Print Adobe PDF problem: Device type related?

Hi,
we have developed a number of adobe print forms and we face a problem. The problem is that not all types of printers can directly print (without first preview the pdf) the form.
We are using an output device with device type post2 (pdf1 works for some printers too) and access method F (Printing on Frontend computer) , but some printers work perfectly and others instead of the form, print out some postscript (or print) commands.
We can as well change our printers and get some postscipt printers but the problem is that we want to give access and print the forms some of our partners who logon to our system via VPN and we cannot "force" them to buy new printers.
Do you have any suggestion for this problem?
Thanx in advance
Kostas

the ABAP Backend is sending a ADS-document in an XML format to the ADS Server (JAVA), the ADS returns a "Parts" for the forms. A "parts" consist of an PDF file and a print file (PostScript, PCL or ZPL), which are placed in the Global Directory. All the conversion should take place within the ADS Server.
This "Parts" are then send as a PDF to the SAP Spooler.
For the printing of this PDF document in the SAP Spool System one of the Device types (POST2, HPLJ4, HP9500, PDF1, AZPL203, AZPL300) is taken into account which send the actual PDF to a physical printer.
What you see in SP01 are the "parts" of an ADS-document.
Report RSPO0020 (for troubleshooting ADS printing issues) is displaying the "Parts", send back from ADS to the backend System
The XDC file is the printer description in XML format, which the Adobe Document Services requires in order to create the "Parts" file. PDF documents can only be printed on printers of SAP device types for which there is an XDC file on the Adobe Document Server. Report RSPO0022 can be used to manage the mapping between the printer device type and the XDC file

I cannot print adobe pdf documents as it is password protected. I forgot my password. How do I fix this problem?

I cannot print adobe pdf documents. Password protected. How do I fix this problem?

You'll need to remember it or recreate the PDF from the original file.
If there were an easy way to get around that, passwords wouldn't be worth much.

Printing Adobe PDF files through Airport Extreme

I am trying to print Adobe PDF files to my HP5900 through an Airport Extreme. I can print other types of files (ai, eps, qxd) but i am unable to print PDF files. When i hit "print" the rainbow wheel starts spinning and it just gets stuck forcing me to force quit. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have ideas for a solution? Thanks

Have you tried printing the PDF from more than one application (just to eliminate the possibility of an application problem)?

Print Adobe PDF: Choose file save location

Currently, when I select Print, then select Printer: Adobe PDF 9.0, and press Print, the PDF file is saved to my Desktop. Where is the preference setting to save the PDF file somewhere of my choosing?

Thanks Lady Designer, your method works. However, it's too many steps for what I'll need to do. I have approximately 200 e-mail messages to print to file. It'd be much faster to select a message, Command+P, Enter, and continue with the next message. Your method requires the additional steps of clicking on the PDF button and selecting Save As PDF.
You're probably thinking, "Why doesn't he just select all the messages and print once?" I tried that.
When I choose to the PDF button and Save As PDF, no matter how many multiple messages I choose, only one of the messages turns into a PDF file. The other messages, despite being (apparently) processed, do not become PDF files. In fact, they become nothing; I know what happens to them.
When I choose to print using Adobe PDF 9.0 as my printer, I'm not given the opportunity to select a destination for multiple files; they automatically print to the Desktop. All the messages, however, do become PDF files.
Unless there's a way to select a file destination to which the Adobe PDF 9.0 printer can default, my choices are to either print-to-file each message one at a time; or print all the messages at once with the one method that works, but that will flood my Desktop with a couple hundred file icons. Although the mess lasts as long as it would take to gather the files into a new folder, I prefer to save myself the trouble.

Printer ADOBE PDF 9.0 - page orientation

After uninstalling Adobe Acrobat 8 it occures that the remained Acrobat 9 messages on start to need to fix some missing components. I clicked okay/yes.
However, now I can't print to ADOBE PDF 9.0 in landscape orientation. All pages come out turned to portrait format. I used to use settings created in InDesign successfully, there is no page format setting at all (compared to Distiller settings). I tried various settings and printed from various applications.
Then I deletetd the printer ADOBE PDF 9.0 and created it new. (in use now: Adobe PDF 3018.101; URL: pdf900://distiller).
After some other trials now it prints fine from some but still turned around from other applications.
What can I do, to get printed PDFs in selected page orientation only?
Any hints appretiated! Thank you, - thomas

Of cause I do set up the page to landscape before printing. In all applications it's the same procedure: usual visually by clicking on a portrait or landscape page icon, whereas in some applications the shown measurement next to the print preview icon does not change it does in others (from 21 cm x 29,7 cm to 29,7 cm x 21 cm). That's sort of just GUI I guess, not my print issues origin.
However, this issue aperas to came with uninstalling Acrobat 8. Assumly some part got lost/corrupt (and made Acrobat 9 complain about missing components on start) - but which indeed? And how to replace?
I'd like to avoid a reinstall for the moment, cause I remeber this behave in earlier, ancient times with Updates from version 5, 6 or 7. Pity, I can't remember how I solved it, may be I did not at all until version 8, don't know anymore. But I do remember I did quite a lot of reinstalls without success in this print with ADOBE PDF paper orientation issue.

Incorrectly functions the printer "Adobe PDF" At All Adobe Acrobat

Why, at the print of file PDF by means of printer "Adobe PDF", bookmarks vanish?

They have never been included in the printer. It takes a fair amount of extra coding that in the past was done with PDF Marks. The PDF Maker before AA9 had a preprocessor that added the PDF Marks to provide the functionality you want. As for the printer, it gives the same thing you get as if you print to paper. Paper doesn't have the bookmarks either.

