Printing a pdf file in a different color

Hi!
I'm trying to print my own wedding invitations because I was not happy with the product that I ordered.  When I told the designer that I didn't like the final color, she would not refund me, but she offered to send me a digital file of the invitation in a pdf form so I could print them myself.   She sent it in both black & white and the original color she used.  The invitation is basically all white with calligraphy wording in a coral color, that I would like to be a different shade (although the writing was handwritten, so I don't think it's considered typical text).   I have no idea how to change it myself, and I'm trying not to spend more money by going to a commercial printer.  I downloaded trials of both Acrobat and Illustrator and was hoping someone could help me out.   It would be so appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi Bailie,
You might try looking for a paper jam or carriage jam.

Look at the 15th issue.  That's the closest I could find.
Good luck.

  • Printing problems (PDF files-HP Color Laserjet 1518ni: return the printer?

    Hi everyone, I recently switched platforms and became a Mac user and had to buy a new
    printer because my old HP deskjet is not compatible with my computer. So, I bought an HP
    Color Laser printer, supposedly Mac compatible, but every time I try to print a PDF file it only
    prints the first page. And then stops printing. I spent hours with the HP customer service, reinstalled
    the driver, changed configurations, but it still does the same thing. The customer service representative could not solve the problem. I was wondering if there is any one else who had a similar issue with printing? Is it Mac OS X 10.5.5 that causes the problem? I am about to return the laser printer; it would be so helpful if I got some feedback. If it is a printer issue, then, which printer would you folks recommend that is not too expensive but efficient (I use the printer a lot and need an efficient one) and a printing speed of around 12-20ppm that actually does work with the Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you for calling my attention to the Adobe issue. I did try and print a PDF file with Preview and it worked! How was the issue solved with Adobe 7? Maybe Adobe pro7 also similar bug issues; is it to Adobe that I should be reporting this or to Apple?
    Thanks again.
    It's definitely an Adobe problem. The only solution I ever saw was either to print from Preview or to use later versions of Adobe Reader 8 or any version of Reader 9. I asked Adobe support what the problem was. I never got a reply.
    You should know that Preview (and any other application which reads PDFs using Apple's PDF engine) has a problem with displaying Times Roman Italic, and only Times Roman Italic when launched under OS X 10.5.5. All other fonts appear to work normally; at least I haven't found one which has a problem, including other Times Roman font faces, including Times Roman Bold Italic. Preview seems to print properly, but the on-screen display has problems. The same files display properly with apps which don't use Apple's PDF engine, and also with apps which use Apple's PDF engine under versions of the OS earlier than 10.5.5, going back to at least 9.2.1. Apple is aware of the problem.
    There seems to be at least two problems with the main PDF engines for OS X, Apple's and Adobe's.

  • I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get the error message that adobe could not

    I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email.  I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download.  I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.

    This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
    For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

    Ps: which jdev version do you use?

  • ?  Printing a PDF file to Adobe PDF messes up everything

    Here are three questions that may be related to each other.  I've wanted to ask them for a long time but kept hoping they would somehow resolve themselves.  Any advice would be appreciated.
    1. When I print a PDF file to Adobe PDF as an image, the black color (even the fonts) becomes gray and blurry.  The selection to print as an image is made in Print (to PDF) - Advanced Print Setup - Settings Custom / Print as Image (resolution 600 dpi, which is the highest available choice).  This happens regardless of what settings I choose  in Print - Properties (Standard, High Quality Print, etc.).
    2. Running OCR on occasion does something similar.  The letters become blurry and grayish.  Everything is more difficult to read after OCR. It's as if Adobe has chosen to substitute the font or color for something blurry.  It's strange. 
    3. Sometimes OCR doesn't make things worse.  The quality doesn't deteriorate.  In this case I wonder whether the quality should actually improve rather than stay as is.  If a letter is recognized despite the fact that its image is not perfect, shouldn't it be substituted in the document by a perfectly solid letter with no defects by using one of the regular Adobe fonts?  Should a real font be used instead of an image of the letter that has been recognized in OCR?
    Are my settings wrong or am I doing something wrong?  I'm using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    What version of Acrobat? What OS? What are your choices when creating the OCR? Without knowing how you are doing things, it is hard to answer.
    It is not clear why you want to create images in a PDF from a current PDF. For a black type style, it is probably better to use a preflight script to convert to gray-scale first and then do your graphic conversion (I am not asking why you want to do this, but just trying to address your question).

  • Acrobat Pro XI Mac won't print a .pdf file, but Apple Preview will print correctly

    Hello,
    I have Acrobat Pro XI for Mac.  recently I've run into pdf files that will show the document on screen ok, show up on print preview screen ok, but when I send it to a printer I either get:
    1.  no printout... the document passes through the printer queue ok, but nothing comes out (no blank paper, nothing).  no data seems to even reach the printer/print server.  no error.  the print job basically vanishes into thin air like the job was never sent
    2.  prints out with all the characters of a text substituted with squares (again, no error. just prints squares instead of text)
    But when I print the same document using Apple's Preview program on the same machine, the file prints out fine.
    I experience this problem with two different Macs, with two different OS versions.  Again both machines will print the .pdf file fine using Apple Preview, but not with Acrobat Pro XI.
    I've searched for this problem, but no one seems to have this problem. I've tried just printing one page, etc., and no difference (won't print, or print wrong using Acrobat, but prints fine using Preview)
    the files are typically sent via e-mail from a vendor, or a web downloaded form (invoice, forms filled out.  some are secure, some are not).  and these are from multiple sources.
    Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix this?
    system:
    Mac Pro (early 2008) and MacBook Pro (mid-2011)
    MacOS 10.8.4 and 10.6.8 (multiple computers have this same problem)
    Acrobat Pro XI, 11.0.04
    printer: HP LaserJet 5MP (yes.. old.. but it works) via HP JetDirect + print server on  LAN

