PDF printing issues on Windows 7

I have a pc that is having issues printing pdfs. It is very slow.
Here is the steps along with the issues associated with each one.
1. Clicking Print Icon on Tool bar. It freezes momentarily when this happens and states "Not Repsonding".
2. The print dialog box comes up (but is very slow about doing this after the "Not Responding" issue.
3. The status bar dialog box comes up. It freezes here for a moment.
4. The image finally prints.
This is a new problem that recently happened.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the software.
This used to be a job that happened in seconds. It is now taking about a minute per pdf.
If you could please let me know if there is any way to fix this issue.
Thank You.
Melissa Gulledge

I have Acrobat reader XI. It is local PDFs from scanning images and faxes. It is not color or anything.

PDF Printing issue (passing static items)

Hello experts,
I am starting out with PDF printing from Apex and have a small (I hope) issue. I have downloaded a demo from Oracle site and all works OK.
To test the ability to create my own RTF templates I have added an additional item on the page called P3_PAWEL
Then I have added a field in the RTF template (by copying the existing field from elsewhere in the template and changing its property name)
As a last step I have added the item in the Report Quearies page by clicking on Session State > and adding the P3_PAWEL item to the list.
When I now print the report all still works OK but I do not see anything on the report where (in the template) I put my P3_PAWEL text field.
Any ideas what else I am missing here?
Regards,
Pawel.

What you are after is the Oracle XML Publisher Desktop.
Goto :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/publishing/index.html
and download Oracle XML Publisher Desktop 5.6.2 for Microsoft Windows. It is 100Mb.
It adds some buttons to MS Word.

Silent PDF Printing 64 bit Windows - 32 bit Application

I have a windows 7 64 bit machine at work and am having issues getting the Adobe PDF printer to recognize the registry key for silent printing. I'm using Acrobat X. It works fine from a 64 bit application. I tested the 64 bit version of wordpad and it will pick the key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl) for it's application name and print automatically. If I use the 32 bit version it won't pick up what's in the registry for that application name. The main goal here is to be able to print to pdf from Access 03 (yeah I know). The code works on a 32 bit system. Thanks in advance for any help.

WWI - pdf printing problems on Windows Vista

At the moment the workstations are being upgraded from Windows 2000 untill Windows Vista 32 bit (it's a big company....)
At the Vista machines there are problems with WWI and PDF printing. At the windows 2000 workstations there is no problem.
The LPF file is being created.
In the GLMpt.exe a printer is selected and the print job gets started but there is no popup where to save the PDF file.
We can see the document in the printer queue, but there are no messages, errors, etc. It keeps waiting, but there is no popup, where to save the PDF file.
PDF printer = PDF955

Hello
please take a look in SAP marketplace. There are a number of important OSS available regarding"general" topics of WWI (recent version of WWI) and common questions. MOst of the OSS are of type "recommendation / additional info" etc.
It is known that not all combinations of Windows version together with WWI version together with SAP version together with Adobe version are suported or that problems can come up.
Main issues are:
- used Word version
- Used Windows version
etc.
With best regards
C.B.
PS: take a look in this thread EHS- WWI Label printing issues with Word 2007
regarding important OSS notes

PDF Print Issue

Hello ALL,
I'm stuck on an Issue w/ PDF printing for columns which has '&' (ampersands) in the data. I'm trying to escape the Ampersands in the SQL Query using the APEX_UTIL. URL_ENCODE, but the report doesn't show-up right.
I initially tried the replace with '%26amp;' , the PDF export works, but the IR report is messed-up. Can any of you guys shed some light on this ?
Thanks
Prashanth

Which broswer and what OS? You might want to configure the browser to open pdfs in stand alone in AA rather than within the browser window, or v/v.

Unable to print directly to PDF Printer Driver on Windows Vista

I'm having problems printing directly to my PDF printer drivers - neither "Adobe PDF" nor "Adobe PDF Converter" seems to work. The printer either gives me an error or when it asks me to save it to a folder, it seems to send the file into the atmosphere! I have Acrobat 8 Professional (Adobe CS3) on a Windows Vista Premium operating system. I tried downloading the Adobe distiller file "Winsteng.exe" but got an error when I tried to install it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating! Thanks in advance.

