Problem printing odd or even pages

When i print odd pages only, the last page will not be printed. If i print even pages, an extra blank page is printed.
The print dialog preview shows the correct pages to be printed, but the actual prinout differs.
This happens on documents with off number of pages.
Because of this problem, manual duplex printing becomes very difficult. My printer does not have duplex printing option.
I'm using AR v8.1.2

I have a similar problem. With my HP-1200, I need to print even pages in reverse order first. I have a 13-page document. When I print "even-pages only," it prints the following pages in this order: 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 2. It prints page 2 twice! When I put the pages back into the printer and select "odd pages only" (not reversed), it prints pages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, but it does not print page 13.
I installed this Adobe Reader, version 8.1.2 a few days ago. I never had this problem with previous versions of Adobe Reader. I am running Vista Home Premium on my Dell Dimension E520.

  • Printing odd and even pages separately (manual duplex)

    Hi
    I searched the forum and found some similar problems regarding Adobe Reader 8.1.2 : Adobe Reader 8.1.2 doesn't print odd and even pages correctly
    This was posted more than a year ago. A few days ago I encountered the same problem with Adobe Acrobat 8.1.2. I suspected that it could be beacause of outdated software. I then applied incremental patches up to 8.1.5. But the problem still persists.

    The link was about Reader, but I tried it with AA8.1.5 on a 3 page document and did indeed find the same problem. The 1st page printed out, but the 3rd page was missing when printing the odd pages. When printing the even pages, the 2nd page printed out 2 times. The 3rd page never showed up. I think this is what you are talking about. Wonder if they fixed it in AA9?

  • Trouble printing odd or even pages

    While i can print all the pages (1-701) using reader  if i try to segregate them and print only the odd or even pages (to save paper by running them thru a second time on the opposite side)  no matter what i do only 8 pages print and and reader spools thru the rest but fails to send the information to the printer to continue printing

    As far as I know this feature is not driven by the application but by the driver.
    If your driver offer this feature you may use it.
    Of course, if it doesn't you can't apply it.
    As you are asking to end users like you, don't expect that we know every available drivers.

  • Printing odd or even pages

    I'm using a Cannon 3600 printer capable of printing either odd or even pages of a long document when used with MS Word on a PC. However, with Pages on an iMac no such offering seems to be available. Is it possible to do this with Pages 09?

    It can also depend on the application you are using. Which are you using for this project.

  • Different margin for odd and even pages

    Hi there,
    I am writing a book which will be printed in 2 sided paper. Therefor I will need different margin (left and right) for the odd and even pages.
    How is it possible in Pages? I am using Pages 5.2 (1860).
    Thank you.
    Sebastian.

    Indesign & Xpress are professional DTP applications. They can layout pages in any order you can imagine with custom margins. They are also complex to learn & expensive in comparison to Pages.
    There is a trial of Indesign IIRC…
    https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/indesign.html
    Quark also has a trial too…
    http://www.quark.com
    I expect there may be cheaper 'layout' software that is capable of arranging facing pages correctly (possibly from a single pages PDF export from Pages), but I just avoid apps like Pages if I need a finer level of output control.

  • Is it possible to have different margin settings for odd and even pages?

    Hi guys.
    I am formatting a book I want to get printed and it would be very helpful to have different margin settings on the odd and even pages so the text won't fall too close to the gutter (as happened in the proof copy I ordered!).
    It's possible to do this on Word, but I can't seem to do it on Pages? Am I missing something?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Thanks Peter. I upgraded to Pages 5 a while back. I guess my next question is.....is there any way I can downgrade to Pages 09...anywhere I can still download it from?
    Seems a bit of a backward step, but needs must

