PrintJob is ignoring print dialog page range

The class flash.printing.PrintJob presents an OS print dialog box when the start() method is executed, but in Windows XP the dialog option to select a page range is disabled. In Mac OSX Snow Leopard the page range portion of the dialog is enabled, but is not recognized. Instead, all pages are printed regardless of the entry. It does work correctly for an Air application running under adl, but it does not work correctly for an Air application running under Air. It does not work correctly for a Flex application running in the browser, or running from Flash Builder.

Did it work before? It could be a printer driver problem with the OS.
It could also be a PS preferences problem.
To fix, reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Print different page ranges of a document without, each time, having a print dialog?

Hello,
Would need your valuable help on that one.
I have a large PDF File, of which I want to print different page ranges, based on the checkboxes that have been checked by the User.
Ideally, clicking a "print" button would generate the page ranges, based on the checkboxes that are checked and open one print dialog with the pages ranges already indicated in it. Like this, the User can enter once the printer settings (e.g. booklet or duplex) he wishes, which should then be valid for all the pages contained in all the page ranges.
Thank you in advance for any tip!
Cheers
Serge

Print each page range double sided as new task

Hi All,
I have that problem. I would like to double sided print some pages from pdf file - let's say pages 1 to 5. But I want them to print like this - pages 1-2 on the first sheet of paper, page 3 on the second sheet (the other side of this sheet I want to be blank) and pages 4-5 on the third sheet.
If I type page ranges 1-3,4-5 when printing the result will be the same if I would type page range 1-5, so pages 1-2 will print on first sheet, pages 3-4 on the second sheet and page 5 on the third sheet. That's not what I want.
The only solution is to first print pages 1-3 and then open printing dialog box again and print pages 4-5 so they would be two separate tasks for printer. But this is very time consuming when working with large files.
I do not have Adobe Acrobat to insert blank page after each section that is odd numbered so this is no solution for me.
Could you please help? Any ideas how to work this out? Is there any printing set up to print each page range as separate task?
Or maybe there is a way to double sided print odd numbered page ranges with an additional blank page at the end so that the next range would start on new sheet?
Thank you in adavnce

dear ,
check ur printer settings , bcos u are using std.program , so i cannt say SAP is doing wrong , better to check ur printer settings

OfficeJet 8600 doesn't print full page range from pdf with Mac OS X

I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 linked to a Mac with OS X Mavericks
We often need to print a block of pages (say the first 40, or 10-20 out of the middle) out of large pdf documents of 250pg or more. To do so we put in the page range under 'pages' in the print instructions box.
The printer sometimes prints an initial block of pages, then cuts off. If we then try to print the remaining pages, it starts by printing the whole range again, with the ones we already have, and then still cuts off maybe after having done 2-3 more than the first time round. To print the whole range we've eventually had to print the last pages one at a time.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening, and how we can stop it? It happens with documents in Adobe Reader and web pages.
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi @NickRN8
I am not sure what is causing the inconsistency in selected pages not printing, but I'd be happy to help.
Let's reset the printing system, repair disk permissions, re-add the printer using the right driver, and try to scan again.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer and add the printer back.
When you add the printer, please ensure you are using the HP driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can select the printer driver
I look forward to hearing from you. If the issue remains unresolved, I will post instructions to completely scrub the HP software from the computer and start fresh.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Printer dialog page doesn't give me landscape/portrait Orientation option

When I try to print something, and bring up the printer dialog window, I no longer have the option of swapping between landscape and portrait.
I used to be able to hit command-P, then select Layout, where I was given a choice between Orientation: a graphic up for Portrait and sideways for Layout. I would also get a small print preview window where I could see each page formatted.
Now all I get it is a small icon with the digit 1 where the preview used to be, and no Orientation option. Layout Direction is there, as are other options, but not that one. And now things only print in Landscape; I can't change print jobs to Portrait.
I deleted (really renamed) my ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file, and then restarted my application, as I saw that as a suggestion in a different thread, alas no joy.
Background: I'm running Mavericks OS 10.9.1. I have an old Macbook on the same OS level; it works on that machine. The screen is failing on the old one so I'm trying to get the new one up & running. When I bought this new one I tried to clone it using Time Machine but that failed (very long story) so I had to manually copy over User and Library directories to get this one going. I'm guessing something didn't get copied over right, but regardless I should be able to select this as an option on any print.
To make matters more confusing, it didn't work on ANY app at first, but as I've poked around on it tonight (3-4 hours) it started working on some apps but not others. I have no idea why. Weird.
I really need help; I'm desparate!
Thanks.

