Preview Printing

I'm posting this question here after trying it at the Printing And Faxing forum. I have a book of my own compositions that i scanned to a disc. The book has a table of contents, and other introductory material that is numbered with roman numerals. The rest of the book is numbered normally, starting with the first composition on page one. The problems start when i try to print out one of the tunes. I click the print icon, enter the the page i want to print (i.e. from 23 to 23) and hit print. What happens is, Preview prints the 23rd page of the entire book, including the introductory pages, not page 23 starting from page 1. Other than adding up the roman numeral pages and tacking that on to 23 and printing that number, is there a way around this? It's extremely annoying, and it's kind of ruining Preview for me, even though i like it much better than Adobe Acrobat (where i don't have this problem) I'd like to dump Adobe and just use Preview, but i can't until this problem is solved. Thanks.

I have Word, and have been trying to open the PDF's in it, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I open Word, then file/open, then I navigate to the files on the disc, but all the different PDF's are greyed out. I just don't understand how PDF's can be opened in a text program. With that said, it's not really that big of a deal. Acrobat works o.k., I just like Preview better, it runs more smoothly and the images look better, I just hate the printing thing that started this whole thread. And thanks for the music scanning apps, but scanning my hand-written scores into the computer hasn't been the problem, just the printing in Preview.

    I guess you need to fix it

  • Preview printing to Black and White?

    for some dumb reason (either me or the UI....) i can't figure out how to set up a preset for a single page in black and white out of preview.
    can anyone help?

    With the Preview print dialog set to Show Details, you should be able to select the vendor menu where the B&W / Grayscale setting is located. Or if you are using Apple's AirPrint driver, then the B&W setting is present in the print dialog as shown below.

  • Preview Print is Boffo (V2)

    Someone tell me if I am doing something wrong of if Preview print just acts whack.
    I open three images in Preview:
    I. I do nothing and pulldown to Print and it will print the FIRST image
    II.I do nothing and pulldown to Print Selected and it will print the FIRST image
    III. I select all three images and pulldown to Print and it will print the FIRST image
    IV. I select all three images and pulldown to Print Selected and it will print ALL THREE IMAGES
    I mean, wouldn't the logical - and most HASSLE-FREE way to implement this is to let me run a PRINT and let me print all three images that I have opened? This way if I want to print /less/ I can SELECT LESS and run a Print Selected? Right now it is a /major/ pain to have to always SELECT ALL MY IMAGES when I want to print them. Also, it is really illogical to have three different ways of printing just the first image, isn't it?
    I missing something here and there is an easier way to print all my images than jumping through an additional two or three hoops to get there...?
    Is this the it's a turkey and not the i have a bug deal again?
    THANKS

    i am trying to simplify an existing workflow. can you just give me what you know and not what you presume because this is getting difficult to understand.
    I am giving you what I know. I have to presume some things because I'm not running your version of Mac OS X, so I can't be sure that Apple hasn't changed something between my version and yours.
    one way to do this is to use terminal to (apparently) change the default settings of the Print Dialog because these don't stick in a way that would make them more useful.
    No, the Terminal commands would alter the behavior of Preview, not the Print dialogue box.
    you are saying that these keystrokes are a REPLACEMENT for manually selecting all the images and then printing them? I mean, these two keystrokes replace my MANUALLY SELECTING ALL THE IMAGES and then running a PULLDOWN TO PRINT?
    No, I believe that's what fane-j was implying, in an ideal world. But at least on my system you can't "Select All" and then print, since you only get the image in the active window, and if I load multiple images at once, that command doesn't work anyway. I don't think Apple has changed that in this most recent version of Preview.
    If so, I would really rather prefer to have a workaround to avoid the dialog altogether that would just let me print images directly from Finder.
    We'd all like to reduce keystrokes, but I doubt you'd be able to avoid the Print dialogue anyway, because you do have to choose which printer you want, as well as paper size, etc. If you Control-click on a single image, you can choose 'Print' from the contextual menu and it will print immediately, without going to the Page Setup or Print diaglogue menus.
    Do you have a suggestions for reducing KEYSTROKES or MANUAL OPERATIONS to print all my documents? This is the point of the post unless I am using the dialog for Print wrong or unless there is a bug in my system.
    First thing you should do is try those Terminal commands and then test Preview to see if the annoying behavior continues; if not, that would reduce at least one click or keystroke. If not, there are some other things we can add or change that may also help you with the default sizing of your images.

