Objects preivew fine but print incorrectly--same problem when exporting

I had a PDF that was created in AutoCAD that I then took into Illustrator. I made all of my changes, went to print, and noticed that for some reason random lines would drop off of my printout, even though they appeared fine in the preview menu! And these nonprinting areas change, too--I've made several test prints and they seem to jump around randomly.
I found this artcile (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/322/322680.html) which led me to discover that in Illustrator if I go to File > Print > Advanced and select High Resolution from the Preset drop down menu my documents print they way I want them to. Great, accept for the fact that I need to export them into another file type for the project I'm working on, which starts the problem all over again. Because no matter what I select--EPS, JPG, PNG--whenever I bring the item into Photoshop and try to print I get the SAME PROBLEM. Only this time there's no helpful print menu setting to navigate.
My document is literally a bunch of black lines and a few squares of color with a 50% opacity. However, I've tried exporting versions with no color in case the opacity was screwing things up, but I keep having the same problem, color or no.
What the heck is going on? I've never had a problem like this before and I can't find a solution anywhere!

I'm at a loss here. I just printed your file from Illustrator and intentionally chose "low resolution" in the print dialoge to see if my printer would duplicate what you describe. Well it didn't, it printed out just fine and that was reduced to fit on 8.5 x 11" paper. Therefore I believe it must be your printer not being able to image those fine lines. My printer is a 600dpi laser by HP, nothing special really but it was able to image all the lines.
Best thing I can suggest therefore is to manually increase the thickness of those lines and hope PS can print them.

    We have a 10 person office - all either use Acrobat XI or Reader XI.  One person is on Windows 7.  The rest are on Windows 8 (not 8.1).  I say this because I thought it was a Windows 8 issue, but having the same problems on the Windows 7 machine. We are all having problems opening pdf's sent to us from other firms. This has increased in frequency over the past two months. We've checked with the various firms, and their other clients are not having problems. Some pdfs open but with a lot of missing content and strange formatting, others won't open at all.  There are different error messaged depending upon the doc.  Some are regarding the fonts, for example "can't extract the embedded font...."  Others are "insufficient data" errors.  There are more, but for purposes of keeping this short, I won't include them.  Another unrelated issue is that we are having trouble printing excel files to pdf.  The files end up with bad formatting.  I've worked with adobe "chat" support, our IT consultants with no resolution.  I also haven't found any similar "known issue" online  Would very much appreciate any assistance.  Thank you

    The font embedding can be a problem if not done and you are trying to view the PDF and do not have the font on your machine. Acrobat will often try to find a replacement, but it is not always a good choice. Sometimes the "Use Local Fonts" button can be changed in state to resolve some of the viewing issues.
    If you are trying to copy or export info, then it is important that you have the fonts on your system. Otherwise, the message you are getting about embedded fonts would not be showing up.
    As for Excel formatting, be sure that the Adobe PDF printer is selected in the printer screen before you look for the paging and formatting of the file. In most OFFICE programs, if you change the printer the application will reflow the document to best match the printer (called "using printer metrics"). So check before you create the PDF that the layout is correct.

  • I'm having some problems wiht Firefox, for example; Youtube isn't loading right, Facebook won't let me send messages, search up people, and this website i made wont load right also. I've re-installed and updated it but still the same problems. Any help?

    Because I know enough to be dangerous...  I was trying to extend the two outside columns down....  Instead of just using faux columns which I have fixed since I posted the question.
    The other link problem is the left sidebar links.  When you go to the event photos page I have a repeat of the sidebar links that are on the newsletter page.  I used named anchors on the newsletter page to link to the particular article.  From the Event Photos page the links look like this:
    <a href="1112Visions_Iss1.html/#puzzle" target="_self">[Puzzle]</a>
    The problem I am having is that some of these go to the newsletter page and the anchor and some do not (I get an error message saying it  can't find the page).  To add to the problem is that when we choose say the President's Message, when it goes to the newsletter page and the correct anchor, the newsletter page is missing all the links to the graphics... the photos are missing the graphic for the faux columns is missing.  It makes no sense.  When I preview the newsletter page from Dreamweaver everything shows up fine.
    I do not know if all of this is being caused because I haven't posted this stuff to the site or what.  I've tried re-booting both the browser and Dreamweaver, dumping the cache and still the same nonsense.
    Got any ideas?

    Look at the highlighted copy of your Help > About Mozilla Firefox image attached below this message.
    <u>'''Reset general user-agent'''</u>
    -In Firefox, type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.

