Printing Duplex Pages, Single Page, Hidden Page Question

I have an 8 page form where there are several forms in the following format
Page 1 - Single Sided
Page 2 and 3 - Double Sided
Page 4 - Single Sided
Page 5 and 6 - Souble Sided
Page 7 and 8 - Double Sided
What I would like to do is have those blank pages in the form hidden from the staff but to make them available for printing since we use our copy machines as printers and they print on both sides of the paper.
I'm attaching the form so anyone can see what I'm talking about.

Any help is appreciated

It's probably on their Printer setup. Sometimes if you set print for duplex then another Operator comes in and uses the same printer and assumes it's simplex printing it can print duplex or whatever the previous print setting was used.

Boolean Controls on a Hidden Page in a Tab Control

Hello everyone.
I am having some issues with a tab control in a fairly complex program put together by another (more experienced) developer. The basic setup for this tab control features several tabs to control various aspects of a system (motor setup, video setup, general parameters, etc.). Going to a specific tab and pressing Ctrl-F8 brings up a password prompt, which then displays the "Advanced" menu. The advanced menu is a hidden page within the same tab control. The advanced menu contains several Boolean controls that allow access to the various advanced setup features (these pages are also hidden pages on the same tab control), however, none of the Boolean controls are functioning. Clicking on the controls does not cause the buttons to appear pressed, either when running the program as a compiled executable, or while on the front panel of the VI in LabView. The hidden pages also appear as dark grey. I have confirmed that the same is true for all of the hidden pages within the tab control. I believe that my issue is with the version of LabView that I am using. The program was designed in 8.0, whereas I am currently using 8.2. I have not been able to find any references to such an issue between the versions, and I am somewhat at a loss as to how to correct it. Version 8.2 is the only version I currently have access to, otherwise I would use version 8.0, to see if that corrects the issue. Programs that were compiled previously by the original designer do function properly (hidden pages, when displayed, still appear dark grey), but even compiling the unmodified source code results in the same problems for me.
Any help that you could offer would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I would be addressing these problems with the original designer, but he is currently on vacation for a month and I wish to get this resolved.
Solved!

If a page in a tab control is hidden it will appear 'dark grey', and all of the controls on that page will behave as if they are disabled. If you 'right-click' on the page name, and select 'Advanded->Show page' it will turn light grey. Now you should be able to change the controls when the VI is not running. If the page is shown during operation and the controls still do not function they are probably disabled. You can check by 'right-clicking' on the control and going to 'Advanced -> Enabled State'. Also it is possible that they are disabled programatically using a property node.
I am leaning towards this as the issue, at the moment. I just find it very odd that the controls work in the 8.0 compiled program, but not my 8.2 compiled version.
I will have to show/hide each page when it is accessed/left.

Duplex printing switches to single page at a certain point in pdf file

Hi everyone,
I have combined about ten separate pdf files into one complete pdf file for a client. The problem is that when they print the file using duplex printing, they're saying that at a particular point in the document it switches to single page printing instead of duplexing all the way through. It seems to be switching to this single page printing at the start of a particular section, ie. I mentioned that I had combined separate pdf files into the one document and it switches to the single pages where one of these separate documents start. I went back to the original Indesign file relating to this document and noticed that when I pdf this I can see the following in the range field that I assume is related to section numbering as the document contains sections:
Range: +1-+12
The other pdfs that were used to create the combined file also have sections but the abovementioned numbering doesn't appear in the Range section like the problematic pdf I mentioned above.
Can someone tell me why the duplexing stops at this certain point? Does it have something to do with the section numbering as explained above? Also, I have tried to reproduce the issue from my end but mine is printing it perfectly well, i.e it duplexes all the way through, so could it be an issue with their printer or some setting they have? Or can I fix it somehow from my end by manipulating the original indesign file that has the sections?
Really appreciate any help.

Duplex printing prints first page single sided

When I print duplex on Adobe Reader (odd # of pages) it always prints the first page single sided. How do I change it so that the last page prints single sided?

I've got a Brother MFC J6510DW, so it doesn't seem like a printer problem.
It works normally when I print from other programs as well, which makes it even more annoying.

