Printing To PDF Printer Driver from within a program

Does the Adobe PDF Printer Driver allow parameters for file name and no display of resulting PDF. I want to print to it and create a specifically named file without being asked for the filename and with a 'preview' display. If I cannot do this, what do I need? Is there an SDK, and if so, is there a run time that can be distributed without royalty along with apps developed using the SDK. I generally use GDPicture control for this but wondered if I could do it with Acrobat.

Please ask in the Acrobat SDK forum.

Can't print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file.

Can’t print a PDF file that is within a ZIP file. Get message “Windows cannot complete the transaction. The destination file could not be created.” If I save the file and extract the pdf it works. I didn't have to go through this hastle before. If I retry many times it will often work.

ZIP files can be handled in many different ways. If you have a program like WinZip or 7-Zip installed, they will handle it.
If not, Windows will handle it. The message you quote indicates that your situation is handled by Windows, which seems to have a problem with it. Could be caused by recent Windows updates.
Definitely not an Adobe Reader problem.

How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

I have windows vista. How do I get a print to pdf file option from Word and PP?

Do you own Acrobat? If so what version? If not what version of Word and PP do you have? Newer versions contain non-Adobe software for creating pdfs. If you do not own Acrobat that it would be best to check in a Microsoft forum on how to use Word to create pdfs.

Clone a Mac Partition to an External Drive from within Windows 7 Bootcamp?

Anyone know if it is possible to clone the mac os x partition to an external drive from within Windows 7 bootcamp? I (like a few others) had a problem with the latest 10.6.3 update and I cannot boot into the mac partition but I can access it via bootcamp so I was thinking about trying to clone it to an external drive and then boot from the new clone and see if that works.
Appreciate your comments.

setup a 30GB partition on an external drive, along with a partition of 150% the size of your Mac OS X volume -- or larger.
Install OS X to 30GB.
While booted from DVD, before you install, you'll need to go to Utility Menu => Disk Utility to do the partitoning. While there, in DU see if you can repair your system.
And where is your TimeMachine or clone backup? The "Step #1: Backup before beginning your Boot Camp project."?
No way to backup or clone from within Windows, though you may be able to write to NTFS backup volume, UNLESS you bought MacDrive8 which allows read AND write to HFS+ from within Windows.

Cannot print to PDF printer in Acrobat 9 Std

Hi, I've been able to print to PDF printer before. But lately it stopped working each time I output something to the PDF printer. It would not generate a PDF document. I even unistalled the entire Acrobat 9 Standard and re-install a clean copy. I still had the same problem. My config is as follows:
Adobe Acrobat Std 9.4.6
Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) with latest release and updates.
Thanks.

That was what I did by printing to PDF printer as a PDF file. I provided a file name and location where to save the file, it started to generate the PDF file but then it quitted with the following log message which I do not understand:
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%
82ypbdbl not found, using Courier.
%%[ Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: xshow ]%%

false
%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

It looks like what there was some problem with the wrong font type not found so something. Thanks.

Installing Oracle ODBC driver from within another installation

My application requires ODBC driver. Is it possible/recommended
to install the driver from within my installation program (other
than invokig the ODBC's setup program)? If so, what are the
files that need to be installed, the registry entries that need
to be updated and other activities perfromed?
Thanks
Michael

In order for the ODBC driver to function properly, the Oracle
client must have been installed on the user's machine. If the
Oracle client has been successfully installed, users will have
the Oracle ODBC driver.
Since the Oracle client install is very large as installers
go, you probably don't want to package this with your app. In
addition, the Oracle client installation is pretty significant
in terms of what it does, so you definitely don't want to try to
replicate that work in your installer.

Openening pdf in iBooks from within Safari

After installing IOS5, I am not able anymore to open a pdf-file, which I opened in the Safari webbrowser,
in IBooks.
In IOS4 I used this a lot, but this does not seem to work anymore!
Anybody having the same trouble?
And even better: anybody having a solution to this?

I have found and tested 2 workarounds for this problem:
1)
Send the pdf as an attachment to an email to yourself.
From within the email app on the iPad2 you can then point to this pdf in the received email,
and open it within iBooks ! (as should have also possible from within Safari ... )
2)
Another, even better workaround:
- install Opera Mini webbrowser on the iPad
- copy URL of the pdf to URL-field of Opera Mini webbrowser
(for example: arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
and click "GO"
- this loads the requested pdf IN THE SAFARI WEBBROWSER (!!),
but with a different URL,
in this example with the URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- Now you open the pdf in iBooks from within Safari as usual !!
Hope this helps, although I would like a better solution,
such that the original functionality of openening documents in iBooks from within Safari is restored !
Jan Bours
- installeer Opera Mini (webbrowser)
- kopieer de URL van de pdf in URL veld van Opera Mini en laad de pdf
(bv arxiv.org/pdf/1110.2260v1)
- toets op "Go", dan wordt de pdf geladen IN DE SAFARI BROWSER !!!!!
Maar dan wel met een andere URL, in dit voorbeeld met URL
http://global-4-lvs-turing.opera-mini.net/hz47-01/24015/0/-1/arxiv.org/1110.pdf
- aantikken van het scherm geeft rechtboven in scherm zoals altijd
de mogelijkheden "Open in iBooks", of "Open Met ...",
die allebei inderdaad de pdf in iBooks kunnen openen !!!!!

