OSX, Acrobat Reader 5 and printing problems

Not sure this is in the right place (possibly should go to the Adobe Reader section) but help needed.
I have PDFs that look just fine on screen, but when they are printed out, the image is being reduced in size. It is as if there are some margins set someplace (although where, I have no idea) that are over-riding the PDF as it appears on screen. Is this behaviour typical with reader 5? Is there a setting somewhere that will cause the image to be reduced in size? If this is a bug, does anyone know if it is fixed in the Adobe reader range? Is anyone else experiencing this?
My set up is a Mac G4 sawtooth, with upgraded processor (1.5GHz) and new hard drive running 'out of the box' OSX 10.4.6 (Tiger) with Classic accessing the original OS9 installation on the original hard drive.
Range of Adobe products running in Classic (PS 5.5, AI 9.2, ID 1.2) from which some of the PDFs originate.
Old OS9 compatible printer (Epson SP1200) died recently, new printer (Epson SP1400) is only comaptible with OSX, except going via Laserwriter8.
Problem was present with old printer before it died as well, so OS/printer incompatibility is probably the issue.
Upgrading to CS3 is an option, but an expensive one, so wish to explore the Portable Document Format option first!

It cannot be a problem of the installation, because at least Windows 7
was a fresh install with nothing but Reader additionally installed.
By the way, what do you mean by "risky", I followed straight the
documentation from Adobe, where one is allowed to place function calls
requiring a privileged context.
Have you any better idea where to place the call to save? It must be
called automatically, when the User closes the window, no additional
interaction is possible.
One other thing is the call to exportXFAData, have you any idea why
there is a difference in behavior between reader version 7 / 10 and 9?
I wrote that in version 9 the user entered data is missing.

be avoided if there are alternatives available.

  • Acrobat Reader Versions and saveAs, exportXFAdata Problems

    We use generate Forms with Reader Extension Save enabled.
    The forms are then opened within Acrobat Reader. In the onClose Event a Script called "saveXMLData" is called. This script is install in the javascript folder of the reader installation.
    The script :
    var saveXMLData = app.trustedFunction(function(doc)
         app.beginPriv();
         doc.saveAs({cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.pdf",
              bCopy: true,
              bPromptToOverwrite: false });
         doc.exportXFAData({
              cPath:"/c/windows/temp/savedForm.xml",
              bXDP:false
         app.endPriv();
         return;
    Using Acrobat Reader 7, eveything worked fine.
    Using Acrobat Reader 9 "saveAs" crashes the Application after the document is saved and the filled in Data is not saved.
    Without the saveAs function, at least the export File is generate but the data that where filled in are missing.
    Using Acrobat Reader X "saveAs" crashes the Application as well. Leavin out the saveAs function, the export File is generated as expected. Thus the filled in data values are saved.
    Using Acrobat X Pro everything works as with Acrobat Reader 7.
    Our Problem is that the customer uses Acrobat Reader 9. Are there expected incompatibilities with the different versions. Does anybody know any workarounds, settings?
    By the way disabling extended security does not help.
    Thanks
    Max

  • Dot matrix printer will not print well with acrobat reader 8 and 9.

    If printed with Acrobat Reader 7 print is ok.

  • Adobe Acrobat Reader's slow printing

    I had this same problem with Tiger when I first got a printer server for my printer (HP Laserjet 1200) but I fixed it by selecting another driver. Basically what happens is that takes like 5 minutes to print the first page, and after the first page it stops and waits a few minutes to print the next page. This only happens for Adobe Acrobat Reader but it prints like normal on Preview and Office. I've tired selecting other drivers, another protocols (Appletalk, IP, Windows), removing and adding the printer again, updating and downgrading drivers, but nothing seems to work.
    My little brother (on a iMac 20" Intel Core 2 Duo and Leopard) also has the same problem.
    Does anyone else have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

    Adobe indicates that Adobe Reader 8.1.1 requires an update to be fully compatible with OS X 10.5. They are estimating the update will be ready in January, 2008. See http://www.adobe.com/go/leopardfaq They do not indicate what conflicts there are.

