Printing and Page scaling issues

On a lot of my documents -- scanned from 8x11 b&w pages -- Acrobat seems to want to scale down the pages to print correctly, when this is not true.
Is there anything that I can do to solve this issue?
I realize that I can set page scaling to none, but this is NOT a solution. Every person printing the document would have to do the same thing. I want to solve this problem so that even if Acrobat is set to "Shrink to Fit", that it knows to NOT scale down the pages.

In addition to the above comment, Acrobat or Adobe Reader will always try to scale a page down if it is printing on paper of the same size. If you want to make it even more fool proof (a user could override the above setting and select scale pages to fit) make the page size a bit smaller than letter, then even if they select shrink to fit it won't need to.

Raw HTML and Page Rendering Issue happening at Random

We are an internet retailer (BettyMills.com) and recently started having customers and our internal users reporting two issues.
It is random, but due to the high volume of traffic on our website, it is a high enough frequency to be very troubling.
The webpage does not fully render, and the customer sees a dump of the page without formatting, just a listing of all the links on our page and the images dumped out and out of place.
We thought this was initially a comcast DNS issue, but seems it is happening beyond that.
I'm on Firefox 19.x and I've never had the issue, but I've witnessed it on about half dozen of our staff computers and external customers.
Has anyone seen this issue or any way to know how to trouble shoot it?
We can't recreate it on demand so very difficult to debug it.

Print and Page Setup Error

I just installed CR 2008 and am getting an 'out of memory' error when I hit 'page setup'. After clicking 'okay' on the error, it opens the page setup screen, but attempting to change anything brings up an 'an invalid argument was encountered' error.
Task manager says that I have plenty of memory.
I also have a problem with CR shutting down when I hit the print button. I end up with this error: crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvienience.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Try turning off the DEP for Crystal reports, and check if it works after that. For turning off the DEP, right click 'My Computer' -> Properties -> 'Advanced' -> click the 'Settings' button under the Performance frame -> 'Data Execution Prevention' -> select the second radio button -> click on 'Add' and select 'Crw32.exe' through the dialog box.
Thanks,
Alok.

How can use Print and Page Setup Dialogs with multiple monitors?

It seems the designers of the printing API forgot to include multiple monitor support.
According to the API, a way to popup a print dialog is done via this manner;
1) PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog()
or
2)PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog(PrintRequestAttributeSet atts)
Option (1) brings up the native print dialog and hangs the event thread (another problem, for later i guess) and (2) brings up the Swing dialog which at least doesn't hang the event thread. And while somewhat limited is not a bad print dialog.
The problem is that there is no way to pass a GraphicsConfiguration object, so that the print dialog can know where to popup (what monitor).
So looking around, we have this newer 1.4 method
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/print/ServiceUI.html
public static PrintService printDialog(GraphicsConfiguration gc,
int x,
int y,
PrintService[] services,
PrintService defaultService,
DocFlavor flavor,
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes) throws HeadlessException
So now this method has a way to pass a graphicsconfiguration, so it should know what monitor to create the dialog in.
But this method is such a mess to setup. When I use it, it lists the printers but doesn't select the user's default printer.
But more problematecally is that there is no PAGE SETUP dialog equivalent to this method! So I would have a print dialog that pops up in the right place, but page setup on default monitor! ARGH!!!
The code for ServiceUI has a pageDialog() method but it's commented out for "future release". What a mess.
Is there any way to solve this? To have pageDialog and printDialog on a given monitor?

Database and page Load Issue

Well recently I needed to change the database tables and had to remove one table within the databse. Using MySQL 5
After I cleaned up all traces of information related to the table which was removed I decided to deploy and try out the application. When I try to enter one of the pages I get this error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: The connection is not valid as querying the table roles failed: Table 'database.table' doesn't exist
And here is the stack trace that came with the error:

The problem is I can't find any traces of the table i removed left in the project, I did a find all in the project of a keyword which will pick up on the table and removed it.
Another interesting fact is that when I remove the data providers in the page which have no connection to the table I removed the program will load fine. I also checked all my queries and they were all displaying correctly.
Any ideas?

