Problem of printing fuzzy edge words in pdf.

Dear All,
I am printing various pdf documents. The blue one below is printed by my cheap XEROX Phaser 3100 MFP. Please look at the edge, they are sharp.
However, when I print them in other bigger or more professional printers, for instance, printers in printing shop. They usually printed as words with fuzzy edges.
I could not spot the reason why. The documents can be generated by InDesign or Pages under Mac, Microsoft Office under Windows, or even Libreoffice under Ubuntu. They can be English or other languages. as shown below, Chinese.
Can anyone tell me how to tackle this problem? This is quite common but I can never find the solution. Sometimes using the simple typeface, for example, Times News Roman could work correctly.
Correct one.
Fuzzy ones.

I clicked on the link but it said I had 354 fonts installed.
If I had corrupted fonts, wouldn't Adobe or Firefox give me an error? Because I never get an error code or anything. The font and numbers just don't show up.

More problems while converting hyperlinks in word to pdf - missing first words

I'm using Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended (I think on Windows XP).
If I have a word document with a working hyperlink when I convert it to PDF (using the Acrobat button in Word)I end up with a working hyperlink in the pdf file but it is missing the first word. For example :
in Word the hyperlinked phrase will be http:/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj but in the pdf version it will be :/tinyurl.com/MarinaBloj
or
in Word the hypelinked phrase will be "Sensitivity to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." but in the pdf version it will be " to luminance and chromaticity gradients in a complex scene." with an extra blank space.
worse, if in the word it is a single word, say "PDF" then all you get in the created pdf document is " " i.e. a blank space that is actually is a hyperlink (you can see the corresponding address if you hover the mouse).

I am experiencing the exact problem...hyperlinks work after conversion from Word to pdf however first word is missing. I can only reproduce the problem on one computer. Other computers I have tried it on do not have that problem. Here is a work around i found....You can select the entire document (Ctrl + Shift + End from the beginning), then go to "Create PDF". Go into Options and select the "Selection" option. Then proceed to convert the document. It's a workaround but I'd like to know what the cause of the problem is.

Word 2007 PDF! Bug im Reader 9.3.2?

Hallo,
ich habe mehrere Word-Templates, die ich als PDF speichern möchte.
Das klappt soweit auch alles mit "als PDF speichern".
Nur stürzt mir der Acrobat Reader meistens ab,
wenn ich dieses versuche zu öffnen (Acrobat Version 9.3.2).
Das Problem dabei ist, dass ich nicht lokalisieren kann,
wieso der Reader abstürzt. Alle Bilder habe ich bereits (zum Test) aus den Word entfernt ... selber Fehler.
Außerdem ist merkwürdig, dass das PDF manchmal beim 1. öffnen zum Absturz führt und manchmal auch erst beim 10. mal.
Jedes andere PDF funktioniert dabei ohne Probleme. Nur die mit Word erstellten PDFs erzeugen einen Fehler.
Das PDF habe ich bereits auf anderen Rechner geschrieben und dort geöffnet ... selber Fehler.
Einmal hatte ich fünf Minuten gewartet, nachdem der Reader keine Rückmeldung mehr gegeben hat und dann die Fehlermeldung
"Fatal Error: Acrobat failed to connect to a DDE server" bekommen.
Ich weiß, dass das PDF per Drucker zu schreiben nun nahe liegt (Distiller, Ghostscript, ...).
Das schwierige hierbei ist allerdings, dass dieses Problem auf einigen huntert Rechnern in einem Unternehmen mit festen Programm-Vorgaben besteht. Auf allen Rechnern eine andere Softwarelösung zu installieren ist also sehr zeitaufwändig.
Vielleicht hat ja jemand eine Idee?
Vielen Dank und schöne Grüße,
Matthias

Hi,
auch ich erzeuge meine pdf-Dateien mit WORD 2007. Den von Dir geschilderten Effekt habe ich dabei bisher noch nicht beobachten müssen. Allerdings benutze ich den Adobe Reader 8.2.2.
Ich habe ausserdem gesehen, dass Du Dich bereits im internationalen Forum umgesehen hast. Bist Du dabei auch auf diesen Beitrag gestossen, der ggf. mit Deinem Problem zu tun haben könnte?
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1877300 mit den verschiedenen Lösungsvorschlägen bzw. weiterführenden Links.
U.U. ist vielleicht der Rückschritt auf Version 8 im Augenblick noch die bessere Lösung.

