Printer Controls for PDF Docs (not XDP)

I understand how to control a printer from an XDP, but is there a way to control a printer with a document generated by PDF Generator? Specifially, I need to turn duplex on for specific sections of docs, and I need to control tray selction on a page by page basis.
Thanks.
-Greg

You won't be able to use scripting on the client side, but you will be able to output to a printer direcly.
After the original document is converted to PDF you can use Output (like Hodmi described) to output that PDF direcly to a printer.
If what you want is to print the PDF on a printer that your LC:ES server can comunicate with, then this will do just fine.

Print to Adobe pdf does not give option for .pdf file

I recently installed Acrobat X Pro. I have a 10-page pdf document open in Acrobat. I want to eliminate the first page and save the other 9 in another file. In previous versions, I would select Print and then select the printer "Adobe PDF". When I do this now, the Save As File Type gives me only one choice - All Files *.* - which is useless. If I am in any other application the Save As File Type comes up .pdf. I don't think it is the installation, because I installed this on my desktop and laptop and it is doing the same thing in both of them. The operating system for both computers is Windows 7 64-bit. What can I do to fix this? Is it just a matter of changing a setting that I am not aware of? Thank you in advance to anyone who will help.

For Acrobat X I went to Tools - Pages - and the delete choice was grayed out. I thought I could get the same result by using the Print to Adobe PDF command. From any other application I can print to Adobe PDF, just not in Acrobat. Does Acrobat X not let you do this, or is it just on mine? And if it is only on mine, what do I do to fix it? By the way, I am able to delete pages from other documents, just not the particular document I am currently working with.
Any other suggestions anyone?

I just paid for Adobe PDF pack and I think I am having problems installing. When I select to print from word, PDF is not an option. Help!

Hi voltric2014,
If you are on Windows, you can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Printer, which would allow you to "print" to PDF from Word. You'll find a link to the installer on the CreatePDF page at https://cloud.acrobat.com. Here are the instructions for installing it: Using Adobe PDF Pack
Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Best,

Table of Contents page numbers works for PDF but not for other formats

Hi,
I followed exactly was indicated here regarding creation of TOC.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm
The page numbers generated correctly for PDF but not for RTF, HTML and XLS.
(HTML and XLS are understandably not paginated in nature but why not in RTF?)
Tried to make the simplest example work, with 2 headings each on a separate page. Doesn't work on either MSWord 2003 or 2007.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards,
Jarell

Hi Kavipriya,
What is your email address? I have attached a file in Oracle Metalink, under SR 3-5172030861. named test_toc.rtf
You may use any xml because the template does not use any dynamic binding of values.
The template is basically 2 pages, the TOC in the 1st page. First TOC item (Heading 1) is in Page 1, and Second TOC item is in Page 2.
So the end result should be (PDF result from BI Publisher):
First TOC Item .................. 1
Second TOC Item ............. 2
But for RTF it outputs:
First TOC Item .................. 0
Second TOC Item ............. 0
And after doing Print Preview (once or twice)
First TOC Item .................. Error in Bookmark
Second TOC Item ............. Error in Bookmark
Hope this is detailed enough to illustrate the problem.

Embedding printer profile in pdf doc? (e.g. forcing it to print Landscape)

Hi there!
I just sent a client some .pdfs. They were exported from InDesign and are formatted for Landscape. The client wants to know if there's a way to ensure that the document will default to Landscape if a recipient tries to print them out (to save on paper and inconvenience).
I've looked around and couldn't find a solution to this. Any ideas / help would be hugely appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!
Stu

No, you can't do that. There's no such thing as an embeddable printer profile for PDF. And everyone has different printers with different capabilities and limitations.

Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed

Hi All,
Publisher name in Item info for PDF is not displayed (shows; unkown publisher) in Adobe Digital Editions. The Adobe Acrobat Professional does not have "Publisher" field to add Publisher name; it facilitates user to provide "Title", "Author", "Subject" and "Keywords" into the Document Properties (Ctrl+D)
Some one please guide, to get Publisher name in "item info" for PDF in Adobe Digital Editions.
Cheers
Vikas

For PDF the Publisher name comes only from the encryption information that is included when a PDF file is packaged for use by Adobe Content Server. If this information was not included at packaging time there is no end user method for adding it in after the fact.

Standard/Advanced print dialogue for PDFs?