I found out the reason for the error, the validation table I had set was used by the datasource, after I removed the table Java Studio Creator left traces of that and still tried to use the table for validation.
If anyone else has this problem, the way I fixed this was to open the Servers Window, expand the Deployment Server Node, expand the Resources folder and remove anything there even remotely related to your database, remove your database and re-add it.
Also, could this be considered a bug? I believe I have a way to reproduce it:
1) Create a database
2) Add a datasource set the Validation table to one of the tables
3) Remove that table from the database
That should cause the error to show up. When the datasource is removed shouldn't JSC remove any traces of the connection?
Lastly does this mean that JSC is checking the validation table everytime on deployment?
A response regarding this would be appreciated

Laser printer and certificate paper issues

Ok I've got some certificate paper Textured Conqueror that my printer fades and does not print on all of it? Any help please

Try changing the paper type in the printer menu to whatever is suitable, if you have different paper trays or a drop down feeder then try those aswell.
Dont mean to sound silly, but does your printer have enough toner/ ink?

Keynote and Pages colour issues. aaaaaaaaagh.

When I import from iphoto into keynote, keynote alters the colour and makes whites become green and flesh tones overly warm.
It also seems to strip detail.
I was hoping this might disappear from version 3 but it hasnt. The new image editing functions make no difference
I can recreate it on other macs.
I can email a side by side screenshot if any one wants to see how bad it is.
Any help/workarounds greatly appreciated.

I'd be interested to see what's going on. When you say whites become green, I'm not a color specialist so if they're taking on a green cast, I might not see it, but, if you're looking at the coloring crayons in the color picker, if it's going from "Snow" to "Clover" I'll probably spot that

Acrobat X Pro - Page Scaling Document Property

I have an archive of 1000's of PDF files and I want to change the Page Scaling property in each of them from "Default" to "None." I would like to automate this process, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with the tools provided.
Without automation this is done by choosing File > Properties > Advanced tab > Page Scaling drop-down. When the file is saved this set the default print-time page-scaling option to None. My operators are having a hard time remembering to set that option when these files are printed and since this can actually be saved with each PDF file I would like to fine a way to automate setting this option for all of my PDF files.
I am not a javascript programer, but I'm pretty clever. Does anyone have any input to offer on this option? Googling has led me nowhere.

You can't set this property with JS directly. It might be possible through
a Preflight profile, but I wasn't able to find it there, either.

Word to pdf: page scaling lops off odd-page footers!

I'm running Windows Vista and just installed Acrobat Pro 9. When I print a Word document using the Adobe pdf driver, and I use a custom page size and page scaling to the custom size, I'm losing the odd-page footers. The original document is 8.5x11 and the custom page size is 8x10. The weird thing is, the page sizes are consistent throughout, and there is no problem with the even-page footers. Conversely, when I print to pdf without page scaling, the footer shows up properly. Thanks in advance for your help!

What result do you get if you print 2 pages (odd and even) to paper? It may be that the margins conflict with the footers and the page overruns the footers, dropping the footer off. Printing to paper would be good to isolate the problem if possible.
WORD 2007 does not use printer metrics by default and so that should not be your problem. WORD 2007 does do some other strange stuff to PDF file. Be sure to try using the PDF Maker and also the print to the Adobe PDF printer. In AA9, these provide different functionality, particularly with WORD 2007. Does one process work and not the other?

