Problem printing fra Acrobat 8 and Indesign CS3

Hi Forum
My setup is a Powermac G5 with 10.5.8 and a Epson 1400 and a Epson c8500. I have checked, that I'm using the latest drivers from Epson.
My problem is then I print A4 PDF documents to these two printers, the prints will be cropped, it actually seem like the top and bottom margins of the printable area are wrong. Scaling is set to none and I have also tried printing as an image.
I have tried using Acrobat 8, Adobe Reader 9 and Indesign CS3, also behave the same.
If I use Preview, my prints will look just fine.
I tried the same from a Macbook pro with 10.5.8 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and from this computer things work correctly.
So it's seems to be a problem with an Adobe related file or setting.
anybody seen this before?
kind regards
Lars

Our office is printing fine from ID & PS CS3. This is from Intel & PPC Mac's running 10.4.9.
What is your printer and how is it configured for printing, ie USB or IP.
Also, have a look at the cups error log. You can find this via System Profiler > Software > Logs. This will show which process is failing for the spooled job. You can post it back here for more help.

  • Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3

    Different Colors when printing from Photoshop and InDesign CS3
    I have the following problem:
    When printing from Photoshop or InDesign to a PostScript printer, Adobe recommends to let Photoshop handle the colors (I use the German version, so I don't know the exact term used, it changes slightly in all CS3 apps anyway).
    The manufacturer however told me to let the PostScript printer handle the colors.
    When I chose this option in Ps's print dialog and then choose ISO Coated as the printer pfofile, the results are fine.
    But when I place the exact same image in an InDesign file and print from InDesign or export to PDF and print via Acrobat, again using "Printer handles colors", the results are the exact same as if I had used Ps and chosen to let Ps handle the colors (way too saturated and a bit too red).
    ·Photoshop CS3
    ·InDesign CS3
    ·Test image is a TIFF in CMYK Fogra 27 Coated (which is also the working color space in Ps and ID.
    ·Printer: Xerox Docucolor 3535
    ·Printer profile: ISO Coated
    How can I make sure the printer handles the colors in other CS3 apps than Ps? I tried it with ID's print dialog (translated from the German version: Color Management > Options > Color Handling: PostScript-printer decides colors).
    Thanks a lot!

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Tabloid duplex printing problem from CS4 (Acrobat and InDesign)

    I cannot print a two-page tabloid (landscape mode) pdf document properly from a MacBook Pro or a Mac Pro running 10.6.2 using Adobe Products (Acrobat 8 or 9, or InDesign CS3 or CS4) to an HP LJ5550DN. The printed version prints on both sides of the paper, but the right 1/4 of each page doesn't print. Furthermore, if I reboot and print just one side, it prints fine, but when I select duplex I get this problem and if I try to print just one side again, it prints w/o the 1/4 of the right side of the paper.
    I can print the tabloid duplex correctly using Preview on the same computers. I can also print correctly using Acrobat 7 from a Mac G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11. I can print a single tabloid sheet correctly from Illustrator CS3 or CS4 from the Snow Leopard computers, but since Illustrator doesn't handle more than one page, can't send it duplex.
    I conclude that the problem is the Adobe software under Snow Leopard. If you know what is wrong with the Adobe software, please send me the fix - it would streamline the process.

    I'm having exactly the same problem, with a 5500dn. As with you, the problem is present in both CS3 and Acrobat 8 and 9, and I can print a duplex A3/tabloid PDF correctly with Preview. (only the colour balance is rubbish!)
    Mac OS 10.6.2, print driver HP Color Laserjet 5500 v3010.107 (although it's obviously not the driver).
    Needless to say, any solution to this needs to address CS3 and later apps.
    Bug report filed.
    Thanks,

  • Printing facing thumbnails in indesign cs3

    I seem to be having trouble printing thumbnails with adobe indesign CS3 version 5.0.3.
    My document is 72 pages long including covers, mainly consisting of placed raster images, the document size is 173.9 mb. My aim is to print a thumbnail version of my document with facing pages portrait on a3 pages preferably 10-12 spreads per sheet. This would enable me to study my document as an overview, allow me to present it to my colleagues as a hard copy for discussion and give me the opportunity to ***** the flow of the document as a finished piece.
    Thumbnail printing under the print - setup option only allows thumbnail printing as page batches of 1x2 2x2 3x3 4x4 5x5 and so on. If anyone has found an alternative solution to my thumbnail printing problem I would appreciate it if they could share it with me.
    n.b. My system requirements are, mac osx version 10.5.4, dual 2 ghz power pc G5 with 6gb ram. My printers are xerox workcentre 7335 & xerox workcentre pro C2128.
    Also, thanks to Bob - Adobe Writer, for patience and forum user guidance.

