Problem when printing a PDF file

I am currently using Pagemaker 7 and after I create a PDF file and then email it to my client, the image shrinks when they print it out on their printer. If I print that same PDF file on my printer it does not shrink. Can anyone explain why this happens and how I can correct this problem? Would be must appreciated.

Screen captures are a good way to show people how to set page scaling to none

How do you reduce the size of the print diolog box when printing a pdf file?

How do you reduce the size of the print diolog box when trying to print a PDF file? The print button is below the task bar.

What is your monitor's screen resolution? See http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html

How can I fix a printing problem: message cannot print document: "no pages selected to print" when printing a pdf file.

I am having problems printing a pdf document. When I select a file to print and try to print it says that "no pages selected to print". The default all pages was selected by me but the message keeps coming up. I recently installed adobe reader version 11. Rebooted the computer but sitll having issues printing docs.

Hi Pat.
Yes, both of them lead to the very same error.
I have a workaround, kind of, where I preview the document and select all the pages that are correct (read showing on the pages preview) as included in the 1st screenshot.
As you can see in the first screenshot, the 5th page seems to be non-existandt, however as I try to preview it from the 3rdP software, it comes up just fine and from there I can print it individually... just annoying when you have 50 pages and 6 of then are randomly not showing up.
If I try to print the whole document, it simply gives me the 2nd, 3rd and 4th screenshots.
As for the 3rdP software, as stated in prior posts, it has been working flawlesly for the last 5 years, and has not been updated in any way, shape of form... As you said, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into that, however I don't believe the contract for the software maintenance is still in effect...
Thanks.

FireFox crashes when printing bigger pdf files

We are using the setting "Preview in FireFox" for pdfs and when we try to print a larger file (over 60 pages or so), the print progress bar makes it to about 90% and then FireFox crashes. We have the latest version, 27.0.1, and I've tried reseting Firefox under Help>Troubleshooting Info and also uninstalled and reinstalled the program but still having the same issue. I'm able to print the file just fine in other browsers (or at least in Chrome). Can someone please help?

My best guess would be to troubleshoot the printer settings in Firefox and then talk to the Printer Support. [[Fix printing problems in Firefox]] . If it continues to crash please submit a crash report and post it to a new question with the "bp-"
We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Printer not selectable from drop down when printing any pdf file. Printer is available when printing any other file format.

Client is running Adobe Acrobat X. When trying to print their Ricoh printer can not be seen in the drop down menu. The Printer was added locally and the printer can print any other file format.

Your ps file should be good, the problem likely resides elswehere. Maybe in your acrobat install, distillers settings. what error did distiller give?
Mine ran good and got a multi page document, here is a screenshot to help you troubleshoot.
On mac go to system preferences / print and fax / and change your default printer if you have another option. I know sounds like this should not help, but there are problems like Illustrator for example not making .pdfs if you do not have a printer chosen or an old or corrupt .ppd assigned.

When printing a PDF file I would like to ensure that all 'chapters' print on the odd numbered pages.

I need a way to set up a PDF file so that when I print it all new chapters (and single sided forms) print on the odd pages. These PDFs are available for viewing on the network but occasionally there is a demand to print one of them. Is there a 'chapter start' (or similar command) which will allow the PDF to more properly format when printing.

There's no automated process because I don't think Acrobat could determine what was the beginning of a chapter. However, you can insert blank pages that start the first page of chapters to an odd-numbered page.
In Acrobat XI, that is Tools > Pages > More Insert Options > Insert Blank Page

When printing a PDF file, my HP Desljet printer first prints a blank page. How can I fix this?

This only occurs when printing a saved PDF file. Word and other applications work fine on the first try.
PDF Forms

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Rendering Problem when printing to PDF using PDFCreator.

When I print my report to PDF using PDF Creator it overlays the text over itself vs when i export to pdf and then print it prints it fine, can anyone enlighten me as to why it does this?

Hi Raudel,
According to your description, you can export the report to PDF and print it well. However, when you print the report directly to PDF with PDF Creator, fields are overlapping.
Since you mentioned the report can display correctly after you export the report to PDF then print it, we can make sure the PDF rendering can work fine with reporting services. So it should not be the issue in Reporting Services. As we tested in our environment,
when print the report directly to PDF with PDF Creator, report also display well. In your scenario, it supposed to be issue with PDF Creator. I suggest you contact the PDF Creator vendor to get some more effective advices.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

READ_TEXT: format problem when printing to PDF

Hello everybody,
I am using READ_TEXT function module to get long text then display to PDF format.
I met a problem with format as following:
The long text has bold format, for e.g.: This is bold text.
The READ_TEXT FM will then read the data as: <H>This is bold text.</>
When output to PDF instead of display as This is bold text., it is displaying <H>This is bold text.</>
Please suggest me how to fix this.
Thanks,
Khanh

Hi Khanh ,
Below is the sample code for your reference .
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
CLIENT = SY-MANDT
ID = 'ZG01'
LANGUAGE = 'EN'
NAME = TH_INDATA_F01-VBELN_A
OBJECT = 'VBBK'
IMPORTING
HEADER =

LINES = TD_LINE
EXCEPTIONS
ID = 1
LANGUAGE = 2
NAME = 3
NOT_FOUND = 4
OBJECT = 5
REFERENCE_CHECK = 6
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
OTHERS = 8.
Here lines = td_line refers to Lines of text read
The table contains all text lines belonging to a text module. The line structure is defined in table TLINE. The line contents are stored in ITF format.
Hope this helps you .

