Print Booklet suddenly not working properly

I am working with InDesign CS3 in OS X 10.5. Up until this week, the Print Booklet function always worked fine for me (I only use it for generating PDFs with printer spreads). Now, however, files that printed properly in the past are generating PDFs of the wrong page size and orientation, and sometimes with the wrong scaling as well. The previews in Print Booklet still look fine, but the PDFs generated are not.
One thing that stands out in particular is that, in the past, I could take care of all the settings in the Print Settings dialogue box - printer, page size, orientation, etc. Now, if I want the right page size, I have to go into the Page Setup box and choose the page size from there. If I am dealing with an uncommon page size (which can easily be set in the Print Settings box), the Page Setup box does not have that option (or it requires establishing a new custom page size). Furthermore, even when I can get the right page size, the page orientation in the resulting PDF is wrong and the pages need to be rotated, where they didn't before.
It seems like the problem may have something to do with InDesign's communication with the Adobe PDF printer. This same week, I found that the software for my normal paper printer could not communicate with the printer, and I had to reinstall the printer driver, which took care of the problem. Maybe there is something similar I need to do here, with regards to the Adobe PDF printer driver? Or, perhaps there is a system file that might be missing or needs to be deleted and replaced? Please help - thanks!

You updated to 10.5.5 didn't you? This is a problem with a CUPS file which has been discussed on the forums. Basically replacing the 10.5.5 version with one from 10.5.4 will fix the problem. See also this

  • Tecra M5: finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard

    My finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard. When booting up, it automatically "fails" 5 times in a row (without any attempts to swipe a finger), then defaults to password entry to boot the machine's hard drive.
    This is not a problem and all i want to do is disable the finger print sensor, but cannot work out how to do this. I've tried uninstalling the driver, which I seemed to do without any problems, but when rebooting, the sensor still seems active, and still goes through the same process.
    Everything else works fine and this is just a minor niggle, but I'd like to remove the annoyance of it beeping at me 5 times while it does its thing!
    Can anyone tell me how I completely disable it?
    Thank you.

    Have you removed the fingerprint software? If yes check if in device manager is listed some unknown device. Please post the result.
    Maybe you can try to disable this unknown device and it will not be recognized as new hardware every time when you start the notebook.

  • Printing via Network USB print server suddenly not working any more

    I have always been able to print with my USB
    printers connected through a small, pocket-sized Keyspan USB Print server, Model US-4A, very easily and seamlessly, - until the very latest update to Snow Leopard.
    This server is connected to my router and the rest of my in-home Mac network by means of an ethernet port, and it has four USB device ports, 1 each for my various printers and a flatbed scanner. It worked well under OS 10.6 until just now.
    Now, all of a sudden, though the server hardware can still easily "see" and connect to
    the printers, when I actually hit 'PRINT', then the Mac OS
    print dialogues are showing some of the printers as "offline." They show up as 'unavailable' in the dialogue where you choose which printer to print to and the print dialogue boxes show the print jobs cused but then report - 'printer offline'
    When I bypass the print server - and connect the same
    printers directly to the Mac's USB ports, they print fine.
    It suits my setup to be able to continue printing via the print server, however, and I am wondering what sort of new issue could now begin fooling the MAC OS into thinking printers are not connected when it has had no trouble with the same print server and exactly the same physical connections previously ?
    I've already tried 'deleting' and uninstalling the printers and then reinstalling, and this attempted fix does not work.
    Any suggestions here ? Is this a known issue with 10.6.3 ?
    What has happened to suddenly bring this about ? Any ideas ?

    It appears that 10.6.4 has essentially broken the US-4A usb server. Keyspan's (now Tripp-Lite) response is that the latest driver is for 10.5.x and Snow-Leopard is still not supported. (1 year after 10.6.0 was released to the public). In fact, their response is that they do not even know if they will continue to produce the US-4A. Note that the U2S-2A (2 port USB 2.0) server does not support 10.6 either. Shame on Tripp-Lite for continuing to advertise, and sell a product that does not work with the current version of OS X.