    I have created a template using a generic pdf that has the thumbnails
    arranged how I want them using a generic link called thumbs.pdf. I
    replace the thumbs.pdf with a LOW res copy of the document I'm working on.
    See attached and then set something up like it, but suited for your needs.

  • Acrobat and InDesign CS5 file issue

    Hi everyone...
    My issue is that Acrobat won't or can't convert InDesign CS5 files. It opens Illustrator and Photoshop and converts them to pdf's but not InDesign.
    I've tried everything. I've even tried Adobe tech help. No luck. It was a relatively easy procedure in CS4, not to mention a time saver.
    Is there someone that knows how to resolve this? Please help as I'm desperate to avoid having to convert all my InDesign files one at a time.

    Hi Matthew-
    Our workflow often involves combining multiple IND files into a pdf.  With CS4, we merely opened acrobat, clicked "Merge Files into a Single PDF" and dropped in the indesign files we wished to combine. Presto- we had one PDF with all IND files put together without having to go through indesign.
    In response to your post, I only have CS5 installed, and it seems as though Acrobat doesn't recognize ID CS5 as a program at all.   I believe I am current on all InDesign and Acrobat 9 updates to date - I'm running InDesign7.0.2 and Acrobat 9.3.4.
    When trying to open IND files through Acrobat, Acrobat launches and gives an error message that states: "Please select a file created by an application that resides on your computer."
    Acrobat can't call InDesign CS5 to open at all.  Could this be because Acrobat was not updated along with the CS5 suite and therefore doesn't recognize the new CS5 Indesign files?
    I read another blog that mentioned it could be a registry problem- they ran CCleaner and ran the registry fix.  Then uninstalled and reinstalled both Acrobat and Indesign.  What are your thoughts on this method?  It's hard for me to try this on my own, as it requires an administrative login- our IT department has us locked out.  I would like another opinion before I ask them to help.
    Do you forsee a fix from Adobe in the future?
    Thanks for your help!

  • Photoshop and InDesign CS3 keep quitting unexpectedly

    I'm having issues with Photoshop and InDesign CS3 quitting unexpectedly. At first it was every once in a while, now it's happening numerous times a day and is becoming most irritating. I'm using a mac with OS X. I wasn't here when they installed CS3 and am the only one in the company with a mac so the computer services department won't be any help.

    Run the normal maintenance tasks including Repair Permissions.
    If it still crashes make sure that the TWAIN plug-in has been disabled and try trashing Photoshop's Prefs.
    Otherwise, suspect bad Fonts. FontAgent Pro can ferret those out for you.
    (Because it is also happening in InDesign, I suspect that bad or duplicated fonts are involved.)

  • Printing problem with new Intel iMac and Indesign CS3

    Hi there,
    this might not be the right place to ask for, but has anybody here experienced printing problems in Indesign CS3 with Tiger?
    I just installed the software and tried to print out of Indesign, but nothing. I can see on the panel that data is beeing received but no printing action. And this is just out of the new Indesing CS3.
    Any suggestions?
    Best

  • Network printing and Indesign cs3

    Since updating to 10.5.3 network printing has not worked with indesign cs3. We are now using 10.5.4.
    It worked with 10.4.x on the same network. I don't think the printer or the printer driver is the problem but if it matters we are using an hp deskjet 940c. Driver for the printer was updated in February when we purchased the macbook pro we are using.
    I've read a bunch of stuff on this and given that it works in 10.4.x with the same printer, drivers, and application program, I'm forced to conclude the problem lies in the OS which is the only difference.
    Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Hello Rich,
    Can you explain how the printer is networked. Is it shared by another or does it have its own ip address? (Don't know the model so sorry for the question)
    If it is a standalone networked printer, what connection method (protocol) do you use for the printer queue?
    Are you able to print from other applications?
    Can you post the last 10 entries of the cups error log. You can find this by opening the printer queue, clicking the work Printer in the menu bar and selecting 'Log & History'.

