PDF files merging on print command from windows desktop

Hello,
I have an application from which I want to genarate PDF documents. The application is installed on my personal desktop. To test the process, I downloaded the Adobe PDF converter driver (free download version) and installed the same on my PC. I used control panel to change my deafult printer settings on my PC as this new PDF converter driver.
Now I logged to my application , where I can select the list of documents to be printed. The application always uses default printer of the PC on which its installed. Hence all the documnets got created as individual PDF files on my desktop. This was great.
However my ultimate requirement is when I select a list of documents using my application and give it for print at one shot, all the documents should come as a single PDf file rather individual files. Or else you can define my requirement as any no of dcouments given for print at one go (or one session) must be generated as 1 single PDF file. Is it possible to adjust the PDF converter driver in some way to accomplish this
I made further investigation into this and found Adobe Acrobat pro 9 is a good software to generate PDF. Will purchasing this and installing this s/w solve my current problem. Please advise.

Hi Leonard,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. The answer has not solved the problem yet. My users don't want to manually merge the files. They want it to happen automatically.
The application which prints documents is a simple MS access database. This is available on users personal desktop. As soon as the user opens the MS access, it is programmed in such a way that, the access database runs as a program. It uses DSN to connect to the sybase database and get the details of documents that are pending for print.
At this point MS accesses database starts an itretive process, fetches the data from sybase , calls the correct report template in MS Access , populates it and prints the report using the default printer on which the database resides. Thus it prints the document one by one. By setting the default printer to Adobe PDF converter, we were successful in creating PDF documents rather than printing to paper , but the disadvantage was each document got printed to one file each.
The whole process is coded as VBA module of MS access. my question is by using an API from Adobe SDK, will I be able to make changes in the VBA code of MS access database so that all files requestd for print comes out as a single PDF file.

Saving a pdf file using the print command

I'm having a problem saving a document to pdf using the print command. I'm using an old version of Adobe. it's Adobe Acrobat 6. it is giving me the following error The instruction at "0x775355b2" referenced memory at "0x775355b2". The memory could not be "read". Could someone please help me resolve this issue. Thank you.

The OS and release version of the source file's authoring application have a significant impact on use of Acrobat 6.
For example, Acrobat 8.1 is where Vista support begins.
With MS Office, Acrobat 6 PDFMaker compatiblility is only for Office 97, 2000, XP, and 2003.
Be well...

Print command from linux PC on to Windows Environment

Hi Experts,
We have SAP on Windows and the network printer is also on Windows, the PC with Linux is integrated with network printer i.e when the print command from Linux is given the output is available from the printer (Windows). But when the print command is given through SAP there is no output from Printer (Windows).
When same user logs into Windows the printer command is successful.

hi hari,
Printing SAP documents using Linux client is a little bit tricky if you want to get good printing result just as when you print from your Windows client.
If you want to use G printing method (on Linux client), you can't use SAPWIN on device type since SAPWIN is relying printing method. You must use exact printer driver. For example when you're using Dot Matrix printer Epson LX300+, you can use EPESCP2
I am using different method to cheat this and it's completely work.

Abobe 9: Printing a PDF file using a DOS command

I have Adobe 9.4.0 on a server and would like to print PDF files using a DOS command. The DOS command we are using is:
start Acrord32.exe /T/S/h/O "C:\BO_Archival_Code_Deployment\Print\TINF018_C.pdf" "Lexmark T644 PS3 - 10.192.36.126"
With this, we are able to print only page 1 of the PDF file. The other pages remain unprinted. This means there is no issue related to printer configuration, firewalls, etc.
Other observations:
1) When we print the file manually after opening it in Adobe 9.4.0, all pages are printed.
2) We found that the above command provides different results with Adobe 8.2.6 i.e. with the DOS command, all pages are printed while using Adobe 8.
We are trying to automate some tasks for which we require the PDF files to be printed automatically through a DOS command. We are being advised to use Adobe 9 as technical support for Adobe 8 is likely to be withdrawn soon.
Please can you help.

Sorry. This is a forum for Adobe Connect issues not PDF issues. Please locate the correct forum so your question can be addressed properly there.