  • Odd and even pages

    Hello all, Need some help on the xdp that I am working on.
    This xdp has 1 Page Set- set to Print on Both Sides.
    The first master page is the Odd Pages (Front pages).
    The second master page is the Even Pages (Back pages).
    There isn't much logic on the Even Pages as it is only static information.
    The content on the Odd (Front) pages flow and page number grow depending on the XML data I feed into it. I have explicitly set the content to flow through the content are of the Odd (Front) page only. Problem is, when the data breaks, it still puts a record or two on the content area of the Even (Back) page.
    Also, I was hoping that whenever there is an Odd (Front) page, I would assume that it would always have an Even (Back) page, but that is not the case. Sometimes the pages end out on the Odd Page.
    I would like to share the xdp along with the xml that I am working on to this posting. Is there a way to upload this information. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The trouble is that when you have repeating objects they will continue in the container as new instances are added. When the page overflows, Acrobat/Reader is creating a new instance of the page, in which the new instances of the repeating object can be rendered.
    I had an example earlier that "jumped" a section, but in reality what it was doing was when the first page was full, it started to use a similar repeating instance on page3. Here it is, but you will need to have a close look at the script, as this was not annotated: https://acrobat.com/#d=0-YvJ8UcVW7Pyc4hhg3RmQ. It is a bit of a rough workaround, based on the height of the subform (see the click event of the add button on page1).
    You might also be able to get a conditional page break to work if the height of the rows was always the same.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • Problems printing from iPhoto 6: Page setup & Preview

    I am having trouble printing from iPhoto v6. For starters, the miniture preview frame in the print screen does not conform to the paper size selection or image orientation. (It is always a big square.) Only part of a 4x6 image image is seen in the frame. This makes predicting the final result impossible. To make matters harder, the print dialog does not remember what paper size was last used and many internal "Advanced" options reset the paper size to "letter". Simple choosing any printer preset resets the paper size. Switching from advanced options to the iPhoto options seems to alter other selected options as wlll.
    I have the most current driver for my printer. I have no problem printing from Aperture or Photoshop. I have custom color profiles and am not entirely a novice, but I am wasting much paper and ink and spraying the inside of my printer!
    The use of the native iPhoto print routines seems mutually exclusive with using Advanced options. I understood that the first iterations of iPhoto wanted us to depend on the Mac Print routines, and it was always a little touchy but I would have hoped earlier problems would have been sorted out by now. I want to print my own pictures!
    Much confusion and no place to find good instructions. For example, should I be using "Full Page" or "Standard Prints" Standard settings in the print interface? There appear to be several places to select print sizes but they do not seem linked together nor is it obvious which one is determinitive. Under color options do I select Color Corrections <none> or <Colorsync> which then forces me to use driver recommended by Canon despite the fact I have a custom profile identified in Color sync utility. It just isn't working for me.
    Are others notiing that iPhoto print routines are no longer working for them? I would like to see the internal print routines working intuitively before additional efforts are made to facilitate purchase from outside printing sources!

    goldn:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just ran a test and I got a perfect card. Here's what I did.
    1 - create the card and type Command-P.
    2 - select Stylus Photo R200 under Printer
    3 - click on the Advanced button
    4 - in the bottom drop down menu select Paper Handling
    5 - select the radio button "Use documents paper size: 7.00 in x 10.00 in
    6 - now select Print Settings in the 3rd drop down menu
    7 - select the type of paper you're using and the print quality you want. I used Photo and High Speed. (also used plain paper for my test)
    9 - put a piece of 7 x 10 paper in the printer (yes, you'll have to trip the paper beforehand or use card stock designed for this)
    10 - click on Print
    11 - when the paper exits the printer quickly put it back in the printer
    That will do it. Now there is a caveat. Putting it back into the printer before drying tended to get my leading edge nipped. If you use heaver card stock I don't think that will happen but just be aware. If you wait a moment to put the page, turned over, back into the printer to let the ink dry a bit, all you'll have to do is press the middle button which will be blinking red and that will feed the other side thru when you're ready.

  • Why does Firefox have problems printing Yahoo finance portfolio pages?

