Not able to print xcelsius dashboards from pdf files.

FYI. In case this has you stumped on how to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf you are not alone.You may have noticed that it is not possible to print your dashboards from Adobe pdf documents. It is not possible to actually print any active embedded flash document from an Adobe pdf document and this behaviour is by design. You can however print your dashboards if they are exported to other formats such as such as MS Word or MS Excel. Xcelsius 2008 does include a 'Print' button which you can add to your dashboards to allow your users to print them.

Need to print Xcelsius dashboard to pdf file

I have a customer that wants to be able to print a displayed dashboard to a pdf file. Does anyone know if there are custom components that can do this or be created to do this? We have suggested they install a print to pdf utility as a selectable printer but they don't want to do that. When a dashboard is displayed they want to be able to print directly to a pdf file.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Pizzaman,
I will mention this to the team. I don't think our customer would want it that way but who knows. Currently they have a Flex framework with our dashboards inside of their framework. They have a print to pdf button for their flex scorecard and feel it should be easy enough for us to create the same thing in our dashboards. We don't use flex in our environment. Their flex stuff is on their servers and our dashboards are on our servers. We may be moving everything to our side of the house soon so a lot of things might change. When I tried to test our dashboards as exported to pdf I ran into security problems with some Adobe parts of the whole thing. We have a lot of Adobe stuff locked down because of security concerns. Being a defense contractor that's a way of life.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, I'm not able to print most of the pdf files that I download. Any suggestions?

I have tried apple support (3 hours on phone), Adobe (1.5 hours on the phone) and Epson (I use the CX11N printer), another 1.5 hours and the proble still exists.
I have tgried unstalling Epson printer and reinstalling, using "print as an image" and all the other things that Adobe suggedts on their sight. I am also using Adobe Reader XI. Any suggestions?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Not able to Check-out/Check-in .pdf file from Client application in SharePoint 2013

Hi,
When I click on .pdf document in document library its getting opened in browser not client application.
I have done all the below settings.
1. Set Opening Documents in the Browser as Open in Client Application.
2. Activated Open Documents in Client Application by Default.
Still .pdf files getting opened in browser.
Then I Tried by doing the below Internet Setting.
In Internet Explorer -> Manage add-ons and disabled Adobe PDF Reader -> Disable (So that the pdf should open in Browser).
Now I am able to Open the document in Client application but its not connected to SharePoint (
I am not able to do Check-in/Check-out/Save file back to SharePoint).
Can Any one Help me with this issue.
Also note Build number and CU :

Thanks in advance.

the option to open a PDF in the browser is based on the Web Application's list of allowed MIME types... it cannot be controlled on a per-library basis.

Not able to print PDF report from Oracle APPS

adcmctl.sh version 115.17.
We have a network printer HP Laserjet 4250 which is configured on our concurrent manager server of RH Linux OS. We are using HP LASERJET 4250 Postscript driver. We are able to print PDF's directly however through CC manager we are not able to print reports in Proper PDF format. Has anyone faced such an issue with Oracle Apps?

I am not able to print a document...told I need to update AIR, but it fails to do so when I try..

Am not able to print a document from a download. Got message saying I need to update AIR, but when I tried, it failed to do so all the way..

None of these things should happen.
Can you take us through what happens, step by step (like "I see an icon for the document on my desktop. I double click on it. A window opens. At the top it says PDF Printing Window. I click OK. A message comes up saying Update for Adobe Air 3.33 needed. I click Download...". This is made up, but the sort of level we need.

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document using internet explorer 11?

About 2 weeks ago, not able to print all pages in a .pdf document stored in a folder (I'm using Windows 7)?
It only prints 1 page then my Brother MFC-J4510DW Printer says "Please put another piece of paper in the feed slot"....the problem is the print setting is set to "manual mode" in Windows 7 rather than "general setting". If you try to change the setting to "general", it will not accept the change.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

I am not able to print or to do a print preview with firefox 5. The problem happens with my Xerox Laser printer and also with Bullzip PDF printer. All prints are white with the printer and empty with the PDF printer.

I have a Phaser 6280DN and Bullzip (PDF virtual printer). They work perfectly with firefox 4 and with other application on my notebook running Windows Vista. But I am not able to print with firefox 5. All prints are white or empty. My notebook is a Dell Vostro 1710 with 3GB RAM and 500GB HD.

Your ISP can only determine that their equipment is responding to ping requests. They can determine nothing about your equipment or if theirs is communicating with it.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable that comes from their equipment and connect it directly to a computer instead of the Extreme. If you can load web pages, it means your Internet connection is working. If not, it's not.
Is your ISP supplying cable Internet? Sometimes it is necessary to reset your ISP's connection by disconnecting their coaxial cable that connects to their modem. Literally unscrew it and leave it detached for a minute or so, then screw it back in again and power up the modem. They call this a "full reset". I don't know how it differs from simply powering down the modem, but I have confirmed that on rare occasions doing this will reset a recalcitrant connection.
... however the internet bars are present on the desktop and also indicated I was connected to the internet.
The Wi-Fi icon "bars" show that a connection to a wireless network has been established. It conveys no information about an Internet connection that lies beyond your local network. Option-click that menu and select "Open Wireless Diagnostics..." Authenticate with your Admin name and password and click the Continue button. Some useful diagnostic information and suggestions will result.

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 can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.

I can only print the current page of downloaded pdf's. Not able to print "all". I'm using a Macbook air.

it says "the document could not be printed". "There were no ages selected to print".
I selected "all". I always tried selecting pages "1-3".
The only choice that works is current page. Very strange.

Hi @BaLaKuMaRaN ,
I see that you are experiencing issues when trying to print a PDF document, the printer isn't listed to select.
I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
The application you are using might require the printer to be set as the default printer and probably doesn't have the ability to search for other printers.
Close the application.
Set the printer as the default printer.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on the printer and left click on Set as default printer.
Restart the computer.
Open the application and try printing again.
Run all the Adobe updates, if you are still having issues. Product updates.
Temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering.
Try printing again.
Let me know which application you are using?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

User not able to print from SAP

Hi guys,
User is not able to print from SAP. The printer is directly connected to his PC. It is not a network printer. The user is able to print at OS level perfectly. IN SP01, it shows in green and the print job has been completed successfully. I can see the output request. Its all fine in SAP. I am not sure why it is not printing from SAP. Please help ?
Thanks

hi venkata,
did you already defined your printer on SAP Server using tcode SPAD ?
What kind of printing you're using ?
My suggest for simplest one is create new output devices.
Type tcode SPAD
Give simple name
Choose SAPWIN for device type (if you're using WIndows clients)
On Access Method tab
Choose Host Spool Access Method F : Front end Printing or G :
For Host Printer fill with __DEFAULT (remember double underscore)
save and test it.
