Reader 10.0 Printing Problem - Font changing while printing

Dear all,
can anybody help me on my printing problem with Adobe Reader 10.0 ?
While printing a pdf I cannot do anything else, it is not possible to touch the mouse
because when I do this, the font is changing while printing to something like grecian.
Can somebody help me on this ?
Reader 9 did not cause this problem.
Thanx and best Regards, Travelplan24

I have the same problem, but I didn't realize it could be set off by my working on another task. It is also triggered when the pdf has scientific notation, or a very extreme change in font and font size. E.g., text in boxes, algorithms, etc. seem to trigger the problem.
I have reinstalled my print driver (several times, latest on Sunday), and reinstalled Adobe Reader (now 10.0.1) but the problem remains.
Printer:
HP Officejet 6500 (E709n Series) wireless, now on USB.
Document properties: Most recent font conversion - yesterday:
Producer: Distiller 4.0.2 for Mac
PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)
Fonts: Helvetica-Neue, Type 1, Encoding: ANSI and Roman
The font is not converting into Greek. E.g. "Problem-Solving Process" became "Qspcrfm . Tpnwjoh!Qspdftt"' with the kerning overlapping characters.
The font 'conversion' has happened many, many times on a wide variety of pdf files in the past 6 months. Never had the problem before. I had downloaded new Reader, and purchased the new printer -- I do not know which change created the problem.
I will cease doing anything when I print as a temporary workaround, but that is not a good solution.
I sure hope you can figure out what the bug is. Thanks in advance.

How can I stop Firefox 4 from displaying "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" from appearing every time I click on File/Page Preview?

Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.

Does it behave that way in [[Safe Mode]] ?
If it doesn't, then one of your add-ons in the culprit.

IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08. I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem. When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks!

Problem with computing Font width while printing in Landscape mode

I have an application which prints a table and fills it with some text. I render it on a JComponent using the drawString(theStr, xPos, yPos) and the drawLine(rigtX, topY, rigtX, botY) methods in Graphics2D object. I want to take print-out of the table and also store the image of the table in, say, jpeg format. The print can be in Landscape or Portrait format depending on the size of the JComponent, which the user sets depending on the table size and the font size.
I have a paintTable( ) method which contains all the drawString( ) and drawLine( ) methods. This method is called from the paint( ) method of the JComponent to achieve normal rendering. The same method is called to get a BufferedImage of the Table. The same method is further called from the implementation of print( ) method from the Printable interface.
In the paintTable( ) method, I compute the pixel coordinates of the table grid lines and the texts positions in the tables depending on the font width and height obtained as shown below:
        // Set the Font
        Font theFont = graphics.getFont();
        theFont = theFont.deriveFont((float)TableFontSize); // TableFontSize is an int of value 8,9,10 etc.
        graphics.setFont(theFont);
        // Get the Font Size
        FontRenderContext frc = graphics.getFontRenderContext();
        float width = ((Rectangle2D.Float)theFont.getMaxCharBounds(frc)).width;
        float height = ((Rectangle2D.Float)theFont.getMaxCharBounds(frc)).height;
       System.out.println("FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [" + width + "," + height + "] ");I am getting the following value of width and height when the above print statement is executed with a value of 9 for TableFontSize. FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [18.0,11.3203125]
The problem I face is :
While Printing in Landscape mode the value of the 'width' variable printed as given above is becoming negative. Kindly see the values: FONT WIDTH HEIGHT [-9.37793,11.3203125]. This is happening ONLY DURING PRINTING IN LANDSCAPE MODE. This makes my calculation of table grid line coordinates and text positions completely wrong and the table goes out of place.
Kindly note that, there is no problem during normal rendering and BuffereredImage creation and also while printing in Portrait mode. The problem happens irrespective of Linux or Windows. The value of 'height' is always correct.
Kindly let me know: If the method I use to get the 'width' and 'height' is correct ? Is there any better way which will work fine in all platforms under all circumstances.
Kindly help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards

CS4 printing problem after changing printers

Windows7
Photoshop CS4
printer was HP Officejet Pro 8500
have many files created with this printer installed. They printed successfully, except for "usual sporadic" error of "needing to install a printer before able to print". Would shutdown Photoshop, bring it up and print.
Installed new printer HP Officejet Pro 8600.
Files created when 8500 in use will not print on 8600. Get same "usual sporadic" error, except shutdown doesn't resolve problem.
New files created after 8600 installed print fine.
Any ideas how to solve this now BIG problem?

