PDF with Printer Trays

Hello All,
I have a requirement to create a PDF report and while printing, need to print on different stationary based on say a flag. My qn is ..Is it possible to store printer escape/control characters in PDF ?.
SRW.SET_PRINTER_TRAY - If I use this built in and have destype = PDF, Will it work ?
Antony.

Thanks Steve but I guess I did not clarify that I am indeed trying to print from an IMac with Yosemite and not an I pad or iPhone. My connection is direct USB to Epson printer. I am able to print a word document or a spreadsheet on either tray on any size paper. I also contacted Epson and they felt it was definitely an Adobe problem. I tend to agree because I also have an HP printer with dual trays and have the same issue. Adobe is latest version 11.0.10

Illustrator CC 2014- Unknown error when saving as PDF with Printer's Marks

I've been getting an error message (bellow) when I save a ANY of my AI file as PDF with Printer Marls (Trim Marks etc).
All fail attempts were files with: No transparencies - No effects - Simple Type (tried outlined and live) - Simple shapes.
I tried:
- Trash the Adobe Illustrator Settings folder
- Reboot the application
- Reboot computer
- Rebuild file
- Replace fonts
Please help. I'm a print designer and that's vital for my line of work.

Without system information and details like what PDF preset you use nobody can even begin to guess.

Create PDF with printing restrictions

I am looking for a product that can create PDFs on a server from a VB.NET website application. It must be able to build some logic into the PDF to restrict
the printing capabillity to only allow a certain number of copies to be printed. Subsequent copies may be printed but must show different text and be watermaked as "copies". Is this possible with any of the Adobe products or any 3rd party products? We currently use abcPDF for .NET which allows us to create the PDFs from the application but it won't allow the restrictive printing as far as I can see.

You could certainly use Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management Server to secure the PDFs that you produce with restrictions on printing, viewing, etc.

3D PDF with printed image shrinked

Hi, recently I am testing the usage of 3D PDF for a project. Let me take a example: http://www.pdflib.com/fileadmin/pdflib/Cookbook/pdf/javascript_for_3d_animation.pdf
It is a pdf file with 3D image on the right of the page. I first stop the animation and then zoom the 3D model until it touches the boundary of the 3D window. Like this: http://postimg.org/image/s3wd4g72b/
Next, I tried to print it. At the preview, it looks okay. However, the printout of the image in the 3D window is somehow. Like this: http://postimg.org/image/pizz84tst/
May I know the reason and what should I do so that the size of the 3D model printout will be the same as that shown on the screen? Thanks very much.

I am experiencing the same problem too. However, I am not sure about whether the source of problem comes come whether the model is the volumetric shape or not. Because in my example, I always use closed meshes to export in .u3d format as a component to generate the pdf file. Here is the example for illustration:
https://hotfile.com/dl/255656780/62855a4/Template.pdf.html
On the screen, I move the spheres in such a way that the red and green spheres are partially shown: http://postimg.org/image/mb8erlkfn/
But just like situation mentioned by the user "My Screen Name", the printout shows the visible parts of the red and green spheres completely:http://postimg.org/image/c4liqfy6p/
Is there anything we can do to ask acrobat to print exactly the size we adjusted on the screen? Thanks.

Help with printing hard copy from Acrobat PDF

Copy created in InDesign and printed to Adobe PDF is OK on screen but printing hard copy with random chunks of text missing. Same on both my printers, doesn't happen with doPDF. Any ideas? Thanks

I suspect that what you are asking is simply to print to a new PDF with print as image selected. You can also save as an image file and then open the images as a new PDF.

Can't print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Vista

I am unable to print to pdf with Acrobat 7.1.0 in Windows Vista. I used to be able to, now all of a sudden that functionality is gone. I haven't knowingly done any upgrades since the last time I successfully printed to pdf, but I do have autoupdates enabled, so I can't say what Microsoft may have been up to recently. When printing to pdf from Internet Explorer 7, the window simply closes. A printer icon shows up in the system tray but registers 0 print jobs and soon disappears. When printing to pdf from Word (2003), Word crashes with a series of message boxes saying something about attempting recovery. Any suggestions?

