Printing and saving pdf files backwards

When saving a document created in Word as a pdf file either through the Word Print menu of using Acrobat Standard, the document in question saves/prints/converts in reverse order. Have checked all the obvious protocols, but no luck. Does anyone have anything on this? Am Using Word for Mac and OSX 10.4.5 Cheers.

The Paper Handling Panel is one of the panels in the Print Dialog, under Copies & Pages. It has the settings that control the order of the output. I hope this helps.

  • Problems loading and saving pdf files from sites with latest version.

    On my utilities I wish to download and save pdf files of my e-bill.
    Lately when I click on getting bill, Firefox opens new tab and stops.
    with a light message in url place saying "Type a web address".
    To get around this I must do a right click on the save bill and
    select open in new window, then it opens a new copy of Firefox,
    and two tabs, with the second one asking me to use Adobe to see
    pdf file. I tell it to open and then save it and print it from the tab
    that opens with the pdf file in it. This never happened before was
    always able to just click on link and it would open new tab with
    pdf file there.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't think I was clear enough with my question.
    What I want to be able to do is to click on a PDF file in my Firefox browser and be able to save it as an Adobe PDF file, not a Preview PDF file, in any folder on my computer, rather than just the specified default location for downloads. This way I can save, for example, phone bills in the phone bills folder and bank statements in the bank statements folder without having to save them to the desktop, "Get Info" on each, and change the "Open with:" box from Preview to Adobe Reader.
    Fortunately, thanks to Michael's post, I found an add-on from Firefox that allows me to do just that: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/636
    Thanks for your help. Now, within my Firefox browser, I can choose whether to view or download PDF files, always in Adobe rather than Preview, and when I save them I get the option to choose the location each and every time.

  • Error while working and saving .PDF files from Illustrator CS 5.1

    One of my partners has been facing issues while working with Adobe Illustrator PDF Files, especially while saving them. We've lost so many hours of work with these errors. We own an early 2009 iMac (MB418LL/A) running OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5). You can see the specs in this link:
    iMac "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 24-Inch (Early 2009) Specs (Early 2009, MB418LL/A, iMac9,1, A1225, 2267) @ EveryMac.com.
    She works with vectors and images, most of the time. At the moment, working on a Letter sheet sized magazine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    This is the error shown: http://txs.io/Xnrb

    Alvin,
    Just to make sure: Where are you/is she saving?
    Here it is always recommended to open/save AI documents from/to own harddisk, and to only copy from/to externals such as local server/whatever.
    The reason is that with the latter, AI files tend to get corrupted sooner or later, so you may be lucky for a while but it hurts when your luck runs out.

  • Word v.X no longer printing or creating PDF files (specific to one user)

    As of yesterday I cannot print from Word (v.X 10.0) documents or create PDF files from Word documents.
    I can print by logging out and using a test user ID.
    I can print after a safe restart (which disables many functions).
    I am still able to print and create PDF files from Pages, Firefox and other programs.
    When attempting to create a PDF from a Word file through the Print dialog box, then saving as PDF, I can see the "magnifying glass" image for the PDF briefly on the desktop, then it disappears.
    Apple Care Phone Support refuses to deal with Microsoft issues (even though it appears to be a print command failing within Mac OS steps of the process, and/or a Mac OS-generated and sorted plist file corrupting the process).
    Microsoft no longer supports the software (i.e., any file you are now using ending in .doc is no longer supported).
    Has anyone had a similar problem or an idea about what to do with likely culprit files?

    Sounds like a M$ problem to me.
    Can you save an Excel file as a PDF?
    There are .plist files in user>library>preferences
    that control the last used settings in apps.
    Quit the office app.
    Trash the com.microsoft.word.plist first.
    If that doesn't work trash the com.microsoft.office.plist
    PS What does yesterday have to do with PDFs not working?
    Something change?

  • Set The Secured Files, Not allow printing and saving to another location

    Dear Sir / Madam,
    Please help...
    Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
    Thanks,
    Alex Tai

    Hi Alex,
    Possible to set the security permission for share files, not allow end users to printing and saving a PDF to another location.
    Based on my tests, users can save the document with only Read permission, which is by design. If you don’t want users to print files, please do not give the print permissions on printers.
    Best Regards,
    Amy

  • Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

    Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either.  I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

    I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today.  Both times it said "Software Missing!"  and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer."  But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above.  In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state.  Everything appears to work fine at this point.  Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step."  I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
    I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it.  I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics.  Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ."  I continued the installation without connecting to the printer.  Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

  • Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files

    Custom "Save as PDF" directly to a destination folder overwrites previously saved PDF files
    As many of you will know, within Mac OSX it is possible to "print" any document off as a PDF.  You simply prepare your document then invoke the "Print" command and in the resulting print dialog box, click the "PDF" button in the bottom left corner which spills out a menu with various options including "Save as PDF..." as shown in the image below:
    Selecting the last option "Edit Menu" permits users to add specific folders to which a PDF of the document will be saved.  As you will note from the image above, I have created a number of destinations such as "Bank Transfers" (for anything on screen in Safari I wish to preserve when using my on-line banking facility); "Bind" (which I use with an Automator workflow to consolidate many PDFs into one long document); "Officeworks" (for stuff I need to copy to a USB stick and have printed on on large plotters); "iPad" (for anything I need to put on my iPad through "iAnnotate" or "Documents") etc
    The problem I have discovered is that with the introduction of Mountain Lion, PDFs that get saved directly to a destination folder get overwritten by later versions of PDFs that are produced from the same document.  This is fine when working on a single document that you may want to have the latest print of a document but not so when you produce many different PDFs from the same browser window in Safari as you surf through a number of websites etc.
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious versions were never over-written but rather preserved them with new versions having version number suffixes added e.g., untitled.pdf, followed by untitled1.pdf, untitled2.pdf, untitled3.pdf etc.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? (other than a workaround like switching to Finder to rename or move files around)

    The "Save to Web Receipts" bug existed for a long time - here's a MacOSXHints article offering a workaround in 2007.  Here's another reference to it in 2009.  Your contention that:
    Prior to Mountain Lion, pervious [sic] versions were never over-written.
    is, I'm afraid, wrong.
    Apple fixed (worked around) that bug by using a .pdfworkflow, as I indicated.  As I also indicated, this file can't be opened with Automator (or I just don't know how, which is no great surprise ).  But it's the answer to your problems.
    You can either wait for Apple to fix what is, admittedly, a huge bug in their PDF Services feature, or you can find a way of implementing the same fix they did for your own folders.
    I should be doing the same, as I use PDF Services regularly, but I'm too lazy and have had too little success with Automator in general to give it a shot.  You may have more success than I did.
    Good luck

  • I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file re

    I am getting messages that I can't download and read .pdf files since I have the wrong Adobe reader. I know about their security disasters of course, but I downloaded the latest version of Adobe Reader from the Adobe web site and I have other ,pdf file readers as well, and for some reason they won't work either. I have 5 computers running top end processors and RAM. By this I mean I have one, this one which I am using that has an AMD Phenom Black 3.2 Quad-core with 8 GBs of Corsair top DDR2 RAM, my other two AMD have either an Athlon II triple core with 4 GBs of DDR2 Corsair RAM, one with the Phenom X4 965 3.4 GHz Quad-core with 8 GBs of their best DDR2 RAM, and two Intels with the i7 920 Processors using the triple channel 1366 socket processors and one with 8 GBs of low latency DDR3 RAM and the other with 4 GBs of the same RAM. I am getting the message on this one, which has a fresh install of XP Pro X64 operating system, as do the other 4 as well. I have run Avast Business Pro Anti-virus on this one, which I am getting the message on with a single result which I deleted, and also both Spybot Search and Destroy, which came back clean as well as Malwarebytes Antimalware, which got a lot of tracing cookies now removed, and SuperAntiSpware which also found a few cookies also now deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to get these files to show as .pdf files rather than as a clean blank page. One other issue is that I wish to know how to turn off my downloads so they are saved and Mozilla will give me the option of returning them instead of me losing them all together as it does now. Thanks for your assistance. If there is another Adobe reader I should download and install, could you provide me with the link to it? I appreciate your assistance here
    == When I download and try to read a .pdf file and when I am asked to turn off all Firefox files and if I do, I lose them since I need to know how to save them without rebooting my computer.

    Brilliant! Problem solved! Thanks so much.

  • How to embed and open PDF files within excel

    I constantly need to embed PDF files onto Excel documents as well as extract/open/view PDF files from Excel documents. I am unable to do so with a macbook, i know that there is a workaround but it's such a tedious process. Is there a software i can buy or setting that i can do so that i can embed and open PDF files easily as i need to view these files multiple times a day for work.
    please advise

    Download and install Adobe Reader: Adobe Reader Install for all versions
    Open the PDF file using it. If security restrictions don't prevent it you could also print it.

  • How to set default to convert a document to a black and white pdf file?

    I have dozens of color Word files that I need to convert to black and white pdf files on a weekly cycle.  I figured out that I can do this for individual files by clicking "print", "properties", then choose the "paper/quality" tab, and then click on "black and white".  However, I cannot make the "black and white" selection permanent.  That is, the next file requires me to go through the same four-step process to convert a Word file to a black and white pdf file.  Any suggestions on how to make the "black and white" selection permenant?

    Sorry.  I forgot to mention that I am using Acrobat Adobe Pro 9.4.2.

