PDF printing error in some reports

Hi,
I am using apache-tomcat-6.0.26 + cocoon-2.1.11 as my PDF print server for Apex. I tested the server and found out that, for simple reports with very limited parameters, PDF download worked find. However, for reports that have certain parameters, it said something like "Adobe Reader cannot open the file because it is either not a supported file type or file is damaged...".
Also, how can I change the memory size to 512 of Tomcat on Windows?
Any help?
Thanks.
Andy

Hi Andy,
Do the parameters that you enter into the report generate any result set?
I don't really know what is causing the error you experiencing but I found that sometimes I would get a similar error when I attempted to print a report to PDF that contained no data (although I was using BI Publisher). Not sure if this has something to do with it...
Alternatively, there could be characters within the word document, like brackets (), that could be causing the issue. I think it still causes an issue even if it is in the data itself.
I would start off with a simple report and then add a little bit of functionality at a time, and then test, to work out which part of the report is causing you grief.

PDF Printer error from IE8

I can use the PDF Printer with no problems in any situation except when trying to print to PDF in Windows 7 which uses IE8. I can't create a PDF from any web page at all. The document never gets created and the print queue reports that there was an error but it doesn't identify the error.
I tried disabling my antivirus program and I tried disabling the Windows 7 firewall but neither resolved the issue. I also disabled accelerators in IE8 but that didn't work either.

I have the same problem and running v9.2
Still no answer I can find. I refuse to turn off protected mode so end up printing to a MS Document writer/office image printer. If I need a pdf I convert that.
It about time Adobe fixed it

PDF Print Error

I have been using CS5 for the last two years to create a .indb file. I always export the book as a PDF and then send it to my printer. I recently had to change laptops and decided to give CC a try on the trial version. I used all the same content and images that I have always used to create the Indesign book. But when I exported the PDF and sent it to print, the printer came back saying that there was a print error and she was unable to print past certain pages. She could open the document and see everything but when she would try to print, a dialogue box would pop up saying there was an error.
I am using a Macbook Pro. Any thoughts?

We are experiencing similar issues. Have you tried saving the print file as postscript and then use Distiller to create the PDF.
We are using older versions of distiller as a work around.
We have some client's that print to a PDF server that are not experiencing this issue with CC publishing apps.
We are continuing to evaluate the CC publishing functionality, we will report our findings once we have the facts.
In the mean time, find work around's, get the jobs out and keep getting paid.

Trying to reinstall using "setup.exe" in fixing 64-bit Adobe PDF printing error...?

Greetings. I found the following solution to my problem in the Adobe forums:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html
The text is:
Manually extract the file "adobepdf.dll_64" from the data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.
Navigate to the folder that contains the setup.exe file for your Acrobat 8 installation.
Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (you sometimes need a third-party compression utility, such as WinZip, to extract the file).
Inside the content listings, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.
Run the installer setup.exe and when the prompt appears, choose browse and select the file you copied to the desktop.
Incredibly, my problem starts at #4. How do I run the installer program? I found both the command prompt and the run functionality on the start menu (yes, Windows 8, KMN). Couldn't get either of them to run the installer, and I cannot seem to find the correct .exe file in the directory. Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

The problem may be related to trying to install AA8 on Win8. You may or may not be successful, or at least fully successful. The first thing after completing the install is to open Acrobat and go to the Help>Updates and install all updates (in order if more than one appears, and repeating until no updates are shown). You can also install the updates manually in order using http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
There is a good chance with AA8 that the print driver will not install. If that is the case, find a nice PS color print driver for an HP or other PS printer. Install that and change the name to Adobe PDF printer. Check the ports -- if an Adobe PDF port is present, select that and if not change the port to FILE.
You should be able to print to the new PDF printer to obtain a PS file. Open that file (the extension may be PRN) in Distiller to obtain a PDF.
The alternative is to buy the newest version of Acrobat (XI).

PDF printing errors with InDesign CS4 docs

I've discovered somewhat belatedly that since upgrading from CS3 to CS4, every pdf I have created in InDesign (a dozen or more) won't print. After a general error message, "the document could not be printed," I get one or both of these messages: "there were no pages selected to print" or "a drawing error occurred." I have variously tried every page selection option to no avail. I have also tried recreating the pdfs from the original ID files with different export settings, again with no success. PDFs exported from other programs are not a problem, nor is printing from InDesign. I'm on a Mac. Any thoughts?