  • Problems with PDF and InDesign CS3

    Hello,
    We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to
    PDF.
    To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files
    for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting
    on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our
    new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will
    both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
    We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages),
    and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency
    Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF
    types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality
    and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and
    if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that
    allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if
    we are going to experience these problems, we will have to
    eliminate these wonderful tools.
    Can you help me or lead me to information online that will
    help.
    Thank you,
    Lain

  • Problem printing to Acrobat 5.0 Distiller from CS3

    I am unable to print to Distiller all of the sudden from my Illustrator CS3.  When I hit print is says that it is unable to print to disitiller and there is an error and to click to troubleshoot.  I did that and it was not helpful.  I also tried to print to distiller from Word and same issue.
    I can open all of the Adobe products so not sure why it won't print to them?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Please repost in the Acrobat forum. Please give OS information and the exact version number of Acrobat 5. In the meantime you can try to delete the printer instance, then repair the installation of Acrobat by using the menu item under the Help menu.

  • Frame 7.2 and InDesign CS3 Distiller conflict

    I am using Frame 7.2b128, Distiller 7.0. I recently installed InDesign CS3, which uses Distiller 8.0.
    Whenever I work in InDesign and create a final PDF, and then go back to working in Frame and generate a PDF by using Save As ..PDF (working in a book with all files open), I get "Internal Error 7204..."
    In the past, the only way I could recover was to uninstall and reinstall Frame. Today even that won't work.
    1. How can I generate a PDF in Frame? I get the same error when I use Print to file...
    2. How can I configure my system to use either Distiller 7.0 or Distiller 8.0 all the time, and which should it be? Will this fix the problem?

    Indesign's interaction with Distiller is no different from Frame's: From
    either application you can print to the Adobe PDF printer instance. From
    there, Acrobat takes over and the originating application (Frame or
    Indesign) no longer plays a part in the PDF creation process.
    Do you run into the same problem when you Export to PDF from Indesign?
    Indesign's Export to PDF does not involve Distiller in any way.
    Have you tried redirecting the Adobe PDF printer's output to File,
    instead of to the Adobe PDF port (in the Ports tab of the Adobe PDF
    printer instance)? This shouldn't change anything for you, except to
    separate the two processes (printing and distilling). My guess is that
    the error you're seeing is a problem with Distiller, not with Frame. But
    if you're printing to the Adobe PDF port it's kind of hard to figure out
    where things are going wrong. If you change the port to File, you can
    print to a PS file from Frame, close Frame, and then distill the PS
    file. Obviously any error you see at that point is not from Frame.
    Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat 7?
    I wouldn't bother buying Acrobat 8 just to fix this problem, although
    uninstalling Acrobat 7 and reinstalling some version of Acrobat might
    fix it. Plenty of people are running IDCS3, Frame 7.2, and Acrobat 7
    without these problems (me being one of them).

  • Export to pdf vs. print to pdf, from InDesign CS3

    We are using Indesign CS3 on Windows XP. We are creating documents for offset printing, with 300dpi photos placed in the document. We are finding that when we "EXPORT" to pdf, and choose a "high quality print", the pdf is fine. However, if we 'print to pdf' and choose "high quality print", the photos in our pdf are more pixellated, and appear to be 150 dpi or lower resolution. Is this a problem with CS3? Does it make any difference how the tiff files have been placed, or sized, in InDesign? Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    In the print dialog, when printing to PDF, under the graphics panel, make sure you change the default value of "Optimized Subsampling" to "all" for the "Send Image Data" field.

