannot find a 64 Bits install file.

  • I am not able to print pdf file from coursesmart website. i disabled flash plugin and only images are on the pages. When i preview, i only see blank page...help

    i disabled flash plugin.
    now i open site - http://www.coursesmart.com/9780495797494/2
    page contains images.When i click on print preview button, i cant see anything.... also i tried all pdf plugins and extensions, but none help to convert/print page in pdf. please help. how can i print whole page to pdf?

    Doesn't work in Google Chrome either.
    Looks that the page has a lot of protection measures (context menu is disabled) and DIVs that overlay each other, so it is possible that the print routine only sees an empty DIV and not the image or the real page.<br />
    That big image consists of two parts as you can see via Tools > Page Info > Media and the inspector.

  • Not able to open pdf file

    I am not able to open PDF file of size greater than 700 Mb in my surface tab?

    Hi there @Delta0  and welcome to the community!
    I understand you can scan however, you cannot open up the PDF file afterwards.
    Please let me know which operating system you are running and I will certainly look into this issue for you.
    Which Windows Operating System am I running?

    In the meantime, try updating Adobe to see if that helps.

  • Not able to open PDF files

    Not able to open PDF files. Before I switched to Lion OS, clicking on a pdf would automatically open it in Adobe Reader. Now I either get a black page or I get just the first page of the document but still in Safari. I would like the pdf to open Adobe Reader. I have tried some of the suggestions in other threads such as deleting all PDF items from Library/Internet Plug-Ins. That did not work.

    Hi ,
    Make sure to back up your Mac before messing around with any system files.
    Press and hold COMMAND + TAB to bring up your Mac’s application switcher, then keep tapping the TAB key while still holding down the COMMAND key until the selector lands on Finder. When it does, go ahead and release the COMMAND and TAB keys.
    Click on the Go menu at the top of the screen, select “Go to folder…” then copy and paste this folder “path” into the pop-up window:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    A new folder window will appear, showing a list of all the browser plug-ins installed in Safari—and at the very top (if the list is sorted alphabetically), you should see one or more files labeled “AdobePDFViewer.” Drag the old Adobe plug-ins into the Trash, then quit and restart Safari.
    Try opening a PDF in Safari again—and yes, it should work, using Safari’s own “native” PDF reader.
    Now, want to open PDFs in Safari using a fresh Adobe PDF Viewer plug-in? Try this:
    Visit this page to download and install the latest (and free) version of Adobe Reader.
    Quit and re-launch Safari, then open a PDF file directly in the browser; when you do, the PDF should open using your new Adobe Reader plug-in.

  • I'm not able to open PDF files in Adobe Reader XI.

    I recently updated to Adobe Reader XI and now I can't open any of my PDF documents or PDF e-mail attachments.  When I click on a document I now get a window that asks if I want to allow this file to open.  I click yes and get a monstrousity the likes I've never seen.  It blacks out my screen for a couple seconds and then I get a mixture of my desktop, task bar, and a window wanting to know if I want to open this with Protected Mode disabled.  It only fills 3/4 of the screen, the items all all blown-up in size, and are distorted.  In playing with this I have gotten notes that I have an "Incompatable Application" and "Acrobat failed to connect to a DDS Server".  On occasion I will get an Adobe Reader screen that is completely greyed out with no content in it and after a couple of seconds it goes off.  Other times I got the window about Protected Mode and I've clicked on to disable it but that doesn't work either.  I removed Adobe Reader XI and re-installed Adobe Reader X and I still have the same problem which I did not have before.  I 'm running Windows 7 Professional and have McAfee anti-virus, which I have disbled on one occasion during download and that I still had the same problem.  I went to program files to find the End User License Agreement and try to see if I needed to click on 'Accept" but it tells me the file does not exist.  I even tried using System Restore to take me back to before I did the upgrade to Adobe Reader XI and I still have this problem.  I'm at the end of my knowledge level and because these files are needed in my business I'm only able to operate at about 50%.

  • Not able to import .motn files into FCP

    For some reason I'm not able to import .motn files into FCP. While in FCP, I use "send to motion" and uncheck the embed box. After motion opens and I add my motion content, I get the following error when trying to import the .motn file back into FCP "File Error: 1 files(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown". What is strange is that I'm able to create another test FCP project with different media, and everything works fine. All tests and media are done on the same drive.
    I'm using the latest updates of everything FCP 5.0.4 and motion 2.0.1
    Any ideas anybody?
    Thanks!

    Hi,am not able to open PDF Files in Mozilla Firefox without using plugins...I need Solution

    Hello,
    Please see the support article below for full information on viewing PDF in Firefox:
    [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]]
    If you want to use Firefox's built in PDF viewer (i.e. not a plugin) then you will need to ensure that any PDF plugins are uninstalled from Firefox and that 'Preview in Firefox' is selected as the Action for PDF files (see screenshot below).
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
