PDF document looks different than when printed

With Acrobat Reader 9, we've noticed that when we print the documents, their is some sort of margin in the printed report, but when we view it on screen in Adobe Acrobat Reader 9, there is no margin.
Is there some setting in Adobe Acrobat Reader that could be causing this?

Change the document so that it prints without scaling.

  • Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

    The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

    Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

  • Some PDF Documents are Missing Letters when Printing

    We use a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise (64-bit) server as our print server. Ever since we moved our printers to this server, several of our existing PDF documents have missing letters when they print. If you modify your print properties and choose "Print as Image", the documents print correctly with no missing letters.
    The missing letters seem to come in specific combinations, such as ti, ft, fa, etc.
    Our previous print server was a Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) machine and these documents all printed fine on that server.
    Are there any known issues with printing PDF documents on a 64-bit print server, or with 64-bit drivers?
    Thank you for your time,
    Jason

    This response will hopefully help you towards a solution—I have not encountered the specific problem you are facing.
    The image you posted shows the fonts that are embedded in your document: both Calibri and Myriad Pro. However, the second instance of Calibri indicates that some some of the Calibri characters were encoded differently, and I suspect based on the combo characters you listed, these are glyphs and are what your printer is having trouble processing.
    The usual solution for print server issues is to make sure all drivers and firmware are updated.
    The answer to your question regarding embedding fonts completely is to change your Adobe pdf print preferences to embed all fonts, not just a subset. This must be done when the pdf is being created initially. You can change font embedding by choosing a joboption like Press Quality that includes full font embedding or by modifying the joboption you are already using. In Windows, you can do this at the time of print by selecting the Advanced button next to the printer selection dropdown and changing settings there, in advance by modifying the printing preferences from your printers menu, or by editing the joboptions in Acrobat Distiller.

  • PDF document looks different in Adobe Reader 8.1.2 than in Acrobat Standard 6.0.6

    When I saved a PDF document in Acrobat Standard 6.0.6 and later opened it using Adobe Reader 8.1.2 it has stray characters (or rather little rectangles taking up the space of one text character) in different places on the page.
    Opening the same document again in Acrobat verifies the document still looks like the original, but opening it again in Adobe Reader shows the stray characters or boxes.
    What is causing the two programs to render the same document differently on the screen and in printouts?

    I mean open first PDF file by mouse double click, then double click another PDF file, both are opened in 2 separate windows.

  • Pages vs PDF: Colors look different in the print out

    I'm currently creating some templates for letters in pages and I encountered irregularities when printing directly from pages versus printing the PDF from Acrobat.
    This is the workflow:
    I created the Logo in Adobe Illustrator CS4 using CMYK color definition. After saving a JPEG or EPS I inserted the logos in my Pages document. Then I exported the document as PDF with maximum quality.
    What happens now is, that the printed PDF looks closer to the original Illustrator logo (JPEG and EPS). When printed directly in Pages, the color shifts to a much brighter and very different Blue.
    What can I do to get the same results when printing from the two programms?

    Claudia
    If you like click on my blue name and email me the files.
    To attach screenshots here you need to park the images on another site like:

    then post the address here using the method shown in the Help &Terms of Use to the right of this screen.

  • Pdf document not sized properly when print is intiated from Outlook Quick Print

    I have some pdf documents that print properly (fit on printed page) when the PDF is being viewed within Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) and I initiate printing from right within Adobe Reader. However, when the same PDF is printed via Outlook's "Quick Print (with the job being routed to Adobe Reader but not initiated by Adobe Reader), the resulting PDF printout is slightly shifted and sized incorrectly.
    Any ideas as what the problem might be? We're trying to set things up so that PDFs sent to a special Outlook email address are automatically printed without user intervention.
    Thank you.

    I believe the PDF you are trying to print is "larger than A4 in size". When we explicity open Reader and print the pdf doc then it scales down the pdf page size but when you print directly from outlook then it prints as per the original size of the document.

  • Flattened image looking different than when layers are all seperate?

    Hello, I have an image that I've made in illustrator/photoshop and I noticed that when I save the image as a jpeg out of photoshop after it is finished it looks way different that it does while in photoshop. I merged the layers just out of curiosity and it looks that way after all of the layers are merged. I have no idea why it is doing that. Is there something I can do to change this? it is just happened to one of my images. I have multiple pieces in this style and it hasn't happened to any of the other ones. Any help is appreciated, thanks

    Try adding a copy merged layer to the top of the stack before flaterning (Shift Alt Ctrl e)

  • Draw document saved as PDF and emailed is faulty when printed

    Each month I create 12 parish-magazine pages of advertisements in Draw, save the set as a PDF document and email it for printing. Consistently, when printed some pages are reproduced smaller than the rest.
    Can someone tell me why, please?

