Preview/pages to pdf

From document file-pulls up Resume file in preview; "save as" pdf-does NOT come up in PDF.What did I do incorrectly? Thanks to those who can help

Probably because there is no *Save As…* pdf.
There are 2 means of Export… to pdf one under the File menu and the other under Share.
You can also Print to pdf:
+Menu > File > Print > PDF (bottom left) > Save as PDF…+

JasperReports - how to save as PDF from Print Preview page?

Hi all!
How can I save reports created with JasperReperts (with iReport tool) as PDF?
On print preview, when I select it is as PDF, and click on "save", nothing is saved. Also, I get NoClassDefFoundError despite I included all nessesry classes (did I?). Here are list of included classes
jasperreports-1.2.7.jar;
jasperreports-1.2.7-javaflow.jar;
commons-beanutils-1.5.jar;
commons-collections-2.1.jar;
commons-logging-1.0.2.jar;
commons-digester-1.7.jar;Here is my code:
void printWithPreview() {
    try {
      JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
      JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
      //byte[] pdfasbytes = JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print); // can I use it somehow?
      JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
    } catch (JRException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}Can you help me with this?
Also, I need to know, how to limit options "save as" only to PFD (on same Print Preview page)?
Thank you in advance!

Right!
I was missing iText.jar.
So, you need only this code to get report preview and feature to export to pdf, html and other formats:
void printWithPreview() {
    try {
      JasperPrint print = JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, reportParam, conn);
      JasperViewer.viewReport(print, false);
      JasperExportManager.exportReportToPdf(print);
    } catch (JRException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}You do not need to save it specificly to c: or other "hard coded" directory.
Thanx 1000 times!!!

Preview Won't Insert Pages Into .PDF from File

Preview - Edit - Insert - Page from File doesn't work since upgrading to Yosemite. Dragging and dropping the .pdf pages from one Preview window to the document in another Preview windows does not work either. It appears that the command is executed (dragging and dropping shows the green circle with the white plus when I drop) but nothing happens.
In the end I just need to add four .pdf pages from one document to an existing .pdf document. This function worked fine and I became accustomed to easily adding/deleting/organizing pages in .pdf documents using Preview with Mavericks. I have restarted and shut down the computer multiple times including opening and closing preview and the documents I'm using. Any thoughts?

Works for me.
Open a PDF File
Navigate to where want a page inserted.
Go to Edit ===> Insert ===> From Scanner or Page from File or Blank Page
Preview will insert page below the page.
It is not as good a tool as some other software for fiddling with PDFs but it works.

Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

PC users cannot open my Pages-exported PDF documents

Has anyone encountered this? When I want to give someone a PDF, I need to export it from Pages, choose "Open with Adobe Reader," and then re-save from Reader as a different name. (If I just export from Pages, some PC users cannot open it.) When I look at the file information for these two supposed PDFs, the one that's only exported from Pages says "Portable Document Format (PDF)" and the one opened and resaved with Reader says "Adobe PDF Document." What's going on here? Is there a reason my PC friends can't open a Pages-generated PDF?

Thanks for the suggestions. Funny, when I changed the "Open With" selection inside the "File Info" box to tell it to use Reader, it it still tells me in the "General" information section that it's a "Portable Document Format (PDF)", but it does replace the "Preview" icon in the upper left with the Adobe logo. Only the version that I physically opened with Reader and re-saved lists the "Kind" of document as an "Adobe PDF Document". Wacky.
Regarding the extension, when I exported from Pages, the "Hide Extension" box was unchecked in the "Save" window, yet the file's PDF extension is in fact hidden (and the "File Info" box also says it's hidden). What's up with that? Grr.
Seems like a small bug--now I just have to get some PC-using friends to let me know which ones they can open! Thanks for your (tres rapide) help guys!

