PDF printing problem using generic template

Good Morining,
I am having problems displaying mulitple rows in my report heading in my pdf report.
ex:
      Report Name
       Reported as of :       15-JAN-2014
       # of Units:                  All Units
       Compoment Type:   All
This displays correctly on the Oracle Hosted site. On my site I will only see the first 2 lines and everything else gets cut off.
I am currently using Apex 4.2.2.00.11.
Thanks,
Mary

All SAP said was review note 1993576 ... which I did, and that requires SP13 to be implemente, which is not available yet.
I imported the note in transaction SNOTE, but still I only get the first line of my headings appearing
Cheers,
Andrew

Frame Maker 9 and 10 PDF Print problem

Frame Maker 9 and 10 PDF Print problem
Hi I have an computer with windows 7 and the Adobe Software.
The Distiller 9 with adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Design Standard CS3 is also installed.
Now, I open in Frame Maker 9(Full Version) or 10(Trial Version)   an *.fm File. Then I go to “File- save as pdf” and then save I receive an message like this:
“to execute the ‘Save as PDF’ is necessary to have install Acrobat Distiller 5.05 or higher”. But I have the Distiller 9.
Then I can click OK and now I receive another message like this: “you must define “PDF job options” if you want to execute it.”
If I look for the PDF job options I can’t select something. But if I look in the Distiller I have a lot of option I can select.
What is the problem. Is there a solution?
Can somebody help me?

Using AW 6.2.9 and Mac OS X v10.5.7, the file prints successfully to pdf using the "Save as PDF..." option in the print dialogue. I didn't try to print the result to paper, but that appears to eliminate the file itself as the cause of the problem.
Two first aid steps that might resolve the issue:
Delete the AW preferences.
In the Finder, click the house icon (yourname) in the sidebar of a Finder window, then Library > Preferences..
   Locate and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
   Open the folder AppleWorks
      Delete both cache files and the two preferences files.
      It's also safe to delete the Button Bars file, but unless you have issues related to the Button Bars, you're also safe to leave it there.
AppleWorks will create new (and clean) versions of these files as it needs them.
Repair Permissions.
Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Launch the application, select your startup drive, click First Aid, click Repair Permissions.
Regards,
Barry

More PDF Printing Problems

There are lots of notes in this forum crying about PDF printing problems. For what it's worth, I'd like to add mine.
I'm using Jakarta FOP to generate a PDF on the fly from XML data. The PDFs it's producing are read and displayed nicely by Adobe Acrobat and print from Acrobat without a problem.
I've also written a simple desktop app that exercises the java.print package. (I won't bore anybody with a listing.) It uses the PrintServiceLookup to discover the two networked printers I have attached to my machine, using DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE. I have it discover all the supported document flavors. Here's the result:
application/octet-stream
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref
image/gif
image/jpeg
image/png
I can sent text documents to the printer without a problem. But when I try to send a PDF generated by FOP that renders and prints fine from Acrobat, I get gibberish text out. I'm using DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE as my DocFlavor when I create the doc.
I don't see application/pdf on my list of supported document flavors. Should I? If that's a requirement, what do I have to do to the printer to get it on the list? Why is Adobe Acrobat smart enough to print to a printer wo/ this flavor and javax.print not? TIA - MOD

Now I get it - I can't send PDFs from Java to a printer. A careful reading of forum threads and John Zukowski's note have driven a stake into the heart of the vampire.
I can bring them up just fine by creating the PDF using FOP and then sending the page back to the browser for rendering. If my client could just print the document from his machine, all would be well.
However, my app has a situation where some label printers will ONLY be attached to the server. They won't be visible from the client. I thought I had a solution with javax.print, but now that hope's gone.
The printers I have aren't Postscript, so suggestions to ask FOP to generate Postcript won't help me.
Adobe's site didn't offer any relief.
I haven't been able to find any for-fee or open source packages that might help. Plenty of stuff out there to convert to PDF, but nothing that helps to print it once you have it.
Is there any point in entering this as a bug in the database? It's less bug and more vaporware. After all, the docs never SAID they'd thrown an invalid flavor exception if you tried to print a PDF.
Sun, are you listening? - MOD

Reader 9 PDF printing problems

I have a Kyocera FS-C5015N. When I print any multi-page PDFs to the FS-C5015N, only the first page comes out or nothing at all. I have tracked the problem down to Adobe Reader 9. I say this because I can successfully print multi-page PDFs using version 8.2. But I cannot with v9. I have downloaded the latest drivers from Kyocera's website. Same problem. I can successfully print with Word, Excel, etc. just not Adobe Reader v9. Any ideas on what I can do to resolve this issue? Thanks.

