Problem with printing to PDF from ID

I am having trouble printing my ID document as a PDF using "export" or print options. See screen shots for error messages.

First off, you are not PRINTING to PDF, you are EXPORTING to PDF, which is the preferred method here. You can try export to .idml (see Remove minor corruption by exporting), but most likely there's a problem on one of the pages that won't get fixed that way. For troubleshooting tips, see Adobe Community: File Crashing on Output - printing/PDF/other

Text problems with printing to PDF from AutoCAD 2011

When we print to PDF from AutoCAD, the text in the PDF looks wrong/bad. It takes on a jagged appearance and doesn't look anything like what the font is supposed to look like. Any suggestions?

Yup. It's not that it won't do it, it is just limited to 129". Thanks for the thought. When you print in Acrobat you can see the document size and the page size the program is assuming below the print window. The properties have been set, document adjusted, page size customized. It works exactly as it's designed (according to Adobe help, their knowledge base, etc) but only up to 129". Can do it at any size, decminal, etc. up to and including 129 inches. Prints beautiful, doesn't get chopped no issues at all. Just hits a wall at 129". Been doing it with blueprints for years. Just never needed it this big. In my case it's not a printer/plotter limitation. It's the Adobe PDF printer which is advertised to be able to cusomize page size to 15,000 inches.
Tried customizing in post script, no luck there either.
Again, I very much appreciate the suggestions....

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

Problems with print to pdf with Acrobat Pro 9 and FireFox 8

***The page I am using for my base is: http://blogs.adobe.com/digitalpublishing/2010/12/google-ebooks.html
***I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and FireFox 8 installed.
The problem with FireFox is when I select a part of a web page and try to print that selected text the first line gets chopped, if the text is small the first line might even be missing completely. Perhaps it is a margin issue but not sure how to modify this.
I know I am not being very clear but if anybody has any ideas or would like further info please let me know.
Thank you.

I suspect if you do the same process with a print to paper, you will get the same result. I got the same result with SeaMonkey, but IE8 printed the full font to a PDF. That would suggest it is not Acrobat, but the browser. As I said, suggests, so be careful about drawing your conclusions.

Problems with export to PDF from C# code

Problems with Printing a PDF of DWG with details as raster refernces???...

So, I'm trying to print a detail sheet that has a few client details refenced as raster images among our own details. Made a PDF using Adobe PDF. Unfortunately, when printing the PDF of this sheet, somehow the raster details get scaled down and a huge black border appears around where the extents of the original image was in the PDF....
After doing some more digging I noticed that if I uncheck "print as image" in Adobe, the problem goes away. Unfortunately, the "print as image" option is generally very helpful for printing large drawings or drawing sets...
Any idea how to fix???
Thanks guys!

I looked at the specs, and it seems this printer has PostScript emulation.
The Australian stores I looked at showed that PS was an option with this model, with the Samsung proprietary language as standard.
These days, emulators are quite good,
I've never seen a machine running a PS emulator do a good job with a large file, especially when it is a multifunction as the CPU still has to be informed of the other functions while it is processing the spool file.
so I would be more likely to suspect that you would get more bang for the buck by adding memory to the printer. You could probably find that fairly inexpensively, if you go for third-party memory. Manufacturer-supplied memory for printers is usually outrageously expensive.
Agree with this. More memory would help if it hasn't got the maximum already and vendor supplied memory is always dearer than 3rd party.
Other ways to get around memory limitations are to print only a few pages at a time, and also to turn off collation.
Collation is an issue when performing multiple copies. But when the file is a multiple page single document then the Collate button has no impact.

Problem with printing after migrating from 3.5 to 4.1

Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on an application that was recently migrated (by someone else) from Flex 3.5 to Flex 4.1 and I discovered the printing doesn't work properly anymore. So I tried to find out what the problem was and after many tries, I came to the conclusion that the problem was within the following line:
printJob.addObject(myPrintView,FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
(Of course "myPrintView" is not the real name used in the app but that's not important)
I searched on the Internet and this line is supposed to work in 4.1, isn't it? However, the printed version cuts my PrintAdvancedDataGrid approximately in half. I tried to change the width property from myPrintView but the grid is still cut at the same place, its cells are just distorted.
FYI, you can find a part of the code right here:
var printJob:FlexPrintJob = new FlexPrintJob();
                    if (printJob.start()) {
     //A lot of code to build the print view
myPrintView.width=1280;
printJob.addObject(myPrintView,FlexPrintJobScaleType.MATCH_WIDTH);
printJob.send();
myPanel.removeChild(myPrintView);
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Gudril

While looking for a solution on the Internet I found some people having troubles because of the structure of their AdvancedDataGrid. My problem doesn't come from any example I've seen but maybe it's still linked to that, so here's an AdvancedDataGrid that's being printed in my app:
                                                <mx:PrintAdvancedDataGrid dataProvider="{dataRayon}" sortExpertMode="true" id="dataGridRayon" width="100%" itemClick="dispatchEvent(new KpiEvent(DATAGRID_RAYON_CLICK,event));" itemDoubleClick="dispatchEvent(new KpiEvent(DATAGRID_RAYON_CLICK,event));" creationComplete="resizeGridRayon();" >

                                        </mx:PrintAdvancedDataGrid>
I also realised I wasn't very clear on the outcome of my doPrint() function. When I said the grid was cut in half, I was talking about half the columns not showing on the printed version, not half the rows. Actually even a column being cut in half. I hope these precisions made my problem a bit clearer and somebody will be able to help me in any way (even just hints).
Thanks for your help.