My (admittedly Clonescript) HP prints this without error messages but prints in Courier anything done in Optima ExtraBlack, which claims to be embedded, but seems not to be. My PCL printer prints this without errors or problems.
If I bring this back into CS4 and export back to PDF, it prints properly in Optima ExtraBlack.
If I edit it in Acrobat 7, I can change Optima Extrablack (not on system) to Optima Extrablack (on system) and it prints properly.
I would want to look into your Optima Extrablack font. First try substituting different fonts, something generic like Helvetica (not as a solution, just as a test). If that fixes it, try substituting something generic only for Optima Extrablack (the "A House of BRIC" head and the drop folio). If that fixes it, make a document that uses only Optima Extrablack. If that fails, look into uninstalling and reinstalling Optima Black.
BTW, you don't have Reader 8 and Acrobat Pro 9 installed on the same machine, do you? This is not recommended, although I don't know what particular problems it causes.
There's quite a bit about the drawing error if you google it. In particular, this might be relevant (while somewhat off-color): http://groups.google.com/group/adobe.acrobat.windows/msg/8dc9a7dfea59a57d?hl=en&

FOP PDF Printing error

I just started working with APEX last week, but I noticed that if I try to print a PDF SQL report that contains a SQL function ie. COUNT() or with a variable, I receive the "not a supported file type" error. Basic SQL reports print to PDF just fine. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Edited by: user4974317 on Jan 22, 2009 5:55 AM

I was able to figure out what was causing the error. The column aliases in the SQL needed to be specified, the pdf generator didn't use the custom headings in the report attributes.

PDF Printing Error: "invalidfont", "Offending Command: xshow"

i saw similar discussions that were not exactly what I was looking for, so I decided to post my own:
I have a critically important document that I've created that is refusing to print correctly due to the errors in my thread title here. After a lot of trial and error (different machines, different OS's, etc.) we've determined that it is a problem with the font inclusion, however, the "offending" font(s) - it's an OpenType Google Font Family - is one that I've used in dozens of other PDF's, in all sorts of combinations and variants, and have never had an issue before this document. This is coming at a critically inconvenient time, given the nature of the project and given that the aforementioned font (Roboto), is part of our brand identity.
I have made a PDF with the type converted to outlines, but that balloons the file size up to around 11MB (from 278KB). I dont mind the conversion, but if there were a way to do this and reduce the size to something more manageable, I'd be thrilled (ideally <5 MB).
The document is ALL (relatively simple) vector imagery and fonts, and I've not yet experimented with the resolution slider in the text outlining portion of the PDF dialogue (have no idea how relevant this would be in a vector document, given that it's not RASTERIZING the outlined type).
Any help would be so tremendously appreciated.
Thank you!!!

Thanks for the information. It actually does help narrow what the problem might be.
Further question. What happens if you try to print from Adobe Acrobat to this printer? Same problem?
Observation! The printer in question, the Konica Minolta Bizhub C364e, doesn't use Adobe PostScript, but rather, an Konica Minolta knockoff. Many of the printing issues that we have seen in the past associated with fonts are caused by these so-called “emulations” of Adobe PostScript. (And by the way, you should never outline or rasterize type to compensate for a bad RIP!) It would be helpful if you could try printing this same PDF file via either Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat to a real PostScript printer, such as a Xerox Phaser, ColorQube, or WorkCentre printers or similar printers from Ricoh or Canon (make sure they are recent models with Adobe PostScript 3 as opposed to emulation of Adobe PostScript. (Or you could bring the PDF file to FedEx Office and have them try to print it - they have printers with Adobe PostScript 3 provided by EFI Fiery RIPs!)
Another point. When saving PDF from Illustrator, make sure you use the PDF/X-4 output options. This preserves live transparency and color management.
Let us know if printing via Adobe Reader or Acrobat and/or printing to Adobe PostScript devices solves this issue.
If it doesn't, we definitely would like to see a sample of this problem here at Adobe. Possibly you could pare down the file to something that you could release to us (under NDA of course).

I can go direct from word or my document scanner to PDF with no problems. I did notice though, that I have two instances of Acrobat 11 Pro under Installed Programs.