  • Several applications suddenly not working properly at once

    Hi,
    I've run into some quite big problems with my 2009 13" MBP (8gb ram, 2.26 GHz).
    Today I noticed Safari wouldn't connect to websites that used the HTTPS protocol; I would just get a screen saying "Safari can't create a secure connection...." or something like that. Normal websites work fine. Then I noticed the iTunes store didn't work (probably because of the same problem that's causing secure websites not to work)
    But then it gets weird: iTunes also gives me several error messages about it not being able to save the library file (error code -50 if I remember correctly). And while this is all happening Disk Utility won't open either, it just bounces on the dock.
    These are the problems I've run into at the moment, but I have a feeling more applications won't work either.
    The weird thing is all of the problems start acting up at the exact same time, without any particular trigger that I've noticed.
    When I restart my Mac everything goes back to normal: I can visit secure websites, I can open Disk Utility and fix permissions etc etc. But after half an hour or so the same problems come back.
    I've tried to repair Disk Permissions, reset Safari and restarted the MBP several times, but nothing works. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with the MBP except for installing a Java update a few days ago. I thought that might be the cause and deleted Java completely, but still no luck; the same problems still persist.
    I couldn't find any similar problems on Google, and I really need help. Safari not visiting secure websites is a real pain, since Facebook, Google etc etc all use https.

    I could finally get Siri to recognize my apps and launch them again with the following couple of troubleshooting activities.
    Step 1.  go to Settings -> general -> siri -> disable Siri.  Then shut phone down and after restart re enable Siri.
    Step 2.  go to Settings  general -> reset -> reset network settings.
    Step 1 didn't work for me but it still a good troubleshooting activity and may solve other Siri related problems.
    as far as step 2 goes,  as soon as i reset the network settings on my phone, SIRI started working properly again. I am glad it worked and didn't have to restore my phone or do some more complex tasks.
    Hope this helps some one else.

  • 30 pin lightning converter suddenly not working properly in my car

    I have a Hyundai Veracruz that has the Hyundai cord that you plug into your phone and can play music/podcasts through the speakers while charging the phone.  Of course, when I traded in my iphone 4s for the 5s a few weeks back, I had the problem that the Hyundai cord was compatible with the 30 pin plug.  I ended up getting the lighning to 30 pin adapter (not the one with the cord, the regular little one.  I tried the corded lighting to 30 pin adapter first because of the issue with the regular lightning to 30 pin adapter not working if an iphone is in its case, but that product didn't work at all).  Anyway, it had been working totally fine-- recognizing the iphone as soon as I plugged it in, playing my music through the speakers, charging it, allowing me to use the controls on my steering wheel to skip songs if I wanted-- until this morning. When I plugged it in this morning, my radio didn't turn on automatically like it always has before.  Instead, when I turned it on manually and went to the auxilary mode it just says connected instead of ipod detected or whatever it used to say.  The good news is that it still plays through the speakers and charges, but I can't use the controls on the steering wheel and clearly something is wrong.  Any ideas?

  • Motion 3 suddenly not working properly

    I have Motion 3 on a Mac Pro, and everything has been running JUST FINE until today.
    When I booted up Motion today, I noticed problems:
    1. The Utility window won't open
    2. I cannot add any Behaviors. When I hit the Behavior button, absolutely nothing happens
    3. I cannot add any Filters. When I hit the Filter button, absolutely nothing happens
    4. When I try to open the app to a new project, no new project is automatically created
    Other parts of the app seem to work fine. When I hit the button to add a new camera or bring up the HUD or something similar, it does that just fine. Its just those 4 things it won't do.
    One thing I did try doing was drag the Motion app to the trash and used Time Machine to retrieve the app from a few days ago (when it was working properly), but that doesn't help at all.

