Powerpoint file prints as image

When I print a pdf file from powerpoint, all pages print as images. The same file on another computer prints correctly as a pdf file. Does anyone know why and what setting I can change so that the pages do not print as images.
Thanks

Just to be sure, do you mean "Adobe PDF" or "pdf"? If the latter, do you have some other PDF printer installed? Being careful in terms of how you describe things can save a lot of time in helping.
What versions of Acrobat and Office are you using? These may or not be important, but they may be the key to the problem. I have been looking through PPT 2003 and can't find anything that would cause the result to be a graphic.

Trouble converting powerpoint files with png images to pdf-Can someone help?

Hello all,
In my line of work, I create and modify large sized posters that are created in powerpoint. I would have the files print ready by converting them to pdf. I usually have little to no issues executing this. However, I have been dealing with an issue of converting ppt files with png images. The size of the ppt is typically a 42x56 file. The several ways to convert to pdf produces an error each time. Png images are very useful as they provide much clarity vs jpegs or tiffs. The 3 ways I have tried below are:
A) File>Print>Adobe PDF>High Quality print settings/300dpi results to an error message that says:
     "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current print setup. Try one of the following:
     *Check the printer by printing a test page from Windows.
     *Make sure the printer is turned on and online.
     *Reinstall the printer driver"
     A blank pdf opens up (Selected to open file after publishing)
B) File>Save as> Change file type as a pdf results in nothing happening. No pdf is produced.
C) Acrobat>Create PDF results to an error message that says: "An unexpected error occured. PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF."
Again, this all happens with ppt files with png images. I took out the png images and attempted to convert to pdf, and the pdf is produced!
Can anyone provide any assistance in creating pdfs with png images or what settings I need to adjust? I am able to covert every other image type (jpeg, tiff, bmp), except for png images.
I am using Microsoft Office 2010 with Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 (This happened on Windows XP as well).

>I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
>master" so it will show up on every page.
PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
larger file size.
Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
image).
What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

Reader prints pdf file in mirror image, can't set off as a default that holds.

Same here using Adobe 9.3.2 this appears to be an adobe latest version programming issue. Can workaround by manually resetting before printing but that is not the point. Many others on here with same prob. Is there a fix?

Unfortunately changing the epub text size does not change the view at all. The images do not seem to change when the text size setting is changed.
The resolution of my machine is already at the max setting, so increasing the resolution is kind of impossible.
Any other suggestions I could try? Thank you for your suggestions!

Printing (flattening) a PDF'd powerpoint file

Hello.
I work in a Uni print room and get bombarded with lots of printing problems so i thought i would share this one and see if it is common or if there's any advice that could help.
I was sent a powerpoint file that has been converted to a PDF (i don't know what settings converted it i'm afraid) and people have been struggling to print it. It is less than 1mb in size and is a fairly simple powerpoint file made up of about 20 slides with text and master slide graphic that appears to be nothing out of the ordinary.
When it is sent to print it takes ages to flatten and get to the printer. I flattened the file using acrobat pro 9 and the file, once it eventually finished had grown from less than 1mb to over 350mb!
Anyway, i was hoping someone could shed some light on why this is happening to something as basic as a converted powerpoint file. Any advice will be greatfully recieved. I've read that it could be something to do with transparencies flattening, if that's helpful.
many thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks for replying Bill,
I don't have the original Powerpoint file i'm afraid. The reason this is a concern is that the Uni has a new online area where lecturers can put work up for students to get to. It appears everything must be PDF on there.
Well, i had a bit of a play and found i was able to flatten the file to a 3mb file by putting it on "low resolution" and dropping the "raster/vector" setting to "0".
This isn't ideal but atleast it means we can print the file.
Attached is the first page of the original PDF. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FHII77RR (hope this link is ok to use)
I believe that the problem is coming from the grey slide graphic on the left. It actually appears to go all the way across the page, as when flattening i can see the page loading and see this grey pattern covers all the page. Hope that makes sense.
Thanks again
Chris

When searching for an image in Finder on iMac, I found hundreds of images of printers !! All sorts of printer images which I certainly haven't loaded on.I went to Finder, File, Find and Image and there they are, hundreds,if not low thousands of them.