2. Adobe Systems Incorporated, 5/14/2013, 1.85 GB, version 11.0
Perhaps this is causing some sort of conflict but which one do I remove?
Please help.

Id CS6. I keep getting message that update failed. Using W7 SP1.
I was printing to PDF because that was the way I had always done it on previous versions of acrobat. But I just read on one of the forums to export to PDF which I did and the issue was resolved. I found that there was a quantum leap in output to PDF by exporting.
Thank you for your help.

PDF Print error win printing many pages

Hi.
I have a problem then I try to print an PDF file with many pages.
I have Windows 2003 as the OS, and the Adobe PDF Reader X 10.1 as my PDF reader, the printer is an HP LaserJet M602n with 512MB Memory.
The setup is that we have some thin clients that have the printer driver, the driver is HP LaserJet 4200n or HP LaserJet 4050n, and it works fin on the HP LaserJet M602 with small PDF files and Word and other text files.
But then I print PDF files with many pages it is spooling fin but win it is going to print it says error, with out the printer is doing anything.
Will a print server help me?
Or is there a solution to my problem?

Hello
Before re-installing, it may be useful to
a - repair permissions with Disk Utility
b - trash the preferences file: <bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plis t
if it's not sufficient, try to print from an other user account.
If it works this way, you will know that the application's files are not the wrongdoers as every account calls the same application file.

Hyperlinked Pages Generate Unknown Printing Error

I'm working in a 300+ page catalog that I've never had problems with. Today it decided to give methe following error when trying to print or export to a PDF:
"Printing Error: The Adobe Print Engine has failed to output your data due to an unknown problem."
The error shows up when trying to print from seperate computers and from CS4 AND CS5. I've trouble shooted the advice found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332622.html but I think it's something else.
The odd thing is that I can print and export to PDF pages without hyperlinks or cross-sreferences. It's only when I try to print a hyperlinked page that I get the error. The only change I've made since the last time it printed/exported properly is adding a couple hundred more cross-references.
I'm on a tight deadline and right now I can't get my file out of InDesign. Anyone have ideas?

This is interesting ...
When I package the file and check everything off to be included it processes everything as it should EXCEPT it doesn't package the linked images. Then when I open the packaged copy of the document with broken image links I'm able to print ...
So apparently the problem has to do with my images but it's only affecting pages with hyperlinks. This is weird.
Well if that's the case open the images and do a save-as and see if they come good

How do I deal with "Acces Denied" error when trying to print to Adobe PDF printer driver

Windows 7 64 bit OS (updated)
Adobe Acrobat XI (11.0.06.70)
I am unable to create a PDF file from within the Windows 7 print dialog. Each time, I receive a terse "Access Denied" error followed by the display below (the progress bar never advances). I thought upgrading to Adobe Acrobat XI might fix this but no such luck. It seems that others have experienced similar issues. I noticed in the display below that Adobe is trying to create the file in a folder which does not exist (at least I can't see it even after setting my preferences to display hidden files). I have the hope that, if the folder were present and accessible, Adobe would create the file without trouble. Is there a way to instruct Adobe Acrobat XI to create this temporary file in a different location? One of my frustrations is that I used to be able to print Adobe Acrobat files without trouble on the same computer. I wonder whether the use of a registry cleaner may have contributed to my problem.
What are the best practices for addressing the Access Denied and inability to print problems I've encountered?
Thanks for any help you can provide in sorting out this problem.
Best,
Matt

I have been having the exact same problem with Adobe Acrobat X. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times and applied all the latest updates. Every time I try to print ANTHING to the Adobe PDF print driver, the software hangs (MS Office, webpage, or other programs). When I finally kill the process using Task Manager, I find the little "Access Denied" box. This has been happening for nearly one year. I have limped along since I have other computers to use. I have attempted to find answers on this forum in the past, and no one seems to have a clear answer to the problem.
I, too, was tempted to upgrade to XI, but Matt's post settled the matter, since it did not help him.
I am using Win 7 Home (64 bit) and until this issue started, I have had no problem with AA X.
Where are the Adobe experts when you need them? Please help us.

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available. Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
Any ideas as to what - if anythjing I can do?

Hi,
Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
Hope this helps.