Problem with exporting and printing from pages to PDF

I have a problem with my Pages
My font will not be embeded in my pdf files.
I have saved as a ps file and in to the destiller and my fonts are missing.
I need to send my file to the print shop but they will not accept my file and i now understand why.
fonts are missing...
Is there a workaround.
I have no problem in Indesign or quark but pages.....
I need help
thanks a zillion

The font is coming from a notation software Sibelius 4 and is namned opus
Hmmm ... Sibelius is a music notation software and notations are marked up in MusicXML. Presumably the font file is an SFNT with TrueType splines, but it is probably not installed in OS X system folders - rather in an internal Sibelius application font folder. So presumably you do not see the font in FontBook and OS X font auditing does not apply to the font.
Sibelius exports EPS files, right? If memory serves, an EPS is still legal even if the font resource is not embedded. And in any case, we know from the behaviour that the font resource is not embedded for some reason. So how do you get Sibelius to put the font resource inside the graphic ... normally there is a button in the EPS export procedure that gives you the option to Embed All Fonts.
You do not seem to get this button, though. Or why else would you not have checked it already and the problem would have gone away already.
The next point in troubleshooting this is that you are not following the path that would let OS X detect that an external font resource is not embedded.
I go from pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8-save as Pdf-x
What you are doing here is telling Pages to tell OS X to generate a PostScript program within which is nested your Encapsulated PostScript program with the call to an unresolved external font resource.
So why does Acrobat Pro not detect the unresolved external font resource? Hmm ... did you try the Preflight option in Acrobat 8 Pro? It should provide information on unresolved embeddings.
I have also tried pages-print-printer- acrobat Pro 8 and save pdf as postscript and put the postscript file in destiller 8 pro with defalt setting high quality print
The whole problem with EPS and PS is that this sort of situation is possible in the first place (plus, what is worse, the PS program can include custom additions to the graphics model that then fail in the PS interpreter whence Apple GX normalizing, Adobe Distiller normalizing, and Apple Quartz normalizing). You want to get as far away from EPS and PS as possible, believe me.
So, you have not done what I posted that you should do in the first place. If I were you, I would first get rid of the problem that the EPS is making a call to an external font and then get rid of the problem that the PostScript is preserving the external call.
To get rid of the problem that the EPS is preserving an external call, simply open the EPS in Apple Preview which includes a NORMALIZER for EPS/PS, and then save out the graphic as PDF. Alternatively, if you don't trust Quartz for some reason, set up a hotfolder for Distiller, make sure the option to embed all fonts is enabled, and convert the EPS to PDF.
Now replace your EPS in Pages with PDF in Pages, and don't save PostScript to disk but save PDF to disk through the proper procedure which is File > Print > PDF > Save as PDF/X [for your custom configuration of the PDF/X-3 filter considering that no sane person in North Europe prints lowend US SWOP, we use ISO].
If you begin by telling OS X that you want PDF within which fonts are supposed to be embedded ALWAYS, then you have started the right way. Otherwise, you have not told the operating system what you want to do, and this then leads you into places where you are unlikely to have the expertise to troubleshoot problems.
So, forget placing EPS in the first place, place PDF. And forget saving PostScript to disk, save PDF to disk. If that does not sort your problem, here is the dirty solution for professional prepress.
Adobe Photoshop has an EPS rasterizer that has wide tolerances for poor PostScript programming (so does Adobe Illustrator 6 and higher by the way).
Therefore, if an EPS is posing problems, one workaround is to rasterize the EPS at high resolution in Photoshop and place that high resolution PDF in your layout.
Take care that you rasterize as 1 bit at the required resolution of the print provider, probably 2450 dpi. When you save the 1 bit as PDF, Photoshop automatically compresses to a very, very small file (don't be surprised if 15Mb compresses to something like 0.5Mb).
Rasterizing in Photoshop should not be necessary if you simply start by telling the operating system what it is you are trying to do. Then the operating system should be able to take the right decisions for you, and tell if you if finds problems it cannot resolve without turning to you.
Good luck,

Suddenly, I can't save Safari web pages as PDFs. ???

