Reader 9.2 does not choose the right postscript level

Hi,
I use an old HP4500 Color Laser Jet (it still prints very well and I have a lot of toner :-)). every time I want to print a pdf on it, it does not work, for the adobe reader sets the postscript level to 3 although the printer has only 2.
I've found the information anywhere in the adobe pages, which say:
"Note: Acrobat sets the PostScript level automatically, based on the selected printer."
In my printer settings (Win7-64 bit, driver: HP Universal Printing PS Version 12.4.2009, 61.94.3.37) I have set the level to 2 (Dokumentoptions:Postscript Options:Postscript language level: 2)
But Adobe Reader is not interested in my settings and sets it to 3 every time and I have to change it manually every time. That is not funny, when printing many pdfs.... :-(((
I don't understand this, it has happend with another driver under windows xp the same way, but now I have lost my patience.
Why does the reader does not work properly or can I tell him to do so ?
Best regards
Thomas keller, Germany

Thanks Bernd!  Works just fine now. Am I that obtuse that I wasn't able to
figure this out on my own?

    After all as you can see the only change is adding more predicate to the statment , e.g:
    WHERE (CRM.CM_CASE_DIM.FIRST_PROVIDER_GRP_ID IN
    ('2565', '2611', '1190', '2610', '2612')
    AND (CRM.CM_CASE_DIM.ROW_ADDED_DTTM >= (SYSDATE - 60)))

    Hello Bob,
    Thanks for your replay.
    I just recreacted the MV and this time i REMOVED the DISTINCT and ADD two columns :
    CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW CRM.MV2_TUDWH_CRM_1201
    TABLESPACE DW_LARGE
    NOCACHE
    NOLOGGING
    COMPRESS
    NOPARALLEL

      FROM (   CRM.CI_CUST_INFO
            LEFT OUTER JOIN
               CRM.CM_CASE_DIM
            ON (CRM.CI_CUST_INFO.BO_ID = CRM.CM_CASE_DIM.BO_ID_CUST));I rerun the first sql statment that in my first post.
    What happen now is as followed :
    - Optimizer choose to use MV , ONLY if i remove the DISTICT from the select statment.
    - If add the DISTINCT to the select statment , oracle choose a diffrent plan.
    Why ?

  • JSP does not call the right method in controller class

    Hi all,
    I have a jsp file which loads a page at this address: http://localhost:8080/dir/list/
    I've added two checkboxes to the page; user can check both checkboxes, only one or none. Following is code I have in jsp file:
    <form class="checkboxForm">
    <c:choose>                                                                                                         
    <c:when test='${newItems==true}'>
    <input id="newItems" type="checkbox" value="#" name="newItems" class="checkbox2" checked="checked" /><strong> New Businesses   </strong>                                                                 
    </c:when>
    <c:otherwise>
    <input id="newItems" type="checkbox" value="#" name="newItems" class="checkbox2"/><strong> New Businesses   </strong>
    </c:otherwise>
    </c:choose>
    <c:choose>                                                                                                         
    <c:when test='${rejectedItems==true}'>
    <input id="rejectedItems" type="checkbox" value="#" name="rejectedItems" class="checkbox3" checked="checked"/><strong> Rejected Businesses   </strong>                                                                 
    </c:when>
    <c:otherwise>
    <input id="rejectedItems" type="checkbox" value="#" name="rejectedItems" class="checkbox3"/><strong> Rejected Businesses   </strong>
    </c:otherwise>
    </c:choose>
    <a href="#" onclick="apply();">
    <button name="apply" class="btn-primary" value="Apply" tabindex="4">Apply</button>
    </a>
    </form>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function apply(){
         var newItems = document.getElementById("newItems").checked;
         var rejectedItems = document.getElementById("rejectedItems").checked;
         alert("Inside apply() method.");
         alert("newItems= " + newItems + ", rejectedItems: " + rejectedItems);     
         window.location = "<c:url value='/list/'/>" + newItems + "/" + rejectedItems;
         alert("window.location= " + window.location);
         alert("Add extra delay!");
         return false;
    </script>This is my Controller class:
    // Method1: this method gets called when the user loads the page for the first time.
    @RequestMapping(value="/list", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String list(Model model, HttpServletRequest request) {          
              System.out.println("Controller: method1: Passing through...");
              model.addAttribute("newItems", Boolean.TRUE);
              model.addAttribute("rejectedItems", Boolean.TRUE);
              // Does other things.
    // Method3: this method gets called when user checks/unchecks one of the checkboxes and clicks on Apply button.
    @RequestMapping(value="/list/{newItems}/{rejectedItems}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String list(@PathVariable Boolean newItems, @PathVariable Boolean rejectedItems, Model model, HttpServletRequest request) {          
              System.out.println("Controller: method3: Passing through...");
              model.addAttribute("newItems", newItems);
              model.addAttribute("rejectedItems", rejectedItems);
    // Does other things.
         }The way my jsp code is written now, it calls the correct method and displays the correct url. When page loads for the first time, it calls method1 and the url is:
    http://localhost:8080/dir/list
    When the user checks/unchecks one or both checkboxes and clicks on apply button, method3 is called and this url is displayed:
    If both checkboxes are checked which both booleans are set to true:
    http://localhost:8080/dir/list/true/true
    Everything is fine... however, if I comment these two lines at the end of JavaScript apply() function,
    alert("window.location= " + window.location);
    alert("Add extra delay!");Then method3 will never gets called; only method1 gets called and I see this url:
    http://localhost:8080/url/list//?newItems=%23&rejectedItems=%23&apply=Apply
    I do not know why it gets confused bet. method1 and method3 and cannot pick the right method?
    I tried to use the POST method instead, but the page goes directly to our internal error page and it never reaches the method I wrote in my controller for POST:
    I don't really know what I'm doing wrong? Any help is greatly appraciated.
    Edited by: ronitt on Dec 13, 2011 2:35 PM

