Printing PDF brochure from Preview and only graphics print, no text

Spent 30 minutes on the phone with Lexmark. They said with Windows, you would select "Print as Image" under the advanced printing dialogue. I don't see anything like this in MacOS. If I save the PDF as a PNG, then open the PNG in Preview, it prints fine.

I also had this "no text"-problem with a Lexmark C530dn when printing some PDFs from Preview on 10.5.2. The problematic PDFs all were datasheets and papers I downloaded from sources like SAP. I installed the newest version (2.0) of the C530 printer driver, but it did not help.
Using "Generic Postscript Printer" works, but I loose duplex printing, for example. But printing the documents from Adobe Reader 8.1.2 works, too, and I can use the Lexmark driver and have duplex printing etc.

Inconsistencies Printing pdf's in preview and adobe reader

Hey, we have been having a lot of trouble recently printing pdf's, the quality varies depending on the app we print with.
Preview seems to give the best results where as Adobe Reader seems to make text pixelated as tho there is no anti-aliasing going on.
We would switch to using Preview only in some cases we are finding it dos not display the pdf's correctly e.g. there are random lines draw round text and things like that!
Any help would be great, we are using an OKI C5600 if that is any help.

Select a PDF file in a Finder window and click the More Info button; the pop-up information will let you specify the app it should be opened with, and allow you to click "change all" to use the same app for other files of the same type.

Troubleshooting problems with printing PDF's from Revit and Cad files

I am unable to print a readable pdf from AutoCad and Revit. Any Suggestions? I do not have problems with Microsoft or Adobe products..Just AutoCad. I have already spoken with my AutoCad dealer and they concluded it was an Adobe issue.

How was the PDF file created? With the Adobe plug-in to AutoCAD?
If you can provide some samples, we could look at the files and determine the problem. And FWIW, I doubt that your AutoCAD dealer has the competence to conclude where the problem is with a PDF file.

Can't Print PDF Consistently from Preview Application

I am running OS 10.3.9 and Preview 2.1.0. I have downloaded a PDF file that has 16 pages. I have tried to print the document to my LaserWriter 16/600PS and HP 2510 PhotoSmart All-in-One printers. I can't get pages to print consistently. If I select "all", I may get only the first page. If I select a specific page, I don't get that page...maybe page 1 or nothing. The printer hangs in the "processing" mode. I also try to print from the "Print Preview" view in Print dialog window (not from the main Preview window), but can't get consistent results. Is this possibly because the PDF was an Adobe Acrobat file and Preview doesn't handle the pagination correctly when it was opened? I don't want to have to use Acrobat Reader if I don't have to.

Printing PDF files from Preview without annotations

I've annotated a bunch of PDFs in preview, but I would like to print them out without any annotations. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Print the originals, sans markup. Or, if you didn't save them with a different name, remove the annotations from a copy, and then print.

Printing problem with PDF graphs from preview

Whenever I print PDF files from preview or from safari, some graphs print incorrectly, although they are displayed correctly on the screen. This only happens with black and white figures and either a negative image with the black and white are reversed is printed or the background of the graphic just prints as a black box. Colour elements are unaffected. This doesn't happen when printing the same files using Adobe Reader or Adobe Professional. Any suggestions for tweaking this, or am I going to have to start using the Adobe plugins instead?

Please try it on Adobe Reader version 10.1.0 , Please note that this forum is for Adobe Reader on android and not for PDF Viewer.

LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen. Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all. The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference. I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem). What am I doing wrong?

The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

hi i can't seem to copy and paste pdf files from preview to a microsoft word document. it always comes up with nonsense characters in the word document. how do i fix this? thanks in advance

Hi,
The quickest way to do this (tested with OS 10.8.2, MS Word 2011) is in one line:
tell application "Microsoft Word" to close every document whose name begins with "book"
The reason why your script doesn't work is that you aren't specifying to Word which document you want it to close.
So, changing one line ought to do it:
close document incrementvalue -- instead of "close document"
But... when you close a document, you change the document count. Document 2 becomes document 1, document 3 becomes document 2 etc. So eventually you'd get a message saying "The object you are trying to access doesn't exist".
Because of this, if you want to do it in a repeat loop, you have to work backwards:
tell application "Microsoft Word"
set doc_count to count documents
repeat with x from doc_count to 1 by -1
if name of document x begins with "book" then close document x
end repeat
end tell
Hope this helps.

Printing of PDF files from Unix and Linux

Artifacts when printing .pdf created from publisher

I have some documents in microsoft Publisher 2007, i need them to be converted to pdf to send to people and for them to be able to print them. but when i convert them to pdf i loose a lot of quality all the sharp edges become blockey and fuzzy and then when i go to print one of these documents i get artifacts around the graphics and the back ground on some pictures that should be coming up white comes out a light blue.
i have set the conversion to the highest level quality and this helps the fuzzyness alittle but i still get the artifacts
any one know why this is happening?

This is what happened to me:
We are doing a job for someone that uses Publisher. They gave us some PDF files saved out of Publisher with a Microsoft addin that lets you publish as PDF and has a preset for a 'commercial press'. I had a look at the files, checked all elements were CMYK, checked resolution of images, checked that text was black only, printed off a digital proof, and before we printed the job did a high end ripped proof. All looked fine.
We printed the job and all looked OK, some of the blacks weren't that great though, but still acceptable.
The next day the ink had dried and all areas in images that were supposed to be black were an insipid grey colour, compared to the bits around them that were for example 100C 100M. What had happened is that Publisher had performed some extreme under-colour removal, so that anything black was 100K only and appeared weak, but the gradients leading up to it were multi colour and so appeared much stronger. Of course now when we look at a separation proof we can see what was happening, but unless you check that, you just have to 'know' that you can't use that method of printing from Publisher. Proofs and Press-pass looks fine, but once dry.... It's an expensive experience for us, as we're reprinting the job for no extra, because it hasn't come out like the proofs we supplied.

No longer possible to save or print PDF files from browsers

I am suddenly having a problem saving or printing PDF files from the browser, but it extends to all browsers in OS X. I can view the PDF normally but if I try to print as PDF all it shows is two black pages. Then if I try to save as a PDF it tells me the document could not be exported. I just tried this with a PDF and the only way I could get it was via Windows running on Parallels. I've already tried resetting the printer by removing and adding it again with the alt key pressed but this made no difference.
This all started about a week or so ago and I just ignored it at first thinking it was something wrong with a particular file but now it's happening in all cases. I'm running the latest 10.7.3 on a new Mac Pro and everything is up to date. Does anybody know what might be causing this?
Thanks
Ashley

I'm unable to print pdf files from certain web sites. I have just changed to Mavericks

i'm unable to print pdf file from certain web site. I just changed over to Mavericks.

You will need to access that PDF on your computer first, before you can print it — unless that PDF is corrupted, which occasionally happens. Your printer needs to be configured and working.
Default PDF web-browser plug-in in Safari, latest (Firefox/Chrome) also built-in.
Click on the remote PDF link to open in browser
On Mavericks, you will need to click through security challenges for the PDF
File menu > Print
Right-click on remote PDF file and then choose Download Linked File As...Open that file in /Applications/Preview.appFile > print
Adobe Reader 11.0.04 PDF plug-in
Same security challenges on Mavericks as first bullet
With PDF imaged in browser, either select print icon from the plug-in toolbar, or mouse over the bottom one inch of displayed document and you will see a printer icon in the popup toolbar. Use that.