    I have never been able to use the Macmail feature.  Running OSX 10.4.11, and the problems appear to be related to the fact that when I originally registered my computer with apple, I used an old e-mail address which is now defunct.  Have since upgraded the e-mail address in account manger, but it still locks me out and rejects my user name and password when I try to log in.  It seems it established an account for me automatically when I first fired the beast up, but now the Macmail program is uncooperative with me.  Any assistance would be much appreciated, Thanks

    Hi rbcjoker76, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Sounds like some needed System Fonts wre replaced by bad ones. Y also have Font Book in Applications for validating fonts & checking for duplicates.
    Required Fonts from 10.3, much the same in 10.4...

    You may have to get Pacifist...

    then intall the Fonts what you need from your Install Disk.
    Or do a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

    This call Error when I used browser Mozilla 2 and plugin adobe acrobat reader 8, but all work good, when I used adobe acrobat reader 7 and Mozilla 2.
    I need help.
    Have someone this problem?

    Hi,
    did you search the Mozilla forum for this issue? I don't think that the JDeveloper 11 forum is the right place to post this problem if it is an Adobe/Mozilla issue

  • Hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat Reader 8 and 9

    Hi,
    Does anyone know why a hyperlink that contains backslash is not working in Acrobat reader 8 and 9?
    I created a document in Indesign CS and it contains hyperlinks that open up files from network drive so they contain backslash (for example: c:\foder\forder\filename.jpg). All the hyperlinks work in Acrobat Reader 6 but not in Acrobat Reader 8 or 9.
    Anybody could share the solution would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Did you ever figure this out? I am also having problems with the "No Hand" javascript which turns off the (not very helpful) page-forward hand icon (a hand symbol with a down arrow) which confuses our users when in fullscreen mode. We create interactive PDFs and everything worked fine up to Acrobat X/Reader X. Now in XI it doesn't allow the internal link icon (pointing finger) nor weblink icon (pointing finger with W) to appear. It just remains a plain o’ hand icon no matter what you mouse over even though there are links present.

  • Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS.

    I have read some of the other posts about Adobe Reader 9 and printing labels with USPS. I am running Snow Leopard on my IMac with Adobe reader 9.1.3 and have had no problems only when using Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3 for the Mac. There is, however, an extra step, if I recall (some window asking me to make a selection, which came up after I clicked on the "print and bill" button). But everything worked just fine.

    Hi,
    Thank you for the quick response. I've done that but the problem persists.
    A bit about my computer it's Vista, but the folders are a little weird. Default install directory and common files folders are on a different drive. In addition appdata are also on a different drive. However this should not affect sinve I've already re-installed Adobe Reader multiple times and it used to work just fine.
    But perhaps the problem is indeed path related. Anybody with more ideas to share?
    Thank you in advance.
    Update: When I reinstall Adobe Reader and open the file, the first time I try to install Japanese font it does not end with "registering product" but with something like "removing backup files" (see attachment). If I try to install Japanese font again and again, I will get the "registering product" at the final glimpse of the installation pop-up.

  • Can not accept license after installing Acrobat Reader 8 and removing 6

    To whom it may concern,
    after installing Acrobat Reader 8, removing Acrobat Reader 6, and starting Acrobat Reader 8 the license agreemnet window appeared as aspected. The problem is it displays everything as far as I can see correctly, but it is not working in any way. I have to close the windows by clicking on the white cross in the title bar. I then receive the message, that I did not accept the license and therefore Acrobat Reader will be closed. And that happens when I click ok.
    Hopefully someone over here as a tip who I can proceed. Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    Jochen

    Dear Claudio and Shari,
    Liam's suggestions have been of value for me. The Acrobat Reader is up and running.
    Thank's!
    @Shari
    I'm using Firefox as well. An the tip and tool form Liam helped.
    Just give it a try. The Explorer is used by Windows for more than a simple browser.

  • Acrobat Reader DC and BabylonRPI.api

    The above mentioned Adobe Reader plug-in BabylonRPI.api worked in the Adobe Reader 11 without any flaws. After having replaced version 11 with the new Acrobat Reader DC and having placed the Babylon plug-in,too, the Babylon function is no longer started by the respective command. I suppose BabylonRPI.api needs an adaptation to the new version. Does anybody know more about this topic?