When you print an image such as a jpeg in Mac OS X 10.4 you get the option of standard or advanced print dialogues. One feature of the Apple's new standard option allows for rotating an image on the print area. This is great because it potentially allows us to print A2 on our large format printer without having to then trim it manually. Except that most of our printing is done from PDFs which don't appear to be able to take advantage of this standard print dialogue.
Question is, does anyone know of a way to invoke the standard print dialogue for PDFs?

Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600. HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.
VO

It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
be.

Print control for QM inspection instruction

Hi everybody,
I have a problem concerning the print control of the inspection instruction.
For each plant, we are printing a different inspection instruction form. So I am using the transaction CQ85 withing customizing to set up the printer for each plant and assign the respective form to it.
Up to now, this worked perfect. No I wanted to change the printer for one plant so I copied the form, assigned the new printer and deleted the old customizing entry and I also changed the printer specification.
But the system is still printing the inspection instruction on the old printer.
Does anybody have an idea what happened there? When I look at the customizing, everything looks fine.
Thanks a lot in advance
Anja

I think I found out what the problem is, I just don't know how to fix it...
The customizing table T496D still contains the old printer in the field LV01D.
But I don't know how where this can be changed.
In the printer specification, I set the way of determining the output device to 02 - "Output device from print control for user".
But when I check which table is behind the field for printer setting in customizing, it always shows it's the table T496P or T496F.
So how can I change the entry in the table T496D?
Anybody has an idea?
Thanks a lot in advance!

How to save print setup for pdf file so that every user can open and print w/o manually performing?

Can is there a way to configure the print settings (i.e. paper size, orientation, etc.) and save this setting as part of the pdf file? I would like the users of pdf files to be able to open the file and simply print, without having to manually configure the print settings.

Not sure if this will help. I got this information from the built-in help under Acrobat 9.
Advanced
Lists PDF settings, print dialog presets, and reading options for the document.In the PDF settings for Acrobat, you can set a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for web links in the document. Specifying a base URL makes it easy for you to manage web links to other websites. If the URL to the other site changes, you can simply edit the base URL and not have to edit each individual web link that refers to that site. The base URL is not used if a link contains a complete URL address.
You can also associate a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF. When the PDF is searched with the Search PDF window, all of the PDFs that are indexed by the specified PDX file are also searched.
You can include prepress information, such as trapping, for the document. You can define print presets for a document, which prepopulate the Print dialog box with document-specific values. You can also set reading options that determine how the PDF is read by a screen reader or other assistive device.
Create print presets
A PDF can contain a set of print presets, a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print options. By creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time you print the document. It’s best to define print settings for a PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets provide a means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.
Print Dialog Presets
Page Scaling
Prepopulates the Page Scaling option in the Print dialog box with the option you choose:
Default
Uses the application default setting, which is Shrink To Printable Area.
None
Prevents automatic scaling to fit the printable area. This setting is useful for preserving the scale of page content in engineering documents, or for ensuring that documents print at a particular point size to be legal.
DuplexMode
For best results, the selected printer should support duplex printing if you select a duplex option.
Simplex
Prints on one side of the paper.
Duplex Flip Long Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the long edge.
Duplex Flip Short Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the short edge.
Paper Source By Page Size
Selects the option by the same name in the Print dialog box. Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have different-sized output trays.
Print Page Range
Prepopulates the Pages box in the Print Range section of the Print dialog box with the page ranges you enter here. This setting is useful in a workflow where documents include both instruction pages and legal pages. For example, if pages 1–2 represent instructions for filling out a form, and pages 3–5 represent the form, you can set up your print job to print multiple copies of only the form.
Number Of Copies
Prepopulates the Copies box in the Print dialog box. Choose a number from 2 to 5, or choose Default to use the application default, which is one copy. This limitation prevents multiple unwanted copies from being printed.
Thanks.

Officejet 6500A Plus Suddenly only prints red for most but not all occasions.

In the middle of printing a report it switched to RED ink. I bought and replaced black cartridge... though it still had ink. (NO SUCCESS) It prints BLACK for copies, for documents on Pages (I Mac) and from wife's laptop that is connected. SOMETIMES IT PRINTS BLACK when I click on PDF and Print.... but not all the time. It ALWAYS PRINTS RED when I print an e mail. No TROUBLESHOOTING suggestions seem to fit this irregular problem

PDF's are typically send to the printer as graphics, which may cause them to be printed with the color cartridge rather than black. If your cyan cartridge is low (or not working) the print will appear red. To address cyan not printing properly the document here may help.
Depending on your OS you may be able to set the printer to print in Grayscale and Black ink only.

Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

Hello Bhl3302,
Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.
Best Regards,
Alina M