Problem when printing from PDF created by InDesign

Ok, here's the scenario!
I have a flyer, created in InDesign. I have drawn a grey curve (in InDesign) which goes at the top of each page.
I import a transparent logo in PSD format, and place it on top of the grey curve.
In InDesign and when I PDF it, it looks fine (at any zoom level).
However when I print it, there is a slight outline around the transparent logo and it has a slightly different shade of grey as its background (it stands out from the curve).
Does anyone know why this could be? I also tried importing the logo with the same grey background as in InDesign but the same problem occurs.
Any help appreciated!

If you can't select composite CMYK it means your printer isn't postscript, or you aren't using the postscript driver option if one is available.
Since this is a printer-related function, not a property of the file itself, you don't want to do anything to your pdf to compensate. That's the printer's job, if necessary, when he processes your PDF.

Ad2kregp.dll error when printing to PDF file

Greetings,
I use Acrobat 7.0 to print reports from a home grown SQL Server application to PDF on a Dell laptop with WinXP. When I'm logged on in the office everything works fine. When I try it from home via VPN I get the follwoing error message:
Access violation at address 70001CC7 in module 'AD2KReGP.DLL'. Read of address 00000000.
I searched both the knowledge base and forums and have found no matches to my situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian McCulloch

One of my users was getting the same error message when trying to print to a pdf from freq12. This problem is an adobe problem though. What I did to fix the problem was I got a copy of the 'AD2KReGP.DLL' from a computer that adobe was working fine on and replaced the bad one with it. The location of the file to be replaced is: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3
After replacing the bad file with the file from another computer it worked great. Hopefully this helps.

Margins problem when printing to PDF (Pages '09 v4.0.3 build 766)

Hi,
I don't know if this is connected to the latest Mac OS X v10.6.4 update, but some of my machines exhibit a very curious behaviour.
+ multiple pages A4 document
+ choose File > Print, click on "Save as PDF", under the PDF button
++ set pages 6 & 7 to print
++ set 2 pages per spread, so as to have Pages shrink the A4 document to somewhat A5, and have the two pages side-by-side on the same sheet
++ save the PDF
Then, when I open the PDF with Preview, the margins are all wrong (i.e. too big, there's too much white running around).
And from Preview's inspector, I can tell that the Page Size is set to US Letter, although in Pages both the document size AND the Printing Format are set to A4.
The most curious part of the story is that my MacPro, my work MacBook Pro 13 and a white MacBook exhibit the problem, whereas my personal iMac 27" DOES NOT.
And they are all running Mac OS X v10.6.4, with ALL the most recent updates, and the exact same version of Pages!!!
I suspect that something has been changed in a framework somewhere, but I cannot figure out what it is...
Any idea is welcome!
Thanks,
K2r

I can do the same in TextEdit (although it's even more painful to control the margins!!).
My problem is not that Pages won't put pages on one sheet; It's that the generated PDF does not respect the sheet physical size (A4 vs. US Letter), thus adding wider margins all around the document.

Color problems when printing from PDF created in Pages

I have created a newsletter in Pages, and have used the Export > PDF so that the file can be sent to a professional printer. One of the graphics (created by an outside graphic designer and put into my Pages document as a jpg file) prints in all sorts of bizarre colors - nothing like how it displays on the screen. Is there some sort of color formatting that I can do to make it print in the correct color?

The Pages pdf will have many more problems than this case of mismatched color profiles.
Unless you really know what you are doing avoid using Pages for commercial output. For a start all your bitmaps will have been rendered to a too low 72dpi resolution.

Acrobat 9.5.1 Crashing when printing secure pdf files

Had this problem with all versions of 9.0 or later, updated in hopes of it fixing the problem. Acrobat just stops working when I try to print secure files. They work fine on machines with older versions of acrobat or reader though. I've tried going to Preferences/General to turn of Certified mode but it's enabled Yes is greyed out and does not allow me to change it.

It will start to send pages to the printer, showing the Progress bar but then it will Stop Working.

Photosmartc4975 (win7) freezes when printing multipage pdf files.

After several pages (random number usually about 3) it stops in the middle of the page and printer freezes. Needs restart.
The printer is set up as network printer.
Any known solution?
Thank you

Hi,
the 'Print' button you describe is the 'Print' button of the Adobe PDF reader ActiveX control.
Start>Adobe Reader>Edit>Preferences>Internet>uncheck "Display PDF in browser"
and
Internet Options>Advanced tab, uncheck "Do not save encrypted files to disk"
