PDF's printing with multiple faint horizontal lines

When printing documents to PDF (using the standard PDF printer), and then printing the resulting pdf to hard copy, I am getting faint, thin horizontal lines, appearing in groupings of 3-6, occurring at regular intervals down the page. These are not visible on the pdf, but only appear on the hard copy. Most peculiar...any suggestions gratefully accepted !

Sounds like you are looking at a graphic, not text.

    why do I get faint horizontal lines when I print from elements 12 mac

    Hi Ben,
    I can't reproduce that behavior.  The only two things I can think of at the moment are (1) you accidentally added a shortcut as a panel shortcut instead of a diagram shortcut or (2) the name of the object you specified isn't for the "Multiply" node, but for some other node (you said "Multiplication" in your initial post) that can only be dropped in certain places (i.e. maybe it's a node that is only valid in Simulation diagrams).  Can you post the following lines from your LabVIEW INI file so I can look into it further:
    QuickDropDiagramShortcuts
    QuickDropPanelShortcuts
    Let me know,
    -D
    Edit:  Yeah, what he said.

  • Faint horizontal lines accross iMac lcd

    Had a 24" iMac that developed faint horizontal lines across the lcd that got progressively darker the longer the computer was on. Had the lcd replaced by Apple twice, but after a couple of weeks the problem returned. They gave me a new iMac, but a month in I have the same problem with the new machine. Has anyone encountered this problem? Is it an inherent issue with iMac lcds or is it something external affecting my machine? And I'm not talking poltergeist. Help, want this fixed.

    We have a 20" imac Core Duo that was purchased summer 2006 - then about 5 or 6 months ago, it started developing horizontal lines across applications (Safari, Mail, etc) and the desktop - sometimes they would go away, sometimes not... I thought is was some video driver conflicting, upgraded to snow leopard, went to the genius bar, etc... but lately it got worse to the point that it started locking up every day... this after going weeks or months without a reboot and over 3 years having almost zero crashes...
    I read in a forum where the video chip (GPU - graphics processing unit) was heat sensitive and thought that after 3+ years, maybe it was dusty in there... I installed the iStat widget to monitor the temp of the GPU and installed a fan control (software) where you can increase the minimum speed of the hard drive fan (allegedly located above the GPU). I also put the end of the vacuum on the fan vent just above where the power cord goes into the back of the monitor and let it run for a while hoping to clean things out...
    5 days later - zero display issues, zero hangs and zero crashes - and the GPU runs an average of 25 degrees cooler than before. This after a genius bar guy told me that it probably needs a new display board. Good Luck!

  • Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

    All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines.  I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result.  It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files.  HELP.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
    If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

  • Word document pdf printing with vertical and horizontal pages

    I have a Word document that has both vertical and horizontal formatted pages.  When I print to PDF, the I get a new pdf file whenever a page orientation change is found.  pages 1 to 7 are vertical, 8 to 12 are horizontal and 13 to 20 are vertical again.  If I print to a file named "out_to_PDF" I get 3 files named "out_to_PDF", "out_to_PDF2" and "out_to_PDF3", the first one with pages 1 to 7, the second one with pages 8 to 12 and the third one with the remaining pages.  Is there a way to get only one file with all the pages?
    I know I can merge the files later.  This file with 20 pages is no problem.  I have several 70+ page docs, with multiple changes between horizontal and vertical that will result in 20 or more separate pdf files.
    Any pointers?

    Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
    You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
    This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

  • Who else has faint horizontal lines in their 17" Display? Look closely!

    Description: Every other horizontal pixel row appears brighter than the alternate, creating a scan-line style effect that also contributes to the washing out of the display. In seemingly random "luck of the draw" machines, lines can either be highly visible or not be present at all.
    In displays where it is faint, you may not notice, but once you become aware of it is a real problem if you work closely with your computer, and graphics.
    This appears to be the same issue that has been widely reported in the past with Macbook Air computers.
    The three computers that I have had this issue with:
    1 - Glossy, 9C99, lines visible even from three feet away.
    2 - Glossy, 9C99, lines about half the visibility
    3 - Matte, 9CAC, lines again about half the visibility of #1
    I have also had 3 glossies and 1 matte that have not had these lines at all. 3 Unibody 15" MBPs have also not had any such lines. I have also been unable to detect these lines on any non-Apple computers I have observed, nor any of Apple's other models or displays.
    I put a 17" Matte without the lines next to one with the lines and attempting to take photos, but could not get them to turn out at all for a variety of annoying reasons (unclear image, moire effects, etc). I was however able to take extremely close macro shots and there is a difference visible in the pixel arrangements, apparently.
    Who else has this one their display?
    Thanks
    Both pictures taken in upper-right corner of screen with standard Leopard desktop picture.
    First image is display with no visible lines, second is display with visible lines.

    It exists regardless of graphics chip selection or resolution. The machines either seem to have it or they don't. It seems to be something in how they are made. What I see in the close-up photos seems to suggest a variation in the layout of the pixel diodes in the display. I really want to know how many others have this in their display. Maybe there was a small bad run of them over a few months or maybe they are a multitude with this issue.

  • PO item with Multiple Goods receipt line items

    Hi Experts,
    When we create PO for specific vendor with one PO line item then at the time of Good receipt there are multiple GR line items. How to control those multiple GR line items as one GR item.
    Appreciated your help
    Regards
    Krishna

    Hi,
    If you did GR from PO with underdelivery qty in line items, SAP recognize it as partial delivery.
    Basically, in the standard system the underdelivery qty scenario is allowed, but not for overdelivery qty.
    If you intended to force the system to allow one line item in PO with only one line item in GR, therefor you could create program checking with development team.
    please check the link for your reference.

  • Gray becomes green when a Adobe 8.1.0 PDF is printed with Acrobat 9 Pro ...?

    Hello,
    when the PDF file which was created with Adobe 8.1 is printed with Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro the gray is as it should be.
    If the same file is printed to the same printer (same settings) with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on another Workstation in the same office the gray becomes kind of green.
    I noticed the grayscale Option in the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro was set to Dot Gain 20% instead of Gray Gamma 2.2, so i changed it but the gray still gets printed as a green.
    I really would appreciate any help!

    Martha:
    Acrobat 9 installation is fraught with problems. All four writers who tried to install it at one customer location had problems getting the A'9 to work properly after installation -- and the problems were all slightly different.
    And so too were the responses given by Adobe support. In one case A'Support recommended running a cleanup tool, in one case it insisted that the program should install with the same serial number as the Tech Comm Suite that putatively includes A'9, and in another case it simply "punted" and gave the I.T. folks a new, separate serial number to circumvent the otherwise unresolvable installation problems.
    Apparently we can add sending people with A'9 problems to the FrameMaker forum to that list...
    Cheers & hope this helps,
    Riley

  • Pdf reader X has problems with small pdf and printer with post script driver

    Hi friends.
    I have installed new Reader X and then i saw that, when i print a very small pdf with about 50 kb and i print it on a Laserjet 4000 printer the printer has problem with the amount of data that reader 10 produces.
    When i install a Postscript driver for the printer my computer makes up to 3.5MB printer data from a 50kb pdf.
    When i install a PCL driver for the printer my computer makes only 350kb from the same 50kb pdf file!!!!
    When i install Reader 9.3 the 50kb file becomes also only 350kb on the printer with post script driver, and i can print without problems also.
    my printer has 8 MB Ram and that should be enough for 3.5MB printer data.
    But when i print the pdf with 1 side only, the printer created a side who is only filled with 50% of the text, then there comes out a second page with the message.....not enough memory in the printer.
    i can not change the postscript driver to a pcl driver cause our ERP System can not handle printer with PCL drivers.
    Can someone help me please.........are there settings in Reader X who can solve my problem ???
    Thank you very much for help!

  • Frozen Itouch with multi-coloured horizontal lines

    On 1st January 2012 since 3am Sydney Australia time the Itouch now shows 1 cm of pixel thin - multi-coloured horizonal lines.  Pressing the sleep and menu buttons for 30 seconds does not power the Itouch off.
    I had recently upgraded the itouch purchased 1 year ago to ios 5.01 - is it related to the upgrade?
    Is it related to the date?
    Please help....what can I do....all I can think of is to let the battery run flat...

    Thanks IIIaass I really appreciate your reply.
    When I followed your instructions.  After connecting the Ipod to its syncing computer it did not see it....and I also could not put it in recovery mode - by holding the two buttons at the same time.
    ...after about an hour of displaying the horizontal lines the battery went flat and the screen turned off and finally showed somed something different - the battery symbol.
    I then put it on the ipod dock and it now works properly.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    In summary if anyone notices:
    that the reset buttons don't work, just let the battery run flat (rather than put the ipod on its charging dock)
    ....and stop playing with the ipod when it warns you the battery is low

  • Adobe  PDF 7 printer  with Network home.

