Print to PDF - not cleared from queue. Bug?

I'm using Acrobat Pro X w/ Windows 7 Pro. When printing to PDF, I'm prompted to save the file and it prints allright. However, the print job then stays in the print manager with an error. And next time I want to print to PDF, I first have to open the print manager and delete the previous print job. So there is a work around, but this behavior is somewhat annoying and surely not as advertised ... I have tried to contact Adobe to report this, but I'm not in the mood to pay for expensive "support" to report what seems just like a software bug. Has anybody had a similar problem and, if so, is there a solution?

Hi, please refer to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791587 for resolution.

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

I need to able to print a pdf that is locked. It has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this?

The PDF has fields to fill in but then to save a copy I need to "print" to PDF not save as a pdf because that is not an option with the document. Is there a way to do this? HELP!

Sorry I thought was just a one off, it would be no use for large volumes.
Do you not have this avaiable in the print menu in Preview with these documents?
I have also found a link on the Adobe web site that discusses that this facilty is enabled by the creater of the PDF.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/X/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd61510979419 5ff-7e0d.w.html
If you do a web search there are various claims on how to save a protected PDF, I have'nt a way to test the proceedures. I would want a copy of any forms that I sent off, not sure why they protect them in this way, there must be a reason.

Why will PDF not open from email?

I recently modified my Adobe Reader 9.1 (with instructions from the bank) to be able to electronically sign documents.
Since then I can not open any PDF documents from email. I went back and reversed the changes I made. I uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it. No luck.
I have to save the documents and open them from Windows Explorer.
Any Ideas?

A fast workaround for PDF problem (See my original post)
In Firefox:
Open Tools > Options > Under Main tab click Save files to > click Browse
Scroll up or down to find where you want it to go (I put mine under Documents because it's the easiest to find).
Click New folder and label it something you will quickly recognize.
Now when you click on a PDF attachment it will automatically be sent to that file and you can double click or open
it in Adobe Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Note) If I use Internet Explorer (I have not used IE in years) I can open PDF's from Hotmail with out a problem.
I like Firefox better so I will continue to use the quick workaround until somebody finds a fix.
If you use IE, here are the instructions for saving PDF files.
Click
to open Windows Mail.
Open a message that contains an attachment by double-clicking it
in the message list.
In the message window, click the File menu,
and then click Save Attachments.
Select the folder where you want to save the attachments.
By default,
Windows Mail saves attachments in your
Documents folder. If you want to save the attachments to a different folder,
click Browse, and then select a folder.
Select the attachments that you want to save, and then click Save.

[SOLVED]Cannot print to PDF files neither from Chromium nor from Firef

When I open the print dialog and select "Print to file" to print to a PDF file, it works from applications such as gedit, evince, LibreOffice (this one uses a different print dialog, but works anyway), etc. but it is not working when using it from Chromium or from Firefox. Printing to a standard printer from these browsers works.
When I launch chromium from the terminal and try printing to a PDF file, it outputs this error message in the console:
[2229:2229:0618/092520:ERROR:print_dialog_gtk.cc(406)] Printing failed: Operation not supported
When I repeat the process from Firefox, no error message is printed in the console.
Printing to files was working until recently, I suppose an update broke it. I have Arch installed in 3 different computers (one i686, one x64 and one arm7h), and it is broken in the 3 of them. I'm using XFCE4, and both ghostscript and a2ps are installed.
Is this a known bug? Can it be solved/workarounded?

I didn't believe it until I tried, but you're right! You have to change the default name in the printing dialog and then it works O_oU
Really weird bug. THANKS!

Unable to print to PDF Oversize pages from FrameMaker 9.0 and 7.2

Hi All,
I am trying to print to PDF a publication that is full of oversize wiring diagrams. The pages are all images ranging in size from standard A3 and A4 siz sheets through to a foldout being 1470 mm W X 297 mm H. We have no problem printing A3, A4 and 630 mm W X 297 H. These are all Portrait images. When we set up our custom print size to accomodate the 1470 mm W X 297 mm H we get the pages without the content, and even some of the oversize pages are not the correct size on print.
The page sizes we are using are:
A4
A3
630 x 297 mm
840 x 297 mm
1050 x 297 mm
1260 x 297 mm
1470 x 297 mm
The procedures we are using to set up the printing are:
1.      Print to PDF (Do not Save to PDF, you do not have control over paper sizes)
Under Print Setup make sure you select PDF Driver and select the Paper size as largest that is in your book. Example: If A4 and A3 pages, print to A3
2.      Select Generate Acrobat Data and select
Note: Back in FM Print dialogue; make sure Print to File is turned OFF, before you click Print
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
AJ Wilkinson