AcroTray is running. Thanks for asking that question, as this is one thing that I have disabled on computers running XP, since disabling it in XP doesn't adversely affect my limited use of Acrobat in any way. I have not disabled it with Vista. I tried printing to file, and that also caused the window to close. I happened to have a second IE7 window open when attempting to print to file, and it did not close, so it only affects the active window. I don't know if that helps at all; when a program crashes, I typically observe it take with it all open windows associated with that program, so the fact that this is only closing the active window seems potentially useful to me in my ignorance of what is the root cause.

Cannot print to pdf with Acrobat 8

I have just gotten a new laptop and moved my CS2 over to it. Everything works fine except I cannot print to a pdf like I used to. I can save as a pdf, but when I print to Adobe pdf, the printer icon pops up in the system tray. When I click on it, the window displays the print job with status: Error-sent to printer. It's the same thing when I try to print a web page or a Word document to a pdf.
By the way, this version of CS2 came with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 and Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 on seperate disks from the CS2 installation disks. Thanks in advance for the help.

And by the way, I did look at my startup folder. The following items are checked:
Adobe Acrobat Speed Launcher
Adobe Acrobat Sychronizer
Adobe Systems, Inc. Gamma Loader
AcroTray - Adobe Acrobat Distiller helper application

What is the issue? When printing a 30x42 drawing PDF with 5 pages. The first drawing prints properly, but none of th eothers do. IF I print each separately, by selecting "current page" they print fine. Oh this is for Acrobat XI Standard.

RE Acrobat XI Standard. When printing a 30x42 Drawing PDF with more than 1 page only the first page prints properly the rest are not the proper size or centered. Did I miss a setting? For now I can work around it by printing each page using the "Current Page" setting, but this delays me when there is more than 20 pages etc..

Blue screen while printing to PDF with Adobe

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to produce PDF files. A few days ago, all of the sudden, each time I try to create a PDF with the virtual printer, I get a "Blue Screen Of Death" reporting some problem on the win32k.sys file.
I'm using Windows Vista Professional 32 bits and Adobe Acrobat 9.
Best regards.

Which version of AA9. There have been 7 updates or so. You might try a repair and then do any uninstalled updates (in order, they are not cummulative). The repair may resolve the issue or you may have run into some other bug that the updates might fix.

Problem printing PDF with Acrobat Pro 9.4.4

Hi!
I can't correctly print a PDF with Acrobat Pro that was created in Indesign CS5.
I want to print it on a letter format (8,5 X 11") and it offers me a format of 8,49 X 10,99". It results in having my document being printed as tile with it's original format 12 X 21,5" as if I didn't adjust the format to be reduced.
I temporary used Preview to print my PDF, but now I can't as the encoding in which I received the PDF used to be "Creo Normalizer JTP" and now it is "Adobe PDF Library 9.9"
If anyone can help!
This is my first time here, thanks in advance for your help

Here's what it looks like (I work in french, hope you can understand)
I just updated my software, thanks for that!
Now, my problem is still on... I still have the very same result when I print. I did selected the correct Page Scalling I needed. I did selected the paper size I wanted. I chose Shrink to Printable Area and I tried with Fit to Printable Area.
Since I've had this problem the size appears as : 8,49 X 10,99 (Instead of 8,5 X 11). I tried with Legal (8,5 X 14) but it appears as 8,49 X 13,99. I went through the preferences, but I can't find anything that could be the problem.
Any other idea?
Thanks!!
Also, Preview was very helpful, as it did print my PDF correctly! I understand it's not the best... but it did the job

Problem with printing a PDF

Hi All,
I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
I have a problem with printing a PDF:
I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
Can anyone help me?
I wish a great day to You all.