Adobe Reader X v10.1.4 no longer sends pdf file to attached printer

wants to save prn file. (Adobe print command shows correct, default printer name.) Printer works fine with other applications and used to print pdf files from Reader X even 2 weeks ago. Windows 7 x64 with MS Security Essentials - all systems up to date, no system changes (hard or soft) other than regular security and version updates.
Ran Adobe Repair and rebooted - print command showing attached printer still asks where to save the prn file instead of sending job to turned on printer which works fine just before and just after Adobe fails to use it. Will install older version of Reader, Adobe offers v9.5 if no one has a better solution since I am clueless.

Thank you so much for trying to help.
From your question I gather you have Reader X v 10.1.4 and have no trouble printing if you send to your printer.
Alas I'm pointing to my one real printer, the Brother I'm sending the pdf file to print. Worked fine for years until a few days ago. Now when I hit "Print" on the bottom right of the below panel I get the "Save As" screen asking where I wish to save the pdf file name I'm trying to print followed by .prn.
I have no problems in any other application printing. If installing an earlier version of Adobe Reader proves it's not v 10.1.4 specifically, I'll have to try and send the prn file to the printer, perhaps by using the old DOS type command, or see if I can print pdf files on another system.
You just made me think to try my backup PC with Adobe Reader X v10.1.0 - This works fine, both on its own printer and on the below named Brother attached to this system. So the problem is either v10.1.4 or some interaction of Adobe with very recently installed Microsoft security or other OS updates for 64bit Windows 7.
THANK YOU!

Export to PDF - Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command?

Post Author: markeyjd2
CA Forum: Exporting
Greetings forum members,
My question is, in its entirety: Can a single report (rpt file) create multiple PDF files using the export command, ideally one PDF file per DB record?
In my case; I have a Crystal Report that reads data from a DB table containing ~ 500 records. When I export the report to a PDF file, I get one PDF file, with ~ 500 pages.
What I would like to do is export the report to ~ 500 individual PDF files; One file per DB record. The file names would be based on the table's primary key.
Is this possible?

Post Author: Micha
CA Forum: Exporting
Hi,
you need some lines of code, but its easy. Dependend on how to start the generation of your 500 PDFs, you can write an ASP page and start it via Web Browser, or a Windows Script and start it via scheduled job...
Here's an abstract of the ASP code I use:
First, you create a recordset (here: "rsc") which gives you the list of ID fields you want to export, then you create CrystalRuntime.Application object, then you loop through the recordset, open your report (here: "oRpt") and set login info. Then set the selectionformula, so that the report displays only the data of the current ID, e.g.:
oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula = "(" & oRpt.RecordSelectionFormula & ") AND {myTab.myVal}=" & rsc("myVal")
Then you export the report, move to the next record in recordset, and repeat the loop until recordset.EOF. Then you close recordset and connection.

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content

3D PDF files in portfolio prints to Adobe PDF printer without content, but if printed from single 3D PDF file everything is fine. I need batch printing (this is the reason I use portfolio) of large amount of 3DPDF files because of the need to have proper preview of these files in browsers. Any ideas or workarounds how to have preview pdf's or jpg's of the single paged 3D PDF files, keeping relevant file names?

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
*Edited*
When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach. A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group. If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

File Open Issues - document library pdf file to open in new browser window

Hi
I have a requirement to open the document library containing pdf file to open in new browser window. So far I have tried following steps but could not get it to work.
1. Changing Document library advance setting to open the document in browser (have tried others as well).
2. SharePoint web application setting changed as Permissive instead of Strict. Here the pdf file opens in browser but redirect from document library instead of new window(Also tried adding Target=”_blank” and no change).
3. Executed the powershell script to adding MIME type to see if it works but no change.
$webApp = Get-SPWebApplication http://SharePointSite
If ($webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes -notcontains "application/pdf")
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Adding PDF MIME Type..."
$webApp.AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeTypes.Add("application/pdf")
$webApp.Update()
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "Added and saved."
Else
Write-Host -ForegroundColor White "PDF MIME type is already added."
4. Open the Doc library and modified ALLItems.aspx to add Target= “_blank”
5. I have already tried solutions suggested in the link:

Appreciate if there are any working solution from any of you. Many Thanks

I found a solution which works only in the development. No idea when I compared, Browser MIME type is enabled, STRICT browser type is configured for web application. on the document library advance setting, default to open in new browser. Both configurations
are identical but I am able to open pdf file in new window in my developing using jquery script

