Printing Text below Blob Images to PDF

Hi......I have designed a report to print to PDF. The report will be populated dynamically with blob images anything between 1 to 6 images displayed 2 per row with a text description appearing below each image.
However in certain cases where the other information above the images are long, the images printing overflows into 2 pages. In those circumstances, sometimes i get the text description appearing at the side of the image instead of below it.
Please look at this PDF link showing the above case: Link: [Sample PDF|http://203.211.146.160/website/Sample.pdf]
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Does it work if you are not formating with multiple columns? Sometimes formating with multiple columns can be tricky.
I just looked at your sample again and it is pushing the text to the next column before starting a new page. Try splitting the detail line with the text in detail B, and make sure DETAIL still says keep together.
You may just be stuck with it,

Adobe Prints Text as Double Image

When I print pdf documents online[specifically http://content.educationdirectonline.com/course/VET010/online/vet010_088001.pdf ] the text prints out fuzzy, with a gray double image of the text right behind it, almost like a shadow. I've tried turning off the printer(Dell Photo Printer 720 with new black ink cartridge and full colored) to reset the cache, but it hasn't helped. The problem seems to be specific to Adobe, because I have printed text documents with notepad and they turn out fine.
Also, I have tried changing scaling options, text rounding options, and even tried printing the pdf as an image, none of which have effected the problem I am experiencing.
If anyone would help me solve this mystery it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

It seems to print fine for me. I would suspect that you may need to update your printer driver.
What version of Reader are you using?

Printing text below the photo.

From Help the Artist
When I drag the T icon for text from the left side over to just below the photo of my painting so that I can put the titile etc under it all I get is a staight line. How do I get it to print text?

Help the artist,
I am not near my computer just now. You have identified additional requirements. Your painting is square, but the paper is rectangular. Something has to give!
Go to File menu>new>blank file. Enter height 11 in, width 81/2 in, resolution the same value as that of the picture in px per inch, background black.
Open the picture file, go to Select>all, then Edit>copy. This puts it on the clipboard.
Go back to the blank file, then Edit>paste
The painting will be on a separate layer. Position it with the move tool and resize it with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary.
Type your text below the picture. This will be on a separate layer as well. Position the text to suit.
I have printed many pictures over the years at a resolution less than 300 px/in. I like to be within
240-300 range. You can ascertain the resolution of the painting file via Image>resize>image size.

Print text in Bold while creating PDF

Hi,
I am mapping data in the XML to a Template designed using LiveCycle Designer ES3.
I need to print some of the text in BOLD.
For exmple in the following XML, when we display the text in PDF, person names should be in BOLD.
Part of the XML that is fed to template designer.
<house>
<parent>Mike and Mary are Mark's parents.</parent>
</house>
What is expected in the PDF:
Mike and Mary are Mark's parents.
I would appreciate if someone could please help me to achieve this task.
Have a good day!

Hi,
Check out Parth's example here: http://livecyclekarma.wordpress.com/2009/05/20/richtext-tricks-for-textfield-in-designer/.
Also do a search on this forum, I am sure Steve Walker did an example.
Good luck,

Text below images in mail converteted to .txt or html attachemnts when sent

Using Apple mail with Exchange account.
If I add text below an image in an e-mial, the text is often (but not always)
converted to an attachment ending in .txt or .html.
So the recipient rarely sees the text message. Very frustrating.
Apple Care is like huh?
I did some searching on it a few weeks ago, but no sound solution.
Anybody figure this one out yet?
TIA!

I am using Rich Text and the messages even show up that way in my Sent folder and when I CC them to myself, I get the same thing.
Now that's unusual. It sounds like your ISP could be "helping" you. Unfortunately, e-mail issues are very difficult to debug in a web-based forum. To really track things down and identify where the problem is, you have to see the message. You can send an example to me at the address info at etresoft dot com.
I have to warn you that Apple Mail comes out blameless 8 times out of 10.

