Printing saved to memory_print at a later moment

I need to print a lot of documents for record keeping, and sometimes I am somewhere in which my printer isn't available.
Is there a way or an application to handle saving printouts in a memory, to which I could later then execute a physical printing action once I am connected to a printer as such.
The idea will be to have items printed like to PDFs and then saved in some place to which you could basically then just go to when you are connected to the printer, and command to print all of said items.
perhaps a workflow or something similar could do it in a automatic way, without having to go into each pdf file and hit print.
If there is an app for it, then it will be perfect as well.

If you hit print when you are not connected to the printer, it will go into the queue, which will be paused. When you are connected to the printer, you can resume the printer and it will print then.
You might want to have the printer remain in the dock to facilitate pausing and resuming it. You can do this by choosing that option when the printer appears in the dock.

Report prints Saved Data not Refreshed Data

We were running VS 2005 and using the Basic CR 2005 Basic that comes with it. We upgraded to use CR 2008 and found MANY issues after we went live in production that were apparent in the development. This has caused a lot of stress with us as well as our users. Iu2019ll summarize everything we found, possible workarounds and the open issues including the Printing/Loading of Saved Data.
First, it was reported that printing changed. It turns out when PrintMode = u2018PDFu2019 (default setting) it now asks after you choose u2018EXPORTu2019 (use to be u2018OKu2019) that it asks to Open or Save the Adobe. When our customers were running 20 some reports at a time and we had hundreds of users, this became a nuisance for the heavy reporting users and a training issue in general for us. With research, I found that we can change the PrintMode to be u2018ActiveXu2019. This was much better when we were testing. However, in Production it became a nightmare. If the user is on a Domain that disallows itu2019s user from installing software or if the user has tight security settings, this became a nightmare.
The second thing reported was that it was exporting to the wrong format. It was exporting into RPT format. It turns out with CR2008, it automatically defaults to RPT and the new pop-up, doesnu2019t isnu2019t clear to the user they even have a choice (the pop-up is much prettier, but it doesnu2019t look like a dropdown anymore). In addition, they reported it was taking twice as long to export (we think it was related to export file type now). With CR2005 Basic, it would have no default selection and if the user didnu2019t pick one, it would remind them they need to pick one. After much research, I found there is no way to customize the operation of the export without writing my own export. My users 90% of the time want to export to PDF and Excel the rest of the time. Since we arenu2019t using a CR Server like product, they NEVER will do RPT. There is no way with CR2008 to limit this list or to default the File Format. So now, if they forget to select the type, they get the wrong file format instead of being reminded to select one. Since the new pop-upu2019s dropdown selection isnu2019t easily apparent, this was a BIG issue for us. Since I have close to 300 reports on 7 websites, this will be a lot of work for me to write my own code and change all the ASPX page to use my own control.
The third thing reported was that the default name on Exporting was changed. Export uses the ID property of the Crystal Report Viewer as the default name of a file on export. When it replaced the viewer on all our pages, it set the ID to CrystalReportViewer1 instead of preserving the original ID. We now have to go back and change them to what we wanted manually. BEAWRE of this! For our power users who wanted to export 40 reports they now have type the name in manually on all of them. What took minutes now takes over an hour for them to do, until we can fix all the pages.
Now it was reported that some reports are showing OLD data. It turns out there shows Saved Data from design time. In our site, we have a parameter page which getu2019s user selected parameters, save to a session and then load the report page using the session variables, and then redirect them to the report page which on page load we set the reports parameters. We use the CrystalReportSource using ODBC. The report has all the connection information. Well if the user happens to select the same parameters I used at design time, it wonu2019t pull the data from the database. They see our test data instead which is garbage. If they select different parameters, display the report and then go back and select the original parameters, they will get the correct data. This can be catastrophic for us! So I added at the beginning of the Page Load before setting parameters the following:
     If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            CRSServiceAlertsReport.ReportDocument.Refresh()
     End If
This seemed to work. A pain to add on every report page though when it wasnu2019t necessary before. But then I just got called this morning and they say when they print, it prited the OLD data. It seems the refresh pulled new data and updated the display in the viewer but the ActiveX print still used the original Saved Data! I couldnu2019t find a solution for this. I found switching PrintMode back to u2018Pdfu2019 worked but now I have the extra click issue again, which I described above. I tried setting the reports u2018Discard Saved Datau2019 option but it still had the data!
In the end, had I known about all these issues I would have NEVER upgraded to CR2008. Iu2019m still looking for help on getting by the following:
u2022     Stop using Saved Data at runtime (either on Display or Print)
u2022     Getting the PrintMode=u2019Pdfu2019 to just pull up Adobe in Open mode without prompting the user.
u2022     Remove File Type options from Export
u2022     Set the default File Type options to nothing or something I want.
Another nice feature to have would be the ActiveX control for printing to be part of the .NET Framework so users donu2019t need to download it. Come on BO is a big company Iu2019m sure they can work with MS. 