    First-base solution: the pages in question run into the printer's margins and the driver is set to shrink the pages rather than crop them. Check what the printer's margins are and ensure that the document's margins are the same or larger. This sort of problem can arise when you are printing on a printer not connected to the Mac where the document is created (so you don't get a warning).

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Printing a PDF document using Java 1.4 Printing API

    Hi,
    When I tried to print a PDF document using JAVA 1.4 Printing API, I got the following exception.
    Exception in thread "main" sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor
    at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
    at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
    I am able to print the same PDF document using Acrobat reader.
    Is PDF format not supported in JAVA 1.4 printing API? or is something wrong in my code?
    here is the sample JAVA program that I was using
    import javax.print.*;
    import javax.print.attribute.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Printing {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    String filename = args[0];
    PrintRequestAttributeSet pras =
    new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF;
    PrintService defaultService =
    PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
    DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
    job.print(doc, pras);
    Thread.sleep(10000);
    System.exit(0);
    Thank you

    Here's a pure Java solution (that works!):

    The caveats are:

  • Is it possible to give each page within one pdf document a specific set of print settings?

    I have a complex document (catalogue) that requires printing. There are several different printer settings required and each one is specific to each page within the document. For instance pg 1 is single sided in colour, page 2-3 is duplexed in b&w, page 3-8 is duplexed in colour, etc.... Is it possible to give each page within the pdf document a given set of print settings and then print the entire document as a whole?

    Hi jennyskop
    I assume that is not feasible ...You need to give the print command again and select the respective pages and their settings !

  • The way Aperture renders my Nikon RAW (NEF) files look different than...

    The was Aperture renders my NEF files looks different than NX...
    Ok so I use all the in camera setting/tools to the best of abilities to try and cut my editing down as much as possible but when shooting RAW I end up having to tweak every images to get them back to what they really look like... I shoot often RAW and JPG combined and when I open a NEF in NX and a JPG in PS they are identical and need very little work, when I use Aperture the NEF files are very different looking from the JPG (or NEF in NX) and every single one needs tweaking (I get more redish/pinkish skin, often a hint of green cast to (slightly off WB/tone thing) and more contrast.
    Below is screenshot showing the difference between a JPG (or NEF in NX) and a RAW file in Aperture
    [img]http://www.pbase.com/ray645/image/120052970/original.jpg[/img]
    This is just a silly snap shot in very flat overcast light, and has the least amount of shift or difference of any image type so far, when I use strobes, shoot for a more contrasty image, gel for color and manual WB the differences are huge almost to the point that you would think you where looking at two completely different images and not the same NEF opened in different software.
    How do I go about getting Aperture to render my NEF's more like what I shot like NEF in NX, JPG in anything, and even the back of the camera screen?

    Thank you, that seems like will work, just having the boost turned down a bit on import has helped tremendously but I cant stop feeling like I am moving towards the "Fix it in post" mentality
    I will need to get better at tweaking my images... No matter how I try I cant kill the pinking skin or the very faint green glow in blond hair or bright neutral tones without affecting other areas of the image.. I am sure I will figure it out but anyone having any tips or links that could speed up my process I would appreciate it.
    The green is weird its like someone snuck a small florescent light into all my shoots without telling me, not major but enough to be annoying.
    I shoot a ton of motor sports (3000 images a weekend) and shoot JPG and have gotten good at using in camera pre sets, knowing what I got and getting it right in the camera, I wish Nikon would give up the code or whatever is needed for all the info to be carried over to Aperture..... I would pay the $100 or whatever to use the NX engine in Aperture

  • Exporting PDF document to Excel.  When I export a PDF document to Excel containing lists of  people the Excel page shows all the names on  one line several inches deep instead of on separate lines which makes editing impossible.  What am I doing wrong?

    Murray is right. Padding (and margins) is added to the width. However, when using percentages, you should never use figures that add up to exactly 100%.
    Browsers need to convert the percentages to pixels. Because pixels must be whole numbers, some percentages are rounded up, which results in the final element dropping down below its neighbours. With percentages, it's much safer to use values that add up to 98% (99% often works, but 98% is safer).

    Do you capture in RAW or JPEG? What software do you use to view your image? Is your monitor calibrated? What is the brightness level on your camera LCD? All of these information can affect your image. And keep in mind that image on the back of the camera is often brighter and more saturated.
