Printing Services do not accept PDFs generated with Pages

Hello,
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.4.1 and I have been using Pages to generate documents which I then turn into PDFs before sending to a printing service for printing. However, several print services that I need to use to stay cost competitive cannot accept PDFs generated by Pages (I believe they said or Quark). The print service printers will not print PDFs created by pages. I've probably spent 2 weeks trying to work my way out of this one and I can't seem to find a solution other than to manually rework all my files into Word documents which could take months. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? Thank you so much,
Wendy

I need to use to stay cost competitive cannot accept PDFs generated by Pages (I believe they said or Quark)
The print publishing industry has agreed on a specification for print-ready PDF. The specification is an ISO standard known as PDF/X for blind eXchange, meaning that if the person preparing the digital master applies the specification then the person printing the digital master can depend on the master to be printable.
QuarkXPress 7 includes PDF/X authentication internally and Apple Pages includes PDF/X authentication externally through the sysem-level Apple ColorSync filters. The print service provider should inform you of the printing condition she is selling you and should provide an ICC type PRTR printer profile for that printing condition.
The ICC printer profile determines the ink limit, the detail in the highlights and the detail in the shadows, the gray balance relative to the tint of the paper (whether bluish, yellowish, reddish, or near neutral) and matches the laydown order of the inks in the printing system. If the print service provider has no ICC printer profile for a custom printing condition, ISO 12647 reference data are available from www.color.org and the print service provider should be able to build a separation to suit her process from that. This ICC printer profile should be set as the OutputIntent in the PDF/X filter, whether in QuarkXPress, in Apple Pages, in Adobe InDesign, in Adobe Acrobat or in any other compatible application.
Best,
Henrik

  • New Epson WF 7620 will not print with Macbook Air, receive "Print File Was Not Accepted" message.

    Hello! To anyone who tries to help me, thank you in advance!
    I brought home a new Epson WF 7620 yesterday and did all the necessary stuff, installing it with my Macbook Air (Mac OS X ; 10.7.4.). I installed the software from the site, added the printer to my printer list, enabled "print sharing" and connected it to my wifi network. I am trying to use it wirelessly.
    I tried to print a test page of a regular PNG image, but I am receiving the "Print File Was Not Accepted" message in my printer queue. I have changed the file type a couple times to JPG and PDF but more of the same. I have also reset the printer, and have repaired the disk permissions in the Disk Utility to try and get it to work.
    None of this seems to be working, suggestions very appreciated!
    Thanks

    Try Linc's suggestion first.  That should cure your issue.  If not, here's something else to consider:

    Apple keeps a set of current software for Epson printers.  You should start by going to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners and delete the printer from the list (using the "-" key).  Then download Apple's software version from here:
    Epson Printer Drivers v2.18 for OS X
    Finally, set up the printer as shown here:

  • My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

    My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

    I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system.  Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should.  Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should.  The document below will expalin more about doing this.
    Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
    If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver.  By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using.  If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself.  To do this, access Print and Scan.  Click the + sign to add a new printer.  Select the printer from the list.  Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver.  Let me know what happens.

    Has anyone also experience these kind of problem? Or has anyone an idea where this 'validateUserSession' function is located, which *.jar, *.war or *.ear?
    BTW: I checked that Workflow in running properly before I installed PDFG.
    Regards, Karin

    Hello,
    I think I found something: the webapp.jar in adminui.war in LiveCycle.ear contains the FeatureBean class and is different once I have PDF Generator included. I tried to exchange this jar file. Now I have access again to the administrator webapp.
    However, I get an error message when I try to convert images with Acrobat:
    "The service to convert the document could not be looked up."
    Can this have something to do with the exchange? It's a strange error message because Acrobat is installed together with PDF Generator.
    Or could it be because I have also Adobe Reader 7.0.8 installed?
    Any ideas would be really appreciated.
    Regards, Karin

  • Hp laserjet printer pro m1217 print file was not accepted Mac

    Hi 
    I connected my printer wirelessly via Bonjour. It is connected but for some reason doesn't print, giving me an error message: "print file was not accepted."
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    David

    Hi Djcain
    I understand your HP Laserjet m1217 is setup wirelessly but wont print from the the mac and you are getting a error message "print file was not accepted".
    If your are using 10.8 then make sure when you added the driver you added the printer name m1217 and not the airprint driver that is preinstalled on the mac.
    Please provide the Mac operating system you are on for further assistance.
    Please click “Accept as Solution ” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

  • If pdf generated with Bullzip, opens with problems in text (missing, weird characters, etc...)

  • IBooks will not sync PDF collections with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but not the content?

    My IBooks will not sync PDF content with my IPhone. It syncs the collection title but no content. Both devices are set to sync collections? Any ideas how to fix this?