  • Event "Workbook_BeforePrint" not on new funtion "preview&print"

    Hi
    After starting the work with Excel 2010 I recognized that the new function "print&preview" does not call the event "Workbook_BeforePrint" from the VBA code. In Excel 2007 the event is called on both functions, print and preview.
    As the new function "preview&print" is pushed to the user, it will the one to be used to call the preview. But with a macro on the event "Workbook_BeforePrint" the preview will not show the result as it will be printed.
    Is there any action I can take to solve this problem on my side? Or is there any plan to integrate the event into the new function?
    Many thanks for every help.

    Hello Parzungjh,
    Welcome to the MSDN forum and we are glad to help with you.
    After reading your post, I did test in Excel2010 and Excel2007, just as you said, I reproduce your problem. However, I don't think
    it as a problem.
    I think it is by design.
    I found that print and preview feature is integrated in Excel2010. If you want to control the trigger of BeforePrint event
    in Excel2010, you can write some simple VBA codes as follows:
    Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
    Dim Print_or_Preview As XlYesNoGuess
    Application.EnableEvents = False
        Cancel = True
        Print_or_Preview = MsgBox("Show Print Preview?", vbYesNo)
        If Print_or_Preview = vbYes Then
            ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
            Else
            ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintOut
        End If
    Application.EnableEvents = True
    End Sub
    ActiveWindow.ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
    can open the print preview dialog like Excel2007. I haven't found the way to open the print view dialog through UI.
    I think it is the change in Excel2010.
    I hope it can help you and feel free to follow up after you have tried.

  • Preview prints, Acrobat won't

    I am having trouble printing from Acrobat 7.0.7 (both Pro and reader), but the same documents print using Preview.
    Can anyone tell me the difference between the data being sent to my printers by each application?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same trouble: Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional will not print documents, while Preview prints them just fine. The documents I'm trying to print were created on QuarkXpress 6.5 and printed with Acrobat Distiller 6.0.1 for MacIntosh, PDF Version 1.5 (Actobat 6.0). So, the suggestion that the problem may be PDFs created in Distiller for Windows does not apply. Unfortunately, the document's security settings to not allow me to use PDF Optimizer to resave the documents (nor am I able to recreate them by writing a PS File and distilling a new document). The security does allow for high resolution printing.
    I can print older PDF documents, but lately I've found that Adobe Acrobat will print documents. All I get are blank pages.
    I've tried removing the printer and reinstalling it. Did not help. There appears to be some incompatibility between OS 10.4.6 and Adobe Acrobat 7.0.7 Professional.

  • Smartform preview / print of chinese characters

    Hello all
    I am facing this issue:
    After implementing SAP Note 852926, the Smartform preview / printing works fine with Chinese characters in DEV system.
    The Unit test were OK and then the SAP Note has been transported to our TEST env, but the chinese characters are not previewed and printed correctly there.
    I see characters as "»ÆêÍ" instead of "黄晖"
    I can not find any difference in settings / fonts of the two systems. What am I missing?
    Anybody can give a hint?
    Thanks
    Imrich

    Hello Imrich,
    Do you use the same device type to print in th test system?
    To print Chinese characters from SAP, there are some rules:
    1. The form must have Chinese language key 'ZH' or the Chinese texts must be included as standard texts with the language key 'ZH'.
    2. The correct Chinese fonts(e.g. CNHEI or CNSONG) must be used for the Chinese texts in the form.
    3. The form must be processed with a device type that supports the simplified Chinese language.(eg:device type CNSAPWIN).
    Another possibility if you have a Unicode system is tp print via desvice type SWINCF. Here the language of the form doesn't matter.

    Aidan

  • Error print preview, print setup, print Reports

    I don't know what's the problem and what's the solution????
    Please Help me ??