AJ,
I tried to duplicate the scenario and ran into issues when using very wide custom pages. For whatever reason, FM tries to output the 1497x297 as 297x1497, no matter what the controls for Portrait or Landscape are set. Also changing the dimensions in the printer instance Custom Page Size didn't seem to have the desired effect.
I checked the .ps files being produced, and in all cases the page and file Bounding Boxes get defined as:
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
Whereas, in the same file the custom page size is defined as:
%%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize
1786 842 0 0 0
   4 dict begin
   3 1 roll
   2 array astore /PageOffset exch def
   2 mod 0 eq {exch} if
   2 array astore /PageSize exch def
   /ImagingBBox null def
   currentdict end setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
Note: that the H W components are transposed.
Something is definitely screwy here. The content appears to be created off the page in many scenarios.
I tried all permutations of H W, Portrait/Landscape and Paper Feed directions, but could not get output created that had the long dimension horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation). Even with pre-defined page sizes, I wasn't completely able to control the output orientation.
I then changed the defined page size within FM from a portrait aspect ratio, i.e. H > W to a landscape, W > H. I was then able to get the content appearing correctly in the 1497x297 layout. It looks like FM is trying to be "smart" and thinks it knows better as to what you want on output.
First, check that your FM page size has W > H. If printing from a Book, where you have mixed page sizes and orientations, I believe that the first file sets the orientation for the whole lot. So if the first one is a standard portrait page and you have large landscape inserts, and are trying to print to oversize pages in the landscape mode with Generate Acrobat Data on to ensure page sizes are cropped - you're going to have orientation issues with the larger pages.
Try printing these large page sizes separately and use Acrobat to replace the pages from the book output.

Prompt for Filename Upon Printing as PDF Not Working

I have an intermittent problem when printing Word documents as PDFs. I am using Windows 7 Professional, Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and Word 2010. This problem started occuring only very recently; previously I was able to print Word documents as PDFs without issue. The current problem is that about half of the time that I attempt to print as Adobe PDF, I do not receive a prompt for the filename and location of my PDF document. Instead, a tooltip bubble pops up in on my system tray with the Adobe symbol, telling me something to the effect of "your PDF has been created as k3r5pt.tmp." The other half of the time I receive the normal prompt to save my file. It does not appear to be specific to certain documents, as after this problem occurs I try again with the same document (after changing nothing) and it prints normally.
I have checked my preferences by going to Devices and Printers->Adobe PDF->Printing Preferences->Adobe PDF Settings and choosing "Prompt for Adobe PDF filename" in the Adobe PDF Output Folder drop-down menu. This has always been the setting and it still is. I am not certain where these .tmp files are being sent to or why they are being created at all. Any help you can provide would be appreciated so that I can print my PDFs successfully every time.

Unfortunately updating the Distiller settings did not help. PDFs are still printing to .tmp files periodically. It isn't just from Word either; I've also noticed that it happens with PDFs as well. For example, when viewing a 50+ page PDF document online I chose to print one of the pages from the middle as an Adobe PDF, and it notified me that my .tmp file was created.
By the way, I haven't been changing printer properties from within an application; I change them from the Devices and Printers menu.
I've been able to locate where the .tmp files are being sent:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp
This is frustrating. It seems to be happening despite all settings to the contrary. I just can't figure it out. I'm reluctant to delete the printer and try to re-add it, because I don't have administrator priveleges on this computer (it's my work computer). I wish I could give you guys more information.

Printer message on computer says deleting print but will not clear screen and will nopt print

my printer message says deleting for current print. but it will not clear screen and i cant print anything

CS5 print as PDF not available

Greetings
I'm not an experienced or professional Illustrator user but have created several PDFs up until a couple of weeks ago with no problem.
Today I am trying to export or print to PDF and the PDF option has disappeared from both export and save dialogue boxes. The only option for printing is Adobe PostScript file (I have no printer connected). The option is not available in any of my AI files. I last printed 3 weeks ago and didn't have any problem. I don't believe I have made any fundamental changes to the Illustrator setup.
I'm using CS5 15.0.0 on a MacBook Pro running Lion OS 10.7.2.
I am sure it's an easy fix.
Any ideas much appreciated
EskimoPieX

Thanks Wade
I am not sure why this has happened now though I do now understand that this is a Mac 'issue'.
I've successflly created a PS file but none of the print options were available so I ended up with two A4 sized pages when I wanted two business cards with 5mm bleed.
Where can I change these settings?
Thanks

Limit Shopping cart not cleared from sourcing.