I often download website documents to my Mac Pro by choosing the "Save as PDF" option in the Print dialog box. Suddenly, that option is "grayed-out" and unavailable. There's a Save as Postcript option which ultimately fails, and I can print the document on paper, which is not an acceptable alternative.
This problem appeared after I downloaded the latest System 10.4.9 update, but I can't say whether that's the cause.
I can still save Safari pages as PDF files on my G4 Power Book, also running 10.4.9, but not on the Mac Pro. Both computers have Adobe CS2's PDF capabilities in addition to Apple's Preview software.
Any ideas? (Previous posts on similar problems did not have an answer.)
2.66 GHz Mac Pro & 1.5Gz PowerBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Airport network, firewire external drives (5x160GB)

Hello David:
Hard to tell what happened.
I would do a couple of things:
Clear the Safari cache.
Trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
If that does not help, you could (depending on how important the function is to you) run an archive and install:

Preview and creating PDF's

Hello All,
I recently got a new iMac with Snow Leopard installed. My old computer was a G5 iMac with Leopard.
I am trying to create a single PDF from several individual PDF's on my new computer using Preview. This used to be a very simple operation with dependable results using Leopard and my old computer.
Well, I am having all sorts of problems with Snow Leopard and it's version of Preview.
I open Preview with one PDF and then add 3 more by dragging them to the sidebar. Then I can rearrange as I want. The probem occurs with I attempt to save the new document. It will only save the page that is highlighted. I tried to highlight all the pages but that still does not work and only 1 page gets saved. I finally worked around it by highlighting all the pages in the sidebar and then used "Print selected pages" to create the pdf. This is not an easy task depending upon how many pages are in the new PDF. Luckily today I only needed to merge 4 pages.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to do this in the version of Preview that comes with Snow Leopard?
Thanks for your help.
Sue

The problem isn't with what Acrobat is discarding, but what Mac Preview is doing with the data available. The problem is with Preview. You cannot make a silk purse with a sow's ear. If Preview is doing a terrible job rendering a perfectly fine pdf, that Reader displays appropriately, there is nothing Adobe can do.

Can only download preview of some pdfs on iPad / iPhone

Hello,
I have a strange problem with some pdf download links on my iPad and iPhone
and hope that somebody here has gone through that before and give me a hint.
Problem description:
I have a problem when I try to dowload a pdf. If the pdf is linked with a normal
http-link, I have no problem opening it, it is shown in an extra tab in safari and
I can save it in iBooks. So far so good.
But: If the dowload is initiated with a command-button, then I only see a 1-page
preview of the pdf as an image. The image shows the first page of the pdf correctly
but I can find no way to download or save the complete pdf. If I save the preview
as an image, I see no content in this image afterwards, just a small text saying
"pdf".
What I can do, is download this pdf with Safari on OS X 10.10 and on Windows
with any Internet Browser. Android is also no problem.
So I did a lot of research and testing:
- I googled a lot and followed all related instrunctions I could find: no success.
- I saved the pdf on my Mac, mailed it to myself and opened it on the iPhone or iPad.
No problem to view the pdf, it just wouldn't download.
- So I enabled and disabled restrictions on all devices, with no success. I also added
the website to the trusted websites when enabling restrictions, no success.
- I fiddled around with all safari-options, enabled and disabled cookies, switched
between "open in background"/"open in new tab" and tested all other options,
even those who shouldn't have any influence on this problem. No success.
- Next I installed other apps capable of viewing PDFs since I thought them registering
as PDF-viewers could change this behavior. Again no success. (I tested Acrobat
Reader and Amazon Kindle)
- After that I installed Google Chrome: Only a slight change happend, now I saw
one and a half pages (instead of one) of the pdf as a preview.
- Next I updated my iPhone 5 from iOS7 to iOS8.1.: No success.
- I was so desperate after that, that I even resetted my iPhone to factory-defaults,
completly erasing all content and settings. Again no success.
- After that I was running out of ideas.
Technical background:
- The pdf I'm trying to download contains confidental content so I unfortunately
cannot provide a link to it. But I know it's a dynamically created pdf, hence the
command-button instead of a normal link.
- The pdf contains no forms and other fancy stuff, just plain (ok, formatted) text
and some small icons.
- I can easily download and view other (static) pdfs from the same website.
- I have this problem on my iPhone 5 with iOS7 (latest version and iOS8.1 and
on my iPad2 with iOS7 (latest version).
- It works well on my MacBook with OS X 10.10. and on Windows and Android.
- I can view the pdf on iOS if I send it via Mail and open it locally, I just can't download it.
- I think while searching for a solution I found a document saying something about
possible problems on iOS when providing download-links within html frames.
Unfortunately I could't find this document again but I checked and the download-
button indeed is embedded in a html frame (for what it's worth).
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Wolfram