I do realize that not all printers are affected. However, the problem is clearly with Adobe Reader 9. The reason I say this is that the problem does NOT exist with Adobe Reader 8. The problem ONLY occurs with Adobe Reader 9. Furthermore, I am not sure what specific resolution to this printer you are referring to, but there hasn't been a solution presented thus far that is an actual fix for the problem. Originally, I identified that if I selected "Print to Image" the entire multi-page PDF would print as expected. Although, this solution causes the multi-page PDF to print very slowly (for the reasons noted by Mike). Another reader reported that if you install FoxIT PDF Reader, multi-page PDFs print just fine. I have verified that installing FoxIT Reader DOES INDEED allow me to print multi-page PDFs to our FS-C5015N. Again, if it was purely a driver issue, why would a multi-page PDF opened with FoxIT Reader print as expected while the same PDF opened with Adobe Reader 9, not print as expected? There also were a couple other posts about using the generic Kyocera KX driver. This is not an option for us. Finally, there was a post about changing the Post Script driver setings. We do not use the Post Script driver. And just as a side note, we have tried using the Post Script driver to see if this will resolve the multi-page PDF issue, and it does not. With that said, I implore Adobe to once again acknowledge this problem and provide users with a fix. This is a very frustrating problem.

Printing problem in Web-templates

Experts
Can you please help me out with my WAD printing issue, please?
I have some reports designed in SAP BI using WAD. Some of the reports have data tables, where as others have data tables as well as graphs in them.
When I right click the reports with graphs and data tables, and choose option "Print Version" from the context menu, (to generate a PDF) I get a standard pop-up (where I can do my print settings), but after I click OK, I donot get the pdf generated out of the report.
The funny thing is that the printing (pdfs) works OK when there are just data tables in the report. I have checked the properties of Web-items/web-templates but havnt found anything wrong with the setting.
There is no setting as such for printing/generating pdfs that I could find for web-templates.
Have you had such a problem before? Can you help please?
Thanks
M.
PS: There are some other reports which my colleagues have developed for another sub project and the printing works absolutely fine !

Hi,
Since PDF print is working for tables,it looks you have ADS installed correctly.
I would ask you to refer to note 1069368 and check the supported and unsupported PDF prints.If this does not resolve the issue then as per note 1052659,check the default trace file.This should give a vital information on what exactly the issue is.

Quark / PDF Printing Problems (Save as PDF in OS X)

I upgraded from Quark 4.1 to 6.5 about a year ago, and ever since then the files I create and print don't look as good. The primary issue seems to be color -- colors don't come out as deep, there seems to be less color saturation, sometimes colors are just pretty far off. I'm working in Mac OS 10.4.8.
For many years my method has been to design documents and output as PDFs to be professionally printed. These days my PDFs don't print as well. I suspect that the problem has to do with the process of creating the PDF. In Quark 6.5 I create PDFs by selecting "Save as PDF" from Quark's Print menu. Back when I was using 4.1, since Quark didn't have a built-in PDF-creator, I would go into the Chooser, select AdobePS as my printer, and then just choose Print in Quark and it would "print" to a PDF.
One other problem I've had since the upgrade is that the PDFs Quark creates are HUGE files -- tens or hundreds of megs -- often too large to email. When I used to create PDFs from the identical Quark files using 4.1, the resulting PDFs printed much better and were much smaller files (often far less than 1 meg). Solving the color problem is a higher priority for me than solving the file size issue, though.
I've spent a lot of time trying to troubleshoot this with our local printer here in Albany, NY (the same guy who printed my stuff in the old days, when it came out looking a lot better). Things we've tried that haven't seemed to solve the problem:
- Increasing the LPI to 300
- Checking the box for Full Resolution Tiff Output
- Experimenting with OPI active and not
- Experimenting with different PDF options like "Save as PDF," "Compress PDF," "PDF-X," etc. (Compress PDF does result in smaller PDFs, but the quality of the resulting prints is even worse)
Also, if anyone has suggestions about Quark-specific forums I could post this to, let me know. I tried creating an account on the discussion forms on Quark's website, but I don't receive their confirmation email to confirm my account.
Any advice greatly appreciated -- thanks so much!

iBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) Quark 6.5

Marshall,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
colin clarke1’s info is spot on. I will add a bit more. Acrobat Professional includes Distiller in addition to a print driver called Adobe PDF 7.0 (version number matches version of Acrobat). I think the print driver installs automatically, but if not, you should choose to install it and then it will show in your list of printers. This will allow you to make PDFs from Quark XPress much as you did with Quark 4.1.
Distiller comes with some pre-defined Settings (formerly know as Job Options) for different types of printing, i.e., Smallest file (low-resolution like online viewing), Standard, High Quality, Press Quality and others. These Settings are general standards in the industry in terms amount and type of image compression, font embedding, color management, compatibility with previous Acrobat versions and etc.
colin clarke1’s method of saving a Quark doc as a PostScript and then distilling it is one method. (You can set this in your Quark Preferences.) Alternatively, you could do the following within Quark XPress…
(a) Select Print, which brings up the Print window. At the bottom of the window are some buttons. Click on Page Setup and in its window, for Format for: select the Adobe PDF 7/8, the appropriate Paper size and then OK.
(b) Returning to the Quark print window, make all the necessary choices for Layout, Setup, Output, Options, Layers, Bleed, OPI and Profiles.
(c) Next, click on the button Printer (at the bottom) which brings up a Mac OS print window. Click to the right of Printer and select Adobe PDF 7/8. Next, click and hold on Copies & Pages for a drop-down list of options and select PDF Options. Click on the bar to the right of Adobe PDF Settings and a list of Distiller Settings will pop up and select the one that best fit the type of printing you are doing, e.g., Press Quality. If you want to see the PDF version afterwards, then select Acrobat for After PDF Creation. Click Ok.
(d) Returning to the Quark print window, click Print button (lower right). A Save window appears for you to name your document and select where you wish to save in on your computer. (If you choose to see the PDF afterwards, then Acobat will launch and the PDF will then appear in Acrobat.)
You could learn more about the latest version of Acrobat 8.0 (released November 2006) by Adobe’s “tour” at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/productinfo/features/
Hope this helps.

InDesign CS4 Export and PDF Printing Problem

Whenever we print PDFs created from InDesign CS4 documents that contain transparencies, drop shadows or gradients we've been having issues. White boxes will appear instead of the drop shadows and transparencies, and the colors of the gradient images will be completely different from what's in the original file. Of course, the PDF always looks perfect on the screen, and the .indd document prints correctly. The problems only occur when we print the PDFs.
We create the PDFs in InDesign using the File>Export function, and we've tried every version of PDF compatibility from 4 to 8. We're not exactly sure if this is an InDesign issue or an Acrobat issue, but we wanted to check and see if there's something specific we need to do doing during the exporting process to prevent this from happening.
Our IT department has been working on this but they're stumped, and the fine folks at Xerox insist that our printers are "fully operational."
We quickly looked through previous postings and didn't see another problem like this one listed, but we apologize if this has already been addressed and we are posting the same issue twice.
Any suggestions or insight anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks Bob! I followed the information the links you provided and it solved our problems! I won't bore you with the details of how long how many different people have been trying to solve this issue, but let's just say it's a lot.
You are being virtually hugged and/or high-fived by our entire Communications, IT and Printing Departments. THANK YOU!

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 printing problem encountered in specific applications in the workspace.

Hi,
I am experiencing this problem which i am not able to figure out.
After installing and configuring the BI publisher, for the newer applications i develop printing option works fine.
But for the applications which were already present in the workspace before installing BI Publisher, when I press the download button(which should branch to the url specified in the report query), it is directed to the specified url but the page is blank. I do not get any pdf attachment for downloading.
Could that be a problem in configuring the BI Publisher?
Thanks.

Hi Paulo ,
Following information might help you to resolve the issue.
An Acrobat PDF document generated from Web Intelligence XI Release 2 does not print correctly from some older Xerox printers. Some of the cells do not display the data that is there.
Business Objects 5.1.x uses the PDF v1.2 conversion engine. BusinessObjects XI Release 2 uses PDF v1.5. Therefore, the fonts are rendered as TrueType in the resulting PDF file. To confirm this, open the PDF in Acrobat Reader and click File > Document Properties > Font tab.
A PDF generated from BusinessObjects 5.1.x will have the font type as Type 1. A PDF generated from BusinessObjects XI Release 2 will have the font type as TrueType.
As per the product group, it states that this is by design, as there can be other regression issues for using the older PDF conversion engine and Type 1 fonts.
The printing problem has not been reported with newer printers.
Regards,
Sarbhjeet Kaur

Setting pdf printer settings use framemaker FDK

I am trying to create a framemaker client that will save a book as a pdf file. This client will do all the steps automatically and will be activated nightly on a build server.
My problem is that when I use the command F_ApiSave() with the arguments set so that the file will be correctly saved, I get an error in framemaker that says I must set the PDF printer property: "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts." to off. This option is already set to off by default, but my client must be changing it to on.
Is there any way to change this option using the Framemaker API in C on windows?

gmuresan, if you haven't yet posted on the FrameDev list, you might find more FDK information there:

Adobe XI Print problem using Google Chrome

I have recently updated to Adobe XI and downloaded a PDF print at home rail ticket. I currently use Google Chrome which I find quicker than Internet Explorer but when I download the PDF and try to print when using Chrome I get the message 'Prop Res DLL not loaded' . I decided to try printing when in Internet Explorer and the document printed without problem. So is there an incompatibility with Chrome and Adobe XI and can it be fixed? I did try Adobe Help and Repair but the same problem arose.

