Printing to PDF problem

I need to print to pdf so I can get the color separations. However, after updating acrobat 8.0 to 9.0, the pdf option is no longer in the PPD selection. Any help to get it back would be very helpful.

If you upgraded to 9 and you have not opened Acrobat as yet do so it will give you the option to have Acrobat set this up.
I would then restart the computer.
If the option does not present itself I would uninstall and reinstall.
BTW you will have to first print to .ps then distill to get a pdf

Print To PDF problem

hi,
i have used the Print to > PDF option of iWeb to create documents that users can print (because of this iWeb printing pb ...).
but now, the problem is that those PDF files generated by iWeb have line cut in the middle.
you can see it @ www.voisinconsulting.com/websitev2/services.html for example. click on the 'print this page' link to see the PDF document ... you'll see there is a pb at the bottom of every page. and this happens on every of the PDF pages i have created with iWeb.
anyone can help me ???
thanks in advance.
tom.

tom:
I see what you mean. But when I do a Print to PDF from the web page via my browser I get a 3 page PDF file with breaks properly oriented. You might create a good pdf file and link it for download instead of relying on the services to create the page.
Do you Twango?

Printing to pdf problems using 6.0

I have Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Pro and recently I started having problems printing a document to a pdf. Everything else seems to work fine. I have windows XP and microsoft office 2003. I never had a problem until yesterday. I have also had the updates installed as of 1/2007.

Not completely sure what I did differently this time but now I have the following message when trying to print to pdf

Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro Print to PDF problem

We are trying to us the print to PDF method of PDF creation. In the past you were able to select the PDF job options from under the apple print menu and in the PDF options section. When used under Illustrator or Indesign this would also allow you to choose a save location and name for the pdf file.
We've been using CS1 and are moving to CS3. After a clean install on a test system that Submenu is now gone. Anyone have any ideas? I can have the users manual set the options in Acrobat Distiller first but this seems to make the PDF printer rather useless.

Some additional info
This is on a PPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 with latest patches. Previously install was Adobe CS1. Removed the Adobe PDF printer, PPD Plugin and PPD file prior to instal. Also removed the Version Cue 1 preference pane and preferences via Adobes Manaul removal script.

Printing/creating PDF problems with Mac OS 10.6.4 and word v.X

In my job at university I use Word 2003 (version 10) in my new iMac. Since I updated to MacOS 10.6.4 I have problems with the printing menu. That means that I can not print or convert to PDF or even generate a preview. When trying to print or obtain a preview, word freezes and I have to force quit. When trying to generate a pdf file it does, but the generated file is unreadable (it says is damaged) and word freezes again. I have played with the preferences, change user and it didn't help. I checked the Font Book and indeed they were many duplicated fonts. I sorted them out, but the problem persists. With very short files it works, but with longer ones word invariably crashes when trying to print or make a pdf. I took one long .doc file and I copied into my laptop (MacBook pro, 2008) that was running 10.6.3. I printed it and converted to pdf; no problems at all. Then, for the sake of knowledge, I updated the system to 10.4.6 and then I couldn't print or create a pdf with the very same file, so it seems that certainly the update is reponsible. So now I know cause but I can not print from any of my computers. To me convert to pdf is an important functionality so I would appreciate any help. I have some ideas: reinstall Office 2003? reinstall 10.6 from the disk (and not update)? use Time Machine to restore the system as it was before the update?
I didn't detect problems in Office 2004, or any other programs in my macs. Unfortunately, I need Office 2003 for compatibility with some other software. Thanks in advance!

I updated my MBP to 10.6.4 last night and today I was printing fine from Word 2008 (v12.2.5). I haven't used Office vX since Tiger so I cannot comment on its stability with the latest update. But I suggest that if you haven't done so already, try opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions on the 10.6.4 partition. Once this has completed I also suggest that you reset the printing system, restart your Mac and then add your printer queues again.
*How to Reset the Printing System*
1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
5. Restart your Mac

Printer or PDF problem?

Hey all,
I'm not expert at acrobat, so I thought I'd pose the questions to the experts! :) I own an Epson C86 and my PC is running Acrobat 7.0. Often, when I print PDF files, I end up receiving a page full of garbage characters.
I've updated my printer drivers and the problem still occurs. Is this an issue with acrobat 7.0 that could be resolved with an upgrade to 9.0? Or is it the PDF file itself that is corrupt?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
It is not an Acrobat problem. However, are you really talking about
Acrobat---this is a Reader forum---or are you talking about Reader?