What is that method to clear Saved Data; I looked and couldn't find it. I never had to call one in the prior version of CR 2005 Basic in .Net. With the .NET controls, it always refreshed the data before. This is a change in behavior for me.
As for the Print using Adobe, with CR2005 Basic, it didn't prompt the user to Open or Save before. This is new behavior. It used to just open the report in Adobe in memory before without this specific prompt (it did have the first prompt for All or specific pages, but it would just open after that). This is a change in behavior from prior versions and it has caused me several issues.
Many users don't like change and I didn't know to communicate this to them. They were taken by surprise. We'll learn to live it I guess, but I would ask you just to consider, why have an option to "Save" to PDF when you choose to print? I would think you would use Export if you want to save. It would never hurt to add an option to allow alternatives either.
As for including with .NET Framework, it was just an idea. I know how hard it can be working with third parties. However, given that CR Basic comes with it, I thought it may be possible to work with them. The better the integration the better the product is for the developers. I was thinking the button could call JavaScript/Java to print instead of an ActiveX, or some other method. Since I donu2019t know how the Control works, I couldnu2019t say. It just would be nice. I had a smiley face after that request, it didn't come out right when I saved the post.
I still don't understand why .Refresh will update the data in the viewer but printing using the ActiveX Control will still print the saved data instead of refreshed data. Since I never used this in the prior version I don't know what it would of done or not, but it just doesn't seem right it shows one set of data, and prints another.
In addition, why the designer still saves data with the report when you state not to, I think may be a problem still.

Printing/Saving to PDF not working

When trying to save to pdf, I get this message:
"Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save."
I have Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1
So far I have been unable to save any documents to pdf. I am trying to print specific pages of an existing pdf to a new pdf with the pages I want.
Please advise.
Thanks

Hi
I see the same thing with Reader, seems they've chosen to restrict it in that fashion.
Preview works ok, but sure, doesn't open some pdf's.

"Automatically" restricting Printing & Saving as Documents are scanned

We do alot of scanning and right now the restriction of Printing and Saving our PDF's is done manually at the creation of each PDF after it is scanned. Is there a way that this security setting is automatically added when the document is initially scanned?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mistinlaci
I read your post about the scanning issues you're having and I wanted to make my suggestions to you.
Here they are:
Check for Windows Updates and complete them all:
Install Windows updates
Update Adobe:
Open Reader or Acrobat.
Choose Help - Check For Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
Once installed, restart you computer.
Try to print the PDF again.
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results.
Please let me know if the troubleshooting steps helped!
Happy New Year

Adobe Xi 11.0.10 not printing saved pdfs

I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Adobe Reader XI was automatically updated to the Dec 2014 version 11.0.10 MUI. Since then I am unable to print any newly saved pdfs nor any of my old pdfs that I have been printing for years. I AM able to print pdfs if taken directly from the web and not saved first. It is not about my printer, I have both downloaded the most recent driver as well as tried printing to a different printer. It is tax season and I can't print pdf IRS forms. HELP!
After selecting from the print dialog box, regardless of what parameters I select, I get a window that says "Could not be printed" and an OK box which I click then a window that says "There are no pages selected" (but there are, I've tried selecting individual pages as well as print all) and another OK box.

THANK YOU pwillener! I tried your first suggestion (view documents to Never) and it didn't seem to work (but I hadn't restarted, so not sure it had taken effect). After I did your second suggestion (disable protected mode) I rebooted my machine and VOILA I was able to print and fill in pdfs again. Thank you SO VERY much!!!!

