Setting up 20" x 180" document to print on a vinyl printer/cutter

Hi,
I work for a large vinyl company and I have a task of creating a 20" x 180" document to be printed through VersaWorks onto a Roland VersaCamm. Now, the document is a "pattern" where the same .jpeg image is repeated 4 times across and 36 times down in illustrator. (I know.. why a .jpeg in Illustrator? Because VersaWorks is a very fussy program that only reads .eps's from illustrator or corel draw). Anyway, I have basically tried almost anything and everything to try and reduce this file size because it will not save, thus not allowing me to print it through VersaWorks. My computer crashes and stops responding after I click save as .eps. If anybody has any idea how to help me out or has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm working with Illustrator CS5.
Thank You,

Hi emski.net,
I got your problem,
I would like to sugesst you to do this job in two methods.
Make a file in .eps format in illustrator rip it in a supporting rolland software & give a multiple copies based on media sizes.
Illustrator having a limitation on sizes it will not exceed more than 225" Make the file in a smaller scale with
Multiple copies while ripping the file for printing give a exact scale & start to do your needfull.
Or develop the file in photoshop save as in .eps file Now start to rip in the printer software to execute.
I think this info will help you out

I would like to set my preferences so that documents always print double-sided without having to click anything other than "print".

I'm trying to set my preferences so that all documents print double-sided automatically without my having to remember to click the "Print on both sides of paper" button. I print literally thousands of PDF files! Duplexed. How do I set this as a preference? PS: I work on a MAC OS X and I have Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.12.

I'm not trying to set the printer preferences, I'm trying to set the
Adobe Acrobat Printer defaults. If I don't click on "Print on both
sides of paper" in the Acrobat Print box, then that overrides my printer
default and prints the document single sided. In the "good old days" I
just chose "Duplex" under "Advanced" and then Acrobat would
automatically duplex all my print jobs until I chose otherwise. Now,
duplex is not an option under Advanced.... I was hoping it had just
been moved elsewhere.

Setting a global margin for any documents to print

Hello,
On a Mac running OS X, I have a ruby/java script allowing me to open a Microsoft Word document and print it as a PDF (and extra stuffs, but that's not part of the problem). During the conversion from Word to PDF for most of my documents I get a dialog saying 'A footer of section X is outside of the printable area of the page...'. What I would like to do is not to write a script to click 'yes' when a dialog open but to try to set the default margin for printing to 0. In the 'page setup', there is an option to create customized 'paper size', with a giving width, height and margins (that I can set to 0). By default the paper size is selecting A4, but I would like to find a way to set this paper size as a default to my customized paper size for any document opened on Microsoft Word or printed as PDF! If I select manually the customized paper size after I open the document on Word, I can print it without having the dialog.
So my question is to know if there is a way to set a global margin for printing to 0 (let me know if I need to use Acrobat Pro, Distiller etc.), whatever the way is.
Thank you very much!
Vincent

Alan,
There is nothing specific with the SDK that you have to print a marketing document such as a Sales Order, PO, etc. What you may want to look at in the 2005A SDK is the "PrintEvent" object. This event lets you catch a print event in the SAP Business One application, get the relevant data that is sent to the printer and then edit it using a third-party editing tool such as Crystal Reports. The PrintEvent event provides an exit point that allows you to integrate third-party tools for reporting and document editing.
You can look at the sample code for the PrintEvent here ...

Set a preview document to print limited copies?

Hi,
Is it possible to set a preview (PDF) document to print only a certain number of copies after which it would then become locked (password protected)?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Dave

Yes, I take your point. Once the genie's out of the bottle...

Hi Dave,
I don't think so, I think you'd have to wrap it in some kind of Script or App that kept track of how many times it printed, but then how would you prevent them from copying/duplicating the whole thing???

When chaning filename in Finder, pressing 9 causes document to print?

This is the strangest and most annoying glitch ever. If I'm modifying file names from a finder window (say, adding 2009, after the name) when I press the '9', the document immediately prints. Sure, I can open the file and Save As to change the name, but I'd rather fix this funny automated option.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Print PDF document with printer's name and date/time of print

Hi,
I'm pretty new to this...
I have a PDF document and when I print it, I want the printer's name and the date/time of print to be showed on the printer's output.
I have several printers (some local and some on network) and don't necessarly use the default one. I would like the name of the printer used, to be printed on the document.
With var h = this.getField("Printer"); h.value = app.printerNames; I'm able to get the list of all printers available but I just need the one used.
For the date/time, using var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("mmm/d/yyyy", new Date()); gives me the date/time of when the document is open, not when the document is printed. (or maybe I'm missing something?)
I guess the date/time issue is not the major one as there is usually not much difference between the time you open the document and the time you print it.
I'm more interested in the printer's name.
I use Acrobat Pro 9 to edit my PDF document.
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks!