Print Adobe PDF problem: Device type related?

Hi,
we have developed a number of adobe print forms and we face a problem. The problem is that not all types of printers can directly print (without first preview the pdf) the form.
We are using an output device with device type post2 (pdf1 works for some printers too) and access method F (Printing on Frontend computer) , but some printers work perfectly and others instead of the form, print out some postscript (or print) commands.
We can as well change our printers and get some postscipt printers but the problem is that we want to give access and print the forms some of our partners who logon to our system via VPN and we cannot "force" them to buy new printers.
Do you have any suggestion for this problem?
Thanx in advance
Kostas

the ABAP Backend is sending a ADS-document in an XML format to the ADS Server (JAVA), the ADS returns a "Parts" for the forms. A "parts" consist of an PDF file and a print file (PostScript, PCL or ZPL), which are placed in the Global Directory. All the conversion should take place within the ADS Server.
This "Parts" are then send as a PDF to the SAP Spooler.
For the printing of this PDF document in the SAP Spool System one of the Device types (POST2, HPLJ4, HP9500, PDF1, AZPL203, AZPL300) is taken into account which send the actual PDF to a physical printer.
What you see in SP01 are the "parts" of an ADS-document.
Report RSPO0020 (for troubleshooting ADS printing issues) is displaying the "Parts", send back from ADS to the backend System
The XDC file is the printer description in XML format, which the Adobe Document Services requires in order to create the "Parts" file. PDF documents can only be printed on printers of SAP device types for which there is an XDC file on the Adobe Document Server. Report RSPO0022 can be used to manage the mapping between the printer device type and the XDC file

OCR Renderable Text and Print to PDF Problems

I have Adobe Acrobat version 8.1 on my PC laptop and have recently had trouble with OCR at work. When I try to run OCR I get a pop-up box telling me Acrobat cannot perform the function because of renderable text, however if I run OCR on the same file using my desktop PC (which has version 10 installed) I have no trouble. Also, I am no longer able to print items (such as a webpage) to PDF, and instead receive a pop-up box telling me something about the AdobePDF.dll file being missing or not functioning, and an error message when I double click the printer icon at the bottom right corner of my screen. I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat and then reinstalled it yesterday, however it did not fix either problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

what windows version you are using? I think your problem might be due to corrupt operating system. Try reinstalling the OS and reinstall Acrobat soon after.
Good luck!

CROSS TAB PRINTING IN PDF PROBLEM

Post Author: peachpx
CA Forum: General
Hi,
My report uses a Cross Tab query with multiple lines for each value. Originally, I only get one line for Total In. I modified Total In to include three lines Total Into Final, Total Into Initial and Total Out. It displays fine in the report, but when I try to print from the server it opens PDF file with only one line present Total Into Final and the other two lines are cut off. Is this a BUG in CRXII or is this can be fixed with correct formatting?
Please help!

Hi,
cross tab is a diagonal report , u have to make query in such a way so that it returns the all field in row and columns way i.e in diagonal form .
U have to fetch total in same manner

Print to PDF from Word 2011 creates problems at section breaks

I have a user trying to create a pdf of his thesis. He created the thesis on Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, and we use Acrobat 10. It has a number of section breaks where he switches from portrait to landscape and back. When he tries to print to PDF, not only does the thesis get split into an individual document at each section break (annoying, but not a big issue), but when he tries to reassemble the document there is an adjustment in margin and several extra lines of space at the top of each section. I've seen workarounds such as opening the individual sections in Preview and stitching them together that way, but it still leaves the extra space at the beginning of each section break, as well as the adjustment in margin. Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Thank you!

I had the same problem with a Word document and figured out the problem. Word seems to be spitting out separate PDF documents based on the page setup. So under File -> Page Setup you get a dialog box with the settings for the page, and usually a "Format for" dropdown and a "Paper Size" option. If these setting are not the same for the whole document, Word throws a wobbley and generates a PDF for each page setup.
My solution (works where all of the pages are the same format).
File -> Page Setup
Settings: Choose "Microsoft Word" from the dropdown box
Apply Page Setup settings to: Entire Document.
This will setup up the entire document to use the same page settings, and will fix the problem for those of us who are wanting a document that all has the same page settings. (This won't work if you are mixing page sizes.)

PDF printer has a problem with Safari in "Reader" mode in Windows7

As shown in the image above. When I try to use the PDF printer to print out a web page in Safari "Reader" mode, the lines near the bottom of each page get squeezed like this. There is no problem with XPS printer. I guess this problem is because of some incorrect settings in Safari or the PDF printer?
My system is Windows 7 Pro. I am using Acrobat X Pro. The page I am trying to print is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_band_structure. This problem only happens when the webpage is adjusted into "Reader" mode in Safari.

Many thanks for your reply!
I am sorry, I did not make my question clear. I would like to save some web pages only in "Reader" mode, because in this mode all the advertisements are filtered out and the pages look much nicer than the origional layout.
I first let Safari to active "Reader" by clicking "Reader" button.
Then I click "Print" button and select Adobe PDF as the printer.
The problem is the PDF file has something wrong (shown above), and I would like to know how to avoid this problem.

I can not print a PDF from a HP Photosmart Plus B210A. HP says its is a Adobe problem and Adoble says it is not there problem

I am unable to print a PDF file from a HP Photosmart Plus B210a. I contacted HP and they say because the printer does print word docs etc. the printer cannot be the cause of the problem. This is from the Top Level Support team. When contacting Adobe, they say that not being able to print their PDF files is not there problem but HP's.
Another call to HP and they now say it is Apple's problem.
I am in the middle and still can't print a PDF file. When trying to do so, it doesn't print and I receive no error messages. Just nothing. My serial number is
W88110PFZE3 and my operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or do I just throw out HP?
Thanks, Bob L.

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

Problem with printing to PDF from ID

I am having trouble printing my ID document as a PDF using "export" or print options. See screen shots for error messages.

First off, you are not PRINTING to PDF, you are EXPORTING to PDF, which is the preferred method here. You can try export to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting), but most likely there's a problem on one of the pages that won't get fixed that way. For troubleshooting tips, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

Problem with printing a PDF

Hi All,
I'm developing a web application written in J2EE that uses Java Reporting Component (JRC) to display crystal reports from some filters recovered from a jsp and passed to a report .rpt previously designed and invoked just at runtime.
I have a problem with printing a PDF:
I want, after entering the filters in a jsp, to print a report in PDF format (WORD) without opening it
with Adobe Reader (Microsoft Word). The class of API JRC used for export is ReportExportControl.
Can anyone help me?
I wish a great day to You all.

Hi Ted Ueda,
sorry for the delay of my answer.
I understand very well the problems related to security.
With the following code that I used to produce a report (PDF) at runtime,
is the PDF created on the server and then sent to the client, or is it directly created on the client as PDF
from RTF previously realized?
ReportExportControl exportControl = new ReportExportControl();
String report = report path;
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(report, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly);
Object reportSource = null;
reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
//The method setConnectionProperties() stores all the connection parameters in the collection
//ConnectioInfos
ConnectionInfos connInfos = setConnectionProperties(request, reportClientDoc);
exportControl.setEnableLogonPrompt(false);
exportControl.setEnableParameterPrompt(false);
exportControl.setReportSource(reportSource);
exportControl.setDatabaseLogonInfos(connInfos);
//Single method to pass parameters to Crystal Reports. Using classes ParameterFieldController and
//ParameterFieldDiscreteValue
setReportParametersValue(reportClientDoc, reportParameters, subReportParameters);
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
//Set the export format (PDF)
exportOptions.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
PDFExportFormatOptions PDFExpOpts = new PDFExportFormatOptions();
exportOptions.setFormatOptions(PDFExpOpts);
exportControl.setExportOptions(exportOptions);
exportControl.setExportAsAttachment(true);
try {
      exportControl.getHtmlContent(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext());
} catch (ReportSDKExceptionBase e) {
throw new ApplicationException("error code", ": error message"); }
As, however, I predicted in my previous message about the direct printing on the client,
I read about ActiveX, but I don't know how to use them.
I read this information in the 'Crystal Reports for Eclipse Developer Guide' about "printMode" attribute:
"In ActiveX print mode, an ActiveX control is downloaded to the client machine and the report is send directly to the printer...."
The ActiveX alternative is a java applet that runs on the client and takes the pdf from the server and prints directly onto the clients through the commands that I used in the DOS command line:
1)     AcroRd32.exe /p /h FILENAME
where
/p = print
/h = hide window
to print the report and
2)     tkill AcroRd32
to close Adobe Reader, because it doesn't end automatically after printing and the command /h is used just to minimize the process.
I hope you can give me advice because I need to print directly on the client. Thank you