Virtual Printer - Saving prints as a file

Hi,
I need to setup a virtual printer such that, if anything is printed on that, it is saved as a file. This file sould contain printer instruction, which can then be sent to 3rd party for printing.
Something like Microsoft Document Imaging.
All this has to run in background.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Vikas

Here's how to set up a virtual printer:
Tx; SPAD-> create a device type -> in change mode clikck on access method tab -> from edit menu select Command set-> command set id field shows up -> enter a letter, for ex:A , Doubble click on the field-> give a description-> enter cp &F /tmp/vpfile in command to transfer print data field -> enter echo ok in the last field.
Host spool access method should be L in the printer definition.
When you print using this printer, the output file copied to /tmp/vpfile folder.
Regards
Sridhar

Printing/Saving Question

When wanting to print a form off, is there a way of downloading/only printing or saving the pages that have answers on as not all parts of the form a relevant to every person?

Hi Nicole,
To have the form automatically e-mail the response when the form is submitted, click the Options tab, select Email Notifications, and check the Send email notifications when submissions are received option. Further below, check the Include submitted data box. Doing this will send the form data to you, or to an e-mail address of a form co-author of your choosing.
If your form collects data that might need to go out to many different departments depending on the options selected in the form, then you would set up your e-mail to watch for incoming mail with certain attributes and forward that message on to the correct recipient. I use this method to filter hundreds of responses to dozens of people, based on specified selections in the submitted responses. To make this work effectively, depending on your e-mail service, you might need to use an e-mail client (Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.) - the server-side filters/rules might not be powerful enough if you just use a web-based e-mail interface, but you can always try it first.
A bit tedious to set up the first time, but once it works, you can duplicate your filter/rule to create new filters for each different type of response, making just tiny edits as needed.
So, for example, I have a form sending responses to me, and my e-mail application has the following filter (items in brackets < > are options selected when setting up the filter/rule):
     Title: Final student evaluation for Supervisor: <person's name (I customize this for each of the different people this is to go to)>
     If all of the following conditions are met:
          1. <To> <contains> <my work e-mail address>
          2. <Subject> <is equal to> <(my particular form name): Response Received>
          3. <From> <contains> <[email protected]>
          4. <Message content> <contains> <unique text that lets the filter know to whom to forward the message - this is populated by a drop-down selection, so the spelling/content is consistent>
    Perform the following actions:
          5. <Move Message> to mailbox: <appropriate folder in your e-mail account - this means the message never hits your actual inbox>
          6. <Redirect Message (or could be Forward Message)> to: <e-mail address of person who should be getting this content, based on above information>
As I mentioned above, I then duplicate this rule, and make minor edits, for each of the different recipients who need to get responses from the form. (I change the Title, change the content from line 4 to match the new rule, and change the e-mail address in line 6 to match the new rule.)
If you decide you want to save each response as a PDF and then remove the unneeded content:
     Go to the View Responses tab
     Find the response you wish to export
     Export the response as a PDF (by hovering your mouse over the row number, all the way to the left, and then choosing the Download Response as PDF Form... option)
     Open the exported PDF in Acrobat Pro
     Delete unneeded (blank) responses and/or pages
     Save the PDF and e-mail that to the person who needs the responses.
This works if you only need to do this occasionally; if you need to do this for a large number of submissions, it is well worth setting up the mail rules/filters as outlined above.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions. It looks complicated, but it's really not... you just need patience when setting it up for the first time.

Iphoto printing photo viewing area window in later versions

Hello. Can you print the photo viewing area directly out of iphoto in iphoto versions later than iphoto 4?

Hi. Your answer is extremely helpful. I didn't know about the contact sheet option. What I am trying to do is print out all my albums while showing a thumbnail and the title of the photo, like I could do in Extensis Portfolio. It would be very helpful to me to be able to print a contact sheet with the titles of the photos as a reference; I have a lot of photos to keep track of. I had hoped iphoto could do this without having to resort to work-arounds and extra steps, since the photo viewing area shows me exactly what I want, thumbnails and titles. If there is no way to print a contact sheet with the photo titles, I have to say it is a big oversight on by Apple. The more functionality the better.
I might have answered this in your other thread:
I am trying to figure out just what you are doing
here. One thing that iPhoto does is allow you to
select a bunch of files, hit print and you are given
the option of printing a "contact sheet" which will
print all the selected photos on one or several
sheets depending on the size you pick for the photo.
Is this what you want to do?