What kind of file are you trying to print? Is this a recent issue or was it happening earlier as well? Repairing your Acrobat installation will definitely help you.
Also Can you share your screen shot of the following dailogs:
1) Printers and Faxes
2) Printing Preferences... (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...)
3) Advanced Options (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Printing Preferences...->Paper/Quality->Advanced...)
4) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Advanced Tab)
5) Advanced Properties (Go to Printers and Faxes->Right click on Adobe PDF Printer->Properties->Ports Tab)

Acrobat Pro 9 pdf Printer issue

Hello! Hope everyone is having a great day!
I have a small issue with the 9.0 printer. It is part of my print cue, can print to it, the print dialogue says that the job is completed, but the file never shows up.
I am running a MacBook with OSX 10.5.8 and have Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.1.3.
Any ideas would be helpful. My apologies if I did not provide enough information to do so! Cheers.
Jeremy

If you have X.5.8. look here:
I've blacked out my computer identity. This is based on on my OSX.4.11 Setup.
In reading up on Snow Leopard I 've read in MacWorld and what was Mac Addict that lots of things have been changed moved around or renamed in Snow Leopard. So Your milage may vary.
As for Getting back the PDF Printer in Snow Leopard. Because of the new Security system in Snow Leopard, as the saying goes it ain't going to happen.

Acrobat PDF Printer Hangs in Windows 8

I am running Windows 8 Enterprise RTM 64-bit on an Intel i7-3770 3rd gen CPU, Z77 chipset. I've found that most PDF printers I have been using on Windows 7 now hang on 8, including the Acrobat X printer (latest version). I have found one free alternative that works fine, but would like to get back to using the Acrobat printer. Will Adobe be releasing an update that addresses the hang?
Above is a screenshot afterr more than ten minutes:

Hello All
I have been struggling with this same problem of Printing to Acrobat PDF driver freezing up not only the print spooler, but also the software I was printing from, on Windows 7 64Bit, using both acrobat 9.4 and Acrobat X with the same freeze, stall lockup result.
I think this is the same problem you are having.
I found many questions about this online but no useful answers, and alot of fingerpointing trying to blame different programs and combinations of software.
The 1 solution, which created a PDF and did not freeze, was to switch of the choice of a saving location in the PDf driver and setting a fixed PDF save location instead of the ASK for location option.
This worked but was a real pain having to move and rename the file each time.
This got me thinking that there was actually nothing wrong with the PDF driver.
The problem seemed to be the user input to save the file to a certain location.
I then experimented and found that if I was fast enough with a file name, that the save to location option did not freeze up when creating the PDF.
By repeatedly trying to print and looking at the print dialog box I noticed that after a count of 5 seconds the Acrobat PDF print driver progress box greyed slightly (Asif loosing focus) and after that happened there was no hope of a successful PDF.
The 5second timer got me thinking about a windows timeout, rather than a PDF option.
PDF Print Freeze Problem Solution:
Windows 7 64 bit (And I assume Windows 8 too) has a default program timeout of 5 seconds after which Windows considers a program to be NOT RESPONDING.
The time during which the PDF printer is waiting for a response from you for a save location, is seen as inactive by Windows and Windows decides that the Print driver has stalled.
Something then changes anough to effect the driver, and once the PDF print driver is allowed to carry on and save the PDF it can't anymore and stalls.
Solution is to edit the HungAppTimout in the Windows Registry, and set it to something like 20000 to 30000 = 20 to 30 seconds.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978614.aspx (Info regarding the Registry Key)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout
This then give you 20-30 seconds to select a save location for your PDF.
In my case (Windows 7 64bit) the Registry entry was missing.
I had to create it from scratch and reboot.
If ENTRY IS MISSING:
Goto the folder in the registry
Right Click - NEW - STRING VALUE
Name it exactly as above including CAPS: HungAppTimeout
Set the value to 20000 (For 20 seconds or more if you need it)
Reboot Windows.
After that Printing to PDf with Acrobat works 100%.
Note this option also helped on my Windows XP PC.
I hope this prevents others from struggling as much as I did to fogure this out.
Regards

Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue on printing Large Reports

Hello All,
I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
Much awaited for your assistance

Matt,
On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc
Regards,
Marc

Unusual InDesign/PDF/Printer Issue

I am currently using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat Professional 8.
I received a CS4 file that I could not open from another designer, he saved it as a .inx file which opened in CS3. I made the changes to the document, relink the images, and when I would export to pdf, the images in the design will print with a faint box around them, when in fact they are images that are cutout (have no background). 3 images are .tiffs and one is a .psd. They all look fine on a computer screen, but when it prints, the box shows up. We printed the pdf on several different printers and on one printer there is a box around those images. On another printer the box is not there. I'm not sure if its an Indesign issue, PDF issue or a printer issue. I've tried exporting it as PDF/X-1a:2001, that didn't work.
Please help! Thanks.

