PDFs display and print fine in Acrobat but not in Preview of PDFPenPro

I have a curious problem in that check boxes in certain PDF files (insurance applications) appear as a "p" instead of a check box when I view the file in Preview or PDFPenPro. The check boxes appear and print properly when I open the PDF in Acrobat.
I've checked the fonts with the Apple Font utility and there seems to be no issues with any of the fonts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Strangely I'm now having exactly the same problem all of a sudden. I've been building the book for about a month now (I've made about 6 before without any trouble) and along the way have been producing a pdf of the book to see how it will look. Yesterday I noticed some of the images seemed to have lost colour when looking at the pdf version and then today, many pictures all of a sudden look exactly like the example you've supplied above.
I've tried shutting down my imac and restarting thinking it was a memory issue, have checked if I had any filters activated (which I don't and I haven't used filters in books before either), have tried repairing then rebuilding aperture, copying the book to a new library, new location, opening on a different mac and then printing again but none of this had any positive effect.
So from what I understand from your last post, the workaround you came up with was to revert to the original of each image that had the problem and then make the adjustments again?

My printer receives and prints my e mail but not the attachments. How do I rectify this?

Hi robgpearce,
Your issue could be related to the file type or a setting with the file. In the help section of ePrintCenter.com, it goes into details on how the HP ePrint service does not support printing webpages via email at this time, HP is currently developing dedicated solutions to support webpage printing from mobile devices. Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc) need to be at least 100DPI in order to print via ePrint. PGP encryption, digitally signed documents, macro-enabled spreadsheets and password-protected documents are not supported by ePrint at this time and will not print.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Right clicking PDF files and printing those with Acrobat Reader X

We have a Windows XP computer with Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional and Acorbat Reader X.
Now when we open PDF files they open with Acrobat Reader X wich is fine.
But when we try selecting PDF files and right click Print them they print with Acrobat 7 Professional.
The problem is with Adobe Acrobat Professional 7 it doesn't print all the files we selected.
We select 50 files and only about 10 are printed and those are always random.
So is there anyway to enable the print option to print with Acrobat Reader X ?

This is not a desirable situation. Adobe recommends against having Reader and Acrobat on the same machine, unless they're both version X, exactly because it can cause this kind of conflicts.

Some PDF's will print in 7 Pro but not 8 Pro?

Certain PDF's will print in 7 but not in 8? Is it connected to 10.5.5 or 10.5.6? or maybe CS4?
Has anyone else had this problem?

If it has to do with 8 on X.5.6 and 7 work fine. It more like a Problem with 8.
7 is older. and would be the most likely to break.
try the Following:
Download the lastes driver for your Printer.
Next go to Printer Utility and delete your Current printer. Then quit Printer Utility
Next install the Driver.
Now go back to Printer Utility and choose add Printer. Your newly installed driver should show up.
Now choose that as default Printer.
Now open First Acrobat 8 and go to Page setup. Choose the new print Driver and and click on top button to save as default printer for Acrobat.
Now print something. If Works You've cured problem.
Close Acrobat 8.
Repeat with Acrobat 7. Youshould be all set.
Now while at it. Do the following for PDF Printer:
Now Repeat instructions just below Try the following: except this time Delete the Adobe PDFPrinter.
Now open Acrobat 8 First and go to help and choose repair and reinstall.
Have Acrobat install version of PDFPrinter for Version 8 only.
Now you should be able to create PDF's That either application can use only 7 won't use any new features in 8.
Try and get back with us.

PDF images that magnify when clicked? (but not in Preview)

I'm viewing a 3-page PDF document received from elsewhere, using Acrobat 7.0 Standard on a MacBook running OS 10.4.11. The document contains 4 figures. When I run the pointer (the "hand") over 2 of these images, a short horizontal bar with a short arrow pointing downward from it appears inside the hand. Clicking once significantly magnifies the size of the image, up to full screen or full window width. What happens with further clicks is a bit confusing, but there is no further magnification, and eventually a demagnification back to the initial size.
Nothing like this happens with the other two figures, and nothing like this happens if I view the document in Mac Preview. Only limited information on how this PDF document was created is available, except that maybe PowerPoint was involved at some stage.
Any ideas as to what's going on here?
Thanks for any info.

