Please help with problem in PDF file and printing

I have created an Illustrator file with a logo on it. The logo looks fine in Illustrator (CS3 and CS5). If I use "save as" to then save the .ai file to a .pdf file, the logo looks the same as in the .ai file. However, if I use "print" to create a .pdf file, the logo sometimes loses some of the elements in it.
Here is what the logo should look like:
Below is what it looks like when I use "print" to generate the PDF file:
An additional problem is that even if I used "save as" to generate the pdf file, some times, when the file is actually printed physically onto paper, the logo appears in the wrong version (although it looks right on screen).
Can someone help me with this? I am quite desparet right now because I can't see how I can control this.
Also, is there any way I can attached the .ai file so someone can look at it?
The white lines that disappear are not "lines" they are a slightly larger shape placed behind the smaller black one in fonrt.
Thanks for any help!

Why are you "printing to pdf"? Does "Save As" yield better results?

Hi Randy Keil,
You might need to sign up with your Adobe ID and password at "https://cloud.acrobat.com/convertpdf"
Then you can choose the desired files to create the PDF.
Now, let me know what error message do you get while doing the same.
What kind of files are you trying to convert to PDF?
Have you checked with your internet connection and tried using a different browser?
Hope to get your response.

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.

How to use OLE2 to call "Adobe" to open a PDF file and print it out

I would like to print out PDF file when use click a button on the FORM. Anyone knows how to do it?

I would like to know how to do it too; but I am still using Developer 6i.
I have a bunch of PDF files and would like to print them inside of FORM.
I am using the HOST command like host('C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe /p/h 123.pdf') to do it now; however, the problem is that I have to physically close "ADOBE" everytime, otherwise, the next PDF cannot be printed.
Please advise how to do it Form6i?

Please help with submitting a pdf form

I've spend the last few days (literally) searching and searching - in this forum and across the web - for a SIMPLE solution to this problem and found nothing. Actually, I have found a few posts apparently trying to do the same thing I am, but with never a solution beyond "hire a programmer." Maybe I'm missing something obvious out there, and if so please feel free to throw tomatoes at me (along with a link I can get what I need - lol)
At this point I'm completely stumped - furthermore, I'm not a code guru in the slightest. In my research, I did find and buy a script that was supposed to do what I needed - but it doesn't so I'm still stuck and $50 in the hole.
Moving on, I realize this may be a rather low-tech request given the power of Adobe forms, but I have a client who wants it this way so that's the way it has to be. So, here we go...
My client wants his website viewers to complete an employment application pdf form and click <submit>
I have the form completely finished and ready to go
He then wants to receive that same completed form as a PDF document as an email attachment
He cares nothing about processing the form DATA (fields) becuase he simply wants to print the form and save it to his computer for future reference
However...
Most of the people viewing and completing this app are NOT computer savvy
In fact, many viewers use public computers (such as at a library) and have no email capabilities or the ability to save the form
So I cannot use the basic submit-by-email function (that requires a desktop email client)
So far what I've been trying to do (with the purchased script referred to above) is direct my <submit> button to the url of the php script on the client's server. If I select "html" in the (pdf) submit dialogue box, I do in fact get the DATA from the form in an email. But that's not what I need. If I select "entire pdf document" in the submit dialogue box, I get an error w/ the script.
In my research I've read that the form DATA can be sent to the server, then parsed back into a PDF form. This seems logical but unnecessary. Also this is an 8 page form with LOTS of data fields, some are required others are optional.
Is there ANY WAY to have the same form a viewer is filling out and submitting simply sent as an email attachment from the server the form is hosted on???

Yes, that's possible, and I have just the script...
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I would suggest that the best approach is to set up the form to submit just the form data as an FDF file. This avoids the limitations associated with Reader-enabling the form, which is necessary for the entire filled-in form to be submitted. You mentioned that just sending the form data is logical but unnecesary, but this will be by far the most reliable method.
Now, you just need a server-side program (script) that processes the form submission. Here's what the script would do:
1. Accept the incoming data and check that it is a valid FDF.
2. Attach the FDF to an email message that gets sent to your client
The recipient of the email can launch the FDF attachment and the corresponding PDF will load and get populated with the data in the FDF. The filled-in PDF can then be viewed/printed/saved.

HELP! opening a pdf file and using page view

Hi everyone!
I'm doing a school project in which I'm trying to develop an app that opens a pdf file from the device memory (ipad or iphone) and lets the user turn pages forward and backward by swiping on the screen. Although I have very basic knowledge of C++ and Objective C programming, I find myself completely lost and don't know how nor where to start. I'd be pleased if you could help me or at least give me a starting point to develop my app.
Thank you
Albert

Problems reading PDF Files and or Word Documents and when purchased this I had Word on this computer?

I need help I had just recently purchased a program to help solve issues on my computer From Reimage and they still have not fixed the problems that I am having and I am no computer wiz and need help.

You need Adobe Reader to read PDF files.
You need MS Office to open Word docs. If you don't have then
LibreOffice is one of your best bets.

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

I need help with combining two pdf files together but it won't let me in the latest Acrobat DC?

Hi,
I had two ai files, 11 by 17 on separate pages, and made them into pdf's. When I combine the files, it will let one out of the two files go through. The funny thing is that it will let the larger file go through than the smaller file. The file that went through had been in ai, dropped it into photoshop and put it back into ai again. The file that won't go through is a quote with different text. What should I do? What does pdf/a, pdf/x, pdf/e and preflight mean?
Thank you

Make sure neither of the PDF have been secured in some manner like password protection, form rights or forms distribution.
Forms created with live cycle cannot be combined by Acrobat.