Trouble Printing or Scanning? Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor

Are you having trouble when you try to print or scan with your Deskjet, Officejet, or Photosmart printer or All-in-One?
Does your print job get “stuck” and never come out of your printer?
Are you getting an error message when you try to scan?
HP suggests that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor. While not all types of printing and scanning communication problems are addressed with this software utility, many common problems are resolved. This utility can be used to troubleshoot and in some cases directly fix common connectivity problems experienced with many of HP’s desktop printers and all-in-one devices when used on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8 systems (administrator privileges are necessary in order to run the utility).
If the HP Print and Scan Doctor detects missing or incompatible software parts, the utility will offer to uninstall the current parts so that a subsequent reinstall process will go smoothly. The uninstall / reinstall process usually resolves printing and scanning connectivity issues with a minimum of further fuss.
Get it here: HP Print and Scan Doctor
Please Give HP Your Feedback! If you use the HP Print and Scan Doctor, HP would like to hear from you afterward – there’s a survey link built right into utility and it only takes a minute or two. Your ideas on how to improve the Print and Scan Doctor help HP design new features and enhancements for all of our customers. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Do you have a networked printer?
If your printer is network connected rather than connected via USB, you may be experiencing network related connectivity issues. Any network connectivity issues must be addressed first. The HP Print and Scan Doctor will also check for and help you resolve network issues that previously required a separate utility (the HP Network Diagnostic Utility). With the HP Print and Scan Doctor this is no longer necessary! HP has combined all features of the Print Diagnostic, Scan Diagnostic, and Network Diagnostic utilities into our next generation utility!
The HP Print and Scan Doctor runs on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8. You will need administrator privileges in order to run the utility.

Surface Pro 3, Remote Desktop, multiple monitors, Windows 8.1 DPI scaling issues

I have been evaluating Surface Pro 3 and once of the attributes is the display. Here is the description of the environment and the remote desktop display issue.
Surface Pro 3 (Windows 8.1 with latest firmware and Windows updates) has 12 inch built-in screen with native resolution 2160x1440. The Surface is docked and an external monitor (native resolution 1920x1080) is connected to the docking stations. The
display configuration doesn't allow for different scaling for each monitor, single scaling value is used for multiple monitors. This is an issue as the recommended scaling of 150% is optimal for small built-in screen of Surface but it is not optimal for
large screens of external monitors. Also this scaling is "inherited" by a remote desktop session which results in objects being too large on the remote desktop sessions or sometimes even blurry/fuzzy.
Can the blurriness/fuzziness of the remote desktop session be resolved?
Z

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the response. I installed the latest firmware and patches about a week ago and the scaling issue improved. It is not optimal yet as some graphical elements are still out of proportions but I do not want to spent more resources on this subject
anymore.
Best regards,

Foxfire crashes when i try to print any page from the web site

foxfire crashes when i try to print and page ie my ncis(firearm), bank statement even if do a print page

It would appear you have a multi-function printer with a fax. This device would install as a Fax and as a printer as seperate devices. Make sure you are printing to the printer device. What is your printer model? What operating system? What browser are you printing from?

Printing multiple pages per sheet using a PostScript driver and GhostScript.

I have three PDF files containing a total of 165 pages. I would like to print 162 of these pages onto two sides of a 8.5 × 11 in. "Letter" size paper. That is 81 pages per sheet. I don't care about loss of clarity or readability, just that fact that there are 81 (or I suppose 80 would be possible and would fit much nicer) pages of the document shown. I've seen this done before, so it is possible. It involved printing using a PostScript driver. I don't own a PostScript printer, so GhostScript will take the resulting PostScript document and print it on a non-PostScript printer.
The first issue I'm having is with using the PostScript driver to print 80 pages per sheet. The only printing options I can find allow you to print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, no customizable value present.
Does anyone have any words of advice or a source for information on the process of how this can be done? Thanks in advance.

"The only printing options I can find allow you to print 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages per sheet, no customizable value present."
There's no "Custom..." to choose from.
Edit: Alright! I solved my own problem. In order to print a customizable number of pages per sheet 'Page Scaling', under the 'Page Handling' section of the 'Print' window, must be set to "Multiple pages per sheet". At this point more options populate the window, one of which is a new but seperate dropdown for 'Pages per sheet' with "Custom..." as a selection. This is different, however, from the 'Print' window's 'Properties' sub-window which has a form entry drop-down for 'Pages Per Sheet'. Hurray for unintuitive software GUIs! Hopefully this post will help others.