Creating a Step for Background Job from within ABAP Program

Step-1: I have a Report in ECC, which is scheduled as Background Job, which writes the file to the Application Server(UNIX)
Step-2: Trigger a Unix Command to ftp the file to other server.
Both Step-1 & Step-2 can be done from SM36.
Another Scenario:
Users can run the report in background from SE38 or using the transaction code for the report, In this case we want to call the external command.
Instead of calling the External Command as below in the report, I want to create a Step from within the program when it is scheduled in background mode.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lc_unixcom. [ Here lc_unixcom has the External Command ].
Any ideas??? Appreciate help.

Hi,
For submitting a report step, you may use either SUBMIT ... VIA JOB ... or JOB_SUBMIT function module.
For external commands, this should be done only by calling JOB_SUBMIT function module.

IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

Unable to print to PDF Oversize pages from FrameMaker 9.0 and 7.2

Hi All,
I am trying to print to PDF a publication that is full of oversize wiring diagrams. The pages are all images ranging in size from standard A3 and A4 siz sheets through to a foldout being 1470 mm W X 297 mm H. We have no problem printing A3, A4 and 630 mm W X 297 H. These are all Portrait images. When we set up our custom print size to accomodate the 1470 mm W X 297 mm H we get the pages without the content, and even some of the oversize pages are not the correct size on print.
The page sizes we are using are:
A4
A3
630 x 297 mm
840 x 297 mm
1050 x 297 mm
1260 x 297 mm
1470 x 297 mm
The procedures we are using to set up the printing are:
1.      Print to PDF (Do not Save to PDF, you do not have control over paper sizes)
Under Print Setup make sure you select PDF Driver and select the Paper size as largest that is in your book. Example: If A4 and A3 pages, print to A3
2.      Select Generate Acrobat Data and select
Note: Back in FM Print dialogue; make sure Print to File is turned OFF, before you click Print
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
AJ Wilkinson

AJ,
I tried to duplicate the scenario and ran into issues when using very wide custom pages. For whatever reason, FM tries to output the 1497x297 as 297x1497, no matter what the controls for Portrait or Landscape are set. Also changing the dimensions in the printer instance Custom Page Size didn't seem to have the desired effect.
I checked the .ps files being produced, and in all cases the page and file Bounding Boxes get defined as:
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
Whereas, in the same file the custom page size is defined as:
%%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize
1786 842 0 0 0
   4 dict begin
   3 1 roll
   2 array astore /PageOffset exch def
   2 mod 0 eq {exch} if
   2 array astore /PageSize exch def
   /ImagingBBox null def
   currentdict end setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
Note: that the H W components are transposed.
Something is definitely screwy here. The content appears to be created off the page in many scenarios.
I tried all permutations of H W, Portrait/Landscape and Paper Feed directions, but could not get output created that had the long dimension horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation). Even with pre-defined page sizes, I wasn't completely able to control the output orientation.
I then changed the defined page size within FM from a portrait aspect ratio, i.e. H > W to a landscape, W > H. I was then able to get the content appearing correctly in the 1497x297 layout. It looks like FM is trying to be "smart" and thinks it knows better as to what you want on output.
First, check that your FM page size has W > H. If printing from a Book, where you have mixed page sizes and orientations, I believe that the first file sets the orientation for the whole lot. So if the first one is a standard portrait page and you have large landscape inserts, and are trying to print to oversize pages in the landscape mode with Generate Acrobat Data on to ensure page sizes are cropped - you're going to have orientation issues with the larger pages.
Try printing these large page sizes separately and use Acrobat to replace the pages from the book output.

I was having the same problem. I saw this and when I attempt to open that forum, it doesn't take me to that page. It takes me to the generic forums page (http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa). I'd love to solve this problem as it drives me nuts.
Can anyone provide either an updated link or the instructions themselves?

Print to PDF - not cleared from queue. Bug?

I'm using Acrobat Pro X w/ Windows 7 Pro. When printing to PDF, I'm prompted to save the file and it prints allright. However, the print job then stays in the print manager with an error. And next time I want to print to PDF, I first have to open the print manager and delete the previous print job. So there is a work around, but this behavior is somewhat annoying and surely not as advertised ... I have tried to contact Adobe to report this, but I'm not in the mood to pay for expensive "support" to report what seems just like a software bug. Has anybody had a similar problem and, if so, is there a solution?

