Package or Print PDF?

I'm sure there are situations where packaging the indesign document and sending over all the files is better than exporting a high res PDF for print, but what would these be? Simply when the printer needs to make changes? What changes would these be that can't be done by me or to a PDF?

" (but be sure you ask for the settings they want you to use if they do take
PDF)."
Could you please explain this a bit further? Do you mean, selecting 'press
quality' or 'high quality print' etc., plus other settings? What are the
best for a mixed text/image doc where most images are screenshots and there
are some photos?
We have to send some docs to the printer soon and while we sent a batch a
while ago and the printer didn't ask for settings, and the finished product
was fine, perhaps the product would be even better with the exact required
settings (if our printer knows what those are).
Thank you!

Issue printing PDF Packages

I'm having issues printing PDF Packages.Clients have contacted us stating that our PDF Packages don't print properly. Essentially they were only able to print the "coversheet" and nothing else. I ran some test scenarios and noted that PDF Packages print feature behaved differently depending on several criterias:
how it was viewed (ie: desktop, Firefox browser, IE browser)
what Adobe Reader Plugin
what command was used to access print feature (ie: file>print, ctrl + P, print icon)
So far I've noticed that Adobe Reader utilizes two versions of the Print Dialog Box. The first one shows four choices for "Print Range" (All, Current View, Current Page, Pages...) seems to always be misconfigured and does not print as intended. The second one I've noticed seems to limit your Print Range choices (All, Current View) which usually works.
This seems to be an Adobe bug. This Print Bug exists on both Acrobat 8 and 9, and the bug may or may not exist depending on how you view the "PDF Package" (ie: Desktop, Firefox, IE).
If you open the PDF Package on your desktop and view via Adobe Reader for the most part it prints as expected for "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Although the "Print Range" is misaligned (ie: "Print All" behaves as "Current View", "Current View" behaves as "Current Page".
If you open the PDF Package on a browser with an Adobe Reader plugin, a different scenario occurs.
You might experience that you're locked into printing only the "coversheet" of the PDF Package.
And again your "Print Range" might be misaligned.
In Adobe Reader 8, a dropdown appeared when you selected "File>Print" or the "Print Icon". The dropdown then gave you an option to "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents". Which basically provided you an option to print the entire "PDF Package" or choose to print only a section of the "PDF Package".
In Adobe Reader 9, the option to choose between "Print Current Documents" or "Print All Documents" was removed.
In fact I started to document the instances to see if its an isolated issue and it looks like it fails to print (as intended) 60% of the time. Of the 40% that does print as intended... it looks like half the time the "Print Range" is misconfigured.
Also, I've noticed that Reader utilizes two different "Print Dialog" boxes.
The testing scenario I set up was that you can print in three different ways:
    1. File>Print
    2. <ctrl + P>
    3. <print icon>
Three ways to view the PDF package:
    1. Download PDF Package & view on your desktop via Adobe Reader
    2. View PDF Package on Firefox w/ Adobe Reader plugin
    3. View PDF Package on Internet Explored w/ Adobe Reader plugin
My computer is using:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 9
I've also spot tested on:
XP Pro SP3, Acrobat Reader 8
Vista, Acrobat Reader 8
Any Ideas?

Hi Greg,
Since this is sytem defined settings that you are trying to implement, I presume that the INI changes ought to be done in FSISYS.INI rather than the FSIUSER.INI.
Apart from that most of your INI changes look fine as we are also using pdf as our Output type. Please find the INI change swe have implemented in our system for printing pdf.
Device = ..\Print\Prt.pdf
Bookmark = Yes,Page
Compression = 0
DownLoadFonts = Yes,Enabled
LanguageLevel = Level2
Module = PDFW32

PrintFunc = PDFPrint
PrintType = PDF
SendOverlays = No,Enabled
SendColor = Yes,Enabled

SplitText = No
SplitPercent = 50
TextCommentOn = FORMSET
Papersize = 0

Hope this is helpful.

Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?
Thanks!

How To Batch Print PDF Files

Hello Friends.
I am using Apex 4.1 on Windows 7. My database is Oracle EE 10.2.0.5 on Solaris and OAS as the app server (and so, am using mod_plsql).
I wrote an application in which I use the PLPDF package to generate PDF screens. Initially, the last few commands in my code looked like:
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf',false);
htp.p('Content-Length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob));
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(l_blob);The variable l_blob is the PDF blob object generated by PLPDF. The PDF is being formed from a cursor for loop further up in my code (not displayed here) that is SELECTing from a table. The above code displays the generated PDF on to a popup page in my application. At that point, the user can click the "File->Print" menu to send the displayed PDFF to the default printer.
However, my requirements are that I may have multiple PDFs generated from my for loop and would like to have each of these PDFs sent to the default printer is one go rather than force the user to have to display and print each one separatlely.
And so I modified the above code so that the PDFs created by the PLPDF package are being inserted into an Oracle table rather than displayed in a popup page.
Would any one know how to send each of the PDFs stored in the table to the default printer automagically, perhaps my issuing a ctrl+p command or some such thing.
Thanks in advance for any help/code/advice.
Elie

I tried the following code that which comes directly from the Apex Stored procedure PRINT_PDF.
The APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT function returns NULL.
declare
    v_filename varchar2(1000);
    v_pdf_blob blob;
pnum number;
begin
v_filename := 'TEST_' || to_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd');
pnum := --Hidden from Post;
dbms_output.put_line('Security ID: ' || pnum);
wwv_flow_api.set_security_group_id(p_security_group_id=>nvl(wwv_flow_application_install.get_workspace_id,pnum));
v_pdf_blob := APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (
                                       p_application_id      => 121,
                                       p_report_query_name   => 'QS_CERT_QUERY_TEST',
                                       p_report_layout_name => 'QS_CERT_QUERY',
                                       p_report_layout_type => 'xsl-fo',
                                       p_document_format     => 'pdf');
insert into printed_pdfs (filename, stored_pdf, record_created_By_person, record_created_on_date)
                  values (v_filename||'.pdf', v_pdf_blob, 'Name', sysdate);
end;
Any idea on what is wrong or how to make it work.