Report Builder - Last page issue and Report Footer issue

I am using ColdFusion 9 Report Builder, am new to this product and encountering 2 issues.
Issue 1 - I have a field that I would like to print on the last page of my report. How can I determine the last page? I initially tried using a calculated field set to the 'highest' calc.Page_Number. Then I could compare the current page to the last page in the 'Print When' property. But calc.Page_Number can not be used in a definition of a calculated field.
Issue 2 - Depending on the amount of report detail, sometimes my report footer prints alone, without a page header and page footer. The report includes this page in the total number of pages. For example, if it is a 2 page report, the page header on page 1 will display Page 1 of 2. Then the only data on Page 2 is the Report Footer. No page header or page footer prints.
Any assistance on these issues would be most appreciated. To date, using the Report Builder has not been easy.

To issue 1: The report contains a report band called report footer. thsi is always at the last page. The report footer band initially is collapsed, so you have to expand it by dragging the last band divider.
To issue 2: I guess this is a page break calculating error when detail data reaches really near the page footer area.
Try some experiments with different setting of the following properties/issues:
- in elements, e.g. calculating fields in the bands between report detail and page footer: In Properties / Print Control / Printing Options: Activate the option "Remove line when blank". This will remove the whole report band area if this field is blank. May save some empty space.
- try to remove unused empty space between detail rows.
- try to resize and reposition all detail fields so that they snap to the grid.
Best regards

ALV: How do I suppress repeating values and page breaks on printed output?

Good day, everyone!
First, I've done a LOT of searching trying to find the answer to my question, but I'm not finding an answer. If this has already been answered and you can point me to a URL, I would appreciate it.
Here's my issue: I have a rather simple ALV report. It has the columns of Person ID, Personnel Number, For Period, In Period, and Amount. I sort by Person ID and Personnel Number, and if the value repeats on the next line of the report, I want to suppress it (make it blank).
I thought the answer was in the following code, where I set the GROUP attribute to asterisk:
CLEAR sortcat_ln.
sortcat_ln-spos      = '1'.
sortcat_ln-fieldname = 'PERSONID_EXT'.
sortcat_ln-up        = c_true.
sortcat_ln-group     = '*'.
APPEND sortcat_ln TO sortcat.
CLEAR sortcat_ln.
sortcat_ln-spos      = '2'.
sortcat_ln-fieldname = 'PERNR'.
sortcat_ln-up        = c_true.
sortcat_ln-group     = '*'.
APPEND sortcat_ln TO sortcat.
It looks PERFECT on the screen -- the values are suppressed if they repeat, and everything appears together on one screen. However, when I print the report, two things happen: 1) The values repeat on each row, even if they are the same, and 2) I get a page break after each Person ID / Personnel Number combination.
I now realize that I can't use the GROUP attribute. Is there some other way in ALV to blank these repeating values and keep all the rows together on one page, rather than page breaking after each value change?
Thanks!
Dave

Hi
Same requirement i had before, when i try to print preview. the output of the grid display is in grouping is ok, but when i print preview or print it doesnt cater the grouping and page breaks, so what i did i modify the internal table use in alv , after hitting the print preview/print with the format desired by the user. you can do that in user-command. see code below
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm TYPE syucomm
                        rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
DATA lt_sort TYPE lvc_t_sort.
CASE r_ucomm.
    WHEN '&RNT_PREV' OR '&RNT'.
      t_final_x[] = t_final[].
      PERFORM clear_redundant.
      PERFORM set_sort_criteria USING lt_sort.
    WHEN '&F03' OR '&PRINT_BACK_PREVIEW'.
      t_final[] = t_final_x[].
    WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.                    "user_command
hope it helps
