Printing File Needing Flattening

I recevied a PDF file from my accountant andd when I printed it, it took a very long time due to each page needed to be flattened (printing on an inkjet and also to a printer driver that created a new PDF file). It took about 1/2 hour to print a 30 page document.
I was at the accountant's office and mentioned this. He brought up waht he said was the same file and it printed without any delays (printed on a HP Laser printer).
Just curious as to why this discrepancy.

Which platform, Thor?

Disk Full problem, likely related to extraneous printing files - need help!

I won't go into all the details, but have noticed that over the past couple of months, I've been losing space from my internal 500gb drive at surprising clips. After hard disk full warnings recently, eliminated about 50gb by dumping to dvds. Surprisingly, then again this weekend, hard disk full warnings.
Using 10.3.9 to search for files over a certain size, e.g., 100MB, I was still baffled at why my disk was full, as there weren't enough large files to justify filling up the 500gb (couldn't figure out how to do a search by folder size that gave meaningful results). Decided to do a backup to my 500 gb external HD using SilverKeeper v1.1.3, and noticed that there are thousands or tens of thousands of files in the path HD/Previous Systems/var/tmp/xxxxxxxxxxx. not sure of the number of digits but many have numbers like 490ca.....or 490d03f......(since I've been looking, it looks like all start with the 490..., but vary after that, although might not be watching closely enough). After about 50gb of new data was copied, I aborted the copy operation.
Other observations: oddly enough appears the vast majority (at least the ones I was looking at being copied) are at the same size of 2.322 MB or 184KB. Also, took me awhile to figure out, but these are hidden files. When I search using the finder for invisible files with the name "490" I get results of over 17000 files (less than number of files copied using SilverKeeper) and the file sizes are 2.2MB or 184KB (maybe these are the same due to rounding). These are identified in the path HD/private/var/tmp/490xxxxx..... these appear to be different than what I observed during the HD copying (again, I wasn't looking the whole time). Almost all of these 17k+ files were written during 8 hours on Nov. 1, 2008 - looks like dozens per minute, and when I select all, get info, amount to over 20.44 GB, so maybe still not all the files I saw in my aborted copy operation. All of these files appear to be of the "Document" kind. at the end of this post are excerpts from some of the files. Appear to be related to pdf printing.
I cant' tell where all these files are, what they are, or how they got there. I've reviewed a bunch of the articles on discussion boards, and can't find any direct solutions (at least that would appear to help with this situation). Of course I simply want to delete these apparently duplicative and meaningless files. Any help appreciated!

Hi Peter,
Why these temporary files are being created I don't know, but there is some malfunction in your printing system (software side).
Have you tried simply trashing those files from the Finder, or do you think there are too many of them to do it manually?
_Manual method:_
Open Finder > Go > Go to folder, and type in
/var/tmp
Then you can select them in groups and drag them to the trash.
You will be asked for your Admin password each time you move some to the trash.
Every so often empty your trash, to regain the space.
Another method is to use the Terminal Application, but some people are a bit wary of that application. Ask for directions if you are willing to try that.
Having removed those files, monitor your printing, or save as .pdf actions, and check again that folder in Finder to try and locate which action or process is responsible for creating those runaway temporary files there, because they are likely to be created again.

How to merge 2 pdf forms into one print file ?

I have been using Adobe forms for a year or so. Now I have the need to merge together 2 PDF print files into 1 within the same ABAP program before writing the file to my server. To be more exect, I am talking the output coming from structure FPFORMOUTPUT-PDF. Does anyone out there have some input for me on this issue ? Regards, Stuart.

I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.) It happens for about 10 of 30/40 files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn

I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.

How do I print a disk-saved HP Officejet 6500 printer file?

This morning I did not have any ink in my black HP 920 ink cartridge - so I saved a print ready document as a printer file on my hard drive. I now have a new ink cartridge in my HP Officejet 6500 Wireless printer. How do I print the disk file - if there is any way to load it to the printer "documents" printing file in Windows 7 - What name does it need to have - how long can the name be and how do I load the file to print in "documents" or just plain print the document? Whatever help can be provided - I'll appreciate!

You could try creating 'paper' the size of the #12 envelope, and try that possibly.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I am Sorry I dont understand why you are moving the data into a binary format conversion.
Is there any particular thing which makes you to do so? If so, Please explain.
Instead have you try to convert them into Xstring and then into String. By doing so. If any special characters or any special symbols or anything. the system wont give any error. instead it is a easy method also.

