Print a PDF form in a matricial printer

Hi. First, sorry if my english is not very good (i'm from Spain). :)
I have a PDF with a form (make with LiveCycle Designer 8.0 included in Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0) and i fill it with ASPPDF Component (www.asppdf.com) via ASP webpage.
All works perfect.
I print the generated PDF in a laser printer and all look fine... but... if i print the same PDF in a EPSON LQ-300+II Matricial Printer some of the characters are cut. (other documents with the same typeface works ok).
If i print the form with LiveCycle... works fine. I only have problem with the PDF in Adobe PDF Pro or Adobe PDF Reader.
Any idea???
Thanks a lot!

Bonjour je m'excuse beaucoup pour poster dans un premier temps en anglais. Je ne savais pas que c'était possible en français.
Voici mon problème: J'ai une imprimante matricielle de type EPSON LX-350 et je souhaite imprimer des fichier PDF (Adobe reader). Mais la police qu'elle sorte est différente de celle attendue après impression et pourtant avec un fichier Word ou Excel je n'ai pas ce problème de format de police. Alors la question est: est t-il possible d'imprimer sans probléme avec une imprimante matricielle un fichier PDF si oui qu'est comment doit procéder. Existe t'il quelqu'un qui l'a déja essayer et avec quelle marque d'imprimante.
Merci de votre disponibilité.

Printing PDF forms to an impact printer

Greetings,
I hope I've found the correct forum for this question.
We are having difficulty printing PDF forms to an impact printer. We are required by regulations to print to multi-part forms from our GTS landscape, which is going live soon. Since Adobe is the direction SAP is headed with forms, we have been utilizing ADS. However, the need for impact printing has presented a problem. Has anyone utilized PDF printing to an impact printer? I'll list some details in case it will help.
Printer: Lexmark Forms Printer 2590
Backend Print Solution: HP Output Server on AIX
SAP GTS: NetWeaver 7.0 SP17 w/ SLL-LEG 720 SP7
Our printer has printer languages of Epson Emulation and Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). Neither of these are included in the standard device types for PDF as specified in OSS Note 685571. I do not see an appropriate XDC file to copy and modify.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a resolution?
Many thanks for your assistance.
Wesley Tollett

the PortName should be changed accordingly.
if you are using printer port , commonly lpt1, you should change it to lpt1
ur command line could work , i think
i've tried it locally in my machine, it works fine.

How to make a PDF form call Web service and return a static pdf for user to print?

Hi all,
Can anyone help me regarding the feasibility of using PDF forms for my following case?
I would like to create a Dynamic pdf form. User only have the Acrobat reader. they can enter some information. Then have a submit button. when user click the submit button, it can call the web service with data. then Web service returns a Static PDF document based on data and the user can print it out. (and maybe save as separate pdf file)
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Thanks a lot

We have done a similar approach in the past and yes, it can be doable.
1. Is that possible to implement? Because I know PDF can call web service, but dont know how it handle when the webservice returns another static PDF document. could it able to handle the responds and open up in another acrobat reader?
Srini: We have developed a Servlet to talk to Webservice. Based on the Webservice response, the Servlet, prepares the Byte stream and sends it to Webbrowser to display as a PDF. The PDF data was submitted to Servlet in XML format.
But if you do not want to use the above approach, then you have to use the Workbench Process.
Submit the PDF data to a Workbench process and the inside process, execute Webservice Service with the data. Once the response is received, prepare the data XML and render a PDF with it.
To do this, you need LiveCycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
2. As I understand I need to have Live Cycle Designer to create a pdf and make it Reader Enabled. So user can user reader to call webservice? am I correct?
Srini: If you want to use the Servlet, you can Reader extend the PDF with Acrobat.. But if you want to submit the data directly to Webservice, then you need Reader Extensions server component.
3. What minimum reader that user need to have? PDF reader 7 or above?
Srini: Not sure but Reader 8 and above should work.
4. I have a webservice serve the same purpose for web. But if I want the same web services can serve both web and PDF form. So, whatever client (PDF or Web)make the web service call, server returns the PDF document to client. Is that possible ? Do I need to make any changes on web service?
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, then you can re-use the same webservice. But if you want to submit directly to the same webservice, you may need to change it to suit your data XML.
5. Do I need to get any other Adobe server product? (other than Live Cycle Designer )
Srini: If you use the Servlet approach, you do not need any server component but other approach, you need Livecycle Server and Reader Extensions server component.
Thanks

I filled in a fillable pdf form and when i print it, the text in the fillable section gets cut off.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Is it possible to designate stapling when printing a PDF form?

I am using Adobe Lifecycle Designer (ver. 10.0.1029120306.1.870331) to set up a new report for an SAP application. I can certainly designate duplex printing from within the form by using Form Properties and the PDF Print Options, but no stapling option can be found. Is this possible? Is there a way to set this up from within the PDF form? If not within the form, what have others found to work for their environment? We are using Xerox GPD PS printers here and they certainly offer the stapling feature.
Thanks for any suggestions...Pat

OK...it has been a wild ride, but between our Basis team and the Server team (which handles our printer drivers), here is what they came up with to enable this feature. They really put in the time to figure this out. References to PRD in this document is a reference to our production machine. ZPMLOCL is a printer type used by our users for printing these work order forms. A lot of effort was also given to make sure the driver on the printer supported the stapling feature (most do anymore). This effort is to not only allow stapling, but to also eliminate the pesky banner page which can suddenly start printing with these changes. We are using Xerox printers in our evironment.
Steps for Basis Portion of PRD change on the - Standard Work Order Form - shop paper document
(STMS) Transport device type ZPMHPLJ4 to PRD with Transport
SPAD
Change device type of printer ZPMLOCL from SAPWIN to ZPMHPLJ4.
Click on access method tab and change access method to G: (Front End Printing with Control Tech).
Confirm the "No device Selection at frontend" checkbox is selected.
Hit the Save button.
Copy zpmhppcl5e.xdc file from AD1 to ADS, in the location below.
4. SA38/SE38* run program RSPO0022 on PRD and Check to see if transport from step 1 moves the assignment below.
If not create assignment the same as in the red box below.
5. Finally, stop and then start the XML Form Module Java Service in ADS.
I have no other notes on this setup. I hope this helps you in your efforts to get the stapling feature up and running on your system.