I have a Mac Air.. with 10.10 and just purchased a HP laserjet pro M201dw .. I can't get it to print duplex in pages or word. In pages not highlighted. does in Adobe for pdf. Help!

I have a Mac Air with 10.10 . Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer. I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages. It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro. It won't for emails. In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed. I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting. In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked. Need help. Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
Appreciate help in solving this issue.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have. How can I see and print all without clicking on the

I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create). How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button. In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document. This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

Prints only a few pages when I print duplex.

I'm on a Apple MacBookPro running Mac OS X 10.7.5 using Adobe Reader 11.0.2, current as of 01-March-2013, and I noticed that I'm having problems printing duplex with an Toshiba eStudio 351c copier. I have a 50 page document that I want to print duplex but I only get three pages before it stops. I print the same document using Apple Preview and I could print all 50 pages duplex no problem. I have tried this with three different systems; Mac Pro ruuning 10.7.5, MacBookPro 10.6.8; all these are Adobe Reader 11.0.2 with different Toshiba print drivers and they both only print three before it stop so my thinking it has to do something with Adobe Reader 11.0.2.
I tested duplex Adobe Reader 10.1.6 and 9.5.4 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and it had no problems with duplex printing.
Does anyone else experience this issue with printing duplex with Adobe Reader 11.0.2 on Apple Mac OS X 10.6/7 and is there way to fix or will Adobe fix this possible issue?
Thank you in advanced.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?

Adobe Reader 11.0.07 defaults to duplex printing. Is there a way to set the default to leave that "print to both sides of the page" box unchecked?
I am working on an end-user's computer, I just updated to the newest Adobe Reader and they don't ever print duplex. I want to be able to have the "print to both sides" box unchecked on the print dialog by default. Is there a way to do this? I have the printer settings all set to 1-sided but it is adobe print dialog settings that keep messing it up.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Have you tried repairing Reader and checked?
Does this issue occur only on this machine or are you facing the issue with other computers as well which have updated to Reader 11.0.10?

How do I match the printed pdf page breaks with the page breaks from the online form?

The online form is setup to be 4-5 separate pages...each page going to a different person/group when it is printed in a pdf. However, when the form is printed, it prints out all the blanks and the forms are off by about a half page.
Is there any way to not print the blank spaces (I have several boxes hidden based on choices of the user), and to make the printed pdf honor the online page breaks?

Hi;
When you are viewing the "Design" while authoring your form there is a "View" setting that you can access from the "View" menu along the top right, or from the dropdown at the bottom right corner, if you change from "Web View" to "Page View" you can add page breaks there that will affect the PDF.
Page View is an authoring view to design for PDF where Web View is an authoring View to design for web/browser/HTML forms. You can use both so that your form looks good in both web and PDF. Some features have to be added/edited in Web View because they are not supported in PDF such as Attatchments and Skip/Page logic, those are not available to add/edit in Page View. The Page Breaks added in Web View are not used in the PDF, in Page View "Implicit page breaks" are added automatically based on the size of the page in PDF and you can add "Explicit page breaks" using the form field toolbar as you did in Web View (which will only be used in the PDF).
When you ask if there is any way not to print the "blank spaces" you are referring to the questions that had remained hidden based on skip logic right? At this time the entire form is saved/printed to PDF, there is not an option to omit those hidden fields.
I hope that I understood your issue correctly, let me know if I can help further.
Thanks,
Josh

Printing a project with about 500 pages

Hello,
the company I'm working for is currently discussing using robohelp for the technical documentation. So now I'm trying to find out, if robohelp really suits our needs or not. Currently I'm testing robohelp 9 on a windows xp system with word 2010.
In the documentation for robohelp it says, that one should not print documents with more than 100 pages. So I tried to print separate documents, but couldn't generate a suitable TOC - the result was simply a document, stating, that a TOC couldn't be generated, which won't be a acceptable output. My question is: how can I generate a TOC though printing several small chapters of the document?
Or is it possible to print a project with about 500 pages without using those single documents?
(Up till now, it was no problem for me, to generate a suitable printing documentation, but I'm not sure, if this will still work, when the project is complete and then contains about 500 pages.)