Printing problem: device type?driver?

Hello friends.
There is a Smartfrom "Transfer Order label" that contains some plain text and also bar code (new bar code technology). Printers Epson LQ-1900KII are used.
While printing if the user selects LOCL printer (of device type SAPWIN, frontend printer), then in frontend, in Windows selects the proper "LQ-1900KII", the Label is printed correctly with bar code. So phisycally the printer can print the label correctly.
Now we need to create in SAP logical printer, that is assigned directly to the proper "LQ-1900KII". I tried the standard epson device type 'EPESCP', but it supplies only several font-sizes and doesn't supply new bar codes. So the label is printed, but the size of characters is incorrect and the bar code is not printed at all.
Do you have any ideas regarding which device type can I use? Or if I need to create a new one, than with wich driver?
Thank you.

Print/Create Adobe pdf problems

I have always been able to create a pdf of any page that I was viewing on the web or on Microsoft word. I tried it again today and I am getting an error message. I print the page and select the Adobe pdf as the printer. Normally, it would ask me to rename it and to select the location I would like it saved. I am now getting a message saying "Invalid Adobe pdf printer properties, Do not change spooler settings. Please select Print directly to the printer option from the Advanced window." I never changed my options so I am not sure why this would pop up suddenly. I even try to change the setting like the message said but this ends up doing nothing but giving me an error message by the printer icon on the bottom of my screen. What can I do?

If you get this:
Invalid "Adobe PDF" printer properties
Do not change spooler settings.
Please select "print directly to the printer" option (from Adobe PDF printer properties "advanced" tab)
Try this:
Find the Acrobat printer in Printers.
Right click on it and select Properties then the Advanced Tab.
For me, "Spool print documents..." was selected.
The Fix: Deselect "Enable advanced printing features".
Click OK.

Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro Print to PDF problem

We are trying to us the print to PDF method of PDF creation. In the past you were able to select the PDF job options from under the apple print menu and in the PDF options section. When used under Illustrator or Indesign this would also allow you to choose a save location and name for the pdf file.
We've been using CS1 and are moving to CS3. After a clean install on a test system that Submenu is now gone. Anyone have any ideas? I can have the users manual set the options in Acrobat Distiller first but this seems to make the PDF printer rather useless.

Some additional info
This is on a PPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 with latest patches. Previously install was Adobe CS1. Removed the Adobe PDF printer, PPD Plugin and PPD file prior to instal. Also removed the Version Cue 1 preference pane and preferences via Adobes Manaul removal script.

Printing to Adobe PDF problem

CS3 suite installed on Windows XP. When trying to print to PDF, I get the following:
If I reboot the computer, it will fix itself and run fine for a few days, and then I get the message again. I have tried "repairing" the installation via the Windows Control Panel, but it doesn't seem to fix it. I don't get this problem on my Laptop installation of the same software using Windows 7. Does anyone have a clue? Everything else within the CS3 platform seems to work ok.

Perhaps so,e Acrobat update messes with this, but well, at that point Win XP is dead as in really dead, so anything is possible.

Recently bought new printer. All works fine with one OSX user. However, cannot print anything on other OSX user, including cannot print Adobe PDFs or to new printer. Puzzling!

computer = Mac PowerPC G5
OS = 10.4.11
Adobe Acrobat 7
HP laserjet M1212nf
I recently bought a new HP printer. I was on an admin user when I installed it. All works fine with this admin account/user. I can print to the HP, print to Adobe PDFs.
However, when I then go over to another user account, I cannot print *anything*. I cannot print to Adobe PDF, cannot print to the new HP. If I try to print an excel file, it says "cannot communicate with the printer" along with some useless suggestions. If I try to print a page on FireFox, nothing happens. That is, sure I get the usual dialog box, click the appropriate choice of printer, click the number of copies, then click the OK button ... and nothing happens. No pdf process is started. Nothing is sent to the HP printer.
The fact that both printer options are not working suggests it is some kind of OS problem, not specific to either printer "device".
Any assistance is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a bit leery of trying that. I would think that if the driver was not installed, then none of my users could use the printer. However, both admin users can use the new printer. The list of available printers is:
Adobe PDF 7.0
New HP Printer
I also used to have Old HP Printer, which I removed. Before, Users A, B and C could use both the Adobe PDF and the Old HP printers. Then, after I added the New HP Printer, it showed up in the list of printers for all three users. However, after I added the new printer, only the two admin accounts, users A and C, can actually print anything. Both users A and C can use the Adobe PDF printer AND the New HP Printer. But I get error messages with user B, for both the Adobe PDF printer and the New HP Printer.

Hp LaserJet 4050n won't print Adobe PDF Files

I have a new Computer with Adobe Reader 8.1 with Windows XP Home. I have a HP 4050n LaserJet printer. I received two Adobe Pdf files in a email today. My first attempt to print them gave me the following error message:
PCL XL error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: ILLegalTag
Operator: 0x1
Position: 11005
I then downloaded the latest HP drivers for XP, PCL 6 and it didn't work.
I next downloaded HP driver 4050n 5e.
The first pdf file printed just fine. The Second one printed with letters and symbols running through out the page.
Can anybody tell me how to solve the problem? Is there a special driver needed for my 4050n printer? Am I using the right version of Adobe?
Thanks,
John

I uninstall the HP5e driver and stayed with the Pcl 6 driver. In order to get the pdf files to print I had to go to advance and select images without a back round. Then the file printed out. Seems like a
waste of my time.
