Print Front Panel to PDf file error REVISITED

"Previous subject matter dealt with Acrobat Distiller for writing PDF files I am seeking a better solution.
I have used successfully, in other programs, pdfFactory but I get the following error message when using it with Labview 7.
"Labviewrint driver error.
Unable to print. Make sure you have installed and selected a default printer."
pdfFactory is selected as the default printer. I have also selected the LaserJet as default then selected pdfFactory for a specific file write but the same message is written to the screen.
This is a nice and easy way to write to a pdf format if it can be made to work. Acrobat Writer and/or Distiller is not only more expensive it is also more cumbersome to use and apparen
tly has to be accessed through the Report Functions.
Has anybody already solved this problem on the XP operating system?

Hi
While this may not answer your question, check Jack Hamilton web site at:
Lab-Useful: LabVIEW& Tips, Tricks and Downloads
He has a Print to PDF.llb that: "Allows you to programmatically control the destination and filename for PDF printing in LabVIEW. You must use the report functions to print and have Adobe Acrobat writer installed on the machine - PDF writer does NOT need to be the default printer"
Eventhough it was made for LabVIEW 6.1 and Tested on Windows 2000 Professional, you might be able to figure out what's not working on your system by looking at Jack llb.

RE: Print a front panel in a file

Use a pdf printer driver and use this along with the print on completion
setting for the VI that you want to print to file.
This is great for reports.

I'm not aware of a single vi that can do this. The way I've done this is to use combination of vi's described under Help in "report generation vis and function" located under "vi and function reference."

Print a front panel in a file

I would like to know if there is any function or other way to print a front panel in a file (a picture file or a print file) in execution mode.
thanks

You can use the Get Panel Image method. Place an Invoke node in your diagram, select VI as Vi Server Class and choose Get Panel Image as the method invoked.
You can also choose if you want to copy the visible area only or the entire panel.
Hope this helps.

Problem Printing Front Panel

I'm having a problem printing the front panel of a particular VI. When I set the print option to Standard Printing the printer prints nothing. When set to Bitmap Printing it works, but it's not the type of printout that I want. In both cases the Print Preview appears the same. Also, all my other VI's print in Standard Printing mode with no problems.
I've read other posts indicating that the cause may be that the VI is sending a print code to the printer telling it not to print. How can I determine if this is the case? If it is the case, how do I fix it? This VI's front panel has nothing special about it relative to other VI's that print correctly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it happens using the menu, then it's not that your code sends a "do not print" action to the printer.
Try copying front panel items, one or two at a time, from your wonky VI to a new VI, and print the new VI after every move.
Maybe you can find one item that causes it.
If you're on a Mac, print it to a PDF file, and see if that's OK. If you're on Windows, you can use Print2PDF or something similar to act like a printer and show you what the printout would be.

An easy way is to use the ITextSharp toolkit, you can download it from the following link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10952.
Here is an application example an the resulting pdf.

'failed to open the PDF file' error - Indesign CS3 on Mac

Hi,
Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

Thanks for the reminder, Scott.

Adobe Acrobat 9 - Print certain webpage as PDF file but some of its contents were corrupted

Print certain webpage as PDF file but some of its contents were corrupted as non-readable alphanumeric.
Preview of the PDF file shown OK but when printed, its contents were corrupted.
Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional reinstalled but problem persists.

It is Acrobat printing to a PDF file using Acrobat 9 Professional because I have no printer attached.
The preview before printing showed every words OK but when printed to the PDF file, some alphabets and numerics were corrupted and the words were NOT readable.

Printing Word document as pdf files whilst retaining active internal links

Hi,
I have a Word file (Word 2004 for Mac Version 11.3.5) with active links to various sections within the document.
However, when I print this as a pdf file all the links become inactive. Is anyone aware of a way to prevent this?
Kind regards,
Damon

I tested this problem and got some interesting results. First of all, I created a document in Word 2004 (11.3.5) with two links, one to an external web site and the other to another Word document on my Mac. I then printed the file to pdf and opened the doc in Preview. Neither links were active, although as you have seen they look like a hyperlink. Opening the same document in Acrobat 8, the external link works but the internal link is still not active.
Next, I printed the Word document via the Adobe PDF 8.0 driver. The same result occured as above. The external link was active in Acrobat but not Preview, while the internal link was no good for either application.
I did some searching. Mactopia has no mention of this problem. There is a posting on Macosxhints with the same problem, but no fix. So unless someone else out there has an answer you may be out of luck for your internal link...

Printing web page to pdf file using Acrobat Standard 9

Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

I do have Internet Explorer 9 and I was able to print web pages correctly following your suggestions.
Thanks for your help.

There were problems with IE9 on it's initial release and that may be what you are seeing if that is the browser (you did not indicate the browser and that may be a key). If you have a different browser you might try that one with the same pages to see if it browser related.
By saying garbled it sounds like the fonts did not make it or you have selected "Use Local Fonts" in Acrobat. Try checking the latter first. Then check if the fonts are embedded in the PDF by checking the document properties (ctrl-D). If they are not, go back to the browser and select the press or print job options before printing and see if they get embedded and if your problem is resolved.

Need to print Xcelsius dashboard to pdf file

I have a customer that wants to be able to print a displayed dashboard to a pdf file. Does anyone know if there are custom components that can do this or be created to do this? We have suggested they install a print to pdf utility as a selectable printer but they don't want to do that. When a dashboard is displayed they want to be able to print directly to a pdf file.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Pizzaman,
I will mention this to the team. I don't think our customer would want it that way but who knows. Currently they have a Flex framework with our dashboards inside of their framework. They have a print to pdf button for their flex scorecard and feel it should be easy enough for us to create the same thing in our dashboards. We don't use flex in our environment. Their flex stuff is on their servers and our dashboards are on our servers. We may be moving everything to our side of the house soon so a lot of things might change. When I tried to test our dashboards as exported to pdf I ran into security problems with some Adobe parts of the whole thing. We have a lot of Adobe stuff locked down because of security concerns. Being a defense contractor that's a way of life.
