Spotty printing of text and/or graphics from ID CS3

IDCS3, MacPro, FontExplorer, Canon C1 ImagePress, OSX 10.4.11, 5 Gigs of ram
I have an 18" x 24" poster that is inconsistently printing. Yesterday the first time I output it, no problem. Make a few text changes, a whole block of text drops out although the outer glow prints. I have also had parts of the background graphic drop out. There doesn't seem to be a consistent patten to this. When I print the PDF from Acrobat Pro after a drop out the same error occurs, although it manifests differently (a different section of drop out).
The font involved is Eurostile OTF, there's about 6 logos on the bottom and the background is a Photoshop file. I thought I had it solved by flattening the background in PS, for some reason that worked for a while, but ultimately that is not the problem.
Confused because my thinking is that if the font was corrupt (which I have replaced with a master version I keep), then the error would be consistent.
I am using the stock High Quality transparency flattener.
Also, if I reboot the printer it will print the file maybe once, maybe a few times, then the errors begin.
Thoughts?

Outlined the font prints just fine. This time. As I said it has been pretty spotty. Don't know why I didn't think of that, although I still don't quite believe it is only the font. Perhaps a combination of both things you mentioned.
In any case - thanks.

How to extract text and image information from postscript file

I want to write a programe,and extract text and image information from postscript file using Java.Is it possible? How to extract ?
Thank!

First of all, PostScript is not a "text" file. It can and often does contain binary data. Since PostScript streams often contain nested procedures, unless you process the procedure definitions and can "execute" them, you cannot simply "scan" a file to get what you want. No, I can't talk about this in detail since it is quite complex. But Adobe does have the
PostScript Language Reference Manual on-line for download at
. Look that over and you will have a fairly healthy respect as to the task involved.

Printing html text and font styles

Hello,
when I try to print html text in serif with italic or bold text style the output on a printer incorrectly shows the bold and italic parts in arial or something. Underlined text is printed correctly.
The font is rendered correctly on a JEditorPane.
There were some issues with html rendering in java (e.g. Bug IDs 4331766, 4160605, 1235430, 4141537) but as these bugs are closed/fixed in earlier jdk versions, and i found no hint that anyone else has experienced such problems, i may be doing something wrong?

How can I transfer text and call history from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus?

I just received the iPhone 6 Plus today. In moving information to it from my iPhone 5, I discovered that my text history, call history, and voicemail history haven't been transferred. I had synced the iPhone 5 to iTunes and then synced the iPhone 6 Plus to iTunes. But, since the operating system on the 6 Plus was newer than the 5, iTunes made me treat the 6 Plus as a new phone instead of just backing up the old phone. How can I transfer the call, text, and voicemail history?

Make a backup of the old device and restore the new device to that backup. You will get an exact duplicate of the old phone.

Firefox prints garbled text no matter what, from my XP-SP3 HT-P4 to my HP LJ 1200 PCL

I am using FF 3.6.13 on a HT-P4, 3 GHz, with XP-SP3, 4Gig RAM lots of HD space. Every other application on my machine prints fine to my HP LaserJet 1200 PCL (even MS Explorer and G-Chrome) but no matter what I do in terms of changing settings or fonts, no matter what webpage or HTML file I pull up in it, FF prints garbled text. Some times not all of the text is garbled but usually the parts I really need are the ones garbled.

I wonder whether anyone can give me advice on the above problem, thanks. Have upgraded to Firefox 9.

How can I remove accessibility text and voice over from the logon screen?

Before I log on to my Mac, in the logon screen I get accessibility text and voice over features enabled all the time. I can remove them by pressing cmd + f5 several times until they're gone (while I'm still in the logon screen). I would like to remove them permanently so that they never appear in the logon screen.

Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
'X') from dual" with no luck.
Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

Need to print a text of 255 char from a Ztable into sap script printing.

Hi All,
I Have a requirement where I have to fetch an incoterm description maintained in Z table according to incoterm key and print it via SAP script.
I am getting the complete 255 char data in the variable which I am passing to the script from the driver program, However in the output I can see only 80 characters getting printed.
My code
Subroutine created in se71
DEFINE &L_VTEXT& = SPACE
PERFORM GET_INCOTERMS IN PROGRAM ZMM_MEDRUCK
USING &EKKO-INCO1&
CHANGING &L_VTEXT&
ENDPERFORM
Form created in Driver program:
FORM get_incoterms TABLES pt_input STRUCTURE itcsy
                                             pt_output STRUCTURE itcsy.
   DATA: l_vtext TYPE zincoterms-vtext.
   READ TABLE pt_input WITH KEY name = 'EKKO-INCO1'.
   SELECT SINGLE vtext FROM zincoterms INTO l_vtext
       WHERE inco1 = pt_input-value.
   CLEAR pt_output.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT'.
ENDFORM.
Note: Here pt_output-value is having a complete 255 char data
I have tried printing it using offset as well, However complete text is not getting printed.
Please help me in solving this issue as it is urgent requirement.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit

Hi Ankit,
   pt_output-value = l_vtext.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT1'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+80.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT2'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+160.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT3'.
   pt_output-value = l_vtext+240.
   MODIFY pt_output TRANSPORTING value WHERE name = 'L_VTEXT4'.
I guess it's a workaround if it's really urgent. Present variables next to one another.
regards,
Edgar

Go to your printer preferences on your computer.
1. Click Start menu
2. Choose Devices and Printers
3. Right click on the printer
4. Choose printer preferences
5. Choose ADVANCED
5. Choose "Print in all black text ENABLE" or "grey scale"

Adding an area for text and importing HTML from Photoshop.

Okay, here's the skinny:
I've designed a homepage in photoshop and have decided to export it using the "save for web and devices" option in Photoshop. I've basically sliced the image up into different areas and now that I have it sliced and saved I am looking to import it into dreamweaver, which is actually really easy and caused me no issues.
My question is regarding adding text to such a page, which is now in dreamweaver and all I have is images as the web page. Can I just delete the images, and some of them are just blank black space that i've specifically sliced in the photoshop in case I want to add text in those areas later, and just add text in those areas? Do I need a div tag in that situation? Sometimes when I try and just add text the text pushes the rest of the images to the right when I reach the edge of the space I am using to type text. I guess you've probably established I am kind of new to this and doing it in a completely amateur way, but at this point all I am trying to do is create a sample for someone. I am not in the business of web design or plan on getting into it at any point. This is mostly for fun for me and screwing around.
Thanks.
Maybe an illustration would help? Let me know.

Sadly, this is an all too familiar lament in these forums. Graphics apps produce crappy HTML pages. They're only good for quick comps to show the client before you go to all the trouble of re-building the design with CSS and HTML code. Use Pshop for images only. Use DW to build your web pages.
The following tutorial describes the procedure you should use.

When I open Firefox I get text and no graphics - how do I fix this?

Graphics are fine on web pages, but I see only text on the home page.

Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.