Please help!! Acrobat PDF file Format is having difficulties??

So... I had been working on some thing the entire day, and then my PC crashed.. I did save my project while
I was working, so I was not that worried first. But then when I finely installed my virus scanner and restarted
my computer I tried to open the project I was working on and now is says this:
I tried to put it in an other new project and it does want to show what it looks like but it just refuses to open
normal or to let me edit it.
Why Illustrator, why are you doing this to me??
Please does anyone have an idea what I can do to get my lost artwork??

Any chance you have a backup from Dropbox or local backup software? If so, you could retrieve a version before the crash.
Is the file .ai or .pdf? Have you tried opening in Acrobat? If .ai, I would try duplicating file and changing extension to .pdf and see if Acrobat opens it.
Just a few thoughts. Maybe someone has a better idea.

DLP TV is much darker lately, please help with problem

Hello everyone, I found this forum after some searching around, I figure it's the best place since it is Toshiba itself, rather than a forum with all TV's. I'm very sorry for the long message, but I wanted to share everything so that you have all the info. I know it's hard to read through all that but I hope someone with know-how does and helps me.
My TV: Toshiba 62" DLP (62HM84) connected through HD cables of high quality (RGB), not HDMI (I found the former is better on this TV for some reason, maybe due to the latter being new at that time)
I bought this TV within months of its release, so I've had it for a very long time, and have experience with its functions as well as how it's supposed to look like, and of course how much life to expect from the lamp/ballast.
The first lamp lasted almost 2 years, and I replaced it. Since then I replaced the lamp on average about every year and a half (acceptable, perfectly, as the TV is on all the time).
So, after about 4 lamp replacements, it exploded again. This time the new lamp would not work, and I found out it was the ballast. $300 later, it was on again and working fine.
Since this last replacement, which was well over 2 years ago now, closer to 3 years, by far the longest of any before, it's still going, minus the darkness problem, described below.
In the last few months I have noticed the TV is noticeably darker, at all times. It was never very bright in daylight, but now it's almost impossible to watch in the day, and at night, when usually everyone who came over told us that our TV is by far the most beautiful as far as picture goes of all they have seen (even compared to new 1080p LEDs and plasmas, I guess they just don't know how to set them up properly), at night it is just nice now, no longer bright and beautiful, but just nice. Still looks great in HD, but for some reason it's just dark.
Contrast, brightness, HUE, Color, everything is set perfectly, I tried film/movie/video modes, LOW/HIGH (it's always on high now), and nothing. It's still very nice, but dark, much darker then ever before, even if still very sharp and colorful. When connected through HDMI and my laptop, it's almost unwatchable, the dark scenes are so dark you can't see anything, but I don't think that is related because on HD channels the problem is not that bad, it's dark, but watchable, and dark scenes are still normal, just not like they should be.
I am just wondering basically if this problem is an old lamp problem, which is what I'm hoping. I can't see it being the color wheel, the colors are great and my searches brought up no such hits. But I can't wrap my head around a bulb losing brightness over time, I always figured it's either working or not, over its lifetime, it's the reason why I chose DLP over Plasma/LCD (at the time, my next will be a LED for sure, maybe Toshiba, have to do research)
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
PS. How important is it to buy an OEM lamp rather than one that is made by a third party? I don't even know which I have now, or if Toshiba even still makes these, or if they ever did (the color wheel is Samsung, I don't think Toshiba makes any parts at all, only puts them together, but I don't know for sure, and I've always had Toshiba tv's in the past, so I'm sticking to what I know, but that may change). When I buy the lamp, I just go by the code on the lamp, I forget it now (TB25-LMP , I think)
I just did a search for lamps, and it seems there are big differences in prices, from $72 on newegg, to $150 from some Japanese named company which claims the lamp is extremely high quality.
If it is the lamp, I mean my problem, I want to get the best possible, if it makes a difference, the make of the lamp I mean. Please, any help.
I'm very sorry for the long message.

did changing the lamp resolve your problem with the picture being dim?

Could someone please help with two differences between CS and CS4?

Hello, I just moved from Photoshop CS to CS4 and have a couple of questions regarding some differences I'm seeing in the two versions.
(1) When opening files, I'm used to them opening in a smaller view as individual windows. CS4 opens all images in the expanded view. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? I create massive sports photo galleries (often more than 100 images) and usually open 25-30 images at a time, then minimize all images and work on them one at a time in chronological order. The was CS4 opens these images in full screen mode, it prevents me from doing this in a timely manner - PS never opens a group of photos up in a true chrono order. It misplaces the first image to the end.
(2) In CS, I used to be able to Right-Mouse-Click on the image's title bar to change Image and Canvas sizes. Any way to get this to work in CS4? CTL+ALT and either I or C is a three-key process and takes considerably longer than right clicking my mouse and choosing the correct option.
Thanks for any help you can provide. And apologies for being such a newbie to the latest and greatest Photoshop version. I've been living in CS for years
Mike

You are a life saver. Thanks! I looked in the INTERFACE area about three times and never understood that TABBED meant that it was opening them full screen.
Any idea how to deal with question #2? Cannot set up an ACTION for this as the action makes me have to choose an image size. I just want to have the Image or Canvas size windows open with one click, rather than holding down three keys.
Thanks again. You have been rewarded with a CORRECT ANSWER click
Mike
