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
%%[ ProductName: Distiller ]%%

  • Printing a PDF document using Java 1.4 Printing API

    Hi,
    When I tried to print a PDF document using JAVA 1.4 Printing API, I got the following exception.
    Exception in thread "main" sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor
    at sun.print.Win32PrintJob.print(Win32PrintJob.java:290)
    at Printing.main(Printing.java:40)
    I am able to print the same PDF document using Acrobat reader.
    Is PDF format not supported in JAVA 1.4 printing API? or is something wrong in my code?
    here is the sample JAVA program that I was using
    import javax.print.*;
    import javax.print.attribute.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Printing {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    String filename = args[0];
    PrintRequestAttributeSet pras =
    new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
    DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF;
    PrintService defaultService =
    PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
    DocPrintJob job = defaultService.createPrintJob();
    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
    DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
    Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
    job.print(doc, pras);
    Thread.sleep(10000);
    System.exit(0);

    Here's a pure Java solution (that works!):
    http://www.mycgiserver.com/~zhouwu/pdf/readme.html
    The caveats are:
    - prints only to the default printer
    - requires a properties file located in the home directory
    my workaround for the last:
         * Print a PDF file to the default printer (might consume lots of memory!).
         * <p>
         * <b>Required:</b>
         * <ul>
         * <li>a file "acrobat.properties" needs to be in the working directory. The content is:

  • 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?

  • Can't print a PDF doc using Adobe Reader X

    Previously had Adobe Reader 8.  First time ever experienced a problem in printing a PDF document, message read "you need to install a printer".  My printer is installed, can print in Word, Excel, photos, etc.  Downloaded latest drivers to my printer, installed Adobe Reader X, opened the document, but alas, it encountered a problem and closed down.  So I am still unable to print a PDF document.  I've been around in circles trying to find a solution but haven't been successful.  Can anyone help?

    Normally if I come across unprintable PDF files, first I would check the property to see if it has print restriction. If so, I would turn to a pdf password remover to remove it.
    But your case is a little strange, maybe you can try to print with another pdf reader first.
    That's all I can think about. Hope it helps.

  • Printing a PDF document using SMARTFORMS

    What is the easiest way to print a PDF document from an ABAP program?  I have the data in the following formats:
    Binary (XSTRING)
    String (from function module HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING)
    OTF
    What format can I use in a smartform to print the PDF in the background?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sandipan,
    If I use the UTF format, what do I use for the device type?  PDF1?  Also, I have the OTF data in an internal table which has to fields (TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR).  I pass this table into the smartform function module but what do I do with the 2 fields when I loop through the internal table in the smartform?  Do I just output a text node with TDPRINTPAR and ignoreTDPRINTCOM?
    TDPRINTCOM   TDPRINTPAR

  • Abobe 9: Printing a PDF file using a DOS command

    I have Adobe 9.4.0 on a server and would like to print PDF files using a DOS command. The DOS command we are using is:
    start Acrord32.exe /T/S/h/O "C:\BO_Archival_Code_Deployment\Print\TINF018_C.pdf" "Lexmark T644 PS3 - 10.192.36.126"
    With this, we are able to print only page 1 of the PDF file. The other pages remain unprinted. This means there is no issue related to printer configuration, firewalls, etc.
    Other observations:
    1) When we print the file manually after opening it in Adobe 9.4.0, all pages are printed.
    2) We found that the above command provides different results with Adobe 8.2.6 i.e. with the DOS command, all pages are printed while using Adobe 8.
    We are trying to automate some tasks for which we require the PDF files to be printed automatically through a DOS command. We are being advised to use Adobe 9 as technical support for Adobe 8 is likely to be withdrawn soon.
    Please can you help.

    Sorry. This is a forum for Adobe Connect issues not PDF issues. Please locate the correct forum so your question can be addressed properly there.

  • 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 to PDF Writer using VBA from MS Access

    I have the printer properties for the Adobe PDF Writer set to use a default output folder on my desktop, and to not prompt for a filename.  I have a loop in MS Access VBA that sends about 3000 individual reports to the PDF Writer, one after the next after the next.
    The code in Access modifies the reports "caption" to include the employee number for the record it is on... that caption becomes the name of the report in the print queue... and the PDF Writer uses that as the filename!  Each one has a different filename and eventually it prints all my reports.
    Recently I have been getting an error from MS Access that says "Error 2212.  Could not print your report."  It stops the print run and I have to reset and pick up where it left off.  Sometimes it prints 50 sometimes it prints 2500 before it hits that error.  Sometimes it takes 5 or tries to get the job completed.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what may be going on?
    Access 2003 SP3 on Windows XP Pro SP3, each upgraded with all MS Windows/Office updates.  Adobe Acrobat 7, upgraded to 8, upgraded incrimentally to 8.14
    Thank you for any advice. . .

  • 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

  • Unable to print a PDF file using the BI Publishing server

    Hi,
    I have a BI publisher server version 10.1.3.4.2 on W2K3 43 bit.
    I can access through the url that server.
    From my desktop I access through an url my Oracle APEX application.
    It has been configures with:
    Report Printing:
    Print Server Protocol: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
    Print Server Protocol: HTTP
    Print Server Host Address: the IP address of my BI Publisher server
    Print Server POrt: 9704 (from instllation of BI)
    Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
    On the page I want to print, it is configured with:
    Download:
    PDF option is checked.
    When I click on Action -> Download -> PDF for this page, I get the error:
    <file>. pdf file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
    Does someone has an idea what the problem is and where I should investigate further?
    Thanks by advance for tips.
    Kind Regards.

    If you are trying to print to the Adobe PDF printer and that fails, try using print-to-file. Then open the file in Distiller. If the result is the desired PDF, then check for AcroTray running as a background application. Sometimes it has to be restarted, but should be in your startup (you can check msconfig from the start>run menu to see if AcroTray is there).

  • 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

  • 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!

    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 .