Gif images in pdf file generated from Reports 6i

Printing text using jdk 1.4...only first character in string output

I have read way too many forum postings and still can't get simple ascii to come out my printer. Please don't point me to awt printing samples. I don't want the overhead/baggage of graphics contexts when they shouldn't be needed.
If I create a printer that's a file (set to generic/ascii), then after printing and giving a filename the file contents look ok. So, this seems to be a DocFlavor issue or something.
However when I try to print to a network printer (usb attached), I only get at best a single character on my page.
The following is tracing from my print method (shows text to be printed and doc flavors supported by printer):
PrinterImpl::print(text=hello world)
image/gif; class="[B"
image/gif; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/gif; class="java.net.URL"
image/jpeg; class="[B"
image/jpeg; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/jpeg; class="java.net.URL"
image/png; class="[B"
image/png; class="java.io.InputStream"
image/png; class="java.net.URL"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Pageable"
application/x-java-jvm-local-objectref; class="java.awt.print.Printable"
application/octet-stream; class="[B"
application/octet-stream; class="java.net.URL"
application/octet-stream; class="java.io.InputStream"
It appears, that besides copious image printing support (why PNG and not TEXT?!?!?!?) I can print Printable's from the awt api, as well as byte arrays and input streams. I wish to not use the awt printing api.
I have tried all mentioned DocFlavors regarding BYTE_ARRAY.AUTOSENSE, etc. Nothing gives me more than a single character of output.
Any ideas? I'm getting a little burnt out on this problem.
Thanks.

I cannot comment on the 2 examples you referenced, because I don't have a Postscript printer, but your own example does not work, at least under Win2K, neither on a USB nor an ASCII printer, here is why (aside from the fact that it contains 2 or 3 formal errors).
I am trying desparately to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K since weeks and found 2 problems, but no solution so far.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Java PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices() returns nothing
=============================================================
I want to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K and found 2 problems. Here is the 1st one.
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(<DocFlavor>, <AttributeSet>) returns nothing when I specify any AttributeSet:
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
I tried
aset.add(new Copies(1));
or
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
I tried it with JDK 1.4.2 and with Java 6, same problem.
When I specify null for AttributeSet, I get as many services as I have printers specified in the Printers folder of the Control panel.
I have scanned quite a few contributions about this subject, and it looks like this problem has been around since years, but I haven't found a solution.
But there is a circumvention of the problem for a parallel printer (at least an HP Laserjet 4 Plus): forget lookupPrintServices, just use the default printer. It works. Here are the essential code lines to print a simple ASCII file in Win2K.
//String fileID = = args[0];
FileInputStream textStream = new FileInputStream(fileID);
PrintService defService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
DocFlavor myFormat = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
DocPrintJob job = defService.createPrintJob();
Doc myDoc = new SimpleDoc(textStream, myFormat, null);
try {
job.print(myDoc, aset);
} catch (PrintException pe) {
System.out.println(pe.toString());
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cannot print on a USB printer with Java PrintService
====================================================
I want to print a simple ASCII file on a USB printer under Win2K and
found 2 problems. Here is the 2nd one.
Even though
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(<DocFlavor>, <AttributeSet>)
returns nothing when I specify any AttributeSet, I can still print on the default printer, which I get by
PrintService defServicedefService = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
but only on a parallel printer (HP Laserjet 4 Plus), either directly attached or over the network. When I try the very same code on a locally USB-attached printer, the printer is obviously reacting, but nothing is printed.
In case of a Lexmark 730 (an ink printer), the driver even lies, it has printed 100%,
on a Samsung CLP-510 (a color laser) the ready light flashes twice, that's all.
The file to be printed has 5 lines and a "0C"X at the end in order to force a page eject at the end.
I tried it with JDK 1.4.2 and with Java 6, same problem.
I should mention that I can print that little file out of the editor Textpad without any problem.

How to print a BLOB (image) on a PDF report using Oracle APEX Listener as Print Server

Hi,
I use APEX 4.2.
I have the following query as SQL text for a Report Queries in Shared Components:
select
    customer_id,
    cust_first_name,
    cust_last_name,
    cust_street_address1,
    cust_street_address2,
    cust_city,
    cust_state,
    cust_postal_code,
    phone_number1,
    phone_number2,
    credit_limit,
    cust_email,
    filename,
    company_profile,
    -- customer_image,
    decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(customer_image),0),0,null,
    '<img style="border: 4px solid #CCC; -moz-border-radius: 4px; -webkit-border-radius: 4px;" '||
    'src="' ||
    apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE', customer_id) ||
    '" height="75" width="75" alt="Photo Customer" title="Photo Customer" />') customer_image,
    mimetype,
    image_last_update
from
    demo_customers;
I am unable to have the image printed on the PDF report. Even when the P22_CUSTOMER_IMAGE is defined as session state item.
Does someone knows how to print such image/BLOB in a PDF report?
Thanks by advance.
Kind Regards.