Acrobat 8.1.6 and Word 2007 - PDF printing problem

I have a weird problem with printing a word 2007 document to the Adobe PDF printer (distiller). I hope someone can help with this.
My two-page Word document has a background color, text, text boxes and two imported images (both under 500kb). Now, the problem is two-fold:
If the 'print background color' option is disabled (unchecked), the PDF looks okay, but the background color vanishes as does text within text boxes (the text boxes themselves appear fine).
If the 'print background color' option is enabled, the PDF shows only the background color, but no text!
In either case, the PDF generation takes an unusually long time.
I tried to follow the advices given in other threads, and looked for the presence of Acrotray.exe (it was present during the process). I also tried printing the document to a file (.prn), renaming the extension to .ps, and double-clicking it to send the job to distiller - every time with the same result.
I must mention that if I use Word 2007's own 'Save to PDF' feature, it generates a clean PDF without any problem. It is only the Acrobat Distiller that is giving me endless grief. Can someone knowledgeable please help me with this issue?

I have an update. This is even weirder. It turns out that after I generate the PDF and only the background color shows up, I can use the Touch Up Object tool to select the entire page (by clicking anywhere in the colored area), and press 'delete'. If I do this, parts of the background color gets deleted, revealing the text underneath - including the background color!!!!! And doing this repeatedly, I can remove this strange 'overshadow' and find everything (image, text, text box) intact underneath. I can do the same to the text box, and eventually, the missing text appears there.
I, of course, have to do this for every single page!
In summary, it is almost as if my text and images are being covered by a sheet with the same color as the background, which I am then removing part by part - with each stroke of the delete key - much like opening a . Strangely, this happens for each page except the last page (which prints fine - with images and texts etc.)
Does anyone have a clue about this?
Update: I hadn't seen the replies from Bill and Lori when I posted this. Thank you both for replying! I do think that the problem is with transparency, given what I found out just now (written here). However, I have tried different PDF settings, standard and high quality (this is the one I normally use), and yet I have had the same issue!

Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

-HP Officejet Pro 8610
-problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
-My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

Hey there @TM-10
Welcome to the Community
I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
Good luck

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

Page numbers are not generated correctly when print from Word to PDF

Whenever I print my Word document to PDF, my page numbers do not reflect the page numbers shown in Print Preview.
For example, I have a Word document with 10 pages and after generating it as PDF, the page number shows Page 1 of 1; Page 2 of 2; Page 3 of 3; ......Page 10 of 10.
Please advise what may be the cause and how can I rectify this problem?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
I do have some sections breaks on the pages, however the pages are all shown in running sequence even on Preview page.
It is the final generated document that has this problem.
I emailed my colleagues my WORD document and ask them to generate to PDF and they have no issues printing the WORD to PDF and every pages were in running order.
Any other advise?

Printing from the Word to the pdf printer,

Printing from the Word to the pdf printer,
I wanted to print a Word document using the pdf printer but sounds this printer doesn’t provide a dialogue box to choose where to save the printed pdf file. It prints the document but couldn’t know where does the acrobat stick it!
What might be the problem?
Is there some option that controls this behaviour?
Thank you for the help,
Best
Jamal

If you select the properties (or preferences) when right clicking on the Adobe PDF printer, there is a Settings tab (if not select the Advanced button on the general tab) and select the settings tab. There are selections there for requestion the file name and other items related to PDF creation. Sorry if my selections are not clear, I am on the wrong computer to check the correct selections for you, so give it a shot and try various selections until you find the settings.

Hyperlink problem when converting Word to PDF

Hi everyone.
I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Standard version 7.1.4 on a Windows 2000 environment.
I am using Word XP/2002 SP3.
I have a couple of problems when converting Word to PDF.
When converting a long link which is in 2 lines, PDF just takes one line into account, not considering the whole link
When I have hyperlinks that links to a web page, the link works fine in Word but in pdf, it gets the few words after the url address making the link not work. For example. I have a hyperlink that http://www.google.com/ and after this I have the words: "This is a sample text". The hyperlink in pdf would then become http://www.google.comThisisasampletext
Do you have any ideas how I can correct this?
Thanks.

