Print page range set thro Javascript issue in Acrobat 8.0

Hi,
I coded to a bookmark as below in a PDF Using Adobe Acrobat.
this.print({bUI:false, nStart:0, nEnd:1, bSilent: true});
when i click the bookmark the print panel opens with all pages selected. The same working fine with Acrobat 9.0 and other readers. The problem persist only in Acrobat 8.0.
Is it a bug in Acrobat 8.0?

You mean, Edit>preferecnces (ctrl+k)
Javascript--- Enable Acrobat Javascript (check box)
Yes, it's enabled. When i click the bookmark, the Print dialog box opening, which means the Javascript is running. But Print page range is set to All, It suppose to be 1-2.

Print page range

Can anyone tell me how I can access the page range values set in the print dialog afetr displaying teh Print dialog to a user?????

Thanks for your answer. I have 2 follow up questions on this then:
1. What function do I call to put it into teh real Printer dialog.
2. How do I disable the other Page Range attribute such as "All", "Select" in the real Print Dialog.

Printing page range in document with more than one page #1

I have an insurance application which has 24 pages numbered 1-6 then restarting 1-18. This is not just the page # at the bottom of the page but the page number that Adobe Free Reader is showing. When on the last page the top of the screen shows [18] 24 of 24.
I want to print the first page 5 which works fine when I print current page or a page range. Then I want to print 1-12 of the second section which I have tried printing as 7-18. This gave me the pages numbered 7-18 of the second section. But if I try printing page 1-12 I get 18 pages or 1-6 + 1-12.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Change the Preference from using logical pages to physical pages and then select the physical pages.
You should provide unique names for the page numbers when you apply page numbers to the PDF and you need to fix them if you merge PDFs.

Adobe X Printing page ranges in pdf's with multiple sections

I'm trying to print a page range in a document that is divided into sections that start over with page 1 or page i, and using an absolute page range doesn't work. For example, the document has an initial cover page up to the Contents page numbered i - vi, then the Contents section is numbered i - iv, then the Figures section is numbered 1 - 2, then the Chapter 1 section is numbered 1 - 6, Chapter 2 is 1 - 14, etc.
In Adobe X, the default toolbar with the print, mail icons, then the up and down arrows, is followed by a box with the "page number" in it followed by a page range in (); for ex., the box has '1' in it and the range shows (15 of 94). If I was viewing the title page, the box would have 'i' in it followed by (1 of 94), etc.
When I try to print, the dialog menu shows the "Print Range" of "All", "Current Page", and "Pages". If I select "Pages" and enter the absolute number from the range in () like (15 of 94), and I want to print absolute page 15-35, and I enter that in the "Pages" box as 15-35, what I get is a section further in the document that I don't want at all, and not the desired page range. In fact, since the sections all restart the page numbering, I can't even find the starting page because the print function is totally confused about what page I mean.
In previous Acrobat versions, I had no trouble using the absolute page range since that is obviously required to get the desired range; i.e., Acrobat can't know what section I want, so for ex. putting page 1-10 can mean any section with 10 pages. I don't know how to use a page range for sections, like 2.1 - 2.4 or 2-1 to 2-4 because the Page range box doesn't recognize that. And again, the absolute page ranges don't work either.
The only way to print this document is to select the "All" button. If the doc is 1000 pages long, I don't want to waste all that paper!! Please help!

You can use the thumbnails pane and print pages selected within the pane.
Have you tried other strings like:
1 - 6 , 1 - 13