Hi Feebeegeebee,
thanks a lot for your answer!
Well, I tried to generate individual documents by using the flag "individual documents" in the printing config... but then the TOC is printed separately and therefore doesn't contain anything at all...
If you're generating those separate documents, then how do you get a suitable TOC? (Especially if you don't intend to make different books and therefore the pages should be numbered as if they would all belong to the same document). And what about the links... do they still work if one part of it is generated in a different document?

ADOBE: How to print a table only on uneven pages and a text on the back?

Hi, I am looking for a clear document on how to use pagination and the Odd and Even pages.
We need to print a table over several pages, but the table should only appear on Odd pages. The even pages should be skipped. On the even (back) pages we need to print "Terms and Conditions". Is that possible? Can it be done without scripting?
We are using ADOBE version 8.1
In the file properties, double sided is switched on, and version set to 8.1 and higher.
I created two Master pages, a FrontPage with ContentArea1and a BackPage with ContentArea2.
FrontPage is used for uneven pages, BackPage is used for the even pages. The masterpages are printed correctly (alternating properly).
One page was created for the table, totals etc.:
ITEMS: contains item data (table with header and footer). Place is "On Odd Page". After "Goto page BackPage", so there is always one page with the text. And if the table needs to be paginated it goes to BackPage with overflow leader "Conditions".
What should happen is that on the front pages the item table is printed. If there are too many lines then it should continue on page number 3 then 5 etc. All the even pages should display text only.
What actually happens is that the item table also gets printed in the content area for the Condition text...
The best I could achieve is to decrease the contenta area of the back page. To force pagination. But still it prints one table record in the (very small) content area of the back page before paginating to the next page (front page again). If it only would not do that, it would be fine.
Cheers,
Edwin.

Fixed it... After a lot of creating, deleting, playing around with pagination and the inevitable cursing...
I have created 5 pages:
1. FirstPage
     - Odd/Even: Odd (Front) Pages
     - Placement: First page (In page set)
2. FrontPage (For Odd pages)
     - Odd/Even: Odd/Front Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
3. BackPage (For Even pages)
     - Odd/Even: Even (Back) Pages
     - Placement: Rest of Pages
4. LastPage
     - Odd/Even: No Odd/Even Restrictions
     - Placement: Last page (In page set)
5. DummyPage
     - Odd/Even: Blank pages
The 'Terms and conditions' are located on the BackPage and LastPage (as a text).
The table that is printed is (of course) located on a normal page (flowed subform).
Pagination tab: Placement = Following previous, and After = "Continue filling parent". No overflow... Basically, it's all default.
The table lines will now start on the first page and if there are more lines than can be printed on this page, it will continue in the next content area. That will be on the FrontPage.
The trick is that each master page must have a content area (mandatory). Except for Blank pages, but these cannot be used... Blank pages would only be used once, after the first page.
What I discovered is that you can drag a content area away from the Master page and attach it to a different master page.
Logically, if there is no content area on a page, then data cannot be printed there. So, I created a Dummypage. On this page I dumped the content areas from the LastPage and the BackPage. As a result, content cannot be printed anymore on the back of pages. Only the standard text (a text field) is printed there. When the data from the table is overflowing, it will automatically overflow from the FirstPage to the next content area. Which is located on the FrontPages only.
The DummyPage is NOT used anywhere.
The result is that the records can only be printed on the content areas that exist on the First and Front pages. The back pages are now skipped.
Duplex printing is now working correctly, and the text is printed on the back of all the pages.
Cheers,
Edwin.

How to print the Actual Check on 1st Page if line items are more for F110_p

Hi,
How to print the Actual Check on 1st page if the line items are more in F110_PRENUM_CHCK script. The standard script is printing at the last page of line items.
I tried using
IF &PAGE& EQ '1 '
/E 545 --> text element
ENDIF
but it is of no use.
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Krishna,
I guess, there is no other possible way to acheive this without modifying the standard driver program. Why because? in you driver program you check window will be called only on the last page... but before you change your driver program give a try like shown below....
Not sure, but give a try... In the first page you will be printing some void check try to replace the code inside the text element of void check with original check and make all the check void... note: in this text element, be sure you write two conditions...
IF &PAGE& = 1.
**PRint all check values..
ELSE.
***Print void values
ENDIF.
Close the thread if your question is answered.