To get the cross references, you have to use Convert to PDF (PDF Maker part of the Acrobat product). However, you first need to go to the print menu and set the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Close the print menu and then do a reflow and link update of the document (ctrl-A, then F9 I think). This is needed to get the links correct since WORD reflows the document based on the printer (problem with them going to the wrong place).
Printing to the Adobe PDF printer (the step of print to file is not needed, just print to the printer and the rest is automatic) does not include the links. PDF Maker is a PreProcessor for the Adobe PDF printer that adds PDF Marks to the PS file before it is sent to Distiller (OK, the printer when used normally creates a PS file and then invokes Distiller to complete the process - your steps did with the Adobe PDF printer is the same process done manually).
Summary:
1. Fix document after setting the printer to Adobe PDF.
2. Use PDF Maker (create PDF button)

Word document pdf printing with vertical and horizontal pages

I have a Word document that has both vertical and horizontal formatted pages. When I print to PDF, the I get a new pdf file whenever a page orientation change is found. pages 1 to 7 are vertical, 8 to 12 are horizontal and 13 to 20 are vertical again. If I print to a file named "out_to_PDF" I get 3 files named "out_to_PDF", "out_to_PDF2" and "out_to_PDF3", the first one with pages 1 to 7, the second one with pages 8 to 12 and the third one with the remaining pages. Is there a way to get only one file with all the pages?
I know I can merge the files later. This file with 20 pages is no problem. I have several 70+ page docs, with multiple changes between horizontal and vertical that will result in 20 or more separate pdf files.
Any pointers?

Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

Printing problem when printing a vector based program generated pdf file

Hi,
I bought a software which comes with a camera auto-focus calibration chart. The manufacturer mentioned that this chart is generated by a vector base program so customers can ajust the size of chart without any problem. The chart file is in pdf format.
When I use my Photoshop CS5 (on Windows 7) to print it from my Epson 2200 inkject printer, it only print the vector part without filling up the inside of the vectors enclosed area to black. Even the words in the footer are printed the vectors only (without fillup the word with black).
I'd appreciate if anyone can help pointing out what's the cause.
Thanks,
Eric

I have tried to print with pdf app as well. Same result.
I found the solution yesterday while searching on line. Ended up it's the Epson 2200 driver bug. I was using Matte Black and the driver thought it is not compatible with Epson Premium Matte paper, so it did not print with that black ink. Change back to Photo Black ink solved it.
So case resolved. Thanks
Eric

Print transparent object in Word to pdf and then to printer ugly.

Dear All,
I have a Word document in which I have a bitmap figure. Over this bitmap I have drawn a green 50% transparent rectangle. When printing this directly from Word to the printer everything is fine, if I print it first to a pdf using Acrobat I get a pdf that looks allright (the transparency is simulated by a very fine checker board pattern) but when I then print this pdf to my printer I get interference in the transparent region, which makes this unusable. My guess is that the printer is trying to print this fine pattern and fails. The solution would be that when printing to a pdf the pdf should contain a transparent rectange instead of a checker board pattern.
Is there anybody with the same problem or someone who knows how to solve this? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Vincent

Problem solved!!
Besides the large bitmap I also had an Excel graph pasted into my Word document. This also gave problems. The solution was to shrink the size of the bitmap by first croping it and that pasting it into the Word document, and the graph from Excel has the be pasted as Windows metafile picture. Then using the PDF button in Word creates a pdf with the correct transparency objects. I cannot print the pdf right now because my printer is down but I have no doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot!!
Vincent

Problems with tablesalignment (from Word to PDF)

Hello,
Ive downloaded the trialversion of Acrobat because our company needs to make little pdf's out of 40/50 documents and i want to try what program is best for our...
The thing is: i just cant get the tables right (sry for my bad english ) This problem exist with: Docx, doc, pdf, etc. etc.
When i have a table, with the upper standardscellsalignment set to 0,1 cm. The tables get messed up when i export it to an PDF. However, when i print it, its normal !!! (???)
The most upper horizontale lines are gone and the vertical connections arent any good.
I tried every setting, but i just cant seem to find whats wrong. I also tried 4 other programs, but same problems (also the standard saveoption in word: save word to pdf makes the same error.
There are 2 weird (part)-solutions: when i dissable the upper standard cell alignment in the table, so set to 0, and then save.... and the problem is gone (but i really need this upper cell alignment).
Other solution: When i dissable all the collours in the table, it is (almost) oke, but not completly. (but this isnt an option also)
I inserted some pictures to give you the full view:
Picture 1: on the left you see the result when i save it with word tot pdf acrobat, on the right you see the originaldocument.
Picture 2: An closeup of the problems with the lines.
Picture 3: The settings in Word, what is causing the problem
Thank you in advance!