The directory structure for the template files are the same for Desktop and Server.
When I open up the PDFs generated by both, doing a side by side comparision, the server looks blurry at 125% zoom level while desktop looks sharp.

V10.1.5 upgrade - Adobe PDF printer issues - font embedding

Hi,
Accepted the 10.1.5 (Acrobat Standard) upgrade. Have started having "Adobe PDF" printer failures with MS Outlook 2010: Font embedding issues.
Is there a setting somewhere I need to tweak to tell it to substitute with another font when it runs into licensing issues?
I've re-installed CutePDF as a workaround, but would prefer to use the Adobe printer.
save-as-filename.log:
"%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: LucidaSans cannot be embedded because of licensing restrictions. ]%%
%%[ Font vendor (B&H) does not permit this font to be embedded in PDF. ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfont; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%
Stack:
500
/l
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%"
Regards,
JD

In the settings file you should be able to set to continue even if the embed fails. In that case, I think you will simply have the PDF without the one font being embedded. You can also set to never embed it in the settings file (if you can find it on your system).

CS6 PDF Printing Issues

For years I have succesfully used the "Adobe PDF" printer as a way to print PDF files from photoshop files. i create a lot of architectural images consisting of layers of raster images and text that are typically 24 x36 @ 300 dpi. I have used this process, rather than saving as a PDF, because printing resulted in the smallest file size. I have used this method for years with CS3 and for the past few months with CS6. Just recently I started getting the following error through a .log file:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: imageDistiller; ErrorInfo: DictCRC --nostringval-- ]%%
Stack:
( """""""!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"##" !" "! !! ###########$$$"!! !!!!!!! ...)
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
Do other users use the Adobe PDF printer as a method for creating PDF files and has anyone else experienced this issue? I have figured out a work-around, but I would prefer that the software continue to perform as it has in the past.
Thanks!

A quick Google search gives me some interesting results, f.e.:

* https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/984082
-> this insinuates that it might be an upstream-bug.
I think I read somewhere that cups has changed from PDF to PS as the 'backend', and that means that a PDF that used to be fed directly to the printer, now has to be converted to PS. This same change has given me lots of headaches to print from libreoffice...

PDF printing issues [SOLVED]

Ever since cups got a major upgrade I've had constant problems printing PDF-documents. I've searched and looked for solutions for more than a month. My guess was that I had messed something up by installing some kind of conflicting package that I couldn't track down. However since I made a fresh install the other day on a new SSD I could get a fresh start.
Printer: HL-Brother 5370DW
Cups and its dependencies: updated according to stable repositories with nothing added from AUR or modified packages
Issues before on older install:
- pdf printing, using common Linux tools, resultet in documents filled with thin grey lines
- Acroread would work but then it doesn't have the same dependencies
Issues on fresh install:
- pdf printing works... but screw up font size and page layout (font size is for whatever reason bigger, marginals smaller, and paragraphs that don't fit are seen as thin grey lines as described earlier)
- Acroread still works
Debugging of cups don't give much since there's no obvious errors. Related to the printer the following can be noted:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Inserted workaround PostScript code for Brother printers
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Page = 595x842; 12,12 to 583,830
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] slow_collate=0, slow_duplex=0, slow_order=0
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] [Job 9] Before copy_comments - %!PS-Adobe-3.0
A haven't noticed any issues besides the PDF related ones. Maybe it's related to the same possible reason as some suggest, a conflict between poppler and cups filter. Debugging of cups gives this:
D [12/Jul/2012:12:45:05 +0200] PID 7342 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstopdf) exited with no errors.
Does anyone know a solution for Brother printers like mine? Is there a solution in the pipeline that I could test?

CS5 printing issues with Windows 7

I have recently upgraded to windows 7 64bit and CS5. My printer is a Xerox Phaser 8560. I cannot print any vector art from any creative suite program. The print preview is correct but when it prints, the image is small and on one side of the paper and a second blank page prints right after that. I did not have this problem with my previous XP and CS4. I have went to Xerox and downloaded the right printer driver for windows 7 64 bit and even upgraded my firmware. The only way I can print correctly is a bitmap. For instance, when I print from acrobat I always have to have "print as image" checked. It prints correct in photoshop too, It seems it will only print bitmaps from CS. Anything from Illlustrator, Indesign will not print correctly. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Please HELP! I cannot find any resolutions.
Thanks