  • Acrobat (and InDesign) performance issues after virus

    Hi everyone,
    we have a problem with our system (spec listed below);
    System
    Dell Precision T7400
    CPU(s): dual quad core Xeons
    RAM: originally 2GB, upgraded to 4GB 1 day ago
    OS: XP 32-bit
    Adobe Software: Originally CS3 Suite, now CS5 Suite
                             Acrobat 9 Pro
    Problem
    Acrobat: 1. stutters slowly when scrolling, almost crashes
                 2. Takes 4X longer than before to "Reduce file size" for PDFs
    InDesign: stutters slowly when working with text, almost crashes
    Cause
    Virus infultrated system about 1 month ago.
    Attempts
    1. Re-imaged disc and installed software based mirroring software with 2 extra backup drives: system still lags
    2. Re-formatted, reinstalled: system still lags
    3. Turned off mirroring: helped a little
    4. Ran various memory, motherboard tests: nothing found
    5. varified all BIOS and firmware up to date
    6. Uninstalled mirroring software, installed hardware based mirroring software, reformatted, reinstalled: system still lags
    7. Tried working with files directly from C:/ with no mirroring: system still lags
    8. Installed fresh 4GB memory: system still lags
    9. Have tried all methods of helping InDesigns performance but no luck.
    Thoughts
    Comparing this system to my old laptop (Centrino Dual Core), the laptop runs about 4X faster since the virus. Before the virus, this system was a dream to work with, super fast speed, never lagged.
    I keep thinking that the virus must have damaged somthing on the motherboard, but error messages or motherboard beep codes.
    Any other suggestions (short of shotting this system) would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you sure it only happens with Acrobat and ID, it could be a faltering hard drive
    As far as I can tell. Photolop and Illustrator work fine, haven't had time to try the rest of the CS5 Suite apps.
    I've ran tests on the C drive (10k rpm) and the added 1TB drives. Same results for all; lag lag lag.

  • Problems printing to Acrobat

    Hi there,
    I used to be able to print from InDesign CS4 to Acrobat PDF, but I'm not longer able to do this (I think since installing Leopard Snow). In any case, I can export to PDF, but then the colours are converted to RGB, which, obviously is no good for printing.
    Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way I can add acrobat pdf to my printers so I can print there directly and have high quality pdf documents?
    I appreciate any help!
    Thanks,
    N.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply and sorry for being so vague.
    Well, this is my issues.
    I don't seem to be able to print to Adobe Acrobat. Before I upgraded to Snow Leopard I could do: Command + P and it would open the print window. Now, among my printers, the Acrobat PDF printer was in there, but now, since I have installed Snow Leopard, it's not there anymore.
    I am able to export my inDesign files through Command + E, but when I do so, I'm not able to change the settings for CMYK, so if I need to print my PDF, it only keeps the RGB values. You mentioned I can change that, but I have looked everywhere and can't find it.
    I'm running CS4 and I just don't know how to get my Acrobat PDF printer back, that was what I was using. If there's a way of doing it with the export, I'm more than happy to do that. Like I said, I just don't seem to find where to change the values so that my PDF stays with CMYK and not RGB.
    I don't know if that explains better my problem. If not, please let me know so I can get this issue resolved.
    Thanks,
    N.

  • Solution to the problem printing from Acrobat 9.4.2

    Since there are nearly 200 posts in the original thread, It might be best (for those looking for a quick solution) to do this in a new thread.
    The problem is that you cannot print to a network printer from Acrobat (pro) 9.4.2.  Printing to a local (USB) printer seems okay.
    The solution (for us) was found at http://www.hypersensory.com/content/fix-printing-after-installing-adobe-acrobat-942-update
    The approach I tested was:
    [T]he fast and easy way:
    1.) go to the installation directory of Acrobat (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat)
    2.) Look for the file "Adobe.Acrobat.Dependencies.manifest"
    3.) Open it and delete the line <file name="atl.dll" />
    4.) Reboot your machine after saving that file
    This should fix the issue of being unable to print PDF file after installing 9.4.2 update for Adobe Acrobat.
    With thanks to the folks at HyperSensory.com!  It works!

    Could someone from Adobe respond to this specific issue so that we know we are being heard?  Will the fix for the print issue also resolve the 'attach to email' problem?  Is there any work around other than telling users to attach directly from their email programs?
    Thanks in advance for your response to our concerns.