This project was left aside for a while... but it's now finished!
Thank you for the answers. It was helpful.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did (using Adobe Acrobat 9.5.1):
Open PDF document in Acrobat
Select Forms -> Add or Edit Fields
Add two text fields: one called "Today" for the date and one called "Printer" for the printer name
Close the form editing
Select Advanced -> Document Processing -> Set Document Actions...
Then select Document Will Print and Edit
Paste the following code:
var f = this.getField("Today"); f.value = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy - HH:MM", new Date());
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
this.getField("Printer").value = pp.printerName;
Save your PDF
Enjoy!
The date and printer name field will be automatically updated when you print the document!

How can I save a Adobe document to print duplex for other users.

I want to create a doc using Adobe and be able to set it to print duplex by other users without the user needed to go into printer settings.
All the user has to do is click print on there computer and the doc. will print duplex. The users have Adobe Reader installed.

It is possible to set a default value for the Adobe Reader or Acrobat print dialog on a document basis. After the document is created, go to Document Properties (Ctrl-D), and select the Advanced tab. Go to the DuplexMode setting. Normally, this is set to Simplex, i.e. single sided printing. You can also set it to either Duplex Flip Long Edge or Duplex Flip Short Edge depending upon your needs. Duplex Flip Long Edge is normally used for printing of “portrait” orientation content with Duplex Flip Short Edge typically used for printing of “landscape” orientation content. Then save the PDF file (typically, “save as” should be used).
Important notes: Obviously, this only works if the PDF file is being opened by one of the applications that even bothers to look at these settings. Adobe Reader and Acrobat do. Don't count on MacOS Preview or other applications to do so! Furthermore (and somewhat obviously), this setting is only observed with print devices that directly support duplex printing. And finally, this does not force the user to print duplex. It simply pre-populates the print dialog; the user can change the setting.

Imposed document only prints one copy at a time

Hi,
Printing a 100 page 25 sheet imposed 8.5 x 14 Acrobat document is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first copy printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one,
printer default is set for 8.5 x 14 and first print ran from drawer 2.
Older CS 2 imposed files, imposed by Lowly Apprentice, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex.
OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel.
ID CS5 book > flight test clear > .pdf > open with Acrobat 9.3.2 > impose with Quite Imposing > save imposed pdf > prints only one at a time
then printer stops and asks for different paper in different drawer.
Garrett

Hi Garrett,
I'm glad your back in production. As for the issue you're having with the printer you'll have to contact HP or Adobe.
Quite Imposing Plus doesn't Print, it just imposes the PDF pages and Acrobat is the Printer.
I'll send this off to Engineering to see if they have any other thought why it might be doing this. However, if all the pages are the same size and the orientation is the same, I've never heard of Acrobat and HP not printing correctly.
cheers,
Charles

Hi Charles, I have a second printer related symptom you might wish to know. Printing is limited to only one copy. At the end of the first printing; printer stops and requests letter-size paper, for drawer one, printer default is set for 8.5 x 14, first print ran from drawer 2. Older imposed files from CS 2, not qi, still print multiple copies on HP 4200 duplex, slow yet reliable, and repairable. OS 10.5.8 iMac duo core intel. CS5 with Acrobat 9.3.2 Luckily, I'm probably the smallest international publisher on planet earth. Not so luckily, with eleven years of untrained habits. Anyway, I figured I should run this by you first. Thanks for putting me back in production. Cheers, Garrett PS > The auto rotate and center function on/off selectors are grouped as one, Acrobat print dialog; result in preview is vertical instead of landscape, one page rather than two.

Any solution to why the first page of secure document will print, but is blank?

Title page of a secured document is printing out blank. The page has stamps on it and is clearly visible during the print preview before print. Second and subsequent pages print fine.
Unsure if some setting has been unchecked that skips printing the first page or some unknown error.
Any help would be apprecaited. Thanks.

Hi Shabeaut,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the template of the root site without creating the susites in another web application.
I recommend to export all the existing subsites and import them to new web application.

HT4356 When printing from the iPad how to control how many pages of the document to print?

When printing from the iPad, how to control how. Any pages of the document to print?

You got me curious (even though I've never used coupons.com, and I have an AirPrint printer). So I checked out coupons.com in the iTunes Store and found the following two reviews that I think explain everything:
Based on the above, my conclusion is coupons.com is set up to print on wireless HP printers from an iPad. You could print to a non-AirPrint HP printer as well using an app from the iTunes Store. But the non-AirPrint printers do offer considerably less compatibility with Apple's iPad applications than the AirPrint ones do. For example, in the Epson case, non-AirPrint Epsons can print from Safari but not from email.