Hi A.E. --
If you're looking for a better response than you've gotten so far, I'd suggest the Mac Acrobat forums at http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ee6b2ed/
There's a chance that someone here may know, but since it's clearly an Acrobat "feature" (given that it doesn't occur in Preview), someone will DEFINITELY know the answer over there.
Best of luck!

Forms in Acrobat but not in Preview?

Hey everyone
Im working on building my first interactive form (with checkboxes) in Acrobat Pro 9.. I added a submit button (by making it an interactive field with the command mailto so the viewer can mail it back to me).
When I open this PDF in acrobat, the submit button works and opens a prompt to use desktop email or web based email.
When I open the PDF in Preview however, the submit button no longer works.
Any reason why? And is there a way I can change this?
Thanks everyone!

I had a potential customer discover this same issue recently and with much embarrassment to me. I kept telling him how great the advanced PDF was and all he had to do was click my logo and the form could be sent to me effortlessly.
I thought I had tested the PDF within Preview, but I guess I overlooked that the reply function wasn't working. Anyway, I've been around the software block enough to expect problems... But this issue IMO is not a small thing.
I wish companies would realize the severe pitfalls of being too protective of proprietary functionality within their products. Because in the end, consumer confusion and frustration means we all loose.
So I'm supposed to have a disclaimer beside my PDF link on my site which says something like... "Hey this is an advanced PDF form, but it won't work with..."
Please forgive the rant if there's any update or fix I'm overlooking.

Officejet 6500A Plus Suddenly only prints red for most but not all occasions.

In the middle of printing a report it switched to RED ink. I bought and replaced black cartridge... though it still had ink. (NO SUCCESS) It prints BLACK for copies, for documents on Pages (I Mac) and from wife's laptop that is connected. SOMETIMES IT PRINTS BLACK when I click on PDF and Print.... but not all the time. It ALWAYS PRINTS RED when I print an e mail. No TROUBLESHOOTING suggestions seem to fit this irregular problem

PDF's are typically send to the printer as graphics, which may cause them to be printed with the color cartridge rather than black. If your cyan cartridge is low (or not working) the print will appear red. To address cyan not printing properly the document here may help.
Depending on your OS you may be able to set the printer to print in Grayscale and Black ink only.

PDF file prints fine from Acrobat reader XI, but not Acrobat Standard XI

I have a 2 page document that is set up as tabloid 11x17, meant to be printed duplexed and folded as a 4 pamphlet. The document with the same printer settings prints fine from Adobe Reader XI but from Adobe Standard XI, Page 1 prints fine, but page 2 looks like it is trying to print on the backside of an 81/2x11 instead of 11x17. I have played with the print settings in Standard, and cannot come up with a combination that prints that document correctly, yet it prints fine from Acrobat Reader XI. I did double check for updates on both products and installed them. Anyone have any idea as to why this is happening? If I print page 2 by itself it does print properly, just not when sent duplexed with page 1.

Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
1) Click ADVANCED
2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
3) Set DPI to 300
4) Click OK
5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

If I try to download a pdf document, it appears in the tab but not on screen. I am using Firefox. I tried it with Safari and the document appeared on screen but it wouldn't print.

If I try to download a pdf document, details appear in the tab but not on screen. I am using Firefox. If I use Safari it appears on the screen but the print is blank.

Hi...
Quit your browsers.
Open the Finder.
From the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Typs this exactly as you see it here: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Move the Adobe PDF Browser plugin (or just PDF Browser plugin) to the Trash.
Relaunch either Firefox or Safarai and try downloading a PDF document.

How to display and print CCR showing not only results, high, low or normal, but also normal ranges of tests.