    Dear Ibrahim,
    Can u Just let me know the Version and edition of Windows like Basic/Professional or Ultimate.
    AVAA errors are commonly caused by lack of permissions to the Project Management install directory, the default path is \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professiona
    Generally P6 writes a log to this directory. But if the Currently Logged in user does not have Read / Write access to this directory, an error will be thrown.
    Solution:
    Grant Read and Write access to the P6 PPM installation directory,
    by default: \Program Files\Oracle\Primavera P6\Primavera P6 Professional for the Currently Logged In User
    Pls Let me know whether this Has Worked For You Or Not.
    With Warm Regards

  • Debugging Preview/Print in ME23N

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having problems with preview/printing a formular when I'm in transaction ME23N. I modified the standard program  SAPFM06P to decide in witch language it would be shown.
    I made the changes before function 'OPEN_FORM' and i export the language parameter.
    My problem is that this goes well with preview, when I try to print, the program didn't arrives to that point. The problem didn't executes any OPEN_FORM function or some functions related with SapScript...
    What's going on?
    Thanks a lot

    Hello Jose,
    You have copied the program SAPFM06P which is the main program which is executed for printing the PO. This program is copied as ZSAPFM06P and the same entry has been made in the customisation for message of PO.
    Next the entry point in this program is also maintained in the customisation which is usually ENTRY_NEU and which I believe u have not changed. From this FORM the call to ME_READ_PO_FOR_PRINTING and ME_PRINT_PO or Z_PRINT_PO is made. Did u check if while printing an entry is made to the FORM routine?
    Check the printing procedure it might just be skipping ur printing option altogather... Check through customisation. WHat is the status shown in PO when u go to messages section?

  • Cannot Print to any Printer / Cannot Preview Print (Printing from Classic Reader Works)

    I'm having the same problem noted here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/989426?esab=a&as=aaq
    I will check if reinstalling printers helps - note that I'm trying to print to a virtual pdf printer. However, as the title suggests, I have been successful in printing from the Classic Reader found by navigating as per:
    more > view using the classic reader
    Once in that mode Print Preview is available and Print reveals all the relevant printers and the one I selected worked.
    I'm sure that this is not the design intent. Feedback would be useful.
    I would also point out that the circuitous path to register for support is confusing. I found this bug report in my search to find a way in:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=972269
    It seems daft to raise a new question to an old problem when replying to an existing discussion would be less time consuming and more logical to my way of thinking - refer bug report (seems I'm not alone in that view).

    If you select the email and then use:
    '3bar menu icon' > 'Print' > 'Print Preview'... is this also greyed out?
    Have you tried...
    * deselect and then reselect the printer as default via Control Panel > Printers?
    * uninstall and then reinstall printer?
    Can you post this info:

    * click on 'Copy text to clipboard'

  • Preview prints lose the bottom part of the page

    Yesterday, after doing an update (which only updated iTunes, so it's probably not what caused the problem), I found that all print jobs from Preview (and a few other programs that I've tried) are missing roughly the bottom 1 cm of the page.  I've grovelled through all the settings and preferences that I can find, and I've made various other things change, but no matter what I do, nothing makes the bottom line of text appear on the paper.
    Preview shows all the text, including the bottom line, and when I use the "PDF" button to "Open PDF in Preview", it shows the page with the bottom text.  But when I print the page, the bottom line is blank.
    The printer is remote, controlled by CUPs on a machine down the hall.  When I scp a PDF file to the server and print it there, it prints fine, and the bottom lines are always included. Then when I go back to my Macbook Pro and print exactly the same PDF file on the same printer, the bottom line is again missing.  This shows that it's not a problem with the printer or the server's CUPS software; it's gotta be something on my Macbook Pro that changed.
    The usual disclaimer applies:  I haven't (knowingly ;-) changed any print-related setting recently.  (We've all heard that one before, right? ;-)  Since the problem appeared, I've of course changed lots and lots of settings, trying to find something that affects the problem.  But the most recent change before this problem appeared was a couple of months ago (when another upgrade broke all remote printing, and I had to delete all the printers and reinstall them). 
    A possible clue is that, when I use Safari to load a PDF from http://localhost/..., the page shows as usual, and I get the same drop-down from CMD-P that shows a preview that has the entire page.  But when I print it, the entire page is shifted vertically so that the top title line of text is missing - and the bottom line has only its upper half, with the bottom part of all the characters missing.  Again, the blank strip at the bottom is roughly 1 cm.  Actually, a quick check with a ruler says that it's 12 mm.  But I don't know how to use this info, or how to tell Safari to fix the missing title line.  The missing bottom half of the bottom line seems to say that it's not that the PDF has something wrong that suppresses the text entirely; it would seem to say that somebody is deciding to impose a 12-mm bottom border for some unknown reason.
    Any idea where I should look to fix this problem?  Is there a relevant troubleshooting guide somewhere that I should know about?
    (It sure would be nice to have a known way to say "Just print exactly what's on the Preview page; don't try to do anything clever with it." ;-)