    Sorry I gave this a 'this helped me' but after a long struggle I found some ticked box somewhere from some unauthorised chrome extension blaaa....... the link you gave was great, not only did it confirm all the bad things google is supposed to be up to it provided a better browser. Cheers man.
    Anyone who find this; I disabled all extension in chrome. I then searched the word proxy in the settings section. A button came up, "change proxy settings" I clicked on it. Earlier it was greyed out as an extension was interefering.. It brought up a box with my own settings from my computer. Then I clicked LAN settings, then unchecked the 'Use a proxy server' button.
    P.S. If you're using chrome, bail, and dowload Komodo Dragon. It's virtually identical, but you're not tracked, and you can use chrome extensions, and you can quickily transfer your chrome preferences into it.

  • Hi, i am using iphone4s.. 2 days ago i had a problem with wifi.. button greyed out, it was suggested to keep phone in freezer, worked temporarily and i updeted to ios7.1 but still facing same problem.. wht to do? cant afford to throw off :/ huhh..

    well, you know how it is - glitches that usually resolve with a hard reset etc
    then a restore. then a factory restore....then ..... nothing fixes so I try the next step with apple online - fill out my serial number and find it is a couple of weeks out of date - and then with the holidays who has time to get to the apple store? this is my second 4s handset as it is - first one the glass cracked from L to R without any impact/damage etc - they changed it out automatically because it's a 'known fault' apparently - so technically, this handset is only 6 months old - but warranty is from original purchase date -
    never imagined it would turn out to be a warranty issue with the phone - and hey maybe when I get a chance to go to the apple store they'll be sympathetic, but I won't be able to get there till at least Jan 4th as it is. On the other hand, another iOS update might resolve the issue - but how long till that release? at the moment I'm having to use my old 3gs for wifi and 4s for phone!!!

    Look out for "japiohelp".
    In short:

    b) enter "netsh winsock reset" and pres enter
    c) reboot the computer

    i have ipad 2 16gb wifi, since 3 months it started to autorestart and crash out of games and apps, more than 20 times aday- tried to restore-install as new ipad- soft and hard reset-, updated to the latest 7.0.4 but still the same problem
    plz help....

    Vinayaka-
    After all you've tried, Dah*veed is probably right about needing warranty assistance.
    But first check to be sure Settings-Airplane Mode is set to OFF, and Settings-WiFi-WiFi is set to ON.
    Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds.  Then reset the iPad's network.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings.  You will need to reconnect to your WiFi.

  • TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

    i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site  to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
    i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now
    does anyone have a sollution?

    Type '''about:support''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    Scroll down almost to the bottom of that listing and see if you have '''user.js Preferences''' just above the '''''Graphics''''' category.
    If you do have that, click on '''user.js file''' in this sentence. <br />
    ''Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.''
    Does that "different homepage" appear in that user.js file?

  • I use LabVIEW 7.1 but I have some problem when, I use LabVEW to read the data from serial communication

    I use LabVIEW 7.1 but I have some problem when, I use LabVEW to read the data from serial communication.
    I use LabVIEW to read the data from serial communication then, i open the example (.vi) from Serial Communication - Advanced Serial Write and Read  from LabVIEW Example. BUT it have some error message that : Error - 1073807202 occured  at property node in visa configure serial port (instr).vi -> advance serial write and read .vi
    this error code is undefined. no one has provide a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
    I don't know why? please help me. thank you.

    When I copy that code into "Explain Error" I get: "VISA:  (Hex 0xBFFF009E) A code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded."
    You may have a bad install of VISA or the wrong version of VISA loaded. Try re-installing VISA. You can get the latest version from the NI support site: http://digital.ni.com/softlib.nsf/webcategories/85256410006C055586256BBB002C0E91?opendocument&node=1....

  • Problem when exporting Universe to Enterprise

    Hi All,
    I am facing problem when exporting universe to enterprise. I am getting the following error.
    "You do not have the right to add objects to the folder /webi universes" .
    1) I tried logging with admin account still getting the same error.
    2) I tried adding my user id to admin group but still has the same problem.
    I did not make any new changes to security. Do not know what might be the reason. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Environment: BOXI 3.1, windows server 2003.
    Thanks and Regards
    Sudharsan.

    Hi Prasanna,
    1) I checked the rights on universes for Administartors and Everyone for webi universes folder :
    Universe Security:
          a) Administartors:  Private
          b) Everyone has public.
    User Securtiy:
          a) Administrator : has full access
          b) Everyone : No access
    2) I tried adding my user id to admin group and exported it, but no luck. I also brought a new user into the system (thinking that i might have some restrictions some where)  and added him to admin group and tried with his user id too but still has same problem.
    Thanks
    Sudharsan.