How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?

Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot. I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting. Window XP and Vista on my computers. I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem. thank you

Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum).

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form?

How do I set up a .pdf form to save filled data without having to print the form? I have provided my clients a lifecycle .pdf form they can use to record data for unique client meetings. They want the ability to save their completed data whenever they use the form under a unique file name. I've told them the only way I know how to do this is to print the completed form as a .pdf document and then save it.
Is their a way to save the data to a unique file name without printing the filled form?
Is there a way to reset the form with blank fields after saving? or to add a clear fields button?
Thanks.

If you reader extend a pdf using livecycle reader extensions then you can save the filled in data - this is true if you are using Adobe reader to view the PDF's. If you open it in Acrobat then the functionality is already there.

Print Footer Window of PO Form at end of Last Page of PDF Forms(Adobe)

Hi,
I am trying to print PO form using PDF form which includes multiple line items. At the end of last page I am trying to print the footer window that contains Comments and Signature.
Right now my Footer Window is being printed immediately after the end of line items.
I have included the Comments text box and image inside a Sub Form.
Please let me know how to print the Footer window at the end of the page instead of printing immediately after the line items.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please take the footer subform from the tables section and position it on the page where u want to print and write the script so that it will print only on last page.

I Created a pdf form in Adobe Acrobat X. Adobe Reader cannont print or save it?

I work for a foodservice company with different locations. Each location has Adobe Reader. I created a pdf form for each site to fill out, save and print for postings ect... They keep getting a printing error. "The document could not be printed" after that it says "No pages selected to print". They also are not allowed to save the file??? I want them to be able to print and save copies. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I do not see a "Enable protected mode at startup" anywhere...
You need to disable that preference in the individual users versions on Reader, not your version of Acrobat.

and how do you enable the forms to be saved by reader in acrobat?
To enable forms in Acrobat XI go to File>Save as other>Reader Extended PDF...

Printing PDF form with information as PDF document

I've recently filled out a PDF form application with various information. I went to save this as a PDF file in Adobe Reader for my records but this is not supported. I was only able to print out a hard copy. Is there any other program or routine that supports printing a filled-out PDF form to a PDF file?
In a Windows environment there were a number of 3rd party programs that could do this. For some reason this option is blocked under OS X native PDF print routine. Thank you for any insights.

Click "print", and in the confirmation dialogue, select "Print as PDF". This will save what would have been printed as hard-copy as a PDF file.

Saving PDF form on Mac prevents viewing and printing by another viewer

We run a student competition which is affiliated with a national competition. The national competition provides a set of forms that must be filled out by the students, teachers, etc. We have a process set up whereby students can download a PDF form (which is enabled by the authors for saving from Reader). They are supposed to fill out this form (actually several of them), and then save the file(s) to their drive. Once they have the forms filled out and approved by their teacher, they upload them to our website via a standard web form, which simply saves the uploaded PDF for later viewing by the student, teachers, judges, and committee members. When students do this using Adobe Reader on a PC, it works fine. (I'm not sure if Reader X works, actually, but I know Reader 9 does). The problem, though, comes up with Mac users. When they do the same thing, it seems to override the extended rights in the document, resulting in a document saved on their disk that displays with all the fields initially unviewable (that is they all appear blank). If you click on one of the fields, you can view the fields one at a time. Each field appears and disappears as you move thru the document. But we can't simply read the form, nor can we print a copy (which is necessary if the student wins and proceeds to the national competition.) This is true if the form is uploaded or emailed or transported by USB drive--it is simply a property of the saved file. In our testing, this appears to be a generic property of forms processed on a Mac--and we haven't found a way around it. Is there any way for a student who has filled out a form on a Mac to save the form while PRESERVING the extended rights? Or do we just have to tell them that Macs don't work right? If there is a way for them to do this, I could provide the instructions on the page that delivers the forms. But we've tried to explore the Mac interface (inside Safari and in the PDF viewer that is provided on the Mac systems) and can't find any place that gives options that seem to affect the extended rights. Help!

There's an easy way around it. Make sure they are using Adobe Reader to fill in the form. 99% of these cases are because they are using the Mac Preview application to open PDF's and it will corrupt Adobe forms.

Cannot save, cannot print PDF form in Adobe Reader 9

I downloaded a PDF form for an application from the internet. It opened in Adobe Reader 9, where I was able to fill out information in the PDF. Some areas required a scroll bar for long lists of information. Now, I cannot save the PDF or else all of my information disappears!! I cannot print the PDF, because all of the information is not immediately visible, due to scroll bars. It only prints what is immediately visible.
I need help - I cannot save, print, or exit out of this form that I have filled out multiple times at this point from attempts to Save.

What means "cannot"; what happens when you try?

HT2506 I am trying to fill out a PDF form from an internet site, but when I go to print it, none of the content prints, only the header of the document. Help!

Instead of printing it, try saving it as a pdf from the print menu, and then printing the pdf out.