I was searching for an image on my Imac and when I went to Finder,File,Find and then Image, I found hundreds if not early thousand images of printers ! Amazing in one way but I didn't put them on my machine and don't really want them there.Did they come pre-loaded? Can I delete them safely? Thanks

Almost certainly, no absolutely not once you start deleting stuff like this that you think is not needed, eventually you'll trash something essential and cause yourself a lot of heartache.
There are numerous files classed as images, some will be temporary files in browser caches, others system files, others your "real" images, others files which are not really images but appear to be.
The amount of space of what I presume are essentially icons of printers will will be minimal, lets say these images are 5k in size (I guess they are much smaller?) and there are 1,000 of them, thats only 5Mb. No doubt your disk has multiple gigabytes free, eg thousands of times as much free as you'd save by deleting all of them. So you might gain back an extra 0.0001% disk space*. NOt worth the time, let alone the risk, plus then you'll get into a mindset "hmm, I dont think I can possibly need this 23byte file either I'll delete that as well etc, and then "problem......".
Where are the images stored? It may be that at some time you were searching for a new printer and these images are from that exercise (though I doubt you looked at thousands?) in which case they are in your browser cache and you can always delete that through the browser, but that space will be overwritten by other images anyway.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a motto to work by with computers.
*( or, if you really do need the (say) 5MB of disk space back because you are running out, this would only be a very temporary solution and that wont have done you any good)

How to print the image data stored in object of 'java.io.File' Class in jsp

I have created a file object for the image file in the system temporary directory.Now I want to display it in my page. please tell,How to print the image data stored in object(in my program it is imgr) of 'java.io.File' Class in jsp

Create a servlet which gets an InputStream of the file and writes it to the OutputStream of the response and call this servlet in `src` attribute. That's basically all.
Here's an example which covers the most of the minimum needs: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/04/imageservlet.html].

File won't print, no image selected

I am running into a wierd problem with Acrobat x. I am running Acrobat X on a mac using mac os 10.6.8.. When I go to print I often get an error message stating "cannot print" and then another saying "no image selected". I have tried printing it as an image but nothing seems to help. Does anyone know what might be causing this? The file is only one page so on page range to be printed I can only select all or current view. I have tried both. This is a pretty big issue since I am a digital printer and printing from Acrobat is constant requirement for the job.

First let me state that this is my solution on a Macintosh running 10.7.5 and Acrobat Pro X (with all the latest updates).
This problem started for me just this last weekend. I have been to every so-called solution that I could find via a Google search and NONE of these "solutions" even by the self-tagged "experts" work. PERIOD!
I decided to follow one suggestion to install Acrobat Pro 9. However, instead of uninstalling Acrobat Pro X first, I left it installed.
During the initial startup of Acrobat 9 after installation I was offered the option of installing an Extra feature called Adobe PDF Printer which allows me to "Create Adobe PDF files from any application by printing to Adobe PDF Printer". I opted in to that extra.
Once Acrobat Pro 9 had started I tested it using one of the PDF files that had failed to print with the dreaded "No pages selected......" error messages. THE FILE PRINTED AS EXPECTED!
I then decided I would uninstall Acrobat Pro X, but on a whim decided to try to print the same PDF file that had just printed using Acrobat Pro 9 one more time. IT PRINTED!
All I can figure out is that somehow selecting the option to have Acrobat Pro 9 install the option for allowing other applications to create a PDF repaired something within the Mac operating system. Just a guess.
Hope this helps someone.

Merge print multiple image files on one page

Hello,
A Windows 7 end user seeks for a technical support from me. She tries to merge print multiple image files (JPEG) by using the following steps :-
1) highlight more than 1 files
2) [Right-click] then Choose [Print]
3) she could print the multiple images on ONE page successfully when she initially bought/used this Win7 computer , but recently (these 2 months) she got the error : pop up a few dialogue windows saying "Insufficient memory"
4) I helped her to close all other applications software and found no high CPU/memory processes and also asked for help from hardware manufacturer and got NO virtual memory and physical memory full error by running a utility tool provided.
The hardware config :-
- Windows 7 Prof Service Pack 1 64 bit
- 4GB memory
- i5 Intel CPU
Anyone can help me to fix the issues for my end user ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Bruce,
In addition to above suggestions, this issue can also be caused by corrupted user registry key.
Please test the issue in new user accout.

Print a IMAGE in a REPORT

I need to print a IMAGE (hosting in the SE78 transaction store) in a REPORT.
is it possible????
Wait your responses. See you.

Hi,
Using ALV, you can upload logo into report like this:
For those who wish to upload and use a picture in your ALV abap reports.
Steps for uploading Logo :-:
1. Goto the transaction OAER
2. Enter the class name as 'PICTURES'
3. Enter the class type as 'OT'
4. Enter the object key as the name of the logo you wish to give
5. Execute
6. Then in the new screen select Standard doc. types in bottom window
Click on the Screen icon
Now, it will ask for the file path where you have to upload the logo
7. Now you can use this logo in REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
or
Import Logo and Background Picture for Reporting
In this step, you can import a customer-specific logo and a background picture into the R/3 System. These will be displayed in the header area of reports in HR Funds and Position Management.
From the SPRO:
HR Funds and Position Management --> Dialog Control --> Customize Reporting Interface --> Import Logo and Background Picture for Reporting.
Activities
1. Enter the Name of your logo/background picture as an object key in the initial screen.
2. Make sure that the class name is PICTURES, and the class type is OT.
3. Choose Execute.
4. Double-click the document type Picture on the Create tab page. A dialog box will appear in which you can enter the path in which the logo/background picture can be found.
5. Enter the path and choose Open. The logo will be uploaded into the current R/3 System. If the logo/background picture is to be transported into other systems as well, choose Transport.
6. Return to the initial screen and repeat the procedure after having entered the Name of your background picture as an object key.
Please note that the logo/background picture can only be displayed in ALV-based reports with an HTML header. Manually programmed reports such as business distribution plans are not based on the ALV.
If you have selected several initial objects, ALV-based reports in HR Funds and Position Management will automatically use a hiearchical-sequential display. A logo is not displayed here either. Note also that the logo cannot be printed (see print preview in program).
Make sure that the logo does not exceed a height of 100 pixels because it would mean that the header of the report will be scrollable.