Shrunken Document When Printing

Hello I've been trying to print my Pages documents, but it isn't working out quite so well. In Print Preview, the text fills out an 8.5 x 11 letter size page, but when the document is printed, the text does not fill up the entire page.
I've browsed through the discussion boards, and applied the remedies posted. I am not showing comments, which was the main problem for everyone else.
For reference, I am trying to print a standard text document, facing pages, inside margin 2.54 cm, outside margin 0.54 cm.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need to make sure your paper size is correct:
• Open the Inspector.
• Click on the blank white page icon to the far left.
• Make sure all the margins and page size are correct.
• If they are. then close the Inspector and press ⌘ +p.
In the lower print pulldown menu (which defaults to 'copies and pages' ) choose 'layout'. See if everything there is set up correctly.
I have had some weird print problems when using Pages to open Appleworks docs. The problems righted themselves when I re-chose my settings in the Inspector.
Most printers also allow some sort of percentage printing. Make sure you are printing at 100%.

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing?

I have justed upgraded CS2 to CS5. How do I set artboard crop or trim marks for printing? It was under the "OBJECTS" menu in CS2, but I can't find it in CS5.

it actually works the same way but better you don't see it that way but with perhaps more experience you might catch on and say "oh now I see that' all I have to do.
Multiple artboards, which you did not have in CS 2 , changes the equation.
When you open a new document you can set up a gangup in the new document dialog then say for a business card then do one business card in the first one.
Then copy the art and text of that first one and in one command paste that art in all of the artboards with one command, you can then make another artboard that encompasses all the artboards and you now have a gang up say six up you can now print all a once as a gang up or print a range of the artboards or specific artboards.
As a matter of fact now that you can paste on all artboards with one command AI CS 5 actually has a step and repeat feature that works verticaly and horizontally at the same time. And an improved version is easily had.
Also since you probably know how many you need of this first artboard then you can simply make one rectangle for for the first artboard and give it a crop area effect and when you do your copy include the rectangle and then paste on all artboards and there you are
look at the video, see how cool. less complicated not more complicated. And as other users explore this function I bet they come up with even better ideas.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Artboards.mov
I am going to make one adjustment here instead of doing a command c to copy the first artboard it would be better to do a command x to cut the first one since the command paste on all artboard does exactly that. So if you do a command c and a command option shift v then you have two rectangles and art and crop marks pasted on top of each other. Probably won't do any harm but might be confusing in the layers panel.

My spreadsheet is set for landscape but shows portrait in "print view". How do I fix this?

My spreadsheet in Numbers is set for landscape but appears as portrait in "print view". What am I doing wrong?

Where are you seeing "print view?" Using the little paper icon at the bottom left of your document turns print view on & off & that is also where you can set portrait or landscape. The default is landscape.

Every document I print also prints out a summary sheet at the end. I want to disable this function

Every document I print also prints out a summary sheet at the end. i want to turn off this function.

Check the print options in the dialog box. If you don't have all this information displayed, click the circled arrow next to the printer name. Click the program option drop down, it's the one with a horizontal line to the left and right, check the cover page option. I can be set to before or after a print job. Just say none.

Centrally positioning a document when printing a booklet (CS4).

Good morning everyone,
I'm printing a document using the print booklet feature, 2-sided saddle stitch. The document is then stapled along the center margin.
The document is being printed onto A3 paper using a Xerox Phaser 7760.
The document in terms of dimensions is smaller than A3 and does not have to be scaled down - thus printed at 100%.
When the document is printed the document is not positioned centrally when measuring from crop marks to the edge of the paper on the left measuring 20mm and on the right 18mm.
Please see image below.
Because the document is printed two sided when I fold the document the alignments are all wrong, I essentially need the document to be positioned exactly centered with a measurement of 19mm on both the left and the right.
My print settings are set as follows, using the print booklet feature, i have matched the settings to the printer settings and the problem still persists.
Please note i have tried printing it with/without the creep setting to 0.5 and it has made no difference. The problem also persists if i match my printers print settings to those of the indesign built in print settings as i was convinced there may be a conflict of interests between the two.
I hope you can help and look forward to hearing from you,
All the best,
Joe.

I have printed the document numerous times one and two sided and measured them all individually to see if there was any variation as you suggested but the problem is identical on each print out, 20mm on the left and 18mm on the right.
I'm not entirely sure it's the printer or I would expect to see some variation as you suggested - could it possibly be something is set wrong within the print settings within indesign - that's causing this small but rather difficult to solve problem.
Obviously as you say i could amend the designs and shift everything 2mm and enlarge the bleeds to allow for the shift but essentially I'm not willing to commit to these alterations until I'm fully convinced that it is not the software causing the issue.
Thanks again,
All the best,
Joe.