    Meanwhile Babylon has answered acknowledging that the BabylonRPI.api does not work with the new Acrobat Reader DC. They say, they are working on their plug-in to get it compatible with the new Adobe Reader.
    Further notice as soon as Babylon presents its adapted plug-in.

  • I installed the latest Acrobat Reader (11) and every time I try to do a Save As, it crashes the entire Adobe program closing all files.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still crashes.

    I installed the latest Acrobat Reader (11) and every time I try to do a Save As, it crashes the entire Adobe program closing all files.  I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it still crashes.

    Hi Bryan ,
    It happens when you save it as an Adobe PDF or a normal PDF?
    Happens with all the files or any specific one?
    What exact version of Acrobat are you using?
    Try updating it to the latest one if it is an older one.
    You may also want to uninstall and re install it to check.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Regards

  • Acrobat reader will not print in OSx maverick

    I have not been able to print pdf files in Acrobat Reader using OSx Maverick. I have re-installed the the most recent version of Acrobat reader a couple of times but no success printing. Anyone dealing with the same proble and is there a solution?

    All I can report to you is that I can print from Adobe Reader just fine. I'm using an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1 and have been able to print since day one. One suggestion is to use Adobe Reader's print button icon instead of just Command-P.  You might also try repairing permissions using Disk Utility.
    What happens, exactly, when you attempt ot print and how do you try to do it?

  • LOADED ACROBAT READER X and my old ACROBAT 7 PROFESSIONAL BECAME DEFAULT+MY PRINTING WITH 7 IS BLURR

    I have downloaded ACROBAT READER X.  I previously had IX which worked well and prior to that ACROBAT 7 PROFESSIONAL which I have kept and upgraded. Prior to downloading READER X READER 9 had been my default reader.
    Upon loading Reader X, 7 PROFESSIONAL became my default reader.  It seemed to work OK but for printing.  Printing with 7  resulted in blurred unreadable words and black patches.  When using READER X for printing printing is fine and clear.
    Any words of encoragement?

    Not counting Reader X, Adobe didn't recommend having Reader and Acrobat on the same system. It would cause problems. Moreover when you uninstalled one, it would break the other. When you installed Reader X, it uninstalled your old version of Reader and broke Acrobat 7. If you want Reader and Acrobat upgrade both to X. If you want to keep your old version of Acrobat, uninstall Reader X and re-install Acrobat 7.

  • Display and Print Problem with Reader 9.1.x

    hallo
    an external software produced pdf-documents. all of this pdf´s will work with all reader-versions 7 and 8. but with 9.x we have the problem, that the view is not korrekt. letters are not comlpete. this view will also be printed. this error is not on alle text-lines, but some lines show uncompleted letters. the manufacturer say, that is all standard and it is sure that the reader will have the problem :-)  yes surely.
    but maybe the reader is the problem. some ideas?
    the attch file shows the error. it is a label and in the middel of the label: Tamaris-TREND     or with reader 9.x T.......-TREND.
    thanks
    markus

    testing and testing and testing
    here the newest info
    it is not the letter size. small or caps letters.
    i added a new pdf. here under the bold number you must see "581*LAVENDER". but with reader 9.x it looks like the printer cardridge goes empty.
    i´ll go crazy with this sh... :-)

  • Strrange problem with Acrobat Reader 9 and power loss

    Hello,
    I have a Lenovo T61P (6457-A26) with Windows XP, and I have found a very strange behaviour with Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.
    Sometimes I open a PDF, and I read one or two pages, and then my laptop has a problem like a power loss (remove of the batter).
    I can read those PDF on other PC/MAC/Linux, ... no problem at all.
    So I'm thinking about an incompatibility with my laptop and Acrobat Reader...
    So for now, I've installed another PDF viewer (FoxIt), and I can open my PDF without fearing this lost of power...
    Did somebody experienced something like that? If yes, are there some solutions?
    Alessandro

    1. It happens with any file i want to open in browser.
    2. The Problem is specific to browser. When I open a document in the Reader application everithing works fine.
    kind regards
    Marcel