    I changed the <form> in the jsp to div and its working fine. I do not need to have comments in JavaScript funcion() anymore. I don't know why that made the difference though? According to:
    http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_form.asp
    The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form for user input.
    The <form> element can contain one or more of the following form elements:
    <input>
    <textarea>
    <button>
    <select>
    <option>
    <optgroup>
    <fieldset>
    <label>
    An HTML form is used to pass data to a server.
    I do have <button> and also send the data - the value of checkboxes - to server. So I think it should also work with <form>.
    Please let me know if you have any idea. Thanks.

  • Weblogic 10.3.2.0 installation does not pick the right JDK

    The installation does not pick up the right jdk version that is jdk 11.6.0_11 . Although the machine is running the same. Instead it picks up jdk 1.6.0_14. have tested the machine many times. I am Installing Oracle SOA Suite 11g.

    Inside "startWebLogic.sh" file add the JAVA_HOME like following (just below the "setDomainEnv.sh" call):
    JAVA_HOME=C:\bea103\jdk1.6.0_17
    See if this helps.

    I have tried different versions of Adobe 9.x (patched) on a Windows 7 32bit system I still have the same issue.  When ever I do a save as copy to a network drive (doesn't happen on the local C: drive) and right click to get the drop down menu to create a new folder Reader just hangs and shows not responding.  I have waited up to 20 minutes and I have to force Reader to close.Ii have even tried to close it and look for a solution through Windows 7 with no luck.  I can save to any network drive I just can't right click to open up the drop down menu.
    Has anyone esle expereniced an issue like this.
    Thanks.

    Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
    I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
    need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
    e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
    is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
    technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
    anything such as "If you download this and you  have already downloaded
    that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
    major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
    service???
    I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
    MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
    draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
    at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
    software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
    I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
    going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
    unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
    lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
    dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
    actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
    Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
    result.
    Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
    late for work and lose that job, too.....

  • Selected value in LOV does not update the right item in multirecord block

    Hello,
    I am working on a form which is a multi-record form => 3 records. Each record has several items. The last item in these records is a LOV button which is part of the lov_item.
    Let me draw this situation:
    record 1 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
    record 2 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
    record 3 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
    This is the problem: my cursor is located on the third record. Right now, I am pressing the lov button on the first record. After selecting a value in the lov, Forms returns this value in the lov_item on the third record. This is not what I want. I would like to see the returned value in the lov_item on the first record.
    How can I establish this?
    We are using Oracle Designer 2.1 with Oracle Forms 5.0.6.16.0
    Best regards,
    Ronny

    Kevin,
    I tried your solution but this seems not workable. The cursor is still located in the record where it was.
    I also tried to use a message in the W-B-P trigger:
    message('record '||:system.mouse_record); to return the record number. It is always returning 0 as value. No mather what I try.