Using the 'route print' Command in Windows 7 - Detailed Screen Captures

The 'route print' Command from an Administrative Command Prompt in Windows 7 provides a variety of useful information. Let's take a look at the output of a 'route print' Command to examine how the output data is grouped and to understand its logic.
Let's begin by simply issuing the following command:
route print
An Administrative Command Prompt output shows the following the following sections of the Command Output:
Figure 1 - Issuing the 'route print' Command from an Administrative Command Prompt in Windows 7
Observing the output of the Command indicates there are 5 Major Sections. The Sections include:
Interface List
IPv4 Route Table
IPv4 Persistent Routes
IPv6 Route Table
IPv6 Persistent Routes
On this Workstation a single Physical Network Interface is visible and has been assigned a DHCP Address of '10.1.1.36'.
The IP Stack for this Workstation is as follows:
IP Address: 10.1.1.36
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.1.1.1
DNS Server: 10.1.1.1
DHCP Server: 10.1.1.1
DNS Suffix: YYY.YYY.isp-provider.net
Most of the time our focus is upon the IPv4 Routing Table output. Here are the sections of the IPv4 Routing Table output for reference.
Figure 2 - The IPv4 Route Table output listing the 'all networks' route through the Default Gateway.
The next IPv4 Routing Table entry indicates '10.1.1.36' (the Host Workstation' is a member of the '10.1.1.1/24' Network and would route packets out the '10.1.1.36' Interface.
Figure 3 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' is a member of the '10.1.1.0/24' Network Subnet.
The next IPv4 Routing Table entry indicates '10.1.1.36' may receive a Broadcast from the '10.1.1.0/24' Network (as noted by the Subnet Mask of '255.255.255.255').
Figure 4 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' can offer a Broadcast on the '10.1.1.0/24 Network' (as noted by the 255.255.255.255 Subnet Mask).
Another IPv4 Routing Table entry focused on Broadcast Addresses is the following. The Host Workstation at '10.1.1.36' may offer Network Broadcasts to the '10.1.1.0/24' Network.
Figure 5 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' can receive Network Broadcasts from the '10.1.1.0/24' Network (as noted by the '10.1.1.255' Network Destination).
The next IPv4 Routing Table entries (3 of them) are focused on the Loopback Network Values of '127.0.0.0/8', '127.0.0.1/32' and the Loopback Network Address of '127.255.255.255/32' respectively. These Addresses provide Services to the Local Host (or Loopback Adapter). The Loopback Network Destination of '127.0.0.0' provides access to the Loopback Network through '127.0.0.1' the Loopback IP Address. The Loopback IP Address of '127.0.0.1/32' receives Limited Local Broadcast to the Loopback Network while the Loopback IP Address of '127.255.255.255/32' provides Limited Broadcast to the Loopback Network.
Figure 6 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' uses 3 Addresses for Services to the 'Local Host'. All 3 Addresses incorporate the '127.x.x.x' format.
Next the Routing Table includes 2 specific entries for the Multicast Network (224.0.0.0/4) for both the 'Local Host' or Loopback Address of '127.0.0.1' and the Host IP Address of '10.1.1.36' that are '224.0.0.0/4' . These are used for Multicast Network functions.
Figure 7 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' includes 2 Multicast Addresses (starting with '240.0.0.0') reserved for use through either the Loopback Address '127.0.0.1' or the Host IP Address '10.1.1.36'.
The last 2 Routing Table entries provides Services through Limited Broadcast Addresses. The Network Destination of '255.255.255.255/32' are the Limited Broadcast Address Ranges for both the Loopback Adapter '127.0.0.1' and the Host IP Address '10.1.1.36'.
Figure 8 - The Workstation Host at '10.1.1.36' includes 2 Limited Broadcast IP Address Values to Service both the Loopback Network '127.0.0.1' and the Host IP Network '10.1.1.36'.
Finally, upon understanding the sections of the Windows 7 Routing Table there are additional functions available when using the 'route' Command. This Blog entry is focused solely on output from the 'route print' Command.
Summary: In this Blog entry focused on using the 'route print' Command from an Administrative Command Prompt in Windows 7. Each of the defined routes for a Workstation running Windows 7 Enterprise were reviewed for reference.

Saving PDF files after opening in Firefox from the web?

When I open a PDF file from my credit union it displays as an HTML document. When I try and save it, it also is an HTML without an option to save it as PDF. IE works fine in this situation. I have selected to open the PDF file in a separate Adobe X window but does not do so.

@masood131 - A few questions:
Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.
