On Mac OSX: Acrobat printing of Office documents adds border!

Hi
On Windows, when I print a Powerpoint or Word document with the Create PDF command, it does not add any border on the printed version. For example, if a slide had a yellow background, then the entire printed page in the PDF version would be yellow too.
But in Mac OSX 10.5.4 (latest Leopard) using Office 2008, when I print a Powerpoint, it still adds the white border.
How can I prevent this on OSX? I have tried to look at settings but no option seems to be available.
Thanks!

Have no idea if you are talking about Acrobat or Reader. There is no Adobe program. In any case, do a repair to the application and see if that helps.

  • Printing Microsoft Office documents

    I migrated from an iMac 24" with Snow Leopard to an iMac 27" with Mountain Lion. The result is that I cannot print Microsoft Office documents, nor Open Office, nor iWork documents, nor Adobe acrobat professional documents. All the programs crash and close suddenly when I try, even before the "choose printer" frame
    The only way is to open the documents with the application "Anteprima" (i do not know the english  name, could be Preview?) but this is a cumbersome procedure and altering the original formats.
    Does anybody else have the same problem?

    Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~`/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.

  • Document Managment - Printing MS Office Documents

    I am using Document Management and want to distribute documents based on an BOR Object Event trigger.  The documents are MS Office documents such as Word / Excel.  My requirement is to print the documents to the default printer of the user who triggered the event.  I am able to trigger the distribution but the result is a SAP mail with the documents attached but I want to actually output the attachments WORD / EXCEL attachments automatically to the printer. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is a problem with Microsoft office documents that's been going on for years. If you Google around enough, you'll find people complaining about it going back to Office 2004. I've been looking into it for a couple of years for a client who uses Leopard and office 2004. Possible solutions include: creating an invisible folder at the root level of the SharePoint called “TemporaryItems” and using Terminal to give it the proper permissions; changing all of the numeric user IDs away from 501 and 502 and using very large unique numbers instead; and changing the owner of the share point on the server to something called NETWORK SERVICE (it's unclear to me if this will work on a Mac server or only Windows).
    I have applied the TemporaryItems folder solution, and it did solve the problem for a number of months. But it just came back with a vengeance. So here I am, googling around again. I can tell you this problem occurs, with some variations, in versions of Office from 2004 through 2011, and Mac operating systems from Tiger through Snow Leopard. It's rather mind-boggling that this has never been dealt with.

    You can find lots and lots of people online complaining about this. Just spend some time searching. In my case, my clients are only using two computers, one of which is using native filesharing, so it's not even a full-on server situation.

  • Will a Microsoft Office Add-In developed in Visual Studio work for both a Windows and Mac ( osx ) versions of Ms Office?

    I want to develop a Microsoft Office Word Add-In for Mac Users. I would like to know if we create it using Visual Studios in windows will it be compatible with the Mac version of office or is there a whole another way to develop for Mac?
    Please provide links so that I could follow some guidelines. The http://msdn.microsoft.com/site

    Office:Mac 2011 only supports add-ins that were developed in VBA. Office:Mac 2008 does not support add-ins at all. A
    new version of Office:Mac is slated for release in 2015, there have been no announcements as of this writing (December 2014) whether Microsoft will support additional methods of developing add-ins in the new version of Office:Mac.

  • CS2 on Mac, InDesign/Acrobat: Printing 2-sided pdf's on digital printer

    A small printer client of mine is using an Oce CM4521 color printer to print 2-sided business cards 10-up with crops all around. The second side is not aligning with the first, because, I think, the pdf-making function in InDesign is cropping the pdfs to the artwork, thus creating a right-left offset from one side to the other. I am stupid about many things, and this could be one of them. There may be an extremely simple solution I am not seeing.
    Yes, I'll be upgrading to CS4 soon. Any other suggestions out there? Thanks.

    Thanks Bob. This may solve it. The last setting on that option was "bounding box" which may have colored the output saved to pdf. Does that setting govern how the doc is cropped during the MAKING of the pdf, and not just the PLACING? (I'm not able to test if it does or not, I believe. I may be wrong). Thanks again.