  • Sharing suddenly not working properly

    Hi,
    I have been sharing itunes on my imac with both an iphone 4 & ipad 2 for ages, all going smoothly.
    Suddenly, about a month ago, both devices started to show only a handful of the artists and albums
    whilst the actual songs individually are all shared. So on the song tab, all 4179 songs are listed, but
    only 4 artists in the artist tab, and 75 albums in the album tab.
    Have tried closing/re-starting, home sharing on/off etc. but nothing works.
    The only non standard thing in my set up is that I have all the itunes media stored on an external drive.
    Dont think this can be the issue though, as its been set up that way for about a year with no issues.
    Would appreciate any ideas out there as to what is going on, and even how to fix.
    Thanks.
    My Specs:
    Quite old white plastic imac
    2.16 GHz Core 2
    1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    250 GB - 75 used
    iTunes 10.7 (21)
    iphone 4
    ipad 2
    External Drive - Samsung Story - 1 TB - 380 GB used
    Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

    FYI - I spoke to Apple support earlier and this is still not an acknowledged issue. Ergo, no one is looking into it.
    They have 'offered' to call me back when at home to go over my setup that was working fine in IOS5 but not IOS6 as the setup MUST be the issue. Not sure if I made things worse by pointing out that I'm and IT consultant and have worked with Apple systems for more years than I'd care to admit to.....
    The support tech I spoke said that her home sharing works fine. Hmmmmm.
    I'd suggest that EVERYONE puts in for a support callback (you can go through the iPad option and chose the 'I should get an exception for updating to ios6' option) and get them working.

  • Why are videos taken with a 4S suddenly not working properly when sent to non iphone users since the update?

    Suddenly non I-Phone users cannot view videos anymore, they can hear the sound, but no audio.  Iphone users are having issues viewing the videos too.  This all started with the 6.0 update.  Please fix it or tell me how to restore my phone back to the previous update, it is quite annoying.

    Hello VintageShaay,
    It sounds like you are getting some audio issues with the included Ear Buds when they are plugged in. I wanted to recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named:
    Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
    3. Disconnect and Restart
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible. Restart iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by turning it off and then back on. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect the accessory.
    4. Isolate
    Isolate the issue to the accessory, if possible. Or, if available, try to reproduce the issue with another identical or similar accessory.
    Examples:
    If there is static coming from the left audio channel when using headphones, try connecting the headphones to a stereo, or try connecting a different set of headphones to the device.
    If the device is not syncing when connected to the dock, try connecting it directly to the computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or try another USB port.
    6. Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    Also if that does not resolve the issue, try the steps from the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • IPad display suddenly not working properly.

    iPad 1 is about 6 months old. All of a sudden, display is displaying colors incorrectly.

  • I have an HP photosmart c4580 printer that is not working properly.

    It will only print half the page and sends an error to the print queue. When I troubleshoot it reports that the problem has been fixed of a "print job in the print queue was preventing other print jobs from being done". I can print a test page with no problem but as soon as I print anything else only half will print. I use windows 7 and Firefox .... can someone help?

  • HP computer will not work properly with an HP printer

    I have the following two items that I am trying to use together:
     - HP 23" TouchSmart Desktop, T6500 2.1GHz 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD (Windows 7)
     - HP OfficeJet 6500 Multi-Function Printer/Scanner/Fax
    When I try to scan to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0, the document goes through the scanner, however the dialog box that I would expect (e.g. "Next Page" or "Done") never shows up.  At this point, the system is unresponsive with respect to Adobe or the printer.
    I suspect that it is waiting for the input from the dialog box that never showed up.  I tried to move the other windows to see if the dialog opened in the background, however I am not able to select any of them (they remain frozen).
    I contacted HP Support, only to have them tell me it must be the driver, and I have an "old" printer.  (I did not realize that a 9 month old printer was considered "old").  I have tried all of the possible drivers that are available (original disk, downloads, other downloads from HP tech support), none of these resolves the problem.
    In any case, they were unable to resolve the problem of having an HP computer work properly with an HP printer.  (The printing function seems to work, just very slowly).
    Has anyone else heard of this?  Is there a resolution?

    Update: I am still looking for a solution to this problem - the scanning portion of the Multi-function OfficeJet 6500 does not work properly with the HP TouchSmart computer.
    I have not been able to find anyone in HP that can tell me when (or if) new drivers will be released for this printer.
    I decided to investigate upgrading to a newer version of printer since HP told me the 9 month old printer I have was "obsolete", only to find that the identical printer is still on sale in many stores.  Hmmm....
    I feel like I am getting the run-around from HP.
    I have since tried several more driver/software combinations, but every time I have the same problem (as described in the previous post).
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be most happy to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

    Thanks for that information!
    I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
    In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
    When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
    Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!