  • Content generation error - version string does not have the right format

    This is when trying to import an HTML article into an existing .folio. It's as basic an HTML page as I can make and it still be worthwhile (just divs & css). There's no spaces etc in any of my file names.
    This is the first time I've tried to import an HTML article.
    DPS details: version 12.2.4.20120611_m_691037
    8.0.7.21
    Windows 7
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Simon.

    I have now encountered the same issue and fail to resolve it.
    After having tried every possible combination of folder structures (assets in local subdirectory, same root and moving everything into HTMLResources), trying various flavours of html (5, 4s, 4t) and turning my nose 90 degrees east while pressing "import"... the error persists.
    I am pretty sure that this has absolutely nothing to do with the content or structure of my HTML article. Heck, even a completely vanilla HTML file (valid of course) with a single line of text in the body and no styles, assets whatsoever: fails.
    It does work when importing it to a completely new folio though.
    Can someone please confirm that she/he is still able to import HTML articles to preexisting folio, after the latest folio builder panel update?

  • SetCurrentRow does not set the right class on the new row selected

    This has to do with using setCurrentRow and having
    spry:select used on the active row to enable selection
    highlighting.
    When setting the current row programmatically by invoking
    setCurrentRow, the row get seccessfully set, but the class is not
    set to reflect that current row
    Any idea why the class of the selected row is not changing
    when I am calling setCurrentRow (works great when there is a mouse
    click)?

    Hi,
    The spry:select is a shortcut attribute that only works
    onclick.

  • The small symbols for bookmarks in the list does not show the right web page symbol? How can I get this right?

    I have a lot of short cuts to web pages in the list just under the web address. The symbol showing should be that of the web page but for some of the links the symbol shows the wrong symbol. For example it could be that CNN has the symbol of BBC (I don't have this exact problem but just as an example).

  • Read It Later plugin does not save the tags for web sites all the time

    Read It Later does not preserve the tags assigned to websites in some cases. Sometimes I go through the list, assign tags, close the browser hoping it would write all the changes to the internal database (readItLater.sqlite) and after reopening the browser, some sites have the tags and some don't.

    @Swarnava. Thank you, but for now I would disregard your response, since I'm not planning to upgrade and I've seen posts where people have the same issues with the latest version of 8.0.1

