PDF to Jepg via print dialogue: Automator

I'm trying to determine if this is an Ap3 thing or a Snow Leopard thing.
Background: I just updated to SL and Ap3 for testing on my MBP before going for a full upgrade on all my studio computers. Within Ap2 and using 10.5.8, I could design a book, and from the print dialogue I could save to Jepg's from a PDF. The PDF workflows are part of the OS as I understand it, and Aperture allows users to take advantage of it.
Following rwboyer's useful advise, I was able to modify, in Automator, the PDF to Jepg workflow to produce images with the resolution of my choice as well as preferred color space. This worked like a dream!
Unfortunately, having since upgraded to 10.6.2 and to Ap3, I cannot get the workflow to honor my preferred resolution, though it will honor what ever color space I request. No matter what I do to rewrite the workflow in Automator, all images (book pages) are 72ppi.
Does anyone have any thoughts of a direction to explore to figure this out?
Thanks in advance,
CD

Yes, you are right, that would be easy. And I've done that which works, but you see, if I wanted to do an extra step, no matter how easy, I would simply rather do the designing in InDesign where I do a lot of complex layout work already. For the quick work Ap makes of doing very simple book layouts, it makes sense to use Aperture's book tool.
My question pertains to the fact that it worked in Ap2/10.5.8 and does not in Ap3/10.6.2. I'm looking to get Automator in SL to honor my requests without having to do a work around. At this point, I'm leaning on this being more of an OS issue and having really nothing to do with Ap3 at all.
Random thought:
I'm remembering back in Ap2 there was an issue where exporting to a desired resolution wasn't being honored - many people (myself included) were talking about how there images were 72dpi when they intended, with the export preset, the output be 300dpi. I can't remember how that was fixed but I could swear it was an OS update that fixed it. I could be wrong though.
Once again, if anyone has recommendations on how to tweek the PDF to Jepg Automator workflow in the print dialogue to get the desired ppi output, I'm interested.
Thanks in advance,
CD

  • How do I save an 11x17 spread pdf with bleeds via print booklet (paginated) so I can send to FedEx to print?

    I used to be able to Print Booklet and change the print setting to Save as postscript and Distill it but when I do that now the pages get cropped so they are no longer 12x18.

    On the other hand ... the next time you do this, you might want to check out one of the imposition plug-ins for InDesign. I work for Sterling Computing, the maker of IDImposer, so that would be my choice, of course! 
    Comparing the two alternatives:
    The PostScript-Distiller approach:
    "I added a new Document Preset for oversize (File >Print Presets >Define...  make a new one this size:17.5833  11.5833)
    Make sure your bleeds are already set (.125)
    File > Print Booklet
    Select the Print Preset you just made
    click Print Settings...
    Select the Print Preset you just made (yes, again)
    Printer: PostScript File
    PPD: Adobe PDF 9.0
    OK
    Print
    Save the .ps file
    Open it with Distiller or Adobe Acrobat Pro
    Output to PDF"
    Elapsed time: anywhere from 5 minutes to days or even weeks
    Chance of errors: moderate
    Ease of use: poor
    Quality: flattened transparency, loss of managed color
    Vintage: late 1980's
    vs
    The IDImposer approach:
    Verify that your Bleeds are set the way you want them, in File > Document Setup... > More Options
    Window > Extensions > IDImposer
    In IDImposer:
      Set the imposition type (Saddle Stitch, probably) and desired Sheet size (18 x 12) in the IDImposer dialog
      Click the "Impose" button, and watch the screen flash for a minute or so
    Optional: Inspect the results in InDesign. Maybe do a quick proof print.
    Export to PDF (from InDesign): File > Export... > Adobe PDF (print)
    Elapsed time: typically under 2 minutes, for a 16 page booklet
    Quality: excellent

  • Why can I not print multiple files to one sheet and create a PDF of that format via Print dialogue on Mac? Very important part of workflow!!!!

    Try this if you use mac.
    Create a multiple page PDF. Three pages.
    Go to print.  - Multiple pages per sheet so that you see all three pages on your sheet to be printed.
    At this point, on a windows machine, you can print this as a PDF.  On Mac, it only lets you save as PDF (Not with the format selected).
    WHY has this functionality been removed from the Mac version of Acrobat XI??? Adobe?

    Jon,
    Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
    However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
    However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
    What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
    There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
    Hopefully this can assist you.