    That doesn't sound quite right.  Tests on the server shows that the printer (HP L7680) can in fact print up to within 3 mm of its edges.  The test pages show this, and assorted tests with "real" PDF pages in the past have verified it.  It worked from my Macbook up to a few days ago, and tests from the server show that the printer hasn't lost the ability to print close to the edges.  In fact, my wife printed a page from her iMac a while ago, and it showed stuff (images and border lines) up to about 4 mm from the edges.  It's only from my Macbook Pro that suddenly the bottom 12 mm gets blanked out. 
    Actually, I did try a test from the server with the "borderless" setting.  The software enlarged the image to be bigger than the page, for some reason that I don't understand, but the result was that the printer printed right up to the very edge of the paper; there was ink visible on the edge of the sheet.    So the idea that the printer "can't" print close to the edge is wrong.  The printer doesn't have a problem here; it's being told by some software on my Macbook Pro to blank out the bottom edge. 
    I just tried another test of this:  I told Preview on the Macbook to print the page at "Scale: 120%  ", and checked "No automatic page scaling".  Preview showed the text going off the page at the top and right edge,  The ink stopped about 3 mm from the top and right edges.  But the bottom 12 mm, including the bottom line of text, was blanked out.  This, plus the tests on the server, shows that the printer can print up to 3 mm from the edge of an 8.5x11 inch page.  And earlier tests that produced the bottom line with only the top half of the characters shows that it isn't just dropping the bottom line; Something on the Macbook is explicitly blanking out the bottom 12 mm (but not doing the same on the top and right edges.
    And whatever is doing it doesn't happen on my wife's iMac; she can print close to the bottom edge.
    I'm now wondering if I should uninstall the printer on the Macbook, and see if I can reinstall it to match the iMac's settings.    But if the problem is something in the Macbooks system libraries that's forcing the 12-mm bottom margin, that probably won't work, either, and the "Letter" paper size settings presumably come from some library file, because it won't permit me to change those numbers.
    Anyway, I'll try your suggestions, probably in the morning, and see what happens.
    About the Borderless type:  I find that when I try setting the Paper Size to "US Letter", it gives me another menu, with "US Letter" and "Borderless 8.5 x 11 in." entries.  If I choose the Borderless, it pops up a window with a warning that this is only allowed for HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, which is in what it's set to.  It says it's "not available when Paper Type is set to Plain Paper", which it won't allow me to do.  (That choice is greyed out.)  It seems odd that it would warn me that it won't work for a setting that it won't let me use anyway, and say that I must use the setting that I am using.  Anyway, I've tried this "Borderless 8.1 x 11 in." setting, and it comes out the same as the "US Letter" choice, with the bottom 12 mm blank.  Both print to nearly the top and right edge if I set the Scale to 120%.
    (And that damned "Automatically rotate each page" is checked again. ;-)

  • Preview prints empty boxes instead of text in .pdf

    Recently I noticed that when I try to print a .pdf file  from Preview, even when all the text shows on the monitor correctly, when it prints, it prints empty  boxes (outline of a box the size of the letters) where the texts should be.
    When I open the same .pdf file using Acrobat and then print it, it prints out fine.
    The printer has postscript capability and the fonts used is pretty standard (from the looks of it, Times or something like it).
    I powercycled both the printer and the print server and no difference.
    Why is this happening?
    MacOS 10.6.8
    MBP early 2011
    printer:  HP LJ 5MP vis JetDirect print server (networked on our Airport Extreme base station via ethernet)
    any insight is appreciated.

    The first thing to do is make sure there's not a problem with the disk permissions.  Below are the instructions for doing that.  Let me know what happens.
    To repair disk permissions:
    Open finder.
    Search for and open Disk Utility.
    Select the drive with the OS installed.
    Click on Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Pdf and preview printing too big

    This problem just began: When I click to print a pdf in either Adobe Reader or Preview, it prints off the page, way too big. The image is fine in the preview window. It happens identically on two printers. Gmail and google and Word docs print fine.
    I have clicked FIT and scale in the Reader program, but the result is the same. It's obvioulsy a setting, but the answer is not obvious.

    looking again, it prints badly in Chrome, Safari, pdf, preview but NOT Firefox.
    And, I was wrong about Gmail. it prints wrong from gmail, too.