Problem with print pdf and ordering book

Hi,
the function save as pdf, or print pdf, seems not working anymore: the pdf extracted in fact is empty (white pages). I have tried it on several books project, including some I had printed previously, with the same result. Any idea of the possible reason and how to fix it?
Also, if I try to order the book, my photo are visible (at least the cover) but I can't preview the whole book. And, when I try to purchase it, I've an error message saying that there is not enough memory for the book, please quit aperture and try again (tried, but no results).
Also, even more strange: I downloaded the latest update package, and when I launch it an error message appears that says "Aperture 3 or later version must be installed"... but I have version 3.1.1! So...
Can somebody please help?
Many thanks in advance,
cheers
Francesca

Have you tried the tips shown at [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805] that might help.
Also, even more strange: I downloaded the latest update package, and when I launch it an error message appears that says "Aperture 3 or later version must be installed"... but I have version 3.1.1! So..
For the updates to work Aperture must be installed in the systems Application folder and be named Aperture not Aperture.3.1.1 or anything else. Is that the case in your situation?

Crop Marks/Preparing to Print - PDF

Hello,
I have created a 250 page book in indesign. When I select "Package for Print", printers marks are not set. If I try just printing the book, I see where I can opt to print with printers marks, but they don't save on the file. When I go back to Package for print, they're not showing.
How can I create a PDF of the entire book that I can upload to a printing website (going to use Mimeo.com) WITH crop marks shown on that file? Mimeo only accepts PDF files.
I have CS5 on a Mac. Please be specific as to what instructions you give, as I'm new to this. Thanks!
Please help!! THanks!

Hi Bob,
Yes, its a book... well actually a planner...
I have CS5 (on a Mac). Can you give me specific instructions as to
where I'd find that? Any of the ways that I go to export a PDF, I
don't see those options available. Thanks!

Hi all,
I have a specific 'Package For Print' script, that needs a small modification, and and I was hoping someone could help me.

Printing pdf using DDE

Hi , I want to print pdf files from Forms 6i using DDE package. If any one has done this type of thing , please send me the code for the same. Please help. I have opened a sample pdf file using DDE with the following code:
DECLARE
AppID PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe c:\temp\test.pdf',DDE.App_Mode_Maximized);
END;

You already have a PDF -which you generated- and you want to print it -which you can't-.
Right.
Where did the PDF go? Save / Open in the browser, left on the filesystem somewhere...
You really have to try to be more specific about your particular problem otherwise there is no way in the world i will be able to help you.

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?

How can I save to the same map every time when printing pdfs?
Finder points to the document map even when I chose a different map recently.
I often print series of pdfs from the print dialog box, I'd like to choose the map to save to and then have all subsequent pdf prints automatically directed to the same map until I decide otherwise.

that link seems to be broken right now:

Printing PDF forms to an impact printer

Greetings,
I hope I've found the correct forum for this question.
We are having difficulty printing PDF forms to an impact printer. We are required by regulations to print to multi-part forms from our GTS landscape, which is going live soon. Since Adobe is the direction SAP is headed with forms, we have been utilizing ADS. However, the need for impact printing has presented a problem. Has anyone utilized PDF printing to an impact printer? I'll list some details in case it will help.
Printer: Lexmark Forms Printer 2590
Backend Print Solution: HP Output Server on AIX
SAP GTS: NetWeaver 7.0 SP17 w/ SLL-LEG 720 SP7
Our printer has printer languages of Epson Emulation and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). Neither of these are included in the standard device types for PDF as specified in OSS Note 685571. I do not see an appropriate XDC file to copy and modify.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a resolution?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Wesley Tollett

the PortName should be changed accordingly.
if you are using printer port , commonly lpt1, you should change it to lpt1
ur command line could work , i think
i've tried it locally in my machine, it works fine.

How do I view and print pdf files

I am using FireFox ver 12 on a Mac and can not view or print pdf documents. I have installed PDF Viewer 0.2.5 plugin but it does not appear to work.

I disabled the PDF Viewer plug-in and set my Application preference to use Adobe Reader for pdf files. All is working fine now.

Printing PDF report directly to printer, not using orarrp utility

The orarrp utility works only with Windows machines and it
requires installation on both the client machines and servers to
support. We need a more general solution.
Adobe has a java application/applet/javabean (and support
classes) to view PDF, and it is easy to write a java driver
which can be used in place of the orarrp utility. However,
Adobe's Java Viewer is extremely slow, does not produce quality
output, and is explicitly not supported by Adobe.
My question then relates to Reports. When the Report server
returns a PDF in the Previewer, I'm expecting the JINITIATOR,
used by Forms, is also used to support the Report frame and
functionality, including eventual printing. If this is the case,
is there not a set of classes, downloaded with Jinitiator, which
support the fonts, and printing of PDF to locally attached
printers?
And if so, shouldn't we, in Java, be able to make use of these
classes and their APIs to print PDF files directly to locally
attached printers without the need for Previewing first?

within a forms trigger:
1. generate the report
2. copy from iAS to local
like: webutil_file_transfer.url_to_client()
3. print.exe /d:printer filename (for windows OS)

Package or Print PDF?