So your observations and especially your last question was a very good one.
I checked the old laptop (where it was working) and the print dialog boxes appear to be consistent across machines, but different across applications. In Safari I do get something closer to what you have, in Firefox (and other apps) it's what I showed. I could have sworn they all acted the same, I thought that pop-up window was OS-generated, but maybe not.
You're on to something here. I'm checking how it works with File -> Page Setup now. It looks like they moved the Orientation option over there rather than in the print dialog box ... depending on exactly what application it is. That seems to be the case in Firefox at least.
I've got a number of apps to run through and check, and it's real late so I'll have to finish my checking tomorrow. But this is hopeful. My tax software is where I first noticed it (IRS forms get truncated when you print them landscape, sigh) but you may have pointed me in the right direction.
Confirmation later, but even so thanks for now!

Print multiple page ranges based on radio button group choices

Hi ... I have a PDF that is a combined application form made up of 6 separate forms. On the front page, I have 6 groups of "Yes / No" radio buttons.
If the radio button for one or more of these groups is selected as "Yes" then when the Print button (on the page) is clicked then the appropriate page ranges will print.
It is desireable, though not essential, for these to be printed in one print job.
The Code I have been adjusting to try and achieve the result is below but I have tied myself in knots now and any help would be greatly appreciated:

Hi Gilad D
The 'printRanges.push' function works well on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI however when it is used on the systems that the form users will be working on (which runs Adobe Reader 9.4.0.195) the ranges are not pushed to the printer dialogue box and the 'printRange'
in the dialogue is still selecting the 'All Pages' radio button.
Is the printRanges.push function a new and non-backwards-compatible function or is my code the problem

Trouble printing selected page range as handout

I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I have this issue with my printer also
my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

Javascript Code to Print Multiple Page Ranges in Acrobat

Hi All,
I am very new to Javascript (used it for the first time this morning) and was looking for some help.
I have built a fillable pdf form in Acrobat that I am required to print on a very regular basis.
However, when I print it, there are only particular pages that I need to print as opposed to the entire document.
I have put in a Print button that executes the below code when pressed:
this.print (true, 1, 25) ;
this.print (true, 27, 28) ;
This allows me to print two different page ranges, but it separates them into two different print jobs.
Is there a code that will allow me to put them into the same print job, so that it selects pages 1-25, 27-28 rather than doing them separately?
I am currently using Adobe Acrobat X Standard.
Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat/Reader 11 allows you to use the printRange property of the PrintParams object that's used with the print statement: http://livedocs.adobe.com/acrobat_sdk/11/Acrobat11_HTMLHelp/JS_API_AcroJS.89.1013.html
See the sample code included at the link above.

JavaScript Print Button Page Range Not Working Ubuntu Linux

I have created a PDF file that has several button programed in Javascript to print a page or page range in the file. It works great in Windows and Mac but in Ubuntu Linux there is a problem. When you hit the button it brings up the Print window but it has all pages set to print instead of the 1 or 2 pages it is programed to print. How do you fix this. I used the following Javascript. Please help.
this.print({
bUI: true,
bSilent: true,
bShrinkToFit: true,
nStart: 1,
nEnd: 1
This is supposed to print only page 2 of the document but in Adobe Reader in Linux it wants to print page 1-12. Apparently the nStart and nEnd does not work. Is there another way to do this so it will work in Ubuntu Linux.
Thanks

I suspect that the problem has to do with the added security
included in Flash 8 and above that restricts javascript. If you
search the flash player KnowledgeBase on Adobe.com you'll find more
detailed information about fixes, but here is what worked for my
Javascripted items.
Find your Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Captivate 4
> Templates > Publish folder. Within the folder is a
standard.htm file. Open this file (for this simple task, i just use
notepad). In the script section, add...
so.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
you'll see other similar param declarations. It doesn't
matter the order.
You can edit the individual .htm file if you want to test
this first.
That should do it.
Here is the KB article that discusses the security features
in greater detail:

Printing several page ranges

I have been trying to figure this out for days. I have a set of forms with an attached instruction sheet. Within the instructions i would like to put a button to print say forms on pages 2-4. Then another button to print forms on page 5-8. Is that possible?
Thanks

The print command has parameters that will allow you to enter a start and end page. Have a look at the help - search for print and you will see th ecommand with all of the parms defined.

