[SOLVED] Evince and printing certain PDFs

Hi,
I'm trying to print PDF files from Evince to my new PostScript printer (OKI C531dn with OKI PPD file). Basically, it works until a national character like an Umlaut is encountered. Then the printer stops and just says "invalidfont".
It seems to be a similar problem as described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148446 and some of the workarounds seem to do the trick.
If i convert to ps first and print the same file in Evince, it's correct
pdftops file.pdf file.ps
I tried setting the CUPS option
pdftops-default-renderer=pdftops
but then my printer just prints nothing while CUPS says it prints correctly.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I just noticed the following error message in the CUPS error_log when using Ghostscript as filter:
The font 'CairoFont-0-0' misses the glyph 'dieresis'
What can I do?
EDIT2: I just tried with zathura: Using the poppler pdf plugin, the same results as above occur, even when just previewing. However, with the zathura mupdf plugin, the problem is gone and the page previews and prints fine. Using Adobe Reader, it prints fine as well.

Today, I installed Infinality-bundle and now everything is working fine.
As Infinality-bundle includes a patched Cairo, together with the Cairo error messages from Ghostscript, I suspect this to be the solution.

HP Laserjet pro P1606 wont print certain pdf documents

My HP laserjet P1606 won't print certain pdf docs. It's connected via USB to my imac (OS 10.7.5; Adobe Reader 9.5.5). My wireless HP Photosmart 6520 has no problem printing my pdf docs. Not sure why some pdf's are able to print on the P1606 and others can't. Any solutions?

Hi @JL_MAC,
I understand that you aren't able to print all the PDF documents from the HP Laserjet P1606dn, but the Photosmart 6520 can. I can help you with this.
Run all the Adobe Reader updates to see if that helps. The latest version is 11.0.
It might be a issue with the printer language.
The Laserjet P1606dn printer is hostbased and the Photosmart 6520 printer language is PCL3 GUI.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP 1300 printer fails to print certain PDF documents with OSX 10.7.5.

HP 1300 printer fails to print certain PDF documents with OSX 10.7.5.

I solved this through the phone call help ( which cost me $25 ...) - there was some name colusion in the printer name - the rep basicallt uninstalled everything, did hard resent to all devices - printer, router and Mac, then installed the printer again under new name , seems to solve the problem .

When I make a Book in Aperture and print a PDF proof version, all the modified photos (marked with Badges) are totally distorted. What is causing this? All other - non-modified photos - appear to be fine.

When I make a Book using Aperture 3 and print a PDF proof version, all images that have been modified within Aperture are distorted in PDF form. All other images appear ok.

As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
. Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

Why does my computer freeze when I try and print a pdf?

I have a new computer with Windows 7 64 bit. It seemed that suddenly i developed this problem when trying to print a pdf file with Adobe X. Everything would look like it was going fine, but when the print download screen popped up, it would not download the pdf file and my computer froze. I have to manually shut down my computer to unfreeze it. I have tried to print using an earlier version of Adobe (Adobe 9), tried a different printer, tried printing as an image, or print as a file. Nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.

Open and print a PDF from web

I created an application to open a PDF and print it directly on the default printer. This application works if the file is a Windows' network address (example: \\192.168.0.4). But if I put an internet address (URL), the Acrobat Reader presents the following error:
There was an error opening this document. The syntax of the name of the file, folder or name of the volume is incorrect.
The command I'm using is:
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe\" /t http: \\192.168.0.4:8082\test\file.pdf \\192.168.0.15\HPLaserJet
There are print directly as a URL?

You need a Smartform, SAPScript, or AdobeForm to be defined for your output. Define an action/method for print, then pass the data to your Form. SmartForms are not bad, as SmartForms generate a Function Module, and are easy to call.
Call the SmartForm Function with PDF output = 'X' (parameter within Output Control I think). Then pass the PDF_DATA[] table (type = TAB_SOLIX) to a new window output .
Don't have the code in front of me, but have done it several times.
Adobe Forms is another good option, but you need Adobe Server, and generally I have found ADOBE to be SLOOOOOWWWWW. I think Steve Jobs might have been on to something with ADOBE -- just my opinion.
And of course, it can be done with SAPSCript, but I would need a whole blog on how to do that.....

The simplest way that I know of would be to use 'navigateToURL()' and let the user to print the pdf from the browser.
Does anyone have the advice on doing this within the Flex app; i.e. without opening a new browser window?

What do I need to fill out and print a PDF form?

I need to type on this form save and print it, how do I do that?

Hi nette7,
To fill in, save, and print your form, you can use the free Adobe Reader. You can download the free Reader from here: PDF reader, PDF viewer | Adobe Reader XI.
Of course, if you have a full version of Acrobat, you can use that as well. But Reader will definitely give you the tools you need to get the job done.

Printing: computer freezing when I try and print a PDF

I used to be able to print a PDF but suddenly the whole printer freezes as soon as the printer comes up.

Hi twcco,
Let's see what we can figure out. We'll need to get some basic information from you to figure out where there problem lies:
Are you having trouble with a specific PDF file, or with any PDF that you try to print?
Are you on Mac OS or Windows (and what version)?
Are you printing from Reader or Acrobat (again, what version)?
Are you printing directly to the printer, or over WiFi/network?
Are you able to print from other applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you. We'll see what we can do to get to the bottom of this printing issue.
Best,
Sara

How do you improve the speed of processing and printing of PDF from CAD in indesign?

I work for an engineering consultancy company and for a long while I have suffered with using PDFs files generated from AutoCAD when placed within an InDesign report. There are three issues that arise:
The files take a long time to process when preparing the InDesign report. (This is mainly in high quality preview mode)
The files take a long time to export to PDF
(The most annoying one) The files take a long time to process and print when sent from the PDF to the colour laser printer. So much so, a single page from InDesign that contains a PDF generated from CAD can take up to 15 mins to print.
I have tried converting the PDFs to jpegs prior to insertion into the InDesign document, but the quality and colour is dramatically reduced thus them useless. Is there any pre processing on the PDFs generated from CAD that I can do to reduce the impact that it has within InDesign and in the post processing?
We also get missing font warnings that arise from the inserted PDFs from CAD that may or may not be an issue. Your advice here would also be appreciated.
I would be the first to admit that I am not the most advanced user of InDesign though I am sure that my workflow could be improved to alleviate the situation.
Your assistance would be appreciated!

Thanks for your quick response.
I have tried both options you have recommended, but unfortunately the file size doesn't seem to be the issue. Most of our CAD files (except for when they contain raster backgrounds) are around 0.5-2Mb which isn't massive compared to some jpegs. The PDF optimization process does make a small difference to the file size but only in the region of perhaps 5% reduction.
If it helps the most awkward file I am using at the moment has this audit result, pre-optimization. This is typical of the CAD files produced by AutoCAD. As you can see the content streams take up the highest percentage that doesn't reduce that much even when the optimizer has all options engaged.
What do you think?

I can't print certain .pdf documents in Adobe Reader?

When I try to print certain documents from in Adobe Reader XI, instead of going to my printer screen, it goes to a SAVE screen? What is happening, and how can I fix it? I am using a Brother MFC-J460W All-in-One that I just purchased a few months ago, and just download the latest available driver for it. I am using Windows 8.

In the Print dialog click the Advanced button and make sure that "Print to file" is not selected.