Will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file

My HP photosmart premium with wireless ePrint, will not print files from mobile phone says it **may have** a virus- and deletes the file?!? My Fiance has the same phone, and I used it. It completed the file??? If I text message and E-mail address, my cell phone will come up as and E-mail address... has anyone else had this issue? Is it because I texted the the file? It didn't seem to be and issue on any of the other mobile phones used.... I am out of answers.... I tried to E-mail as well...
Thanks in advance

I have nearly the same problem, the printer discards my print job even when i have entered my email address as authorised senders.
Details from my other post:
I sent 2 emails to the printer:
- one is a 3 lines of text and numbers in a GIF file sent as an attachment
- another is a jpg circuit diagram paste in a word doc sent as an attachment
both are classified as spam and refused to print. i have no email coming back saying it failed (even i have checked "Email Job Status" in ePrint Settings.
So what will this HP printer print?
How can I switch this useless spam filter off?
I have get this filter off! I need this email printing to work reliably, that is a major reason I bought this printer
Any suggestions are welcomed...

"Now you can print from virtually anywhere" (but get discarded every single time!)

Missing fonts/printing files

Hi there,
Does anyone can give some advise? About why I am getting a messages on my screen when I am saving a Illustrator file, saying that I am missing two fonts.
- I have tried to convert the text into outlines, but even though, is still showing me the messages of the missing fonts.
-In the other hand, the printer in order to avoid the same problem, is asking for the next information:
Please, send us the printing files (this is to say, all the information that our supplier needs to print the packs)
Since we have got a part of this information (pdf attached), our supplier needs a file with the types to prepare the printing process.
The fonts required are : FrutigerLTCom-BoldCn and RilloHeavy
Any ideas?

well the font is not allow to be embedded unfortunately
- I am using the CS6
- My type fo file is Adobe Illustrator Artwork 16.0
- I am missing the fonts when I am saving as a PDF file.I have been told that for them is easy to check the file in this way. Do you think I should change the way that I am saving it?
Thanks

Anyone out there have an idea on how to solve an "Empty print file!" error?

I am trying print to a Lexmark C543 network printer from a PowerPC G5 (running 10.5.7). Prior to receiving the error message (Empty print file!) the print queue displays the following messages: “Looking for Lexmark C543” and then “The printer is now on-line”.
Now there is a twist, I can successfully print test pages, pdf files (only using Adobe Reader 9.1.2, not the Apple Preview application), and image files (only using Adobe Lightroom 2.4, not the Apple Preview application). If I try and print a webpage using Safari (4.0.1) or Word document using Word:MAC 2008 version 12.1.9 it will error out, unless I print it to a PDF and then reopen the file via Adobe Reader.
Here are the actions I have already tried, and didn’t work?
- Removed and installed printer (both via GUI and CUPS)
- Reset printer system
- Verify Disk (no problems found)
- Repaired Disk Permissions
- Removed/renamed all files I could find in Library and System relating to C543
- Downloaded and installed new driver
- Called Lexmark, “3rd Level support looked at the issue and the log and they concluded that it's a problem with the OS.”
Below is an excerpt from the CUPS error log that might shed some further light on the subject.

PaHu,
Thank you for welcoming me to Apple Discussions as well as explaining what you saw in the log.
I downloaded and ran the 10.5.7 Combo updater, but unfortunately it did not resolve my empty print file error.
Print Therapy (version 6.0.5) you suggested (and I downloaded) looked very promising. Unfortunately it too did not resolve my empty print file error. I have included the Print Therapy log below in hopes it will shed more light on the problem. The Print Therapy log stated: "You may need to reinstall OS X to resolve your printing issues." I am assuming this is probably because of the three missing files/directories it found.
Please let me know what my next steps should be, and if I should reinstall Leopard. If I have to reinstall Leopard is it possible to just install on top of the existing version without loosing or destroying the files (documents, images, etc.) we created?
Thanks again for all your help!
Brian

Best SAP Security Practices Print,file,job schedule, archiving

Hello All, i would like to know in your experience which will be the best practices for Security for this list below:
- Printer security (especially check printing)
- File path security for export/import
- Best Practice for Job Schedule and Spool file
- Archiving process (I can't think of any specific to security, other than Security Audit Logs)
Are there any special transactions/system settings/parameters that must be on place in order to hard SAP Systems?
Do you have any documentation related?
I mean for example Job, spool i think user must just only run heir own jobs,and se their own works for printing, is there a paremeter to athenticate Prints/user, etc.
Please let me know your comments about those related issues.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
PFCG_TIME_DEPENDENCY
This is best to run once a day mostly after 12.01 am as it removes the roles which are invalid for current date. As role assignment is on date basis there is no advantage of running it hourly.
/VIRSA/ZVFATBAK
This is for GRC 5.3, and this job is to collect FFID logs from backend to GRC repository, so if you have frequent FFID usage you can schedule it hourly or for every 30 min too, if you have enough bandwidth in your server to get the latest log report. or else you can have it scheduled for twice a day too, so it is purely based on your need.
Hope this helps.