Hi Ted Ueda,
sorry for the delay of my answer.
I understand very well the problems related to security.
With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
from RTF previously realized?
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
String report = report path;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Object reportSource = null;
reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
//The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
//ConnectioInfos
ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
//Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
//ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
//Set the export format (PDF)
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
try {
      exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
} catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }
As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
"In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
where
/p = print
/h = hide window
to print the report and
2)     tkill AcroRd32
to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command /h is used just to minimize the process.
I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you

2° problem: when print pdf is created, the plotter can t load it to print, it stops at 40% loading.

i don t like to use illustrator too, im using 3 programs already to create this poster. do u think .ai are easier than eps???
i ve tryed to save new pdf without layers, but it didn t work. then i ve tryed to change pdf with eps on indesign, and now the print pdf saving is really faster. im gonna try to plot it and then i ll tell u what s changed.
OH most important, i was drag n dropping pdf into indesign, and i read it s really wrong! so now i import vector eps to indesign ...

i tryied to install version X but it's the same, the problem exist only when printing via adobe reader,

No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

Print PDF with special print options of Canon IR printer

Hi,
We have a collection (db driven) of PDF documents that we want to send to our network printers. Some document need a hole punch of some other specific printeroptions of a Canon IR printer.
The ideal solutions is a windows application where i could define virtual printers with their print options (pdf and printer specific).
Eg:
A user creates in a the windows app a virtual printer with name and print options
- FastPunch: Printer IR5570 with hole punch
- Fast: Printer IR5570
- Color: IR C4080
- ColorBooklet: IR C4080 with booklet options
When the app starts its batch it will look at de db and find rows with an PDF and the name of a virtual printer. The documents are printed with specific printer preferences.
Does someone has experience with such an solution? Tips?
Someone wants to make this in vb.net (or c#)? What cost?
gtx, Pierre

I have downloaded the Acrobat SDK but I haven't really waded through the documentation or samples yet. I've only been working on this project for about 3 days now and not full time. This isn't the highest priority at work. I've worked a bit with the adobe reader control and that looks like it has some promise.
I have two significant problems:
1) I don't want the user to see any windows appear other than my console application. That way I have it working right now, Acrobat is required and appears minimized while the file is spooled and then is closed after spooling completes. Not so horrible but I'd like to get away from it if possible. To print the file right now I'm using the startprocess module or something (new version of shell I think). I'm starting the pdf with the verb "Printto" and that tells Acrobat to print to a printer that I specify.
2)Biggest problem. I have no reliable way to change the number of copies or any other print settings. I am not willing to write a program that spools a single copy multiple times just to get multiple copies. Currently my program uses rundll to open a printer preferences dialog, and SendKeys to modify the print settings. This means that the computer cannot be used while automated printing is occurring.
Right now the program's only saving grace is that it allows the user to be ignorant of the job settings so that all the user has to do is indicate an item number and quantity and walk away (hoping nothing changes the focus and derails SendKeys - but we know that kind of thing never happens in XP :P )

How to make images searchable (OCR) when printing from Word 2007 to PDF with Acrobat 10

Good Day, I have checked several forums and the help file, but I can't seem to get a straight answer on this issue.
Our office creates many documents in Microsoft Word 2007 that contain both typed text AND images. For example, I have a document with a summary section and then a .jpg of an event from Facebook. We usually Print the document using Adobe PDF and the resulting PDF is searchable with the Find tool. The problem is that the images contain text and we want that to be searchable as well. I found posts saying to take the PDF and Print it again as an image and then run the Recognize Text tool. I have tried this and it does indeed work, although the resulting PDF is grainy looking (even at 600 dpi).
What I would like to know is if there is a way to get the images to be searchable during the conversion from Word to PDF. I could educate my co-workers on how to do this and save the trouble of having to touch each document more than once. Also, I do not like the graininess of the image nor the extra steps involved to convert each document. It will require a lot more hands on maintenance than I have time for.
Any assistance or clues you can provide on this topic would be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Paula C.

Thanks so much for your reply.