  • Creating Save As .pdf workflows to be used in the Print dialogue box

    Hi all,
    I am new to Automator, and am trying to work out how to set up workflows to print/save documents, especially emails, as .pdf in a range of different folders.
    For example, I am using Thunderbird for email and when I got to the Print dialogue box, I get the PDF drop-down menu at the bottom left. When I bring up this menu, one of the options is 'Save PDF to Web Receipts folder'.
    However, I would like to add a few more folders to speed up the process of saving emails to different places. I have tried the Edit option, and tried in Automator but cannot set up a similar workflow to create more 'Save PDF to...' options.
    Can anyone give me some tips on how to do this.
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    Hi Dan!
    In Automator help we read:
    Print Workflow plug-in
    These workflows perform actions on files that have been saved as PDFs. They can be chosen from the PDF pop-up in the Print dialog. The file is first saved as a PDF formatted file, then the path to the PDF is passed to the first action of the workflow.
    So this means your workflow could consist of just one action: Move Finder Items. I set this up with the To: field set to my desktop, and then selected Save As Plug-in from the File menu, gave it a name, and selected Print Workflow from the drop-down box. That's it! When I went to go print something, the workflow showed up in the menu automatically. (:

  • How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

    How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
    This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
    Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
    (and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
    or using
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
    same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
    When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
    So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
    P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
    So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
    Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

    Thanks jscher2000.
    RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
    I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
    I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
    The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
    I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
    I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
    When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
    Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
    Some folks might say,
    go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
    go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
    save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
    who needs PDFs, everything is online.
    Or, buy some Adobe product.
    I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
    C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

  • MacOSX (10.9): Print dialogue box does not appear when printing PDF's

    Hi there,
    I've been having some troubles with the latest version of Adobe Reader on an intel-based MacBook Pro running MacOSX 10.9 (Mavericks).
    Environment Details:
    Device type: MacBook Pro
    OSX: 10.9 (Mavericks)
    Adobe Reader version: 11.0.06
    Details:
    After installing Reader 11.0.06, the print dialogue box does not appear through the print button or through File -> Print... . As a result, I simply cannot print PDF documents when using Adobe Reader.
    - Only 1 MacBook Pro affected
    - The print dialogue box does appear for other application (i.e. Preview, Word, Excel, etc., etc.)
    - Multiple restarts performed
    - Attempted to download older versions with no success
    - Attempted multiple uninstall/reinstalls
    - Reset the CUPS printing system multiple times
    - Validated that the account accessing/using Reader has full administrative privileges to the Adobe Reader application
    - Occurs for multiple PDF's from various sources
      -> Online source
      -> Converted from Word
    Additionally (I'm unsure if this is related or not), but after trying to perform an update, I receive the following error:
    An unimplemented or obsolete function was called
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Hi there,
    Just bumping this thread for more visibility.
    If anyone has any thoughts, I'd more than appreciate your advice!
    Cheers!

  • PDF is not one of the options under in the print dialogue

    When I try to print the document (save) as a pdf it is not one of the available options under print dialogue. I have my printer, fax, and something called Microsoft XPS document writer. I can't find any instructions on how to load it. It is an available option on all my other programs.

    You would find that option under File menu > Save As... > Photoshop PDF
    Since Photoshop has its' own PDF format, Microsoft's PDF (and Apple's too) option is not there in the Print dialog unlike your other programs.
    So there is nothing wrong with your print setup, it's just the way it's done in Photoshop.

  • Standard/Advanced print dialogue for PDFs?

    When you print an image such as a jpeg in Mac OS X 10.4 you get the option of standard or advanced print dialogues. One feature of the Apple's new standard option allows for rotating an image on the print area. This is great because it potentially allows us to print A2 on our large format printer without having to then trim it manually. Except that most of our printing is done from PDFs which don't appear to be able to take advantage of this standard print dialogue.
    Question is, does anyone know of a way to invoke the standard print dialogue for PDFs?

  • BOOK COVER CROPS TOP IN PRINT DIALOGUE PDF

    I have been producing books for a long time but now the cover of a book which is displayed correctly in iPhoto 09, when trying to print a pdf the cover cuts 1-2 inches off the top and adds black at the bottom. Apple are at a loss to explain it. All other pages convert to pdf correctly. This has suddenly happened, all but one previous books display pdf perfectly. Checking the pdf in book assembly there are no problems but in the print dialogue it cuts the top off. Have tried everything & this has been referred to a higher level at Apple as Genius bar could not fix it. Any ideas?