  • Connect add-in crashes with 'plugin failure' when I click volume controls F11 or F12 On MAC OSX 10.9.5. Latest add-in installed and set to run in unsafe mode

    I am running Adobe Connect on a MAC using OSX 10.9.5 and have just installed the latest version of the add-in ( 11.9.971.247) to try to fix the problem. Every time I adjust the volume with F11 or F12 I get a white screen and the message 'Plug-in Failure'. I have also set the add-in to run in Safari in 'unsafe mode' but this has not fixed the problem.
    I've been running Connect on this MAC for many months now without the problem but cannot understand why it has suddenly started. Any help or ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
    Thanks - Chris

    Thanks again. I finally found the answer and it is working in Safari and Chrome
    First I updated Flash Player to the latest version (not sure whether this was required)
    Then I found that even though the add-in was installed that Connect was not using it, as all the browser tabs were still showing, and adjusting sound was crashing the program.
    I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/connectaddin
    I deleted the add-in directory from ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/www.macromedia.com/bin/adobeconnectaddin
    Then I restarted the meeting and created a new Pod and Selected 'Share my Screen'
    This forced the add-in to download and install.
    Adobe Connect now starts from the add-in and not the browser
    Many thanks for your Help Sameer

  • Acrobat - Convert Office documents to PDF so that it is crawled/indexed by SharePoint search

    Hi there,
    This is a hybrid question between Acrobat and SharePoint and I'll post on both forums....
    Background:
    In a fairly complex application we have a publishing server that utilizes Acrobat to convert Office documents to PDF using the Convert to PDF functionality.
    We then publish that PDF to a library in SharePoint.  We would like to have those published PDFs searchable by SharePoint search.  Unfortunately there is something about these PDFs where SharePoint cannot crawl the content.
    Note:  I do realize that PDFs are not indexable by SharePoint out of the box and I have installed and configured the iFilter utility.  I have been able to index and search for other PDFs, so I know the mechanism works.  It just seems to be these
    particular PDFs.
    I have also manually "Saved as PDF" directly from Word/Excel and those PDFs are crawled by SharePoint....it just seems to be when Acrobat does its conversion.  I'm sure it's just a simple configuration somewhere... I just don't know what I'm
    looking for.
    Another note:  When I open the published PDFs, I am able to use Acrobat's search to find the text.... and the text is selectable; so it's not as if the conversion changed it to an image.
    So....would anyone happen to have encountered this issue?  Or does anyone know what makes a PDF indexable by SharePoint search?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi  ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the PDFs which are converted from Office documents by Acrobat cannot be crawled in your SharePoint 2010.
    For your issue, please make sure these PDFs version is 1.5(Acrobat 6.x) or above.
    You can take steps as below for verifying:
    Open your PDF using Adobe Reader.
    Go to File -> Properties.
    Check the PDF Version under Advanced section.

  • Macbook X 10.6.8. Epson SX218 failed to print every fifth line, but only in MS Office documents. I updated Office. Now that line is slightly blurred as though the printer had missed out a pass.

    I am helping a disabled person with a printing problem involving a Macbook, an Epson SX218, and MS Office for Macs. The Macbook had been recently updated to OS X 10.6.8, and the printer driver reinstalled, by an Apple store. She complained the printer failed to print about every fifth line. It turned out there was no problem at all with printing web pages and emails, but only with Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). I updated
    Office. Later all lines were printed, but imperfectly with a bit missing from bottom of every fifth line, as though the printer had missed out a pass, so I am not sure the Office update is what made the difference. I am not at all sure whether this problem arises from the Mac or the printer or Office.

    It looks like that the installation process of one of the applications have caused some trouble. One of them may have changed or added kext files.
    For that, the Window server crashed if you try to open a non Apple application like Firefox
    Start the system in safe mode by holding the shift key on power on.
    If save mode is reached, perform a permissions repair with the Disk Utility.
    Don't bother about upcoming warnings like "could not repair file xy" as that occur cause you use the tool on a running system and opened files can not get touched by the tool.
    After repair is done reboot system to normal and try to open Firefox.
    If the problem persits, please report back here.