Problem with printing generated pdf.

Hello!
I need to print pdf file, that was generated by my application. I am using Apache FOP to generate pdf (xml+xslt). For printing I am using Maxatec MT-150 receipt printer. Seems, that pdf is generated successfully, because I can open it and I also can print it using Windows interface. However, when I am sending it to printer in my JAVA application, printed file is just set of unreadable characters and black lines. I was trying to use different DocFlavors, like DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, DocFlavor.URL.AUTOSENSE, but neither had a luck. My code looks like this:
PrintService receiptPrintService = getReceiptPrinterService(printerName);
DocPrintJob printJob = receiptPrintService.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("StatusReport.pdf"));
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE, null);
printJob.print(doc, null);
private static PrintService getReceiptPrinterService(String printerName) {
          PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
          for (PrintService printService : services) {
               if (printerName.equals(printService.getName())) {
                    return printService;
          return null;
     }For some reason I cannot set DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.PDF, as it throws following exception: sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor. (despite the fact that I can pdf using the same printer, but through Windows interface)
So, I really don't see what is the problem. Should I use something in my xslt template to specify content type? currently I have:
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"/>Any help would be appreciated.
Alexander.

@Dick_Adams
I am sorry, but what error message are you talking about? The only error I get is "sun.print.PrintJobFlavorException: invalid flavor" and as far as I understand it depends on printer, what is supported and what is not supported. Or am I wrong? I am using standard java.awt.print library.
@AndrewThompson64, thanks for the tip!)) It does print correctly, but in this case I am not sure I have enough possibilities to control printing. For instance, my pdf was printed as landscape, but I need portrait.

Problem with printing indesign PDF

Can someone help me ?
Thank you

Thanks everyone! That really helped.
There were a few other things that I had to make sure of also.

Can't "print to PDF" from Word with Acrobat XI

I recently upgraded from Acrobat X to Acrobat XI and now I don't seem to be able to "Print to PDF" from within a Word document. It tries to generate the PDF then produces an error log which says:
"Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions"
Is there a fix for this?

Just to be sure about the functionality of everything else. Try changing the job options in the printer (and/or) PDF Maker to the print or press options and see if the printing and PDF Maker operate correctly. If that is the case, you indeed know the problem is bad files. I am not sure if the ones that fail can be extracted seperatedly from the Acrobat distribution or not. I might check my Win7 installation of AAXI and see if I have any issues with the job options. I generally do not use the Std options, but one provided by IEEE for publications. I have found that works about as well as any and the results generally look nice. It generally embeds all fonts that is another option I want. The font issue is not optimum from my viewpoint with the Standard settings that does not embed all fonts.
You might try to see if you can open them in Distiller. If so you might want to save copies from within Distiller (just save with a new name). Then check your last step and see if they open when resaved or when used as the settings for the print.
I am just trying to dream up things you can try. The Distiller route might be a good test. If the copies work fine, but the originals do not, you could just rename the originals with ...orig or such and then change the name of the copies back to the original name. If you wanted to go one step further (I recommend it), change all of these new versions to be read only as the original should be.
I forgot to mention that to edit them in Distiller, go to the settings tab and select the job settings, then enter edit. The original files can not be saved without changing the name since they are read only. If you need more help on this, ask and I will go to my machine with AAXI.

Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
Does anyone know what can be the problem?

No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there. I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name. Now they appeared in Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location. I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere. I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer. I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer. So be it!
Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

Problem with printing from Powerpoint 2007

Am printing to pdf from Powerpoint 2007 (using Acrobat 8.1.4), using the Print>Select Printer>Adobe PDF route, but the pdfs that are being created look terrible (distorted, washed out colours, etc) and print even worse. Is there an incompatibility problem, or has a setting gone awry? Thanks in advance.

It may vary. I have seen some strange results from OFFICE 2007, where there apparently are some hooks built into the MS software. You might try with OFFICE 2003 or OpenOffice. I have used OFFICE 2003 for some things and gotten excellent results, where OFFICE 2007 created issues. I know that it is OFFICE 2007 since I also played with different versions of Acrobat for Office 2007 and got the same strange results, where things were fine with OFFICE 2003. There may be an issue with the
I just created a new PDF from PPT 2007 and the results were looking fine. For folks to be able to comment more effectively, they need to be able to duplicate what you did and I am not sure that can be done with the information you have provided. Specifically, what job settings file did you use in the Adobe PDF printer, etc.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.