    When users have Network homes on the xserve (10.4.7) the Adobe PDF 7 printer seems to work, but it no files are generated.

  • My good story with the 15" horizontal lines

    I too received a 15" DL PowerBook with horizontal lines. I didn't record its serial number, but it did begin with W85 (one of the implicated serial batches). I took it back to the Apple Store after owning it for 4 days, spending most of that time researching what's really going on with all this. After using the pic that someone posted here in the forums (thank you!) to prove to the Genius Bar guys that there's a problem, they finally understood - even though Apple is currently "investigating the issue". They ultimately swapped out the machine for a new one.
    My new machine has a serial beginning with W85, but it doesn't have the horizontal line issue. I'm incredibly pleased, and I hope this brings some positive vibes to an otherwise bleak story of yet another Apple 1st gen hardware issue.
    17 iMac G5 1.8 Ghz, 15" DL PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz.   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Wow! This is great news. I really had lost hope here, there were too many reports of people just getting bad displays back time after time.
    Only problem for me is that I have had the machine for well over a month, and it is BTO with 7200rpm drive...
    I'd like to be able to take it to the store, open one up and test before I swap.
    Although... I did alert Applecare of the problem a few weeks ago and told them to record my complaint and to contact me if they learn of a fix. I hope this will help. Thing is that it is getting to close to christmas now, and I'll be travelling around with the laptop.... hmmm.
    Hey - you know what? I just noticed that my machine also makes these squeaky beeps when I type! What the ****? It only occurs when I am in the middle of this message composition pane - not on the lowest line, and not in the Subject line, and not in Word.
    It is really high-pitched and annoying - arrrgh!
    I heard someone else talk about this, and I had no idea what they meant. (sorry for this being off topic - but does anyone else hear this? - specific to the Apple Forum message compostion pane.)
    It does not come through the speaker/headphone output.

  • Connecting MG3570 printer with multiple MAC books

    I connected MG3570 printer with my Mac book wirelessly. Everything fine till my son also connect the printer with his Mac book.

    You might want to look at this article on troubleshooting Mag Safe adaptors:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    Check for things like stuck pins.
    Also, be sure that you are not mixing up the MacBook charger (65 watts) with the MacBook Pro charger (85 watts). The MBP charger should be able to charge the MB, but not the other way around.
    If the charger is good and the battery and its connections are good, then it is possible that the Left I/O Board (which contains the power port) is bad.
    For the battery to charge, three things have to be working--the charger, the battery, and the Left I/O Board. If you have access to an Apple Store, the genius bar should be able to try a known good battery and a known good power adaptor and be able to pinpoint what is really at fault.
    Good luck!

    With the old iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, are you able to copy them over via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can sync them over ? If they are appearing in the Purchased Books collection in iBooks on the new iPad then you should also be able to re-download them directly on it by tapping on them, or via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks apps

  • Smartforn printing with Multiple line items

    Hi Guys,
                 I am new to Smartforms and my requirement should sound simple to the experts.
    I have 2 Page formats for my form. The second Page should only trigger once all the line items are printed on the first page. I created a main window in the first page but the window is quite small because of the presence of other windows. So if I give the next page of Page 1 as Page 1 itself, the other pages show only 4 line items ( because the main window was quite small ) and 70 % of the page is blank. I want that when the main window data flows to next page it should be displayed in a bigger main window.
        Secondly, using Page 1 as the next page of Page1, Page 2 never gets triggered.
    Could you please guide how to acheive these 2 things and provide some sample code ?
    Thanks
    Abhi

    Hi ,
        I managed to create a new page with bigger Main Window size and it seems to work. Thanks for that but another question is that I need to jump to Page2 ( Second Page Format ) once my list is displayed completely. I have used command node for that and it works. Issue is that I have a secondary window below main window which needs to be displayed at the end of the list.. This list is not appearing If I give ' Olny after End of Main Window' and it appears at both the pages if i dont give that option. But I want it to appear only at the end of the list and not at all the pages where the lust is present. What shall be done ?
    Thanks
    Abhi