On a hunch, try going through the printer selection process then press Done. Do this twice, but don't print. Then try to print.
If that doesn't work, after selecting the printer twice, save the PSD and shut down Photoshop, then restart it and load the file.
There was a glitch back then where printer settings were getting "staged" in some intermediate place, so that one literally had to make changes twice to get them to "stick".
If the above doesn't work, once you've selected the printer, try going through the [Page Setup] twice. I know there was a combination that would "flush" the changes through.

Font changes when printing from CVI OI

TestStand 3.1f1
CVI 7.0
We generate text reports and like to have them displayed and printed
using a fixed width font (the default in TestStand). From the
sequence editor, selecting the print button from the report tab of a
completed execution yields a correctly printed page. However, the
print button on the ReportView in the CVI Full-Featured Operator
Interface prints with a variable width font. The reports appear
on screen correctly in both the sequence editor and the OI.
Thanks,
Peter

Hi
There is one workaround.
You can change the report Font for text reports from your current font to Courier New.
That should print correctly.
Hope this helps.

Printing problems with a shared printer on home network

Hi
I just upgraded all my Macs to Tiger. We have been running Panther very smoothly since it came out. We have a small home network running on a standard hub. The USB printer is attached to one of my G4s, and the rest of the network uses this as a printer connection.
I've been successfully printing to our HP 920C printer from all my programs for years now. Now that I've gone to Tiger, my printer Utility sees and registers the printer, but when I try to print to it from any of the Apple text programs, there is no response. I print from Illustrator with no trouble at all. TextEdit for example, sees the printer, but when I click the "PRINT" button from the print dialogue nothing happens. I am wondering why this is.
To note: I have added a line of code to the Terminal, which unblocks the system for Adobe Distiller to create PDFs (sudo killall -HUP cupsd). This was reccomended by Adobe with Panther in order to bypass a PDF function whithin Panther. I wonder if it was a mistake to add it to Tiger, and that it is this that is blocking TextEdit. If this is the case how do I remove the command, and reset the system to its default PDF setting.

It was a simple problem after all. Sadly my hard disc was about to snuff it. I changed disk, reinsalled Tiger and all is as smooth as ever.

Printing Problem to Adobe PDF printer

When I print to my Adobe PDF printer I comes out unreadable, but if I copy the unreadable text and paste into word I can read it.
Unreadable text in Acrobat is in Courier, and readable in Acrobat is in Vernada (that's what is shows in word). Does anyone have any ideas?
Version Acrobat Pro 9.4.5

I talked with Adobe and they showed me an option for fonts (listed below). Uncheck the hightlighted option.
And now it prints correctly.

Print problems only pictures are print not text

Macbook air with caonon mx870.
fonts (text) are not printing anymore only pictures ?

Hello there, marcvdw.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting printer issues:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Printing Problems with Epson R200 Printer

