PDF Text Print Shadow?

Whenever I try to print a pdf, I have a text shadow around all of the letters. If I blow up the pdf file there is no shadow around the text. How can I get this to not happen?

Jason - Did you ever solve your problem. Mine is the same. It's driving me crazier. I uninstalled and reinstalled my HP printer with the newest software, installed Adobe reader 8. I'm not a fancy user, but I want to be able to read the tax forms I'm printing. The numbers come out clearly, but the basic form content does not.
I'd love to know how you fixed this!

PDF Text Print Offset by 1 Character

Has Adobe ever resolved the issue of PDF documents that appear normal, but when printed, the text prints one EBCDIC character forward. The printed text also appears to retain the spacing accorded to the original letters.

I remember we used to see more reports of this, and now it's very rarely bought up in forums.
My instinct is that it's very old printer drivers, but that's just a first stab at it.
I also have a vague recollection that this could happen if Reader/Acrobat is closed before the printing has completed, perhaps because printing relies on temporary fonts.

Why Acrobat 9.5.5 Pro scrambles PDF text print, OSX.10.2?

As I'm getting ready to meet with City officials I am unable to print my material and the only option I have is to post a question on a forum, this is just wrong. If I was told to buy an update I would, happily, but I have no idea if that would fix the problem. Thanks, Adobe.

Hi,
This is not happening because of Acrobat update but the reason for this change is that Firefox 19.0 has introduced its own Javascript PDF viewer.
You can change the settings in browser to use Acrobat plugin for viewing PDF files. Go to Options->Application to chnage the settings, please see attached screenshot for more details.
Hope this solves your problem.
Thanks.

Exported pdf images print very dark

I bought a new color laser printer a Samsung clp-610nd. Samsung support has been awful. The pdf I am trying to print has image, jpgs from photoshop. I use a Macbook Pro. The pdf text prints great, the images are very dark. I can print the pdf on a deskjet and the images are accurate. I am sure this is a color issue but I dont know what I am doing wrong. Any thoughts on where to start? If I print straight from indesign, the images are also dark. I just dont know enough color profiles to figure this out.

As you've proved yourself this is a printer problem, not Indesign...
Ah, but which printer?
Without a calibrated and profiled monitor there's no way to know if the image is displaying correctly, and consequently of knowing if either printer is rendering correctly.
Make sure you aren't managing color twice. Either your application or the printer should be using color management, but not both. I prefer to let the application do it if it can.
You can play with profiles until you are blue in the face, but it will be shooting blind unless you calibrate the monitor first, and it will be even better if you get custom profiles for the printers. The odds are equally good that your inkjet prints light as that the laser prints dark. Most laser drivers also include density adjustments that allow you to print darker or lighter.

Psc 1350 prints text with shadow in Windows 7

My all in one psc 1350 prints the text with shadow since I upgraded to Windows 7, the buttons do not work, but the rest does, any suggestions about how I can correct the shadow issue?
I tried to upgrade the driver, but with no success

My guess would be this is due to a color cartridge with misdirected nozzles. Printing from PDF or a web page would print the text as a graphic which would use the color cartridge. Try the following: remove the color cartridge and print a page that previously was shadowed. Does it now print correctly? If so the issue is the color cartridge and running a cleaning cycle may help. It is also possible that the color cartridge has failed electrically, causing it to fire nozzles inappropriately. In this case a new cartridge would be required.

Text Object Error in Pdf based print forms

Hello Friends,
I am trying to include a text object in Adobe PDF-based print form.
In the context, I have created a node for the text. I chose the Text Type as Include Text. I am able to choose the required Text Object and Text ID from the respective search helps. When trying to activate the form, I am getting an error saying that I did not specify a text name. I tried to rectify this error but could not do so.
Please help me out on how to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for useful answers.
Thanks,
John.

There is no need of activation for standard text... save will do...
Also note: standard text is client dependent... you need to attach to your transport request manually to move between clients...
Close the thread once your question is answered.