  • Problems with printing MS Office docs from web-mail in Safari

    Hello,
    I have some problems when I try to print MS Office documents which are the attachments in my web-mail in Safari. I open the attachment online without saving it on my computer. Safari shows a blank page in Print Preview and the printer prints a blank page too. We tried to repeat it with another printer and with another iMac. The result is the same. PDF files have no problem with previewing and printing. Does anybody know how to resolve this problem? Thank you!

    Hi, thank you for your comment. I tried this, but the list of plug-ins doesn't have Adobe PDF browser plugin  (or PDF browser plugin). The screenshot is attached....
    Do you have any other idea? ) Thanks!

  • "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" = java.io.FileNotFoundException

    I have an application that prints documents. We have observed that file reading and writing fails after a user prints with the Microsoft virtual printer: "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer".
    Any subsequent file operation generates exceptions: java.io.FileNotFoundException.
    There seems to be an accepted bug already: [http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6358014|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6358014]

    There was also a previous thread that was opened without any success for resolution: [previous thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5208746]
    My questions are:
    1- Is this bug related to printing or drawing?
    2- Can this bug be fixed with client code, my application, or this needs to be fixed in the JVM?
    3- Is this an Microsoft issue or Sun issue? Other application can print using this virtual driver.
    To make matters worst, Eclipse can print using this driver and continue normal operation. Does Eclipse use a completely different code base?

  • Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

    I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
    I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
    NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
    I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

    Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.
    Look at:

    Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
    Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
    Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
    Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
    Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
    The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
    Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
    Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
    Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
    Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
    Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
    Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
    Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
    "Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
    Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
    One reader who had success with this method writes:
    "Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
    "I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
    Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
    Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
    Wait a few minutes
    Plug it back in
    Restart the base station unit
    Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
    Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
    Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
    Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

  • Is it possible to Print a PDF as a PDF in Acrobat 11.0.06 on Mac OSX 10.8.5?

    Is it possible to Print a PDF as a PDF in Acrobat 11.0.06 on Mac OSX 10.8.5?
    I need this functionality. Adobe PDF doesn't appear in the printer list as it did on my windows laptop. I need to be able to print to the PDF "size" of 8.5 by 11 to shrink files down for e-mail. My workflow usually goes like this:  I import all the pictures or create a PDF from multiple files (pictures), I then put them in order  and then print to PDF, two pictures to a page. I can take a 50MB file down to a 1MB file this way. Makes it easy to view on smartphones and the like.
    Is this functionality still broken in Acrobat 11? Did I just waste my money? This was the only reason I bought the latest version - It wouldn't work on 9 Pro either.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    Thanks Tony. That is exactly the functionality I am not getting from the current product on Mac. 
    You can get a much better looking result that takes up way less space and opens faster for the end user by printing a PDF as a PDF and controlling the size of the PDF image. I can take - for instance, 6 or 7  10MP pictures and create a PDF out of them. The PDF will be 25MB or so. I can print that as a PDF which will allow me to put two pictures per page  - and that file will be about 1 MB. No crappy looking images, just much smaller size and multiple images per page. 
    It's a workflow I have used for years on PC.  Everyone keeps saying just save it as a PDF using the Mac print "save as PDF" functionality but that doesn't accomplish the same thing and you can not control how many pages to print on to each new page of your PDF. 
    I find it misleading that I saw a web page on Adobe's site that shows you can print as a PDF and it says you can print as a PDF on Mac and that is NOT the case.  Print to PDF Windows 7, Vista, XP, Mac | Adobe Acrobat XI Infuriating.
    I have tried to optimize a PDF with 6 or 7 images and it just doesn't do the same thing. It wont reduce the size as much as I need, cuts it in half - but not down to a small fraction for being an e-mail attachment. I'm using XI Pro. Researched this for about 3 hours and it is not functionality that can be used on a Mac.
    I even tried printing as a PDF in Parallels on XP with another licensed version of Acrobat Pro and it still wont let you. You would have to probably dual boot your machine to get the functionality by running windows flat out on the Mac with a separate Licensed copy of the software.
    It amazes me that Adobe can't figure this out or make amends with Apple to get the functionality back into Acrobat.