Chrome uses its own PDF viewer, not Adobe Reader. Download the document to your local disk, then open and print it from there.

Acrobat 8.1.6 and Word 2007 - PDF printing problem

I have a weird problem with printing a word 2007 document to the Adobe PDF printer (distiller). I hope someone can help with this.
My two-page Word document has a background color, text, text boxes and two imported images (both under 500kb). Now, the problem is two-fold:
If the 'print background color' option is disabled (unchecked), the PDF looks okay, but the background color vanishes as does text within text boxes (the text boxes themselves appear fine).
If the 'print background color' option is enabled, the PDF shows only the background color, but no text!
In either case, the PDF generation takes an unusually long time.
I tried to follow the advices given in other threads, and looked for the presence of Acrotray.exe (it was present during the process). I also tried printing the document to a file (.prn), renaming the extension to .ps, and double-clicking it to send the job to distiller - every time with the same result.
I must mention that if I use Word 2007's own 'Save to PDF' feature, it generates a clean PDF without any problem. It is only the Acrobat Distiller that is giving me endless grief. Can someone knowledgeable please help me with this issue?

I have an update. This is even weirder. It turns out that after I generate the PDF and only the background color shows up, I can use the Touch Up Object tool to select the entire page (by clicking anywhere in the colored area), and press 'delete'. If I do this, parts of the background color gets deleted, revealing the text underneath - including the background color!!!!! And doing this repeatedly, I can remove this strange 'overshadow' and find everything (image, text, text box) intact underneath. I can do the same to the text box, and eventually, the missing text appears there.
I, of course, have to do this for every single page!
In summary, it is almost as if my text and images are being covered by a sheet with the same color as the background, which I am then removing part by part - with each stroke of the delete key - much like opening a . Strangely, this happens for each page except the last page (which prints fine - with images and texts etc.)
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Update: I hadn't seen the replies from Bill and Lori when I posted this. Thank you both for replying! I do think that the problem is with transparency, given what I found out just now (written here). However, I have tried different PDF settings, standard and high quality (this is the one I normally use), and yet I have had the same issue!

Printing to PDF printer problem

Since April I have been having a problem printing internet documents to a pdf file. When I print bank transaction documents to a PDF printer the form structure prints correctly but the data that goes in the form is all jumbled up in unreadable characters. I just tried to print a Govenment census confirmation to a PDF file using the PDF Printer in Acrobat 9 and it acted like the Bank printing problem. All other printing of PDF documents works fine. I have the latest updates all installed and the problem still is there. This problem did not exist in the first half of March. Any suggestions?

Hi, I am having the same problem on multiple computers starting this spring as you reported. I just bought a new win 7 64-bit (happens on 32 bit too) and installed Adobe 9 Pro. First time I used it to print from the web on IE 9 the garbage printing happened. I've started to use other methods of creating PDFs because the Adope PDF printer is too unreliable, sometimes it works, more often it does not. The problem also occurs when printing a PDF of a word document. Fortunately, I can use Word to save in PDF format which does work.
Very Very Aggravating !!

Adobe professional 8 - adobe pdf printer problem

Running windows 7 64 bit enterprise edition and have installed adobe professional 8. When I fx. want to print a file to the "adobe pdf" printer the job newer is finished. It is just stay in the printer que, and nothing happends.
Have tried to remove the Adobe XI reader, that was installed, if it could be any conflict but did not help. I also tried with a repair of whole adobe prof. package, but still the same problem.
If I look on the adobe pdf printer and look on which port it is printing to it is standing as LPT1 ? - is that correct. There is not any other adobe pdf port available if I would like to create one.

The updates are critical when using an old version. Even older versions can be made to work in 32-bit systems, but have to have workarounds. However, folks have reported success for AA8 with both 32 and 64-bit systems, but the updates were critical.

Printing problem using HP Laser 3015 with OS 10.4.11 on MacBook

Pauses when printing a set of PDF files on my HP Laser 3015. It takes forever to print a set of documents. This is not working for my business where sometimes I have anywhere from 60 to over 100 pages to print out 2 sets! Last week I printed out the first set that took a long time and copied the second set. Printer worked fine with the old reader. I would like to have that back!! But can't find it in my application folder. Can someone tell me how to get an old reader if there is not a solution to this printing problem.
I reviewed all the settings on the print box and can't find the problem. I've read what to do in Adobe's help but it didn't tell me anything I already was doing. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? I sure would appreciate it.
Diana

I have had printing problem too many days ago.
As far as I am concerned you may try the following: -
- Verify your acrobat reader is up to date.
- Verify your printer drivers if missing any.
- Verify there shouldnt be any paper jam in the printer.
- Verify your printer is connected properly.
Verify that you have ink colors
- In the printer.

If these didnt help than it may be your printer problem, you may fix it show it to any hardware shop.