Hi, please refer to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/791587 for resolution.

Cannot print to Adobe Acrobat X from any other program

I recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows XP3 system. Previously, the Adobe Printer installed by the Acrobat 8 was accessible from any other program. I simply chose the Adobe PDF printer and the documents "printed" to Acrobat. With the Acrobat X install, this no longer works.
I've tried repairing the Acrobat X - no luck
I've tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then allowing Acrobat to re-install the printer during the repair - no luck
I've checked the Adobe PDF printer properties, and do not have "Enable advanced printing features" checked.
I am using the print spooler.
The Adobe PDF printer is using the Adobe PDF Converter driver.
I've read through a number of discussions/posts, and have not found a solution. I am working around the problem by printing to pdfFactory program and then saving as a .pdf, then managing the files in Acrobat X.
If anyone is aware of a solution/location, please respond to this post.

Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.

Print to PDF; Print to Compressed PDF; Print to Web Receipts menu, MISSING

I have been trying for several days now to restore printer prefs for a HP Officejet 7410.
Under Mac OS 10.5, and after reinstalling HP software and drivers from www.hp.com, the drop down menu for PDF option is missing entirely! As a work around... have tried 'file > save as', then choose pdf option. (This option only works in a very limited number of programs! I have gotten accustomed to 'printing to pdf' for archiving and password protecting key docs, and emails, et al; and therefore would like to regain this essential feature.
Question is, are others having this same problem with other printers, or have I missed some critical step in setting up my printer? (I already deleted all printers , then created a new printer profile from the print&fax menu under system preferences).
Any thoughts or useful observations, are Greatly Appreciated.
Sincerely,
Geoff

John.
+Thanks for reply.+
Re: +What steps have you taken to restore printer prefs?+
Originally installed Leopard (OS 10.5) using the *'UPGRADE to MAC OS'* selection.
Went to system preferences > deleted all printers. Clicked "+" button to add HP 7400 Series printer via bonjour. Added other virtual printers (FaxSTF). HP 7410 Printer dialog box was still missing "print to PDF" feature, and other features, so downloaded and installed current software and drivers for HP Officejet 7410. Again deleted all printers from 'Print & Fax' dialog box of System Preferences. Added printers Officejet 7400 Series ; and Officejet 7400 Series FAX.
Still have no "print to pdf" functions; can not use HP color rendering technology, only colorsync is available. Control over ink density, color temperature, and other previous print dialog choices are all MISSING IN ACTION.
I have rebooted from a cloned external HD using prior OS (10.4.10) all printer features function properly. So have concluded that Leopard is not 'prime-time' ready as far as many third party printers. Don't know when either HP will update it's drivers, or when Apple will create a update for devise drivers. Imagine there'll be some finger pointing for source of problem between HP & Apple. Guess will be returning to OS 10.4.10 until these bugs are ironed out.
If you have any other thoughts or suggestions, please drop me a note.
Thanks,
Geoff

Have Adobe Pro 8.0 Can't Print to PDF Printer

Am getting error Message "out of paper" instead of dialog window that should ask for file name.

Bill,
First, let me thank you for sending this email!
I tried “printing to file” from the Adobe PDF printer using AutoCAD (where I was first having the problem), and it did not store a file in any location on the laptop. The popup window did pop up and ask where I wanted to store the file, but after typing in a name and hitting the button, it just went away. This was the second test, the first test locked up the program as I discovered that the Adobe PDF printer was set to spool, then print, and it would never stop spooling, 10 minutes of waiting had me cancel out on the printing. I then selected ‘print directly to printer’. With this change, after the fill in the name of the file window, it just went poof. No file saved.
I am running Win 7 pro with trend micro security (came on the laptop). In addition, I cannot use the Adobe PDF printer with any other software either. However, if I open Adobe directly, then go to the command ‘create pdf from file’, select the file (even if it is autoCAD) it will “make” the pdf document. So there is a work around.
One additional thing I can say is that, with this laptop, in the past, I was able to use the Adobe pdf printer as intended and it worked well.
I believe that my issues started when I clicked on the ‘pdf-Xchange’ (tracker software) printer by accident one day when I meant to select the Adobe PDF printer, I had installed this software a long time ago on another Laptop and even through I never “installed” it on this laptop, it came over with copying the files from the old laptop to the new one, somehow, I do not know how, it got set up as a printer on this new machine!!!
I have sense uninstalled it, and removed all it’s folders and files and run CCcleaner to get any leftover .dlls that it might have left. Since then I have done the uninstall on Adobe and reinstall and also deleted the Adobe PDF printer and then run the ‘repair’ function from Adobe 8.0 to reinstall the printer. Still does the same thing. The original error message from the printer info window was that the Adobe PDF printer was “out of paper”, how can a virtual printer ever run out of paper?