    I have also made several books with iPhoto and had never had a problem, but I had also never used a full bleed picture on the cover. But I had this problem yesterday.
    I talked to Apple tech support and he was actually able to duplicate the problem. He did not have a solution, but told me that there is a way to contact Apple as soon as your receipt is emailed to you and have them hold the order and actually look at the files to see that nothing has moved and that heads are not cut off. But today I conquered it for my book!
    Look at the pages in iphoto, note when looking at the second page which would be the inside cover, you will see a wrap. Heads were being cut off because of the wrap for the cover. You will need to use Photoshop to add space to the top of the photo. I added 2 inches at first, but then adjusted it to about 2.25-2.5 inches. My problem was the edge of a tree, so I eliminated it allowing for the top to be more sky. Previewed my page in print/pdf mode and voila! Fixed!
    Apple tech support was great - I love the call back feature. When I upload my book, I will probably still ask them to check it, but I believe I've solved the problem for my cover!
    To contact support about your book before it prints - and you need to do it right away as soon as you receive the receipt from apple go to: http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/
    then under Customer Support - the paragraph reads:
    +If you need personal assistance, click on a topic below, then email our support team using the form at the bottom of each customer support page.+
    Note the word email is blue, click on it and ask them to review your book before it is printed!

  • Creating a PDF via printing in Mac O.S.

    Hello,
    I am new to Mac so pardon my ignorance here.
    I am using Adobe XI Professional on a Mac and would like to print an Adobe document I have filled-in/ created as a PDF file; specifically, a portion of the file.  For instance, in Windows, I would select Print, select the Adobe Acrobat PDF printer then print the desired selection of pages within the document and my PDF would be created.  Of course, I may "Save As..." a PDF file and the entire file will be saved as I created or modified it.
    How does one save a portion of the PDF that you are working on: i.e. if the entire form is 100 pages and I only with to print (save) pages 3-10, how does one do that?
    In my research, newer versions of Adobe for Mac do not offer a PDF printer as one is not installed on my Mac.  Moreover, no printer is currently installed on my system.  I wish to safe a portion of the PDF I am editing as a PDF, so I may print it at a later time.

    Printing to PDF was never a good way to make a PDF from a collection of pages from a PDF. Use the EXTRACT PAGES function.

  • "Save to Adobe PDF" missing in Mac print dialog

    I've just upgraded to a new machine, and the "Save to Adobe PDF" option is missing from the PDF drop-down menu in the print dialogue.  I'm running Mac OS 10.8.3 and CS 6.  I believe that Acrobat X is supposed to automatically install this option into the main print dialog; what can I do to get it installed if it got left out of the initial CS6 installaion?

    OK thank you.  I feel like I'm still not quite getting my question across.  I don't think that PDF Maker is what I was using last week before I got a new machine; wasn't that the thing that showed up in the upper portion of the Print dialog, in amongst your physical printers?  That is not what I was using.  I was using the Save to Adobe PDF.app (an Automator app) that stays in the PDF Services folder in the Library.  You access it via the PDF button in the bottom left of the Print dialog.  This was using Acrobat 9 and OS 10.6.
    Your description above makes it sound like when I go to that button I would get a contextual menu that lets me choose the quality of the PDF.  I don't have that choice.  This is the contextual menu I get under PDF in the Print dialog:
    I used to have an additional entry there in the middle section called Save to Adobe PDF.  That brought up a dialog with a drop down menu that showed all of the preset settings I have made for PDF creation, and I could choose my quality there, choose a location, and save.  I had full control over all the settings.  I just need a choice that brings up that dialog, and Save as PDF doesn't do it (it just uses the native OS PDF generator).
    The second method does not work on my machine either.  If I try to drag a Word doc into Acrobat it tells me it is not a supported file type, and says "To create an Adobe PDF document, go to the source application. Then print the document to Adobe PDF."  this indicates to me that somewhere I should still have the ability to choose Adobe PDF rather than Mac OS PDF. 
    I can save to PostScript and drop the file onto Distiller -- as long as the Distiller settings are set correctly already, because it starts creating the PDF immediately with no dialog in between to make choices.  I can live with that, but I would rather have my Automator workflow back to do it in one step.  (sadly I don't know enough about Automator right now to easily do this myself, but maybe this is a good chance to learn.) 
    I know that I have seen this workflow mentioned as something that is installed along with Acrobat X but maybe people are mistaken about that and it was just left over from a previous install.  I know for sure that the workflow that was working on the old machines was outdated; it was 32-bit and can't even be opened in the current version of Automator.  So the old one clearly won't work any more.  For now I'm going to set up a Distill folder on my desktop with the settings I use most often, and direct my PS files there.
    Thanks for the detailed reply even though I can't quite make it all work!