I give up! Can I send someone the ID CS3 file and print file for Help

I have done everything I possibly can (given I am no where near expert), and can not figure this printing out.
I have a food menu that is on 11 x 17 (will be tri fold) ID file with a border. The border is a "Placed" PSD file into a separate ID layer.
Even though it looks perfect on the screen, I can not get it to print properly using an Epson Stylus 1400 series printer (wide body).
The border does not print correctly.
I can (and will if you want), print the menu to a file and send it to someone (along with the ID CS3 file and PSD file) to see if someone can tell me what stupid things I am doing.
I also believe I can print to a file, then bring the printed file up on the screen and do a Snagit Screen Grab to upload to pixentral.com If this is possible, you will see how the border did not print correctly. I would also take a screen grab of the ID CS3 menu file so you can see how the border is perfect.
I am hoping someone with a wide body printer can load 11 x 17 paper and try to see what I am doing wrong. I am printing it on 11 x 17, landscape, centered borderless stock and it looks good in preview mode.
Any and all help would be appreciated. At least I don't have those OOLLM phantom lines like I did on my last plea for help.

Hmmm.
Looking at the last picture, I see what is going to be a bit of a problem for you, I think. Do you really have a thin red line around the outside of the yellow border?
Here's how bleeds work, and why they are set up the way they are. Printing, and more importantly, trimming, is done on mechanical equipment. Paper sizes may or may not be entirely uniform in a stack, or there may be minor alignment issues when jogging the stack, or there may be dust build-up, or any number of other little things that conspire to keep a stack of prints from being 100% perfectly aligned with each other, or a cutter setting may be off by a few thousandths of an inch making the trim larger than intended. In such cases there is a possibility that color intended to run all the way to the edge of the page may in fact stop short of the trimmed edge, leaving the paper showing.
To hide this, and that's all you are doing, hiding misalignments, areas of color at the edge of the page are extended beyond the page boundary, typically 1/8" in the US, so that the excess color will fill what would otherwise be a blank area after trimming. InDesign Allows you to set up a "Bleed Area" in the document setup, which adds a colored guide around the page for easy reference, and also allows you to check the "use Bleed Area" checkbox in the print dialog so you don't need to specify it manually.
Now for why that narrow red line is a problem, if it is really there. Printing presses typically can maintain sheet to sheet registration that is very accurate, but desktop printers are often off by as much as 1/16" in either direction from sheet to sheet. Further, there can be some paper stretching during the printing process, and the aforementioned dust build-up or slight errors in cutter setup, which can cause the paper to be trimmed slightly inside the intended mark. Also consider that if the paper is cut outside the mark on one edge, it will be cut the same distance inside on the opposite side.
So, if you have a thin line on the edge of the page, you need to be very accurate in both sheet-to-sheet registration AND in cutter setup or you risk cutting off the line on one or two edges completely, and leaving more than you planned on the opposite edges. The thinner the border is, the greater the risk of cutting it off, and the more small differences in position will show. (The difference between 1/16 and 1/8 is much more obvious than the difference between 1/16 and 3/8 )
As a corollary, jobs that bleed need to have a safe zone, or "live area" that is smaller than the page dimension by at least the amount of the bleed allowance all around so that trimming at the outside of the bleed on one edge doesn't end up cutting off something important on the opposite edge. The easiest way I can think of to visualize this is to think of trimming as if you were putting an open frame the finished size on top of the print, and you move it around so that the hole exposes more on one edge while hiding the opposite edge the same amount.

Reader refuses to print files on a flash drive...

Hi folks
Hoping someone might have a solution to this strange situation.
It started when Acrobat Reader suddenly and for no clear reason started saying that I need to install a printer in order to print a file.Only a few moments earlier, everything had been printing ok. I researched and decided to update Reader to XI as well as uninstalling and reinstalling printers.
Since then I have come to the conclusion that generally, but not always, Reader will not print a .pdf if it's on my flash drive. I simply have to copy the file to my hard drive and it will allow me to print it. Clearly, I don't want to have to do this every time and would rather have a solution.
So in summary, are there any ideas how I can get it to print files that are on my flash drive without it coming up with the 'you need to install a printer' message?

The camera connection kit can only read files that are of video or photos. And they must follow a very specific naming convention. They must be in a folder called DCIM and must have file names of only 8 characters or numbers.
You cannot read document or text or powerpoint or music files via the CCK.
In addition to this, the USB part of the CCK does have very specific power requirements. Some USB sticks do work. Some don't. Those with large LED lights trigger the 'too much power' warning. As do those like Kingston or Sandisk that have preinstalled software also trigger the too much power warning.
I have gotten a 4 gig flash drive to work, also a 32 gig CF card. But it does only work for videos or photos.