Bhaskar

How do I keep the sticky notes from shifting their placement as soon as I select File, Print?

Working with Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 2007, I frequently use sticky notes to approve multi-page invoices scanned by another location. On the screen they appear where I put them - but as soon as I click File, Print with the printer "Adobe PDF" and "documents and markups" selected, the ntoes all shift to a static location on each page that overlays the invoice detail. I've tried multiple settings and defaults to no
avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Either don't rename upon export, or use the (original filename or) image number in the renaming template:
(see 'File Naming' section of export dialog box)

When I try to print an jpeg or png from Photoshop all it does is convert the image to a PDF & plop it on my desktop- it won't print the image. Any suggestions as to how to fix this?

Yes, the printer is on, it’s selected in Printer Set-Up & I’ve never had this problem before. It’s definitely a Photoshop issue as every other type of file prints fine. I’ve uninstalled Pshop & am now reinstalling. Hope that will do the trick.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

How to Set up Print As Image Registry Default.

This is a response to the archived post at:
martin hrubes, "How to customize printing by registry - print as image" #, 6 Nov 2007 2:28 am
I was trying to find out how to set the "Print As Image" advanced setting to be enabled by default. Here is what I discovered through trial and error.
1. The setting is stored per user and per printer. (i.e. it has to be set for each printer for each user.)
2. The registry setting is stored in the following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\8.0\General\cPrintAsImage]
3. In this key, each printer has a separate binary value named s0, s1, s2, etc. The number increments by 1 for each printer added. If you open the value data, you will see it contains the name of the printer encoded in hex. (ex. hex coded for \\Server\Printer1)
My recomendation is to open a pdf file in reader, go to File -> Print ->Select Desired Printer -> Click "Advanced" Options -> Enable "Print As Image" -> Click OK - Click OK again. Repeat for each printer you want to
change.
**NOTE** If you don't click OK both times (i.e. cancel the print dialog), the change will not be saved. You have to actually print something to the printer. If you don't want to print something, make sure the printer is offline or not accessible (unplug the network, usb, parallel, serial cable) first. Once the printer has been changed, it will keep the setting until to you change it.
After you have set-up all of the desired printers, open RegEdit and navigate to the above key. Right click on it, and export it. Note the file name and location you are saving to. Close RegEdit. "Edit" (Right Click) the file just exported ("Opening" the file will just import it back into the registry.). Once opened, highlight and copy the registry key and all of the registry values. Paste the key and values at the end of the file. In one of the keys change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\" to "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\". Save and exit the file.
When imported this file will enable the "Print As Image" setting for the currently logged in user plus add the setting to the default users profile so any new users to the machine will have it enabled by default also. However, it will not add it to any other user profiles that already exist on the computer. To do this, either use a login script for domain computers or add the reg file to the "All Users Startup" folder.
It would be nice to have a setting in the deployment custimazation wizard to handle this, but for now we're stuck with enabling it the hard way.

Yes Spyla, please see this link http://www.404techsupport.com/2008/09/09/make-adobe-reader-and-adobe-acrobat-use-print-as- image-setting-by-default-2/comment-page-1/#comment-3112.
Allan, many thanks for your post, it certainly helped point me in the right direction. what I found though is that you do not need to tick the print as image box at any point during the setting up of this. All you need to do is add the registry key for whichever version of Adobe you are using for this to work. So basically. what you are saying for each instance of Adobe is regardless of whether or not the print as image is selected, the registry key is saying always print as image for the printer as specified by the hex code. I have found that for network printers, you have to include the full path i.e. \\<servername>\<printername> e.g \\testserver\printer1 and convert all of that to hex. With later versions (9 up over), they have allowed for the string name of the printer so that it is just plain text which also makes life easier.
What I do is apply this registry entry via Group Policy on a per room basis so that we only ever need to add one printer to the list. you could do this globally by adding all printers sequentially using s0, s1, s2 or t0, t1, t2 etc depending on which version you are using. The screenshot shows the registry key for 1 printer for Adobe Reader 8.
The value data is the binary code for the actual full printer name
This works a treat.
Hope this helps
Thanks