  • Specifying a tray in printer dialogue???

    I have a HP photosmart printer (with 8x11 tray and 4x6 photo tray). In iPhoto6, you can specify the tray in the print sequence.
    In iPhoto7, the print dialogue is different (and I don't see a page setup anymore). There doesn't seem to be a way to specify using the 4x6 photo tray, and it always prints to the 8x11 by default.
    I am missing something?

    Have you applied the latest printer driver supplied by Apple for HP printers. It came out yesterday - HP Printer Driver 1.1 . If you can't get it running with Larry's suggestions the update might help.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Disable Printing Dialogue in Adobe Reader

    I'm looking for a way to totally block/hide the printing dialogue in Adobe Reader 7.0.
    As far as I know the only way to do this is to drop a script in the JavaScript folder to manipulate the whole application (catching the application initialization event). Is this right?
    I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    Can anyone provide some hints how to realise that?

    > I can't create my own dialogs and printing methods via an embedded script because I'm dealing only with the Reader.
    You can still develop plug-ins for Reader that will override the standard print dialog and replace it with your own. There is a document called "Developing for Adobe Reader" that comes with the SDK. Find it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/reader_overview.pdf
    With JavaScript, you cannot prevent the print dialog from coming up if the user click on File > Print or the Print button.
    You can, from a folder-level script, create your own silent print function, but you cannot replace the existing print functions with it from JavaScript. This can only be done from a plug-in. You could create another button or menu item that calls your silent print function, but the original interactive methods would still be there for the user to use if they wanted.

  • Macbook no print dialogue box

    Hi.  Just started new gig and installed the office printer driver (Brother MFC-9970CDW) supposedly compatible with my OS 10.4.11, which seemed to go fine.  But now when I try and print a document -- any document -- the print dialogue box simply doesn't appear. I receive no other notifications. Just nothing happens.  Period.  Can someone suggest what I might have done wrong?  I'm trying to connect to the printer via the in-house wireless network.  Thank you very much.
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook
      Model Identifier:          MacBook2,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:          2 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      L2 Cache (per processor):          4 MB
      Memory:          1 GB
      Bus Speed:          667 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          MB21.00A5.B07
      SMC Version:          1.13f3

    In your original post, you said, "...It started in the middle of filling out pdf forms on my iMac in Adobe Acrobat. I completed 4 tried the 5th and had the print dialogue box appear as described."
    Which version of Adobe Acrobat, i.e., v.4, 5, 6, or 7? And is it Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat Reader.
    Anyway, I suggest checking your hard disk using Install Disk 1 of the Panther set.
    (a) Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart your computer holding down the C key. Continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
    (b) After the Installer window appears on the desktop, click on the menu "Installer" and select "Disk Utility".
    (c) When Disk Utility opens: on the left pane, select your hard disk and then on the right, click the First Aid tab followed by clicking the button "Repair Disk" (lower right).
    If it reports any errors/repairs, re-run Repair Disk until it report no errors.
    (d) Click on Repair Disk Permissions. Then quit Disk Utility.
    (e) Restart computer.
    (f) Launch Disk Utility (the one on your hard disk) and Repair Disk Permissions again.
    Post back to let us know what happens.

  • Print Dialogue does not show print quality options on MacBook

    I am trying to print wirelessly from my Macbook Pro to a HP 5500 connected to G5. I can print no problems, but I can't control the print quality as this option does not appear in the print dialogue box.
    When I print the same page from my G4 powerbook I get print quality options in the dialogue. Both laptops are running 10.4.8 and connecting wirelessly by an airport network. The printer is plugged in the G5 not an airport express.

    Hi there,
    As Scapesuiter has mentioned, it would be best to check the HP web site to see if there is a Universal driver for your printer. These are drivers that have been written to work on the new Intel Mac's and on the previous Power PC (PPC) Mac's.
    If there isn't a Universal driver, you can still use the older PPC driver, however you will experience problems like you are getting when printing from a Universal application via a PPC driver. Usually you see a line through the option that is not available, but I guess another symptom could be that the option is not viewable. Anyway, for some Universal applications, you can choose to open them using the Rosetta emulator. With the application closed, select its icon in the Finder and do a Get Info (Cmd - I). In the window that appears there may be the option "Open using Rosetta". If there is, select this option, close the window and open the application. Now try to print and see if the option is present.