Hi,
Indeed, I would need a custom layout.
Unfortunately, it seems (according to this white paper) not possible with the APEX listener only. I would need a third pary tool. A pity...
For me strange, that I cannot generate such a report having images or pictures in a pre-definied report layout... Maybe a future enahancement for Oracle.
Kind Regards.

Printing to any PDF printer results in an image of the page instead of searchable text from all websites

When I print to any number of different pdf printer software I've tried, it always yields an image of the webpage but never searchable text in the pdf which is the result of printing to pdf from IE or Chrome.

I suspected as much. I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected. I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer. I am disappointed but not surprised.
Edit:
Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
to “Disabled” but
with no luck. In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether. I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

Text jobs with images - printer cancels

When I print a text document with images the printer stops printing and cancels the print job when it starts to print any image.
Help
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hey @sudiegal!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some suggestions that may resolve the issue. I can see that the printer cancels the jobs when you add a photo to you text document. The first thing I suggest is to remove the printer by resetting the print system. After the printer is removed re-add the printer and try printing the document again.
To reset the printing system:
1. Click the Apple icon at the top left of the computer
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Printers and Scanners
4. Hold down the "control" key on the keyboard and click with the mouse in the white space bellow the printer
5. Click reset printing system dropdown
6. It may ask for Mac ID and will color wheel for a moment until the printer is removed
To re-add the printer:
1. Click the Apple icon at the top left of the computer
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Printers and Scanners
4. Click the plus (+) icon under the printers list
5. Select your printer
6. Choose HP ENVY 7640 series in the dropdown next to "use" or "print using"
7. Click add
Please post back and let me know if this works out for you!

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Canon MX870 doesn't print text...just images

After upgrading to Snow Leopard (yes I know I'm slow to upgrade) my Canon MX870 isn't printing text. It is printing images but the quality if horrendous because it's not printing the black ink.
Here's what I've done so far
Installed the latest drivers for Snow Leopard from Canon
Cleaned the heads of the printer
Added new ink to all cartridges
Run printing tests (nozzle print patterns)...all good
Reset my printers in the Print Fax Preferences and added in the printer again
Numerous restarts
Now I'm at a loss for what else to do. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
BTW, printer is connected via USB not wireless.

OK well I can see now that all of my files are present on the hard drive (mybook) only they are not showing up in aperture. It seems that there has been some sort of communication breakdown between the two.
As I said several files are missing and or corrupt in my aperture library. I'm wondering if there is a way to rebuild the library without using the vault technique? Does this make sense to anyone?
I was able to go into finder - mybook - aperture library - show contents and see that all my raw files at least are there. Now I just need to get aperture to recognize them.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

PDF Form Printing Text, but no Form

I have an accountant trying to print a PDF Form. It cannot be saved, but only printed. When the form is completed and printed, it only prints out the entered text, and nothing else. All other PDF docs print fine
IT conditions:
She prints to an older Panasonic Copy machine
Her printer connection is Shared
Another PC can print the same form 100% fine and that machine goes through here PC to the printer.
Completed Troubleshooting:
First discovered she was on Reader 10.1.3 and the other PC was 10.1.1
Did a complete uninstall of 10.1.3 to include deleting from registry
Installed 10.1.1 with same issue.
Verified all a printer and reader settings are the same for both PCs
Attempted work arounds:
Installed doPDF virtual printer to try and save the completed form as PDF
PDF prints text and form text, but not the field borders for each block
Installed Nitro PDF as default PDF reader, same issue. Will not print out the field borders.
Additional Troubleshooting:
Ran full virus and malware/spyware scans with no issues.
Specific Form:
https://forms.in.gov/Download.aspx?id=4722
Searched all over the internet with Google and have had no luck finding any suggestions

When you print it, the box that pops up should say, under the Comments and Forms box, "document and markups". Hope that helps.