  • Choosing the Right Power Supply

    First things first. If you've got a poor-quality and/or faulty power supply, nothing else you do will work to solve your problems. Stick to the basics before you go further...The short answer is to buy a hi-powered, brand name supply, like the new ENERMAX line (430 W or higher) or ANTEC True550. Almost nothing else will do with today's computers. In over 30 years of electronic/computer service, I have found that 85% or more of problems were power-related.
    If you want to know more, read on...
    Choosing The Right Power Supply
    If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that one of my colleagues or I believe that you could be experiencing problems with your power supply, based upon the symptoms you mentioned in your post, and provided you with this link. Relax, you’re not alone. In 30 years of electronic and computer troubleshooting, I’d say that the majority of the electronic, mainframe, mini, and microcomputer problems I’ve diagnosed and repaired were with the basic power the problematic device was receiving. The symptoms often included random reboots, crashing, the BSOD, lockups, etc.
    (As the national support technician for few major computer service companies, working US Defense contracts, I was often the person that had to fly in and correct the problem, or “walk through” the on-site technician as he closely followed my instructions. I achieved success in my career by carefully reading the manuals, knowing where to go for more information that was otherwise unavailable to me, and/or systematically troubleshooting until the problems were discovered and repaired. I never had the option of giving up.)
    The most overlooked component when building or upgrading a PC is the power supply unit (PSU). Some people use their old case and PSU when they upgrade. Some use the PSU that came with their new case. Some people even buy a new PSU. And most inexperienced builders all make the same mistake: The PSU that they’re trying to use is simply inadequate for the job.
    Suppose you’re upgrading to a new motherboard, CPU, ram, and video card, but still using the old case and PSU. It’s most likely that you’re upgrading in order to build a machine that is more powerful, faster, has a more colorful display, can number-crunch more quickly, play the latest games, etc. These gains in performance all have one thing in common: They require more raw power. However, have you thought about where that power comes from?
    Suppose you’re building a new system with a new case and PSU. Has it occurred to you that the company that you bought the case/PSU from might make more money if they skimp on the supply, even if the supply has a large wattage rating? Most bulk power supply manufacturers don’t make good PSU’s. They use older, cheaper technology, and slap on labels that represent the PSU’s peak outputs, and not their continuous output rating. These companies are intentionally misleading you in order to sell you an inferior product. Brands I avoid when building/repairing my friends’ and family’s computers: Allied, Q-Tec, Chieftech, and many others.
    For those of you who bought a power supply separately, did you know that you’re only supposed to run a power supply continuously at 30-70% (with 50% being optimal) of its continuous rating for maximum efficiency (which means less heat to you)? Most inexperienced builders either buy PSU’s that are matched to their equipment’s continuous power usage, or ones that are even less powerful than they need. Why? Because they’re trying to save money.
    I mean, what’s the fun in a power supply? You don’t get any games with it, there’s no more storage, hardly ever any more bells and whistles, etc. A power supply is boring, and it’s supposed to be, because it’s supposed to provide a stable, reliable platform upon which the rest of the equipment can easily access the amount of power it needs, and when it’s needed. In almost EVERY review of powers supplies, the same point is stressed: Better safe than sorry.
    But what does safe vs sorry mean? It can mean that you don’t have to waste money on the wrong PSU in the first place, but it can also mean that you don’t have to replace your expensive ram, CPU, video card, etc. NEEDLESSLY, or because your cheap PSU destroyed them. What? A cheap power supply can wreck your computer? YES IT CAN. A cheap power supply can cause thermal damage, not only from the heat it produces, but also the heat it can create in your components as well. RAM is especially sensitive to heat, and there’s RAM in your CPU, your video cards, and, well, your RAM too. A cheap switching power supply, run at its maximum, or peak, continuously can also destroy components by creating RF (Radio Frequency) signals on your power rails, signals which the components on your peripheral devices were not equipped to handle in the first place.
    So this begs the question, how does one choose the right power supply? I’ll illustrate this using my own PC as the example. This is my setup that I use for video processing:
    K7N2G-ILSR
    Athlon 2500+ Barton @ 2125Mhz
    AMD Retail Heatsink/Fan
    2 - 512MB DDR333 w/Thermaltake Spreaders (slot 1&3)
    MSI TV@nywhere Video Capture
    ATI Radeon 9600
    120GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA
    30GB Quantum IDE
    TEAC DV-W50E DVD/CD-R/W
    BTC DVD-ROM Drive
    Artec CD-R/W
    Using this Power Supply Calculator link:
    http://www.jscustompcs.com/power_supply/
    I plug in all my equipment values, but some of this can be a little tricky. For example, since I often run the CPU like an XP 3000, I choose the 3000 as my processor; it’s the same chip run at the faster rate. I also choose the ATI Radeon video card, and I select the RAM wattage for 2 sticks of DDR. I also choose every card I have, like my video capture card, but I also select the boxes for the separate cards that correspond to the functions that my ILSR provides as well (and that I use), like sound, USB, Firewire, NIC, etc.  Although I use the onboard SATA controller, I don’t select the SCSI PCI card, because, in truth, I’ve probably made up for it by selecting all the other corresponding devices, including cards that the motherboard replaces. I check the boxes for the fans and drives I use, and I’m done, right?
    Not yet.
    I just remembered that I plan to upgrade soon, so I go back and change the values to reflect my impending changes. I mean, I want to make sure that I have enough power to begin with so that I don’t have to replace the power supply again, right?
    Ok. Done. I look at the bottom and see that it tells me that I need a 468 watt PSU. So a 480 watt supply will do, right? Wrong.
    Remember that, for efficiency, long-life, and less heat, you want your actual power consumption to fall between 30-70% of the PSU’s rating, so add 30% (minimum) to the 468, and you get 468 + (468*.30)= 608 Watts! Holy Cow!
    However, I’d only need a 608-Watt supply if I was using all the devices at once, and I don’t. But, in truth, with video and audio processing, I often get close when I process, burn, and monitor at the same time. (Hardcore gamers also get close a lot, as they blast the sound and push that video to its limits.) So, let’s take off 10% (maximum) of 608, for a total of 541 Watts.
    I need a 550 Watt supply, but not just ANY 550 watt PSU. I need a supply that can give me enough power on the critical 3.3, 5, and 12V rails combined. I also want a supply from a trusted, name-brand manufacturer, so I start hitting the many online reviews. Here are just two from Tom’s Hardware:
    http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20030609/index.html
    http://www6.tomshardware.com/howto/20021021/index.html
    Read these in their entirety. I didn’t post them because they’re pretty links.
    In the end, I chose Antec, because they’ve got the reputation, the recommendation, and because the Antec True550 has better specs than the rest of the 550 Watt competition. I also bought it from a reputable company I found on Pricegrabber.com, for the lowest price I could find, $95.00 shipped to my door. (In truth, I wanted two mini-redundant supplies, like the hospitals and military use, but they were too expensive.)
    The result? Not only are the random reboots, crashing, the BSOD, lockups, etc., gone like magic, but I also now have “peace of mind” in that whatever might happen to my equipment in the future, I know almost for certain that the PSU is NOT the problem. I also bought an UPS, because the East Coast Blackout proved to me that even the Antec True550 isn’t going to provide me any power for emergency shutdown if it doesn’t get its power from somewhere.
    Even if your problem doesn’t lie in the PSU completely, it gives you a GREAT platform for troubleshooting further. If you’re not reasonably certain that the supply is the cause, borrow one, or buy one that you can return once you’ve solved the problem. But, above all else, BUY THE RIGHT SUPPLY before you do anything else! Otherwise, you could be plugging and unplugging components, buying and blowing up expensive memory, and causing even further damage, until you give up or die.
    I mean, I assume you built your own system to enjoy “more bang for your buck,” right? What’s the fun of a random reboot in the middle of Unreal Tournament 2003?