When I try to print from Aperture my prints come out "flat" and the colors are off. When I export the the same file to PS Elements 4.0 my prints come out great. I would prefer to not have to do this. Here is some background information on what I have tried to do so far to correct this problem:
1. I have searched this forum backwards and forwards to try and find an answer - no luck!
2. Purchased a Spyder2 monitor calibrator
3. Wasted a lot of paper trying various settings.
4. Yes - I have read the two articles on the Aperture site regarding printing and calibration. I have followed both of these articles and still get poor prints when printing from Aperture.
5. I have met with the genius at my local Apple Store to work through the problem. He informed me that he only prints from Photoshop and did not really know how to solve my problem.
6. Purchased the Aperture 1.5 book from Apple to see if I could find out anything else that I had not already tried.
Help please, what am I missing? It seems to me that all of the books written on Aperture stress printing books and not photo prints as their main area on printing. Can I get the same results printing from Aperture as I can printing from Photoshop Elements?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'll attempt to answer my own question. After much trial and error along with a lot of wasted paper and ink I have found the source of the problem. Aperture works exactly like it should if you follow Apple's recomendations for printing. My problem was that the profiles supplied for my printer by Epson are horrible! I purchased a Spyder 2 Suite screen calibrator to try and fix this problem and did not have any luck until I ran the included Print FX software and created a new profile for my printer (Epson R200). The prints are now coming out great and virutally indistinguishable from those printed via Photoshop Elements. The clue to fixing this is that when I turned on "on-screen" proofing and selected my old printer profile the output did match the screen. Unfortuntely the screen images were not using the full gamut of color (hence the flat pictures) because it was gettting it's information from the Epson ICC Profile. In summary, if you are suffering from this problem find a way to create your own profile for your printer. There are expensive methods which involve purchasing a spectrophotometer. I took the middle of the road route and created a profile using a software only profiler (Print FX). I'm sure that depending on your printer you could download a better profile on the web. Either way you get it done you'll be happier. NOTE: I guess some printers come with better profiles than others which would explain why some people don't have any problems.

Orientation changes while Printing book/ cards

When I make a card and write titles and other details on the front..and thereafter put it up for printing, I find that the titles and comments change their orientation (landscape/ portrait) while the photographs retain their orientation.
This completely makes the page unprintable.. Can someone help

SandeepBangia:
Try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that's located in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Also empty the iPhoto folder that's in the User/Library/Caches folder. Launch iPhoto and try again.
Are you printing the card yourself? If so and you have a 3rd party editor that can do layers you can try following Tutorial #8 to print the card. That will give you a perfect 7x5 card with no border issues.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Adobe CS2 / 10.4 Printing problem - Fonts

I have a studio with 30+ Macs (one of many ) using CS2 printing to Xerox RIP's or PS files Distilled.
The issue being parts of words not appearing on the prints.
We have said it's the fonts, we've said it's this and or that but the only thing I can put it down to is the underlying print system CUPS and caches and stuff I didn't need to worry about in system 9 !
My users output several thousand pages per week both to the printers and pdf.
So it's back to the OS or Adobe...
Yes I now clean the caches...
Is there ANYONE out there who looks after design/advertising studios with printout issues ?
Mitch
We didn't have a problem when I started them on 10.4.5, but we're now up to 10.4.8 ... Has something changed in CUPS filters from 10.4.5 to now ?

Hi Mitch,
We've had similar issues from InDesign to our Canon's using EFI (Fiery) print controllers. The issue was with the RIP and ps driver. We thought it was ID as it seemed to be the only app having the issue of some text dropping out when there was any background. Canon support felt it was Adobe and they in turn suggested the RIP. In the end a new version of firmware was loaded into the RIP and the problem stopped.
Anyway, I think that Xerox uses Fiery's also so check with X to see if they have a latter system for the RIP.

Printing Problem with changed page

I have a 2 page PDF document that is created by another program. When I make a change on the second page and save using Acrobat 9 Pro, I am unable to print the page that the changes are on. The messages I get are " Document could not be ptinted" and then "No pages selected to print", even through I have selected the pages to print.

The program creating the file is ReScan. I can print the file before I open with Acrobat. If I make any changes to the file, I am unable to print from Acrobat those pages which had changes made, even thou they show on the monitor fine. If I print to CutePDF Writer instead of directly to one of my three printers (I get the same result with all three different printers) then I can print the CutePDF Writer file.
The fonts I am editing are installed on my system. Not sure what I am doing wrong to cause the program not to print. Don't want to have to use CutePDF every time I need to print. The program should be able to print an edited and saved document.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
