Only bold text physically prints from a printer from a PDF created in Pro 11.0.2

Hi.
I have created a PDF of a Microsoft Excel spread sheet in Adobe Pro 11.0.2 but some of the text does not print.
Have tried two different printers but get the same results.
There seems to be a pattern in what does and does not print, but it does not make sense as only the bold text seems to print.
It is written with standard Calibri font in Office Pro Plus 2010 on Win7ProSP1.
It looks fine on the screen as all text is visible after creating the PDF
Any comments appreciated...

Try printing as a graphic. It may be that the fonts are not downloading to the printer -- a typical issue with HP printers for some reason.

Printing microsoft word 2003 document and pdf created from the document are different

I created a microsoft word 2003 document with jpg pictures and printed it on my HP Inkjet printer. I then created a pdf by saving as a pdf from the microsoft word 2003 document. The settings for images were 300 dpi and zip compression. The pdf file created was ~3 MB whereas the word document was ~250 KB. It looked fine on the screen but when I printed it the jpg pictures from the pdf were very dark and not very desirable. When I printed it on my HP Color laser 2600n printer I couldn't see the difference in the jpg pictures.
I am creating the pdf files to send to the online publisher lulu.com to print. I have used the settings to create the pdf they recommend from their website; however they aren't real clear in the information they give for the recommended settings.
My question is why would the print out be so awful using the HP Color Ink Jet printer since it is very good for printing pictures?

There are many reasons, but most revolve around the color space and coding for the colors. Acrobat uses 8 bit RGB.

Text variable + text with tabs to align away from spine

Hello
I need a document header that shows the chapter captions. So I created a text variable that picks the format of the caption.
But the chapter captions have tabs:
I.>Introduction
So in the header, on the left pages it looks fine:
alignment is "away from spine"
I.>Introduction
But on the right page the chapter number remains with the spine, only the text after the tabs aligns "away from the spine":
I. > Introduction
I found it difficult to search for this on google and the forum (and no result) - and hope I made it clear in the text above I can't believe it's a rare problem and really hope I just oversee something and it can be solved..
Thank you!!

Some details about how the paragraph is constructed would help. I'm guessing here that the variable is a running head variable based on paragraph style, and that the nmber is manually typed, along with the tab, rather than being a numbered list.
If that's the case, substituting one or more em spaces or other fixed-width spaces in combination for the tab should solve the problem in the headers, but may cause other issues in the body of the text if your intention by using the tab was to always have a variable space between the number and the words depening on how many characters there are in your number. With roman numerals and proportional fonts it would be difficult without the tab to always have the chapter title itself begin at the same x-coordinate in the frame regardless of the number.
To overcome that issue, you can use two variables in the header, both designated as Running Header (character style), and separate them with an em-space or similar (not a tab). If there are not already nested styles in use for the titles, create two character styles that are nothing but names, then in the paragraph style for your chapter titles go to Drop Caps and Nested Styles and apply the first character syle up to 1 tab character, None through 1 tab character, and the second character style through 1 sentence. You two character style based variables in the header will pick up the two parts of the paragraph. It seems unlikely that anyone would notice or care that the spacing is fixed between number and text in the headers but not on the page, especially since the alignment shifts from page to page.

I am unable to print PDF's using either Adobe Reader or Safari. In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my Cannon printer that says, "/usr.libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed". In Safari, I can only print the first page of a PDF.

To try to resolve this problem, I have done the following actions.
1 - I have run Disk Warrior.
2 - I have repaired permissions.
3 - I have deleted all plist that are either Cannon or Adobe.
4 - I have downloaded and installed the lastest versions of Adobe Reader and the Cannon printer drivers.
I am still unable to print PDF's.
In Safari, I can print only the first page. In a multipage PDF, Safari only seems to recognize the first page.
In Adobe Reader, I get an error message from my printer: "/usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstocupsraster failed".
Any help would be greatly appreicated!

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list. Post the messages from the time of the last printing attempt.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.