    Current versions (34.0) of Firefox on Windows and Mac both have printing problems when printing from the Yahoo Finance portfolio website. I don't have problems when printing from IE, Safari, or Opera. Firefox prints a header on page 1 then pages 2 and 3 on top of each other. It doesn't include every stock that I had in my portfolio either. The portfolio page has an interesting feature where it keeps the header of the page at the top and scrolls the rest of the page under it. This probably is what is messing up FF's printing but the other browser vendors don't have a problem. I'm working this problem for my father-in-law who's running Windows 7 while I'm on a Mac running Yosemite. I can duplicate the problem on Windows 7, XP, and OSX all running the latest version of FF. To test, I created a portfolio with a bunch of random stocks then tries printing. I got perfect output on every browser except FF.
    Sorry, I'm not installing any other Firefox software. This problem is on the platforms I mentioned. I can submit a pdf of sample output, both good and bad, if you like.

    More info. I have AdBlock running and thought that might have been the reason I could print from Safari but installing AdBlock on Firefox gave me the same results. Yahoo has a bunch of ads under the header and some use Flash. Having them there doesn't affect printing on other web browsers. I created a pdf file then opened it in a drawing problem and noticed a huge blank block in the middle of page one. This is what is pushing the stock data down to page 2. It shouldn't be there so FF is interpreting the ad area with the scrolling as a large block instead of ignoring it. I added three images. The first shows a correct page 1 (Safari), while the next two show how FF prints it.

  • Keynote '09 Handouts - Problem printing 6 slides per page

    With Keynote '09, I'd like to print handouts of 6 slides per page, where the slides are of reasonable size, take up most of the space on the page, and are not oriented in a single vertical column. I used to be able to accomplish this with earlier versions of Keynote, but can't figure it out in Keynote '09. Anyone know the secret? Seems like a major flaw in the software.

    In the Print dialog box, tell Keynote to print Individual Slides. Then go to Layout and tell the printer to print 6 slides per page and select the layout option that you would like.

  • How do I "Print Booklet" with just odd pages and even pages for duplexing . . options disabled

    I have InDesign CS5.5 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine hooked to a Xerox 7750 printer.  I have created a 8.5x11 portrait document and trying to create a booklet on 12x18 sheets.
    I need to print duplex manually and so I need to print just the odd spreads and then the even spreads.
    I have printed to Adobe PDF and printed from my created PDF file and have it working, but I want to know why InDesign won't let me do it.  When I click "File > Print Booklet > Print Settings" then it shows the Print Dialog box with the Pages section, which includes the Sequence that normally would allow me to do Odd Pages or Even Pages, but it is disabled.  Why?  I can define Print Presets and I can choose Odd Pages, but when I choose that in the Preset box it does not show anything, everything is still disabled.
    Anybody have any idea of why it is disabled?  Is it my printer driver?

    I too was very frustrated after upgrading to indesign cs5.5 and the latest LION OS on my new MAC.  I missed the odd/even page selection in the print dialog box within Indesign.  I tried about everything and found little of value in various forums.  But I did find a workable solution that makes since in terms of Apple's OS.
    My objective is to "impose" my document and also end up with a file that I can just print again and again without "ripping" in the InDesign Print Booklet Dialog.
    Here is the quick version of what to do.  I am not including every little step with pictures. =)  (I can if there is interest.)
    1. create your document
    2. Print Booklet
    3. At the first dialog box, just ignore the printer in print preset (you will come back to this) and go to the 2-up perfect bound option and select 16 page signatures.  This will impose 2-up on 4 physical pieces of paper printed both sides.  So 16 of your document pages printed duplex on 4 physical sheets of paper.  It would be nice to then just select the printer and scaling, etc. and the option to print even pages, flip over and then print odd pages but that ain't an option.  If you have different needs, do the math and input the correct numbers before proceeding
    4. Click on Print Settings  to pull up a second dialog box.
    5. Select for Printer PostScript File (not your printer)  Also select for PPD your printer or Adobe PDF 9 if you have that installed.  Don't obsess on this just pick your Printer for the PPD.
    6. Select 1 copy and All Pages while in the General Tab
    7. Select the Setup Tab Here is where you put in the actual physical paper size that you are going to print your document on. Don't scale to fit.  You must do this.  If you feel the need, check out all the tabs and options but for now, you are just trying to get an output file.  You probably do want to select CENTER for page position in this same setup tab.
    8. Hit OK whcih will return you to the original dialog.  Check when you return to be sure that at the top Printer is populated with PostScript File.  Click on Print and give the thing a name and a location to save at the resulting dialog.
    Breathe as you are almost home.  You have sucessfully created a file that can be called up again and again without opening InDesign. (albeit, a postscript file but not a problem)
    Now,
    1. Double click on this new file (it will have a .ps extention) or just open it in your PREVIEW (apple supplied utility)   Preview is where you accomplish the even and odd page objective.
    2. Preview will show you a short progress dialog while it rips this postscript file into a PDF.
    3. Click on PRINT
    4. Select your printer,page range, select the Paper Size (again not document size  but  the size sheet that you are printing the 2-up , imposed (booklet) document on. If not in the selection dialog, then use the custom option to create it (custom paper size) and give it a name.
    5. Click on SCALE and insert 100% in place of the weird number that it will insert for you.  You will then see your document correctly displayed in the sidebar preview window.
    6.  OK, now what you have been waiting for. Click on the box that says Preview (the active window) and select Paper Handling from the drop-down and select from Pages to Print the coveted odd or even page selection.  You can also do other things that should have been back at the InDesign print dialog but are now gone.  Explore. Enjoy.
    7.  You will have to work out your own work flow about reverse or no reverse order and how to flip, etc. But you will be working with something predictable at this point.
    8.  Since this has been ripped into a PDF , you might as well Click on the PDF button and click on save as a PDF at this point to save that postscript to PDF rip.   Also print using PREVIEW for the newly created PDF file next time as you will not have to learn a bunch of new dialogs and be frustrated all over again.
    I am now back in business printing the book blocks for my handbound journals.

  • Can I print only odd pages or even pages?

    Hi,
    I would like to be able to print only odd pages, then turn the stack over and print the even pages. I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. Some need to be printed this way. My old PC would do this. The tech support at HP says the problem is the Mac printer software doesn't have the option to print only odd or even pages. -Kentar

    Hi kentar,
    You wrote:
    "I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. "
    You can do this with Adobe Reader.
    Simply press Command-P to summon the Print dialogue box, and then in the Subset box, select Odd pages from the drop-down menu.
    Check the box for 'Reverse Pages' if you like.
    I generally print the odd pages first in reverse order, and then just turn the stack over and then print even pages in forward order.

  • Different Odd Even page body

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where the body of the report is different for odd and even pages.
    I am able to get the requirement done with XSL-FO, but I need it with Microsoft Word Template.
    Can any one please suggest on this.
    Regards,
    G V Ranjith

    From what I understand you want to print data on one page and then the terms on the next page?
    And you have no idea when the page goes from one to the next?
    My first suggestion would be to print the report as you normally would and then turn the paper around and print the T&C
    on the back of every page, although I understand that this is obviously not what you want.
    Their printer has the feature to print on both sides or do they have to physically turn the report around and put it back into the printer?
    Not sure how you would be able to find the difference unless you can somehow count the lines per page and then put in a page break
    after a certain amount. According to your needs you would also need to place different header on the first page than the rest of the report.
    How far have you got so far? If you want you can email me a copy and I can try play around with it:

  • Forcing pages to start from odd/even pages

    Hi,
    I have a book with this kind of documents in it:
    1) Cover, starting on an odd page.
    2) 2nd of Cover, starting on an even page.
    3) TOC, starting from an odd page.
    4) Main content, starting from an odd page.
    InDesign CS5 lets me define a general setting with Book panel > Book Page Starting Option. However, I don't see any setting to let me force each document/chapter to start from an odd or even page. Is there something like this somewhere?
    Without this kind of control, I must choose Continue on the next page as a general rule, with the risk of having some chapters start on the wrong page.
    Paolo

    Peter, I think this is the correct solution. Very easy to do, since the first paragraph of a page that must start on a particular side is usually a "special" paragraph (chapter title, legals, TOC, and so on).
    In case the page begins with an illustration, I can try with a hidden paragraph, or a paragraph containing text of the same color of the page.
    This is, however, something that InDesign could learn from FrameMaker, whose book documents can start each one from a separate side.