Adobe X Printing page ranges in pdf's with multiple sections

I'm trying to print a page range in a document that is divided into sections that start over with page 1 or page i, and using an absolute page range doesn't work. For example, the document has an initial cover page up to the Contents page numbered i - vi, then the Contents section is numbered i - iv, then the Figures section is numbered 1 - 2, then the Chapter 1 section is numbered 1 - 6, Chapter 2 is 1 - 14, etc.
In Adobe X, the default toolbar with the print, mail icons, then the up and down arrows, is followed by a box with the "page number" in it followed by a page range in (); for ex., the box has '1' in it and the range shows (15 of 94). If I was viewing the title page, the box would have 'i' in it followed by (1 of 94), etc.
When I try to print, the dialog menu shows the "Print Range" of "All", "Current Page", and "Pages". If I select "Pages" and enter the absolute number from the range in () like (15 of 94), and I want to print absolute page 15-35, and I enter that in the "Pages" box as 15-35, what I get is a section further in the document that I don't want at all, and not the desired page range. In fact, since the sections all restart the page numbering, I can't even find the starting page because the print function is totally confused about what page I mean.
In previous Acrobat versions, I had no trouble using the absolute page range since that is obviously required to get the desired range; i.e., Acrobat can't know what section I want, so for ex. putting page 1-10 can mean any section with 10 pages. I don't know how to use a page range for sections, like 2.1 - 2.4 or 2-1 to 2-4 because the Page range box doesn't recognize that. And again, the absolute page ranges don't work either.
The only way to print this document is to select the "All" button. If the doc is 1000 pages long, I don't want to waste all that paper!! Please help!

You can use the thumbnails pane and print pages selected within the pane.
Have you tried other strings like:
1 - 6 , 1 - 13

Print page ranges

With the print dialog that is displayed when you call:
PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
PageFormat pf = job.pageDialog();you can only print continuouspage ranges (like x to y). We would like to print discontinuous page ranges (like "1;5-6;9").
Is there a built in way to achieve this?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Stas,
thanks for your reply.
I tried the following code.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
public class PrintDialogExample {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        PrinterJob job = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        job.setPageable(new Pageable() {
               public Printable getPrintable(int pageIndex)
                         throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
                    return new Printable() {
                         public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
                                   throws PrinterException {
                            if (pageIndex > 9) {
                                return NO_SUCH_PAGE;
                            Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
                            g2d.translate(pageFormat.getImageableX(), pageFormat.getImageableY());
                            g.drawString("Test the print dialog!", 100, 100);
                            return PAGE_EXISTS;
               public PageFormat getPageFormat(int pageIndex)
                         throws IndexOutOfBoundsException {
                    return new PageFormat();
               public int getNumberOfPages() {
                    return 10;
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        PageFormat pf = job.pageDialog(aset);
        boolean ok = job.printDialog(aset);
        if (ok) {
            try {
                 job.print(aset);
            } catch (PrinterException ex) {
}Hope thats what you meant?! Now there is a page dialog and a print dialog, but still no way to print discontinuous page ranges (like "1;5-6;9"). Any ideas?

Cannot Print "current page" or "page range" in Compatibilty Mode in Word 2010

We are upgrading to Word 2010 from Word XP
All old documents open in Compatibility Mode
None can print a page range or current page, the whole document prints instead
I have tried to "Convert" to the 2010 format to no avail.
This does not happen on Documents created in 2010.
The only workaround I have found is to Copy the entire document into a New Word 2010 Document.
Is there a fix for this? Is anyone else having the same problem? It is not the same as the section problem I have seen all over these forums.
Thanks

Printing - how to set the page range in the page format dialog?

Hi
I need to print the text in a JTextArea; and this text can be more than 1 page. I use MyPrinterJob.setPrintable(new MyPrintable()), and I can print the whole document. But the range of the page in the page format dialog ( which I make appear before the print dialog) is from 1 to 9999. How can we get rid of this and can make the range of page equal the number of pages in a document?
If I use a Book, how can we set up the range of page in the dialog equal the number of pages in a document or in a JTextArea( assume we do not know how many pages it has at the beginning?)
I would be thankful if anyone can help me.
Thank you very much

All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
…you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
…and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
… (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.