How do I display and print CCR showing not only my actual results, high, low or normal results, but also normal ranges of each test? I can do this individually but not for the composite CCR.
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not exactly clear on what you are doing. I can tell you that the ranges and flags for high, low, and normal come from the lab results provider in the lab results they sent you, not from HealthVault. If you go back to the original document that came from
the laboratory, you should be able to open it as a document and print it.
I hope this helps. If not, please respond with more details, or if you'd prefer a private conversation, please contact HealthVault customer support by opening a support ticket with them.
Thanks,
Kathy

Print to PDF: won't open in Adobe Reader, but will in Preview

Subject says it all.
I use "Save as PDF" from an application and the resulting file does not open/display properly using Adobe Acrobat, but it opens and displays just great using Preview.
Dubya-tee-eff ?
Here is the offending PDF

What kind of file is produced directly, before using Save as PDF in the Printer dialogue?
I am not certain I understand the question. This app prints calendars. I hope to use the print-driver's "Save to PDF" feature to produce PDF's. The app prints. The options in the print dialog determine if it goes to the printer or the disc.

Printing Issue: Colors print fine from Photoshop but washed out in Illustrator

I am having trouble printing from Illustrator. The same image...whether cut and pasted, opened in, or using the swatch created....prints differently in Photoshop and Illustrator. I need to use this specific color (for branding purposes) and it prints fine in Photoshop but washed out and grey-ish in illustrator.
I've made sure the color settings are the same (in bridge) and made sure all the print settings are the same. It is the same color on the screen, and in detail, but the print output is clearly different. Any help please??

If I print from Acrobat, everything is washed out and greyed - both the PDF from Illustrator and the PDF saved from Photoshop.
I tried letting the printer decide and I tried set to illustrator - both washed out and greyed.
Here are my settings in illustrator:

WARNING 20225 - PDF Port and Printer

I recently bought a new computer and installed Adobe Acrobat 7.0 on it. (Previously I had this software on my older computer where it worked just fine and sufficed for my needs.)
When I installed this on my new computer, I got the following error message: "Warning 20225. Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port and Printer. The Adobe PDF may be unavailable."
Sure enough, it is indeed "unavailable."
How do I fix this problem?

Open Start>Printers and right click on the Adobe PDF printer and select the properties. Under the port listing you should see it trying to use the Adobe PDF Port. Simply change that to File (Print to file). You may have to play a bit to configure this method, but it is a a work around. The PDF Maker may even work this way, but I have not tried that. You would have to then open the file in Distiller to create the PDF. You might be able to use a watched folder to automate the conversion a bit more, but all will require some trial and error. Do not be surprised if things do not work or seem messed up, that is the nature of trying to use backdoor methods like this. The alternative as suggested is to upgrade and AA X may be the last upgrade you will qualify for with AA7. Of course, the next version if probably 1.5 years down the road. If you can afford it at some point, I would suggest the upgrade and not continue the workaround, even if you can get it to work.
The workarounds depend on taking out of the loop the various parts of the system that are so OS dependent. AcroTray is one of those components for the print process. PDF Maker is the other big one that is so dependent on how MS wrote OFFICE. I find it interesting that some folks complain about Acrobat not working with OFFICE and then go to a 3rd party to get the same result they would have gotten with Acrobat if they had simply printed to the Adobe PDF printer, but no they insisted PDF Maker. PDF Maker did not work and so they moved on without asking the basic question of printing.
In any case, good luck. I am just running on and need to quit -- get some work done.

Month view display and print format

An earlier version of iCal would display (and print) the current month without showing the last few days of the previous month and the first few days of the next month to fill out a week. Is there any way in version 3.0.7 to display and print in this format again?

Adobe Professional 9.0 display and print quality.

When I installed Adobe 9.0 it viewed and printed fine. Now it's unreadable. What settings do I need to change to get the viewing and printing back to where it's readable?

This happened to me late last year and through this forum I was able to follow setting changes I believe in my Abode Preferences and it worked. Then my computer crashed, but when I reinstalled Adobe Professional it was fine.
Then, we hired a new assistant for me. She installed Abode Professional 9.0 on a new computer (different version of course), and it was working fine in the beginning like mine did, and then one day she previewed a pdf and printed and the quality of the print became so low quality you couldn't read the text. Pictures are fine. I know it has to do something with the setting in preferences, but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was that I changed to fix this problem. You help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Susan