Printing Only visible text

Hi,
I am trying to print an editable PDF from Adobe reader. The issue is that only the text visible in the edit boxes are printing. I have several paragraphs of written text in the editable boxes, but when it only prints the few sentences that are visible. How do I get the ALL my text to print, instead of just the visible text?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
Sarah

Not really. You can copy the text to another field (for example, on a blank
page) when the file is printed, but that would require using a custom-made
script.

Printer won't print pictures, only text

I have an MX452 All-In-One printer. I don't do a lot of printing, and most of what I do is text. Today I tried printing a picture, and everytime I try I get a message stating that the printer is offline. The printer is NOT offline -- I know this because it prints text just fine, even while the "offline" message from the picture is still displayed.
I am going to pick up some ink later today, as the black is a little low, but surely if this were the problem, I wouldn't be getting an offline message...right?
I am using Windows Vista and printing directly from the computer (not from a website), if that's any help.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Hi MarkFL,
Since you are able to print text from other programs on your computer, it may be possible that another printer is selected in the Print window of the program that you are printing the pictures from. Please open that program, then go to FILE and select the PRINT option. Please ensure that the printer selected in the window is the PIXMA MX452; if it is, also verify that there is only one PIXMA MX452 printer to choose from in the list. If there is more than one, please try to print by selecting each one. Once the correct printer is selected, please remove the other printers.

I can't print only selected text since upgrading to Firefox 8.0. Using Mac OS Lion

Until Firefox 8.0, I could select text on any webpage and print only that text. Now, I can't even get a print dialog box with an option to "Print Selection" only.
I also recently upgraded to OS Lion (from OS Leopard) on Mac. Any chance that that is the problem or is it in Firefox? I've seen lots of help requests on this site from other people with problems printing selected text from websites.

Firefox hangs the same way in safe mode.
There is no such thing as a Firefox program folder on a Mac, nor is there an "uninstall" to do, so these directions are not relevant to a Mac user.
The problem remains.

When I try to print from Firefox everything is shrunk on the paper and it is only Firefox that I am having this printing issue

Whenever I attempt to print something from Firefox it comes out tiny on the piece of paper. I have tried changing the printer settings, I have double checked the print preview, but whenever it comes from Firefox everything is shrunk. I do not have this issue within any other program, just Firefox.

No change. I reset value of the stand alone printer.print line and printed a few emails and got the same kind of error.
Did note that when I printed plain text emails the only part that is unreadable is the message header (body of the email is fine). If I print a message with anything beyond plain text it is all unreadable (some of the included pictures/graphics do print ok though).
There were a number of other printer.print lines with the Brother printer identification followed by header, footer etc. that appeared to be like a page setup type of thing. Would it be worth removing these printer/lines altogether and starting over with it?

In Pages (5.2), in a table, superscript is not only not printing, but not printing the text around it. Bizarre

In Pages (5.2), in a table, superscript is not only not printing, but not printing the text around it. Any answers?

Known issue now for almost 9 months.
Use Pages '09 if you have it.

How do I print only the text on the monitor screen?

I would like to be able to print only that portion of a text that is on the monitor screen. How do I do that?
I have an Epson Workforce 325 printer, and an HP desktop computer PC

Please see the following to print only the text portion of the web page. I am assuming you wish to print just the text & not the ads or additional irrelevant items to avoid wasting ink.
See:

You might be better off contacting an AutoCAD support group.

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ?

Why can I not print from pages but can if I copy to text edit, I get "printer off line message " from pages ? I use HP wireless printer .

Are you sure you have the right printer?
In UNIX/OSX printers are virtual links to devices and even with the same name can be trying to reach a printer via another network address, so it thinks it is another printer.

SmartForm Text not printing from SAP printer but prints on LOCL

I have a smartform that looks great on the screen and if i print locally ( default printer). When i print it on an SAP printer the text is not readable. It looks like barcodes or that the text is stretched about 1 inch high. The data that doesnt print is only in the table sections. if i increase the font size to 10.0 it prints but is too large for the form. Any suggestions? I could send a PDF of the document if you wish.
Dave Baxandall

Hi,
What is the printer model and what devce type is defined in the output device for the SAP printer? Perhaps the device type used doesn't support the font size. Check via SE73 -> Printer Fonts -> < Device type>.

Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

Hello,
     I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
     Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
     It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
     Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy
