Reader X printing horizontal lines

Hi
I am having a problem printing from Adobe Reader X. When I copy a PDF to my computer and choose to print it, the printed page comprises horizontal lines.
This occurs with text and graphics. It usually occurs at the start of the document. Also, when I try to print a PDF that has been combined using other PDF editing software, the start of each combined document contains the horizontal lines.
You can view an example here:

This is happening with old and new PDF's.
Anyone else seen this or have a solution, please?
Thanks.

Hi, Agarwal.
This issue cropped up with many PDF documents. The printer is an Oce CS193. The issue was reproducible using both PCL and PS drivers connecting via a print server and directly to the printer's IP address. I can't share the pdf's because they contain private information.
For your information the PDF's affected by the printing problem were created during the last year. We use CutePDF Writer to create a PDF then use CutePDF Professional to merge the PDF's into a single document and edit it.
The horizontal lines ocurred when printing from Adobe Reader or from CutePDF Professional. However, please note that CutePDF Professional uses the default PDF reader software to control the open document. Therefore, when Foxit Reader is the default reader, CutePDF Pro will use Foxit Reader.
Cheers!

  • LJ 1300 printing horizontal lines and "echoes" every 1.5 - 2 "

    Hi there,
    We have an LJ 1300 (it's older, but **bleep** solid..). 
    It's started printing horizontal lines, almost line a dirty roller, or cartridge. We also get "echoes". So if you print a windows test page, you get the well printed "Windows Test page" at the top, and then a few inches below, a pale/faded copy of the same text. 
    I tried a different cartridge (IT guy at work even let me keep it..HA).  The lines stopped for a few weeks and then started again. 
    I carefully undid all the screws on the outter casing (having unplugged it), so as to expose as much of the rollers as possible, and blew (while outside), compressed air on as many of the rollers and anything in the paper path as possible.
    I also tried the HP LJ toolbox utilities, trying to printer cleaning..I did it 3 times..each time the paper came out white (yes the notes say to do it with a transparency, ..I don't have one on hand). 
    Any idea what the issue is? Another dead printer cartridge???
    Am I better to scrap it and buy another workhorse (P2035?)?
    Thanks

    Hi -
    For the Lines, how far apart are they (in millimeters)?
    For the echoes, how far apart are they (in millimeters)?
    Also, are you using Genuine HP toner cartridges?
    And what type of paper are you using?
    Sorry for all the questions, I'll try to help if I can

  • Need to print horizontal line at the end of main window in each page.

    Hi,
    I am printing a smartform with main window having 10 lines in footer. The problem I am facing is when the content extends upto two or more pages, I am not getting the horizontal line at the base of main window. For last page it is fine as it contains footer.
    Please suggest how to proceed.
    Thanks,
    RKU

    Hi,
    If you don't have any frame set on your main window:
    Go to output options and mark frames, and then go to details and uncheck checkboxes for above, laft and right, leving only below marked.
    This will give you a line in the bottom of you main window.
    If you dont' want to do this on the main window, can you create a new window placed at the bottom of the page and use this framing technic on that window. But in that case don't forget to mark the "always draw box and shading" checkbox. as this window contains no values, the will not get printed unless  you mark this checkbox.

  • C4780 prints horizontal lines.

    Hi, my trusty HP  is misbehaving! 
    1) print quality has horizontal lines and chops lines of text 
    2) test page looks a little empty/light - please can someone confirm the last attachment below?
    Please see below 2 images of jolly penguins, troubled by horizontal lines.  There is another page of BW text which has problems with a horizontal line chop every few lines 
    First pic is Draft quality, second pic is Best and third pic is BW text.
    I have aligned the print cartridge, cleaned the print cartridge several times, cleaned the paper feed, cleaned back of page smear. Basically I have done everything available to me on the HP Toolkit. Also cleaned carefully the cartridge itself as per instructions on HP website.
    Printer is out of warranty.
    Apart from buying a new printer..anything else can be done?
    Thanks
    Phil
    Test page  looks a little empty/light - please can someone confirm ? the only thing which appears is:

    Hi Phil, really sorry for the delay getting back to you, I must have missed your reply in my email. 
    So if the cartridges are within warranty I'd suggest contacting phone support. Location of the warranty ends dates shown below....

  • Pdf printing hidden lines

    Hi there,
    Acrobat X Professional 10.1.3.
    I keep bumping into files that contain & print horizontal lines throughout the document. I'm at a loss. These documents were sent to me from a client and not created here.
    You can see these lines in the thumbnail view as well as the layer.
    I tried to hide it as a separate layer in preflight, re-pdf, blast to tiff, etc.; all to no avail. I have a few hundred files that are like this.
    Here is the file with layers.
    expired
    Here is the original file.
    expired
    Any suggestions on how to remove these lines and/or print without them would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your time!
    Ray

    Select the whole text.
    Copy the text in a text editor.
    Print the text.

    Hi Veeranagi,
    To print Dashed line, either you can use
    WRITE: '----
    If you dont want to use such statement, simply create a text element with
    TEXT-001   '----
    ' and then use
    WRITE: TEXT-001
    Reward if useful.

  • Display the horizontal lines whether or not a section is empty.

    I am using CR with vb.net 2010 and latest version of CR for net 2010.  I want to print a report like a grid which means horizontal and vertical lines appearing whether or not there is text in a section.
    I have a box surrounding the report and vertical lines extending down the report.  There are two group headers and a details section.    The horizontal lines only appear when there are values in the group or details sections.  Thus, once the detail lines end (and therefore there are no more groups either) on a page, the horizontal lines stop though the vertical ones continue.  I want the horizontal  lines in the sections to continue as well  -- just like in Excel.
    There is a page break for the top group so there are lots of pages that have detail lines empty.  How do I print horizontal lines in those sections as well when there are no values.

    hi Suzanne,
    there are several different ways of doing this.
    1) the easiest way of doing this is to create a new Page Header that contains all of the lines. this works if you've got a report that is static in way that each page is laid out. make the new page header the size of a page in length, move it up so that it is Page Header A, and go to the section expert and set it to Underlay Following Sections. now add the grid lines to this new page header A.
    2) another way of doing this is to create a whole bunch of Details sections....e.g B to Z. put lines in these sections. write a conditional suppression formula for each one based on how many records there are in a group. this is way more work.
    3) another fairly easy way is to create a formula that outputs the horizontal lines...i.e.
         numbervar N:= 10;
         // you'd need to figure out what N is based on the number of existing records and the number of lines you want
         replicatestring(replicatestring("_",300) + chr(10), N)
    make sure that you right click on the formula and go to Format Field > Common tab, and set it to Can Grow.

  • Not printing properly with horizontal lines

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A
    Not printing properly (Faded colors) with horizontal lines, printing excess pages with odd scripts.  I suspect printer heads.
    All color cartidges are full.  
    Printing can be direct from computer or by scanning from the printer.  Either way, it has the same issues.

  • HP LaserJet 3330 shows horizontal lines exactly every 1.5" when printing a completely white page

    HP LaserJet 3330 shows seven or eight  about 3.5" long cloudy horizontal lines spaced exactly every 1.5" even when printing a completely white page. This occurs also when copying and faxing. 
    There are also 2 very thin vertical lines running down the whole page approx. in the middle. They are exactly 1" apart.
    However, a scan of a white page viewed on my computer (not printed) is completely clean.
    Windows 7. No changes or upgrades.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Propbably the toner cartridge if they are 1.48" apart it could be the developing cylinder or the charging roller that are both in the toner cartridge. So a good guess if you replace the toner cartridge, the problem will go away. The vertical lines could also be part of this issue.

  • Unwanted Horizontal lines in PDF (print to file)

    From any other program, printing to Adobe PDF produces a pdf file that contains unwanted horizontal lines, oddly spaced, on entire page. Have tried multiple settings/configs and am unable to stop this annoying behavior. Any tips are appreciated.

    Me too! Just yesterday, Aug. 4!
    I get horizontal lines about 0.4 inches apart on the prints, but no lines on the PDF on the monitor. They just show up on the print.
    It happened the day I ran malware and virus scans in the morning.
    It only affects prints from PDFs created by SolidWorks.  WORD documents print fine.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled my HP printer software.
    I did the repair for Adobe reader 9.3.3
    I even changed my ink cartridges that were low.
    What else can I try?
    What caused this? Is it because our names are Paul?
    I tried to contact Adobe without spending $39, but was unsuccessful. I thought maybe they would like to know about problems. Is the forum the only way to do that?

  • My IP7250 is suddenly printing a bright horizontal line at the start of the page and a dark horizont

    My IP7250 is suddenly printing a bright horizontal line at the start of the page and a dark horizontal line at the end.
    Every time the lines are printing in the exact same place.
    it happens mostly when prining involves blue colors.
    the line are approx. 1 cm wide.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Getting waved-horizontal lines running through my photos...Happens not during time of working image in photoshop...but appears when sending to files or other applications, such as after printing back to files...?  Mac checked out OK.

    Getting waved-horizontal lines in my imagery just after working in photoshop...sending to files as with after completing some applications, such as printing. Nothing is wrong with my Mac...Issue does not occur every time I go into using Photoshop?

    Doesn't matter what kind of file...size, jpeg or tiff, black and white as color, etc...Something is in the software issue for my upgraded CS 5 Photoshop, running on a Mac OSX with Leopard version. The CS 5 Adobe software was in an up-grade from CS 3. Best I can do and I thank you for any suggestions based on your experienced background as I can only offer a general interpretation with the waved-horizontal lines that run across some of my images from being in the Photoshop mode from Bridge.

  • Horizontal lines not printing

    My laptop just received a new motherboard and I just reinstalled RoboHelp. All of a sudden, when I try to print a topic, whether it is from a generated .chm file or a preview within RoboHelp, all horizontal lines are missing, regardless of size or color. This is causing a major henderence in the reviewing of print copies for editing purposes.
    I have made sure it was not a color or line issue but printing from other programs and different images-they all print fine. The problem is isoloated to RH (I am using version 7).
    I have attached two screenshots I took of examples of lines that are nort printing.
    I have checked the printer settings-they match the settings used in all other programs.
    Help???