PDF Form Printing Text, but no Form

I have an accountant trying to print a PDF Form. It cannot be saved, but only printed. When the form is completed and printed, it only prints out the entered text, and nothing else. All other PDF docs print fine
IT conditions:
She prints to an older Panasonic Copy machine
Her printer connection is Shared
Another PC can print the same form 100% fine and that machine goes through here PC to the printer.
Completed Troubleshooting:
First discovered she was on Reader 10.1.3 and the other PC was 10.1.1
Did a complete uninstall of 10.1.3 to include deleting from registry
Installed 10.1.1 with same issue.
Verified all a printer and reader settings are the same for both PCs
Attempted work arounds:
Installed doPDF virtual printer to try and save the completed form as PDF
PDF prints text and form text, but not the field borders for each block
Installed Nitro PDF as default PDF reader, same issue. Will not print out the field borders.
Additional Troubleshooting:
Ran full virus and malware/spyware scans with no issues.
Specific Form:
https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4722
Searched all over the internet with Google and have had no luck finding any suggestions

When you print it, the box that pops up should say, under the Comments and Forms box, "document and markups". Hope that helps.

AcroPDF in VB6 - Find text in PDF and print that page.

Okay, so I'm certain that this question has been asked and answered a hundred times, but for some reason my googling skills are seriously failing me today...
I have a legacy application built in VB6 that generates PDF documents of a particular form letter. Each PDF contains all of the form letters that were printed on that particular day. I actually have it all working rather decently, but something came up a little while ago that set me on a new programming obsession. I want to enable the following functionality from my application:
The user provides a text string that should be unique among all pages of all PDF's (customer ID).
The application then finds the PDF that contains that text string and identifies which page number contains that text string.
Finally, send only that page to the printer.
Currently I can easily create, display and print the PDF from my application. While the creation of the document is done through a third-party reporting system, all display and printing functions are basically handled using AcroPDF.dll. Going through the available properties and methods for an AcroPDF object, I see that I can tell it to print only specified pages, which gives me the last part of my requirements, and I've got the user input part down pat. I'm just totally stumped at finding a solution for "step 2".
Any suggestions, ideas or comments would be greatly appreciated. I'm kinda tired of banging my head against a wall. Thank you for your time.

If you are only using Adobe Reader, then that feature isn't available.
If you have Adobe Acrobat, then you have a few options.

Exporting a PDF for print, the PDF does not show a shadow effect

I have a drop shadow effect on an EPS object and some type that does not appear when I export the file as a PDF for print. The settings I have it set to are: Adobe PDF Preset: "High Quality Print", Interactive Elements: "Include Appearance", and Color Conversion: "No Color Conversion".
If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it!

Will,
Yes, I set my transparency blending space to CMYK. It didn't work.
I don't have a particular reason I am using an EPS over AI other than that's the type of file this object (logo) was saved as. I can get an AI. Is there any particular reason you recommend not using an EPS?

Printer MP230 series printing shadow text

Hi, I just want to ask my printer always printing shadow text especially when the text in color already checked the alignment and the nozzles, but there were OK. So, how to fix this problem?

I am having the same problem with Leopard and Pages 08 with my HP Deskjet 6127. I have not found a way around this. HP says the correct drivers come with Leopard. I have tried printing shadows under pages 3.0 and Pages 3.0.1.

Export in pdf for print inexistant border

Hello,
I try to export an Indesign CS5 file in pdf for print.
If I choose PDF1.4, X-4:2008 I have a dark rectangle like a shadow under several text. I thought it was a transparency problem but I now set up the transparency to High Quality.
If I choose PDF1.3 I don't have the shadow issue anymore but a white border around the text and images which had been rotated.
I'm not a specialist in pdf export for print so I don't know what is the best settings and how to fix my issue.
Can it be only a screen issue and be ok for the print??
Cheers,
Elodie

I apologize for not getting to this sooner.
How are you viewing the PDF that shows the discoloration? Acrobat or some other application? Is overprint preview turned on in Acrobat?
This is definitely transparency related. When you choose PDF 1.3 you are flattening the transparency and the white lines you see are called "stitching." Thay ae a dispaly artifact in Acrobat (they'll disappear if you turn off smoothing), and though they may show in a low-resolution digital print, they are usually not apparent in high-resolution output from a press.

How do I remove a green background from a pdf text document?

I posted this question yesterday and received one reply. I wanted to respond to the reply, but couldn't find a link or "button" to click on that would enable me to do that, so I'm doing it here. As I'm new to this site, please advise me where the link is, if there is one.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that PDF was proprietary, with one "owner" and that PDF was PDF, so it didn't matter what program you had on your computer because PDF was universal. Second, when I googled Nuance pdf, I was directed to this site, specifically the "Create, Edit and Export PDF's" section. Third, I also have Adobe Acrobat with pdf and a bunch ofother Adobe products on my computer. So, that brings me back to my original question, how do I get rid of a green background on a pdf text document, so I don't use up all my ink when I print it. Thanks for your patience and help.

I still use Office 2008 but have not encountered that issue. However, as Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.