    P.S. It should be noted that while Enermax, ThermalTake, Zalman, Fortron, and others make great PSU’s, and I compared and considered them, the Antec still won out overall in my critical evaluation, like it did in so may others’ reviews. You’d probably be ok if you went with another reputable manufacturer as listed above, but pick a supply that gives you at least 230 watts on the 3.3 and 5V lines combined, and still meets the 30% criteria as stated above. Remember, if the manufacturers don’t give you maximum combined specs up front, they’re untrustworthy right off the bat. With power supplies, you definitely end up getting what you pay for. Don’t say nobody warned you.
    P.P.S. Update! After recent developments, it looks like Enermax is the leader, but only the latest line of PSU's.

    Ok, as an electrical engineer...I have to step in here! LOL
    First, these amp rating are for 2 +12 rails. That is why you see a protection of around 15-18A on the +12 rail. That means each Rail is allowed up to 18A lets say for the new Enermax 1.2 version like the one I have.
    Now, Lets say 18A for 12V....well as you know the Abit NF7-S uses the 12V for powering the CPU.
    Lets say you have a Barton like me and you want it stable at around 2.4-2.5Ghz. You will have to put lets say around 2V to the cpu to get it stable at that kinda speed, specially if you have high FSB like I do. So 12V * 18Amps = 216W ....well the converter on the NFS-7 is really bad, its loss on the step down convertion is probably around 25% along with the PSU lost cuz its not running at 25oC (another 15%)....you will actually only get around 100-120W for the CPU.
    Now, if you go into Sandra and see how much a Barton eats up at 2.4Ghz you will see its around 110Watts.
    So, if you wanna push more, dont even think about it! Prime Power test fails and your +12 rail will drop as low as 11.60 Volts.
    Now, lets say you got yourself a AMD 64 bit chip and you wanna overclock it....I bet it will need more than 110Watts.
    So, what im saying is, dont buy nothing less than a 500 Watt PSU!
    You really need around 20-22 A on the main +12 along with really really good cooling on the case and PSU so it is running at a 100%.

    i found this quite interesting especially the bit re the power loss turning the 12v into 1.6v or what ever cpu needs