PSE 9: Image size is printing/saving larger than what I selected.

I was sent some pdf files for a banner for my kids' upcoming birthday party. When I open one of the images it said that the image size was 7"x7" (it's a 7" circle) so I left it as is. The only thing I changed on the sign was I changed the color of a number and two letters from pink to blue and that was it. I then saved the image and gave it a new name. When I look at it, upload it to the print shop or print it from my home computer the image is no longer 7" but is now 8" (the circle) and it larger than the rest of the banner pieces. I have no idea how to get it to print/upload at the original 7" size.

I opened this image in PSE, and the diameter measures 6" on my equipment. Be that as it may, if you want to reduce the size try the following:
Go to Window and check rulers to make them visible
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer. Shut off visibility of the background layer by clicking on its eye icon. Work on the background copy layer.
Access the move tool, and using one of the corner handlles drag towards the center to make image smaller. Commit.
Flatten image

Can I lock a form to prevent printing/saving while also distributing so it collects responses?

I am currently using Adobe Pro X and have created a number of fillable forms which have been distributed to staff and clients. Can you add security to a form so that end users aren't able to print or save but are still able to return the form for data colleciton purposes? I attempted to modify security settings so that this functionality was locked, but then received a message saying I could not distribute the form due to security settings.
Thank you!

Acrobat (10 and above) won't allow you to use the Distribute Form process if you've added security, but you can separately Reader-enable a secured document and distribute it yourself. It's not clear what you mean by prevent saving since the form would have to be saved after it's filled in order to send it back to you.

Printing & Saving

I have recently had a problem printing and saving documents that have been downloaded from the internet. I'm using a Mac with OS X 10.6.8 and Adobe Reader 11.0.0. The problem is recent. I've used AR for years with no problem and am still able to print and save with my wife's computer using AR 10.1.4. Any help would be appreciated.

How can I prevent Firefox from cutting off the title of a webpage for use as a file name when printing/saving as PDF if there's a / in it?

Like it says in the question - when I try to print/save a webpage as a PDF, Firefox (version 36.0, Windows 8.1 64bit, German) usually uses the page's title as the file name. Slashes are, of course, not allowed in file names, but instead of just leaving leaving it out or replacing it with a hyphen, the title is cut off and everything before the last slash is gone, which in some cases results in very odd and misleading file names.
Is this a known bug? I couldn't find anything. So I'm just wondering if there's either going to be a fix anytime soon, or whether there is a simpler solution than to generate a different title sans slashes specifically for Firefox users.
Thanks in advance for Your help!

How do I get my daily crossword to print. Message says try again later.

Hp Photosmart 6510 wireless. Trying to use apps already installed on printer, but the crossword does not work, even though it is installed.

Hi Sparty517,
I have a couple of questions for you. Do you get that message on any other apps on your printer? Have you setup ePrint? For now I would try unplugging printer and router for about a minute and then plug them both back up. I would try again to access the app.
Let me know how it goes.

Printing/saving to PDF... pdf file size is enormous...

I am trying to convert a psd file that is a 36"X80" banner to a pdf file. In the past, I have printed to PDF and all has been fine. Today the Print to PDF fails... it doesn't give me an error it just pretends like it prints to pdf with the status box popping up for a second, then nothing. So I attempted to Save As a PDF instead... this worked, but resulted in pdf with a file size of 453M! This is much larger than the pdf's I was getting before, in the 3-ish M file size... any idea what I can do differently please? thank you!

convert a psd file that is a 36"X80" banner to a pdf file.
why send PDF
your printer will most likely flatten a 36x80" PDF document in Photoshop and print it as a .tif (even if they are going through a RIP)
ask them that up front if that's what they do and save yourself some time (if they do not preserve vector info)
your printer should provide a preferred resolution (likely 90-180 ppi)
and most safest colorspace recommended: sRGB
let them convert to their CMYK if needed
i would Save As (and deliver) a max-quality .jpg (or compressed .tif depending on the image)...