Print page ranges

With the print dialog that is displayed when you call:
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = job.pageDialog();you can only print continuouspage ranges (like x to y). We would like to print discontinuous page ranges (like "1;5-6;9").
Is there a built in way to achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Stas,
thanks for your reply.
I tried the following code.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
public class PrintDialogExample {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        job.setPageable(new Pageable() {
               public Printable getPrintable(int pageIndex)
                         throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
                    return new Printable() {
                         public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
                                   throws PrinterException {
                            if (pageIndex > 9) {
                                return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
                            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                            g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
                            g.drawString("Test the print dialog!", 100, 100);
                            return PAGE_EXISTS;
               public PageFormat getPageFormat(int pageIndex)
                         throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
                    return new PageFormat();
               public int getNumberOfPages() {
                    return 10;
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        PageFormat pf = job.pageDialog(aset);
        boolean ok = job.printDialog(aset);
        if (ok) {
            try {
                 job.print(aset);
            } catch (PrinterException ex) {
}Hope thats what you meant?! Now there is a page dialog and a print dialog, but still no way to print discontinuous page ranges (like "1;5-6;9"). Any ideas?

The printer page size setting is not working in Photoshop 5.1 with Xerox printer

I am attempting to print an output size larger than 8.5 x 11 and Photoshop will not change the size even though the printer setting is now at the larger size. Illustrator and other programs will print but but Photoshop fails. This is an issue in both the 32 and 64 bit versions. Help!

I found the following on the Xerox site...tip of the hat to T Robinson:
Re: Photoshop CS6 on Win 7x64 prints only letter size on Workcentre 7655
03-20-2013 12:28 PM
We have a Xerox WorkCentre 7435 PCL6, and I have been having a similar problem. I found a workaround in Photoshop CS5, which I will describe in case it is helpful to others. I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6 however, and the workaround no longer works with it. Instead I get an error message if I print a Job History Report. The message is partially cut off at the right margin of the page, but the part I can read says, "Completed with error(016-799): Print Instructi...on Fail detected in Decomposer." (The ellipsis indicates the part of the message that is cut off. What follows it appears on the next line down. I downloaded all updates to CS6 to see if that would help, but it did not.
Here is the workaround that worked for me on CS5:
1) Click on "Print Settings" in the Print dialog
2) On the pulldown Paper menu, select "Advanced Paper Selection"
3) Select the tray where your tabloid (or legal) sized paper is loaded
4) Click on the button at the right end of the "Paper Size" field to display the Paper Size dialog.
5) Click on the down arrow button at the right end of the "Original Document Size" field and select "Tabloid" (or "Legal") from the menu.
6) Click OK to close each of the open dialogs til you get back to the Print dialog and then print your document. The print preview should update to show you a preview reflecting the selected paper size. (This may take a few seconds to happen.)
This worked for me in CS5. Unfortunately, as noted above, it does not seem to work in CS6. The only workaround I can come up with for CS6 is to save the file as a PDF and then print it from Acrobat. This works without a problem, but it's a lot of trouble to go to every time I have to print something other than letter size.
If anyone finds a better workaround in CS6, please let me know.

Printing page ranges from an application

Hi,
I am using the windows print command from inside an application to print pdf files and it works great.
Now, is there a way to tell windows/reader to print only selected pages?
Thanks.

Moved to Acrobat SDK

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

JavaScript Print Button Page Range Not Working Ubuntu Linux

I have created a PDF file that has several button programed in Javascript to print a page or page range in the file. It works great in Windows and Mac but in Ubuntu Linux there is a problem. When you hit the button it brings up the Print window but it has all pages set to print instead of the 1 or 2 pages it is programed to print. How do you fix this. I used the following Javascript. Please help.
this.print({
bUI: true,
bSilent: true,
bShrinkToFit: true,
nStart: 1,
nEnd: 1
This is supposed to print only page 2 of the document but in Adobe Reader in Linux it wants to print page 1-12. Apparently the nStart and nEnd does not work. Is there another way to do this so it will work in Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks

I suspect that the problem has to do with the added security
included in Flash 8 and above that restricts javascript. If you
search the flash player KnowledgeBase on Adobe.com you'll find more
detailed information about fixes, but here is what worked for my
Javascripted items.
Find your Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Captivate 4
> Templates > Publish folder. Within the folder is a
standard.htm file. Open this file (for this simple task, i just use
notepad). In the script section, add...
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
you'll see other similar param declarations. It doesn't
matter the order.
You can edit the individual .htm file if you want to test
this first.
That should do it.
Here is the KB article that discusses the security features
in greater detail:

Javascript Code to Print Multiple Page Ranges in Acrobat

Hi All,
I am very new to Javascript (used it for the first time this morning) and was looking for some help.
I have built a fillable pdf form in Acrobat that I am required to print on a very regular basis.
However, when I print it, there are only particular pages that I need to print as opposed to the entire document.
I have put in a Print button that executes the below code when pressed:
this.print (true, 1, 25) ;
this.print (true, 27, 28) ;
This allows me to print two different page ranges, but it separates them into two different print jobs.
Is there a code that will allow me to put them into the same print job, so that it selects pages 1-25, 27-28 rather than doing them separately?
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat/Reader 11 allows you to use the printRange property of the PrintParams object that's used with the print statement: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.1013.html
See the sample code included at the link above.

Print each page range double sided as new task

Hi All,
I have that problem. I would like to double sided print some pages from pdf file - let's say pages 1 to 5. But I want them to print like this - pages 1-2 on the first sheet of paper, page 3 on the second sheet (the other side of this sheet I want to be blank) and pages 4-5 on the third sheet.
If I type page ranges 1-3,4-5 when printing the result will be the same if I would type page range 1-5, so pages 1-2 will print on first sheet, pages 3-4 on the second sheet and page 5 on the third sheet. That's not what I want.
The only solution is to first print pages 1-3 and then open printing dialog box again and print pages 4-5 so they would be two separate tasks for printer. But this is very time consuming when working with large files.
I do not have Adobe Acrobat to insert blank page after each section that is odd numbered so this is no solution for me.
Could you please help? Any ideas how to work this out? Is there any printing set up to print each page range as separate task?
Or maybe there is a way to double sided print odd numbered page ranges with an additional blank page at the end so that the next range would start on new sheet?
Thank you in adavnce

dear ,
check ur printer settings , bcos u are using std.program , so i cannt say SAP is doing wrong , better to check ur printer settings

OfficeJet 8600 doesn't print full page range from pdf with Mac OS X

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 linked to a Mac with OS X Mavericks
We often need to print a block of pages (say the first 40, or 10-20 out of the middle) out of large pdf documents of 250pg or more. To do so we put in the page range under 'pages' in the print instructions box.
The printer sometimes prints an initial block of pages, then cuts off. If we then try to print the remaining pages, it starts by printing the whole range again, with the ones we already have, and then still cuts off maybe after having done 2-3 more than the first time round. To print the whole range we've eventually had to print the last pages one at a time.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening, and how we can stop it? It happens with documents in Adobe Reader and web pages.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @NickRN8
I am not sure what is causing the inconsistency in selected pages not printing, but I'd be happy to help.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. If the issue remains unresolved, I will post instructions to completely scrub the HP software from the computer and start fresh.

Cannot Print "current page" or "page range" in Compatibilty Mode in Word 2010

We are upgrading to Word 2010 from Word XP
All old documents open in Compatibility Mode
None can print a page range or current page, the whole document prints instead
I have tried to "Convert" to the 2010 format to no avail.
This does not happen on Documents created in 2010.
The only workaround I have found is to Copy the entire document into a New Word 2010 Document.
Is there a fix for this? Is anyone else having the same problem? It is not the same as the section problem I have seen all over these forums.
Thanks

Trouble printing selected page range as handout

I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I have this issue with my printer also
my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

How do I change the default page range in the Print Dialog

Post Author: MikeDymond
CA Forum: .NET
Even when a report has more than one page the print dialog produced by the .net version of CrystalReportViewer sets the default page range to 1 of 1.Is it possible to change that to default to All? Cheers Mike

Post Author: dlyford
CA Forum: .NET
Yes you can do this. I've done it but cannot remember exactly what page I had to modify. I think it was in the aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\crystalreportviewers115\js\export.js file. In one of the functions you need to swap the ALL and PAGES variables. Hope this helps.