It looks as if your server does not support 'byte-range requests'. This facility is necessary for iOS devices (it involves calling for part of a file at a time rather than the whole file) so you will need to take this up with the people running your server. Note that this applies to the media files, not the feed.

Printing multiple slides per page for pdf

Hey guys. I just downloaded 10.10.1 and I'm unable to print multiple slides per page for my pdf files. Usually before I print, I can choose an option if I want to have 4 or 6 slides per page printed (as this helps to save paper and is how I have my notes for school). But now, it says "copies per page" instead of "slides per page". So the print preview shows the same 1 slide printed 6 times on each paper, instead of 6 different slides on 1 paper (which what is what I was able to do before I downloaded Yosemite).
Does anyone know how to print multiple slides per page for pdf files???

Did you try the Layout panel? Page per sheet?

Preview "breaks" my pdf files

I am working on a remote directory, mounted with sshfs. I create pdf files in this directory with pdflatex.
Whenever I open a pdf file (made with pdflatex) using preview, it creates a dot-underscore file that is apparently "broken:"
If I close preview, then try to reopen the file again, preview says "file.pdf is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash".
However, if I delete the dot-underscore file, I can open the file fine with preview (although it will again create a "broken" dot-underscore file).
I should note that the pdf files I create can be read just fine by all types of viewers - they are for a class I teach and students read them with all sorts of devices and operating systems.
Thanks for any advice.

You can delete the attributes in the Terminal with:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine filename
Or from a whole directory with:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine diretoryName
I'm not sure why Preview is adding these to existing files. There are loads of pages about how Apple's quarantine system works, though.

Previewing Pages document in Preview shows page numbers incorrectly

Previewing Pages (5.2) document in Preview (7.0) shows page numbers incorrectly. Regardless of starting page number preview shows as Page 1.
Suggestions appreciated...

That appears to be YABIP5 (Yet Another Bug In Pages 5].
Pages .09 documents are fine.
No prizes however for finding bugs in Pages 5/5.2 it's swarming with them.

On the Comcast email site, on the "Inbox Preview" page, if I click on "View Entire Inbox" or on a particular message, Firefox will just return me to the Inbox P

On the Comcast mail site, I cannot get past the "Inbox Preview" page. If I hit anything, including "View Entire Inbox" or on a particular message, or anything else, I'll just be returned to the "Inbox Preview" page. This only happens on Firefox. When it started happening, I finally gave up and tried Internet Explorer, which works fine. I'd prefer to access email on Firefox, so please tell me how to correct this.
I don't know if this is related, but immediately before this started happening, I may have hit something on my laptop, which caused the Comcast email screen to magnify to the point where I could not view the message window on messages. I couldn't figure out how reverse this, so I did the above (went to IE, which was fine). When I next attempted to access Comcast email from Firefoxe, the site was no longer magnified, but I had the above problem with being unable to get past the Inbox Preview page.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.

How do I access the iTunes Preview page with a web browser?

Does anyone out there know how to access the iTunes app preview page with a web browser? So far the only way I've been able to get there is by Googling the app with the term 'iTunes preview'. Is that really the only way? The iTunes page itself has no obvious link to the app list.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I should have been more specific. I was trying to access the iTunes app preview page on my PC through Chrome. While I have an iPad, it's not convenient to have to refer to it every time I want to discuss an iOS app.