  • How can i save my work pdf files and personal pdf files separately in my ipadmini

    Hi,
    I would like some help on separating my personal and work pdf files in my ipad. Currently i saved everything in ibook but find it unprofessional when i have to show my clients my work
    Is there any other way to save my work pdf files separately?
    trena.c

    If you still would like to use Ibooks you can add Collections. i.e.. work pdf's
    View your collections, add a new one.
    Now go to the pdf's you want to add to that collection and move them to the new collection you have just created.
    Hope this helps.

  • [Applet]Printing issue with pdf files on Xerox 4595

    Greetings !!
    I'm trying to print to a Xerox 4595 printer from a Windows XP station (limited account) using a Java Web Applet.
    This applet generates pdf files which have to be printed.
    The Xerox 4595 uses a printing queue that is detected by the Applet.
    The problem is the following: usually when printing a simple local file from this computer there is a box that asks you your login to let you create a job and then print.
    When using the Java Applet, there is no way to have this print box displayed. We have the Java Print Dialog but once clicked on "Print" there is no box displayed to pass the login to the printer and let us print.
    Is anyone already worked with Xerox 4595 and experienced such issue ?
    How can I, using the Java language and modify the Applet, ask the printer to send me the dialog box asking for the login ? Without this login no jobs are accepted and we can't print the generated pdf files.
    I looked on the printer queue settings and it seems that the Xerox uses the IPP to communicate with the local computers in the office.
    The server from which the Applet is used is a openSuSE Linux Web server (apache2)
    How come using Linux workstations any pdf files are printed (on shared printers such HP laserjet) and under windows there is jammed characters and sheet feed instead ?

    A lot can depend upon which app your are using on your tablet device, the same applies to computer programs but apps are much worse.
    Which app are you using?
    I would try the free Adobe Mobile Reader. This product seems to support more features than other apps.
    There could even be issues with the type of tablet you are using. The Apple line may work better then Android devices since there is QA check and approval by Apple.
    Another factor is the how the PDF was created.
    How well are the maps displayed on your laptop or desktop? Try different values of zoom.

  • Will not print anything but Pdf files!

    If I try to print anything at all other than a PDF file from Adobe only(other readers will not even work) very little of the page prints if anything at all. For example, I was trying to print a shipping label off of the website, and the only thing that would print was the barcode. Nothing else. I actually had to convert it to a pdf file and open it with Adobe, and then it printed perfectly. I have tried reinstalling, restarting, using the HP support doctor, which says absolutely nothing is wrong with my printer. I am at a loss to why it will only print pdf files from Adobe. Can anyone please help me?! I forgot to mention it worked perfectly about a month ago. We don't print a whole lot and didn't notice it was messed up until just a few days ago.

    Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that when printing from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Deskjet 1512 All-in-One Printer, nothing is printing, except Adobe PDF files. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, you indicate in your post that you had tried to print a shipping label from a website, and only the barcode prints. However, if you open the file up and print it from Adobe it appears to print fine. This leads me to believe that the actual issue that is occuring is a print system issue with the black cartridge. I know it may come as a surprise to hear that as Adobe is printing fine. However, when you print from certain programs on your computer the file is sent to the printer as an 'image' file. If your printer 'thinks' it is printing an image it will use a mixture of colour ink and black to print the black document. Therefore, what you may actually be seeing when you print from Adobe is colour ink mixed. To start troubleshooting I am going to have you print a Quality Diagnostics Report from your printer and this will help us to isolate this printing issue. Please follow the steps below.  How to Print a Quality Report: Load clean, white U.S. Letter or A4 paper in the input tray, if necessary.Press and hold the Power button. While holding down the Power button, press and hold the Cancel button. Hold them both down for 2 or 3 seconds.The test page prints. (1) Printed with the tri-colour cartridge(2) Printed with the black cartridge  If this Report prints perfectly: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is not being caused by your products print system. Rather, there may be a driver conflict occuring between your Windows computer and your printer. Please do not proceed with troubleshooting at this time.  If this Report prints with missing black or other quality issues: Then the printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your products print system. To resolve this hardware issue can I please have you click here. Once the support document opens please choose the Windows 8 dropdown. Next, follow the steps under Solution one, Solution five, Solution six, and Solution seven. This includes any sub steps under the listed Solutions to complete. Once troubleshooting has been completed please print another Quality Diagnostics Report to confirm if the issue has been resolved. Please respond to this post with the result of printing the Quality Diagnostics Report. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • I can't print a Adobe PDF file from the browser. Ignores print command.

    Nothing happens when trying to print PDF from browser. Print box doesn't pop up and does not go to Printer queue.

    None of the above solutions worked for me. I have Firefox 10.0.1 and Adobe Reader 9.5.0, and a pdf file would not print either from the Adobe print button or CTRL-P or the Firefox File, Print command. Firefox Print Preview just shows a blank screen. If I save the pdf file it prints OK from Adobe Reader.