    The 'sync collections' setting does not copy books or PDFs between devices - all it does is if you have the book on both devices and you move it into a collection on one of them, then it will be put into the same collection on the other device.
    You will need to sync each PDF that you want on your phone. If you don't currently have them on your computer then connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks on it do File > Move Books From iTunes in the iBooks app on it, and you can then sync them to your iPhone.

  • IBookstore soon not accepting ibooks made with IBA 2.0?

    When delivering my first iBook via itunes Producer, I got a warning letting me know that the iBookstore would 'soon' be not accepting ibooks made with ibooks author 2.0 - does anyone know when that is exactly? I have one more book built using this version so trying to get it done asap...

    This would truly make a good piece to submit as IBA feedback. (To improve the chances of it being read to the end, I would recommend to remove the judgemental parts of the piece and trim it down to the bare facts before submitting.)
    Not that I don't agree with the judgemental parts

  • It keeps on saying print job was not accepted

    I kept on trying to print out my project from school on pages but it kept saying print job was not accepted. What do I do?

    Hey mellyk99,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble printing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • How to create a  PDF document with page curls using Adobe  CS 4?

    My  goal is to create a  PDF document with page curls. I am using Adobe  CS 4.
    1.      The document was created in Adobe InDesign  CS 4  where the page  turn (curl) transition  was applied.
    2.      Then the document was exported to .swf.
    3.     The .swf file was imported into   Adobe Acrobat Pro  to create a PDF file with  flip page or page curl transitions.
    These are the problems.
    1.      The background is not  transparent.
    2.      Page dimensions have to be increased at least an inch in width and length so that the full page can show
    3.      The command and+   will not only increases the document's  screen size. It increases the page margins.

    PDF was never designed to support the Flash page curl effect (it didn't exist back then). Anything you try (and you've tried the standard hack) will look like a hack. Personally, I don't think the effort is worth it for an effect that's much overused.

  • Reader X does not display drawing in PDF generated with LaTeX

    I have a quite large PDF generated by pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.11 which contains also XY-pic drawings rendered with Xy-pic version 3.8.2, PDF driver v.1.4.
    One drawing does not display correctly in Adobe Reader X. Neither on Windows, neither on Mac. It does display correctly with following programs:
    Preview on Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6
    Adobe Reader 9.x
    Skim (skim-app.sf.net).
    When I open this document with Adobe Reader X I get following error message when I hit page 58:
    "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem".
    Where does one report rendering problems?

  • GilAltOneMT font missing in PDF generated with FM8.0p266

    Hi -
    Long time Frame user, reluctantly "upgraded" to Frame 8.0/Tech Comm Suite within the past 4 months. Never had issues generating PDF files using the PDF printer driver from Frame 7.0. With Frame 8.0, for some reason the font "GilAtOneMT" will not appear in the PDF file, which is an issue as this font is used as our sans serif font for headers, etc. Why is this particular font such an issue?
    I only experience this issue with Frame 8.0. Use same font in PhotoShop CS3 and Illustrator CS2, and no issue generating PDFs from these apps with this font.
    Not in the mood to rework all of our Frame templates to switch over to some other font, but looks inevitable.
    Multiple users here having the same issue. The only commonality that we have is that we have all upgraded to Frame 8.0 and now have this issue. We have been using these same Frame templates for 5+ years, since Frame 5.5.
    Thanks,

    Hi -
    Well, the Tech Comm Suite sat in my office gathering dust for months, because if something is not broke (like Frame 7), why mess with success? Now, it's broken, and right before a big product release. Are you suggesting that this issue is fixed in TCS2.0?
    <<how are you creating PDFs? SaveAs or printing directly to the Adobe PDF printer or print to file & distilling the resulting .ps file?>>
    Printing directly to PDF printer.
    - <<have you set the Adobe PDF printer to be the default printer in FM? You can use the SetPrint utility to set this for you automajically for you when you start FM.>>
    You're dealing with a non-tech here, where is the "SetPrint utility" - ? Set it as the default on my system, or just in Frame?
    <<- what version of O/S are you using? There was a MS hotfix that solved a FM PDF problem recently - search for "MS hotfix" in the FM forums or check the Adobe TCS blog; they have a link there to it.>>
    I will check this out. I am using Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 (like the rest of the corp world).
    <<PS - if you just got TCS in the last 4 months, why didn't you get TCS2.0? You know version 1.0 of anything will always have hiccups ;>)>>
    Trust me, I fought this one kicking and screaming. I still get shudders thinking about my "upgrade" to Illustrator CS. I am now in revolt over our impending "upgrade" to AuthorIT.
    Thanks for listening to me whine...

  • Access restriction for PDF generated with Smartform

    Hi there,
    I am generating a PDF from a Smartform using convert_otf.
    What I would like to do is, add restrictions for the generated document just like in Acrobat Professional.
    For example:
    Printing: yes/no
    saving: yes/no
    cut, copy paste: yes/no
    Is there a way to pass this Parameters to the PDF?
    Thanks in advance
