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 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

Printing to PDF from DWG

I try and print PDF's in AutoCad MEP 2009/2010 and I will loose information and or information does not show up on the finished PDF. What could be the problem? Help I have no faith that Adobe Acobat is doing its job. I am using Abobe Acrobat 8 Standard with all updates.

Yes, willing to help, printing to PDF form DWG would loose information such as layers and line type, and texts may not searchable, because regular PDF file does not store such information, and if you are using SHX fonts, then texts may not searchable in the PDF file.
AutoCAD 2009 has it’s build in PDF creation tool, please find it from the File -> publish menu, if you have many drawings need to be plotted, then DWG to PDF converter would accelerate this process, it makes things much easier for the printing settings.

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 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

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.

Printing a PDF file online with any OJ 100 printer,we receive unknown error light sequence.

When printing a PDF file online on all of our Officejet 100 Mobile L411 USB printers, we encounter an undocumented error light sequence. The error light sequence we encounter is Power light blinks in conjuction with the Bluetooth light then those 2 lights blink off and the Resume light and both cartridge lights blink on. then those three lights blink off and the power light and the Bluetooth light blink on again and so it goes. You cannot reset this error by any other means other than powering the printer down and the printer will not power down with the power button. The only way the printer will power down with the above flashing light sequence showing is to disconnect AC power and remove the battery.
With the above described flashing light sequence displayed, the printer has no problem continuing to print and will continue to print other documents with the flashing light seguence displayed.
If the above mentioned PDF file is saved off to the computer and then printed from there, it will print on this printer ok without starting the flashing light sequence described above so evidently there are control characters attached to the online PDF file that get stripped off when the document is saved. I don't know what those characters could be but I do know that only all of the Officejet 100 printers we have display this problem. We can print the same documents on our HP 470 mobile printers ok without any issues or have no problem printing the same document with other models of HP printers. It is only when printing this document with any HP Officejet 100 mobile L411 printer that we have this problem.
As mentioned above, the flashing light sequence described above is not a sequence described in the Operators Manual so we don't know what it means. Also it is apparent that the online document(s) we are printing have some control characters attached to them that are incompatible with this printer but we do not know what characters they are. Are there some settings that we can setup in the printers properties that would solve this issue for us?
As I have explained above, this particular flashing light seguence does not keep the printer from printing the online documents or any other documents succesfully, however this sequence cannot be reset by any other way other than killing all power to the printer.

Hi Bailie,
You might try looking for a paper jam or carriage jam.

Printing to PDF creates document with only part of the printout, improperly sized

I am printing from a windows application with my Adobe Acrobat Standard 10.1.9, and when it prints (to a standard Portrait size document), only about 25% of the document appears in the PDF, as if I had told it to zoom in on the document.
I want the PDF to comtain the complete document, fit to one portrait sized sheet of paper. I want this to be the default behavior.
Help!

Ok, I think I found what needs to be changed, but I cannot set it "permanently" - that's what I need to figure out now.
When it comes up with the print dialog, I choose Adobe Acrobat as my printer, and then in the print dialog, there is a properties button. That opens a window and one of the options is labeled "Adobe PDF Page Size" - this seems to default to be blank. If I set that to "Letter" everything works as I want.
So the question is, how do I make "Adobe PDF Page Size" default to "Letter" under the Adobe Acrobat properties?

Help with "Print to PDF" Script...

Hi All,
I'm a Web Designer and I would need help creating a Print to PDF Script...
Here's what I have:
// Illustrator Export Script
var difDocuments;
difDocuments = documents.length;
    for(i=0;i<difDocuments;i++) {
        var aDocument;
        aDocument = documents[i];
        var docName;
        docName = aDocument.name;
        var docPath;
        docPath = aDocument.path;
        var docPathStr = docPath.toString();
            if (docPathStr.length>1) {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = aDocument.path + "/" + aDocument.name;
            else {
                var documentPath;
                documentPath = "Z://Users//Fred//Chavi Files//Saved Exported PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name;
        var printOpts;
        printOpts = new PDFSaveOptions();
        printOpts.printPreset = "Print As PDF";
        var fileToSave;
        fileToSave = new File(docPath + "/" + "Saved Flat PDF" + "/" + aDocument.name);
        aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);
So what I'm attempting to do is to make a Print to PDF script rather then a Save As PDF, since print as PDF takes half the space...
The settings would either be from a Print Preset or just by regular options...(if someone could make a list of the attributes and the "formatting" it'd be extremely appreciated...
Thanks,
Fred.

I already tried that...my test file was around 60kb with the "Print as PDF" and 104kb using the "Save as PDF" and then Optimizing....
I'm mostly doing the exporting to PDF on the Windows machine and I tested my script in Windows as well...
Am I just formatting it wrong?
It tells me:
"Error 1242: Illegal argument - argument 1 - Object Expected
Line: 30
->
aDocument.print(fileToSave,printOpts);"
and just before that I had a couple of "Constructor" errors...in the "Adobe Illustrator Scripting Guide" it was saying that:
"The following objects must be created explicitly:
Illustrator save options
PDF save options
PPD file
PPD file info
printer
print flattener options
print job options
print options"
What exactly do they mean? I created the objects like so: "object = new object();"
It also mentionned a "var object = app.document[0].add();" Those are to create paths and shapes if I'm not mistaken (ActionScript background).
Hopefully I'll find a way around this...
P.S: how much slower would an Action be? And could an action be "transformed" into a Script?
Thanks a lot for your help

Printing to PDF - Format A1 with ArchiCAD

I cannot seem to print to PDF larger than A3. I have added a custom paper size (A1) and also tried installing the drivers for an HP Plotter.
But regardless each time I try to save my layout from ArchiCAD 10 I can only save as A3 pdf.
Any help would be great...

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.

Illustrator CS6 - Organisation problems with printing from PDF

Hi everybody
I working with the Illustroartor for some times now and I get better every time, but now its appears that’s I have a organization problem with my Illustrator CS6 and maybe somebody can help me here.
My problem: I create for example a logo and this logo I like to print on an Objekt like a Paperclip or a Lighter. I have now a print template as a PDF File (see attachement) with serveral predefined print areas. Around 100 predefined printing areas are on the PDF File and the only way to add my logo into this 100 predefined printing areas is by using the funktion “copy/past” but this takes long time and I have to adjust each single logo into the predefined printing area by hand … so this way don’t make really sense and is also very time consuming.
My question is: Is there any way to automate this process by using e.g. the artboard funktion or some other functions?
I would appreacte any help in this case!!!
Thank you very much in advance.
Nice regards
Klaus

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

Hello
I'm french so I hope you'll understand what I mean.
I'm working on a product catalog. When I export in PDF, everything is ok.
But when I want to print, I have some blank pages.
If you want I have an example file
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.
Solution:
Images placed in InDesign that were made in Photoshop or another program should be in ckmy format. The background needs to be in the same ckmy. Transparency blend must be set at CKMY, then Transparency Flattener presents must be set at Rasters/Vectors: 0 Line art and text resolution: 600, Gradient and mesh resoltuion 300. Exporting to PDF must be done under present PDF/X-4:2008 Compatibility: Acbrobat 7.
