PDF files not printing correctly, only prints graphics (Vista)

Can anyone help me out? When I print a PDF file it only prints certain things,,,,,seems to print the more graphic items and not just plain text. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. I can print fine to my printer from other applications. HP support was no help.
Thanks!
Robin

i might be having similar issue, my hp prints strange/alien looking font with vista/reader/pdf, looks fine on preview though.  'print as image' is the only solution i can find but it doesn't work for me..

  • PDF file not showing correctly in Preview or other apps

    Hi,
    I've trying to find an answer to my question for some time now on the internet, but couldn't find it anywhere. When I open a pdf file from someone who created it using Windows diagrams that are supposed to be Matrices are not showing properly. Most probably the matrices were created using the equation builder in MOffice.
    <-- this is supposed to be a matrix
    There is also a problem with showing symbols like subscripted or superscripted letters (Arrows represent superscripted or subscripted letters, either up or down):
    And for some reason, when I try to quicklook the file, some pages are displayed incorrectly - only showing a quarter of the page:
    Any help on this? Is there some sort of an update to solve this problem, or should I download additional fonts??
    I am using a Macbook Alu from 2008 with OS X Maverick installed - all latest updates are installed.. (However the same problem appeared when using an iPad)
    Thanks a lot i advance!

    Hi Carolyn,
    I looked at your file and it seems the problem is with the resolution. The design is great but the resolution was too low.
    Fortunately your Apple Smart Object was high resolution so I was able to increase the resolution of the file as it is. You will need to replace the Bar Code and possibly the little flower on the back cover with high res versions.
    In the future you need to start with the document being sized right and the resolution at 300 ppi. Make sure your graphics are high resolution from the start as well. You can't regain resolution that was left out, although using High Resolution Smart Objects can give you the the latitude you need to size back up.
    After I sent the file I looked closely at the font. The one font you used does have zaggies but it's supposed to. Bradley Hand ITC TT is kind of a rough font around the edges by design. If this is what seems to be the problem, you will need to change to another font. Still, the file needed to be higher resolution.
    I sent one back to you in high res. All you need to do is replace the bar code and the little flower with high res version. The apple graphic smart object was high enough.

  • Colors in pdf files not displayed correctly on linux acroread

    I have recently observed that the colors in certain pdf files are not displayed correctly in acroread on Linux. Other readers such as evince get it right. Examples are a presentation with white arrows on  a black background which come out as black on black. I suspect, but have not proved, that the files were produced on Mac OS. I see this in acroread version 9.5.1 on a couple of versions of Linux. I googled this but could find no-one else mentioning it. Has anyone else seen it. Looks like a serious bug to me.

    Does this happen with other PDFs on the server? You might check out the Adobe forums.

  • PDF files not displaying correctly

    I have adobe reader 8 and my operating system is Vista. Every time I try to view a PDF file my screen gets messed up. My color quality goes from Highest 32 bit color to the lowest setting. I then either have to reboot my system, or go into my NVIDIA display properties and reset to to highest 32 bit color quality. my resolution is 1440x900. Why are my PDFS not displaying , and my color quality keep going to lowest, every time i use PDF?? .I

    When I try to initiate Adobe Reader 8.1 in vista the window opens then immediately closes. Also when I try to open any PDF file the system locks up and I have to close whatever program is running from Task Manager. I have uninstalled old versions and reinstalled Adboe Reader three times with no error messages and no problems. I'm the system administrator so this should not be an issue. Help!!
    Thanks!

  • How to print pdf file not using the the adobe reader ?

    hello,
    i used the adobe sdk to open a pdf file in read and modify it serveral times and each time save it to another directory,and now i need to write a program to print the pdf file in this directory.when print the file,i want to continue my work also,so who i tell me how to solve this problem?
    thanks.

    The SDK is only a collection of documentation and headers that show you how to interact with and automate Adobe Acrobat and to some extent Adobe Reader. You need a copy of Acrobat or Reader installed on the system in order to use any of the SDK functions. You cannot "print not using the Adobe Reader", unless you have Adobe Acrobat installed on the system instead of Reader.

  • PDF files scanned at B & W print to an HP 2055dn Postscript printer as white on black

    PDF files scanned at B & W print to an HP 2055dn Postscript printer as white on black. Non postscript printers print the same file correctly. This is the case with three different scanners. Scanning the same sheets into greyscale prints fine with all printers.
    HP claims it is not a problem with their printers. Someone from Fujitsu (makers of Scansnap) said to "
    Verify that Advance Emit Transfer (print correction function for the Mac print table) is unchecked. Go to Print > Advanced Emit Transfer Function and click to uncheck. " but I can't seem to find anything like that at all.
    I really prefer to scan in B & W, as I have to scan several hundred pages and the resulting file is both smaller and higher quality than the grayscale files, but I can't print them at home; I have to use the printer at work and that really isn't appropriate.

    Hi,
    Can you try some experiments please - or tell us if you have tried them.
    1) Load a new image (one that hasn't been saved before) into the editor and without saving it, try printing from the editor. It is important that PSE hasn't saved it.
    2) Load any image into the editor and do a Save for Web (you may have to reduce the size) in JPG format and see if you can print that JPG either from PSE or another program.
    Please let us know the results.

    Hello colt1,
    Are you using Bluetooth or USB cable to connect to the printer?  Did you install from the disc, or from the online program?  When it sits there and doesn't print, does it eventually give error messages, lights flashing, etc.? 
    Thanks,

  • Printer will only print from computer won't copy from printer

    My  printer will only print items that i send to it from y email. when i walk out to the printer and try to make copies the pages all come out blank no matter if i use the document feeder or place them on the glass directly. i have turned it off and back on but the problem was not corrected. 

    Hi @sandylouise,
    Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to make copies from the front panel of your HP Photosmart. I would like you to go ahead and perform a Hard Reset:
    1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
    2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
    3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
    4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
    5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
    6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
    7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
    8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
    If after the Hard Reset you are still unable to make copies, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 as it may be the hardware. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

    I have an HP deskjet color printer that only prints in black and white from my mac ... how do I get it to print in color

    Check the printer itself.  Some printers you need to set the color & B&W settings on the printer itself instead of the Mac.   If that is not the case w/your printer, contact HP tech support and/or post in their forums if they have one. 

  • How do I set up my printer to only print in black?

    how do I set up my printer to only print in black?

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system?   Depending on your printer model you might remove the color cartridge, forcing black only printing, or select "Print in Grayscale" and "Black ink only" in the driver. 
    Some printer models (whether from HP or other manufacturers) may not allow printing in black if the color inks are empty.  There are also some other constraints, black only printing is generally not available when printing on photo papers and may not be available when printing with an automatic two-sided duplexer.