    I just found this solution on another board, I tried it  (I removed the same file listed below) and it worked for me.... 
    Safari won’t save or print PDFs: how to fix
    :: Tuesday, January 29th, 2013 @ 5:29:46 am
    :: Tags: Computers
    If Safari won’t save or print PDFs (but views them without any problems), you probably have an Adobe PDF plug-in installed. In Safari, go to Help->Installed Plug-ins and do a search for “PDF.” If you have anything with “PDF” in it other than “WebKit built-in PDF,” that is probably the culprit.
    On my computer, the problem was “AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin”. To remove it, I quit Safari, did a Spotlight search (Command-Option space) for that file name, and then dragged it to the trash. When I restarted Safari, I could print and save PDFs again. You can also manually find the plugins by going to the system “Library”  folder (the one at the root of your hard disk, not in your user folder) and looking in the “Internet Plug-Ins” folder.
    I’m on OS X 10.8.2, running Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).

  • How to print a PDF file that was display in my page...

    Hi !. My doubt would be the following one... I would like to know how to print a pdf file that was displayed in my page ?... I mean the PDF file not the page...
    The PDF would be in this url:
    http://iprodesa.lasegunda.com.ar:8090/datos/pdf/830.pdf
    How could I implement this ?...

  • Can't print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file.

    Can’t print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file.  Get message “Windows cannot complete the transaction.  The destination file could not be created.”  If I save the file and extract the pdf it works.  I didn't have to go through this hastle before.  If I retry many times it will often work.

    ZIP files can be handled in many different ways.  If you have a program like WinZip or 7-Zip installed, they will handle it.
    If not, Windows will handle it.  The message you quote indicates that your situation is handled by Windows, which seems to have a problem with it.  Could be caused by recent Windows updates.
    Definitely not an Adobe Reader problem.

  • Preview won't print some PDF files

    Hi everyone, I know a similar problem has been already discussed but it was not solved.
    When I print some PDF files from Preview on a Lexmark C524 color laser printer, I get only figures and symbols but no text. If I print the same files on a HP 2100 it prints ok.
    I thought it was the printer driver, but then I tried the same using Adobe Reader 9.1 and it prints fine on all printers. So my guess is that it might be some PDF version compatibility issue with Preview.
    Any idea anybody?
    You can find one of the PDF giving problems at the following address: http://www.pnas.org/content/106/1/97.full.pdf
    Thank you,
    A.

    Is there anything in Concole or the CUPS log (/var/log/cups/error_log)? It could be a font problem, but one of the places above should have some indication.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot print some pdf files

    Hello,
    Having trouble printing some pdf files that I am receiving via email, not from 1 person, from several different persons.
    My operating system is Windows 7
    Adobe Reader Version: 11.0.10.32
    As per suggestion on forum I have changed on Edit, Documents to View documents in PDF/A mode to Never.
    Also, changed Security (advance) from Enable Enhance Security to not.
    Also, tried repairing, uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    What exactly means "having trouble"?

  • Printing all PDF files in a folder in file name order

    When I do a select all and then Print the PDF files selected are printing in a random order.  Is there any way to have them print in the order that they appear in the folder (Listed by name)?  Thanks

    Adobe Reader 9.0.  I can go into Windows and open a folder with say 10 PDF files in it and click on Edit and Select All and then right click and click print and they will all print, but, they print out in a different order every time.  It would be great if they printed out in name order or the order the are listed in the folder.  Thanks

  • Batch-printing many PDF-files

    Hi,
    In our workflow we have hundreds of PDf-files in many different subfolders we need to print on a monthly basis. We COULD print them manually... but that would be expensive, time-wise. So I figured I would make an action in Acrobat Pro X that would do the trick.
    And it works... except for one thing - the "Add folders" adds ALL supported files in the sub-folders, which makes it a bit useless for our purposes. I can't see any way to sort by filetype or any way to tell it to only add specific extensions.
    Is there any easy way to do this? I'm open to scripting - perhaps Illustrator might be better for this purpose?
    BR
    Thomas

    I do this daily...If you have Adobe 9 or older the process is alot eaiser for some reason Adobe made this feature more difficult, y? i don't know but here you go...
    Acrobat X
    Acrobat X replaces "Sequences" with "Actions", and unfortunately doesn't include a built-in "Print All" Action. So you will need to create one.
    1. Choose File > Action Wizard > Create New Action
    2. Fill in the "Create New Action" dialog box as shown below.
    3. Click the Save button.
    4. Give the Action a name, such as "Print" and click the Save button.
    5. Now each time you want to batch print PDF files with Acrobat X, just File > Action Wizard > Print, and follow the on-screen prompts.