Hi All,
We have an issue with the Limit shopping carts in sourcing. After the folllow on document [PO] is created successfully through Sourcing, the SC still shows up in the sourcing cockpit. The job BBP_GET_STATUS2 is running properly. In BBP_PD, we have the status I1113 - Follow-on Document Created.
This happens only to the limit Shop.Carts and the normal SCs are cleared from the sourcing cockpit, as soon as the PO is created.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

As per standard after creating folow on document , the sc should not stay in cockpit/
is it happening for all cart?
what is the sourcing indicator value for that cart

Using DVD@ccess for .PDF (not clear to me in Manual)

So I've got a link typed into a certain page of the DVD to link to a .pdf file. The link is typed as:
file:///DVDname/foldername/file.pdf
This is how it tells me to link it in the Manual, however whenever I burn a test disc, put it in the computer, check the "enable DVD@ccess" box in the DVD Player prefs, and test it, it does not open the file. How is this not working? Do I have to place the folder in a specific location when the DVD begins to build and format, or do I have to include the full line of folder names (folders within folders) when I type in the address above? Am I selecting the wrong folder when I choose the "content" folder before building the DVD?

Good links from Drew...
The process is complicated. I'll try to make it simple.
First off, your pdf file needs to be in a folder somewhere on your machine - let's call it EXTRAS. That folder itself now needs to be in a parent folder as well, let's call that one ROM_CONTENT. For simplicity just set this up on your desktop for now.
From within DVDSP you need to set the location of the pdf file in the property inspector, but you do this in two places. First off, click on the disc icon in the outline view and then look in the property inspector for the ROM section. Use the 'Browse' facility to specify the outer folder you made earlier, and make sure the path in the property inspector points to the location of 'ROM_CONTENT'.
Now, in the menu that is going to hold the DVD@ccess link you also specify the path to the file, but this time you set up the path as it would appear after the disc is built. If your pdf file is called 'products' and your DVD itself is called 'My_Disc' then the URL that you put in the menu needs to be:
file:///My_Disc/EXTRAS/products.pdf
Note that you *do not* use the name of the parent folder... this is very important!
When DVDSP builds the disc it will place the Video_TS and Audio_TS folders at the root level (the first thing you see if you open the disc in your finder). When you use DVD@ccess it will also put a folder to hold the @ccess.exe file with instructions to PC users, and it will also put whatever it finds inside the ROM_CONTENT folder at the root level of the disc. In the example here it finds a folder called EXTRAS and so the root of your disc looks nice and tidy - four folders. If you didn't use the inner folder then your pdf would appear as a file on the root... which to me is plain messy.
Now, since the folder called EXTRAS is now at the root level and holding the file to launch, that's what you MUST specify when writing the menu URL.
Finally, in order to see this working on your Mac (simulator) you need to turn on the DVD@ccess prefs in both DVDSP and DVD Player. Once done, the file should launch your default pdf viewer (probably 'Preview'). If it doesn't then there is either something wrong with the paths you have used inside DVDSP, or there is something wrong with your Mac! I'd suspect the paths before anything else...

Not purchased PDFs not syncing from mac ibooks to iPhone ibboks

Hi,
I have Macbook Air with Recently updated mavericks OSX. I have lots of PDF files on my mac (usually e-tickets of airlines) which i drag and drop to ibooks for mac. Now they are not syncing to ibooks for my iphone 5, iOS 7.0.3. The ibooks icloud syncing is ON for both the devices but i am not able to sync such PDFs to and from from and to mac and iphone. Please help.
Regards,
Vikas

I tried that. It does not work for me. I get a few books to appear from iTunes into iBooks. Getting them into iBooks on the Mac has never been the problem There are lots of way to do that. The problem is, they STILL not not sync with my iPad. And now they are gone from iTunes so i am not sure what is going to happen the next time I try to sync the iPad with iTunes. Luckily I have a Time Capsule backup so I can restore if I have to.
I guess the bottom line, based on several other threads, is the only solution is to kill iBooks, move it to an obscure corner of your Launch Pad (since you can't totally delete it) and go buy an third party app that will work. Apple has release several updates to Mavericks, and so far there is nothing on the horizon about restoring any of the sync ability that Mavericks took away - iTunes sync wirelessly with the iPad and iPhone, or, like here, iBooks syncing across Apple platforms.
