Text/image boxes disappearing when printed to PDF [CS2, Win]

Strange things are happening today: Text boxes and image boxes, perfectly visible in InDesign -- are completely disappearing when printed to PDF.
The first time I printed, everything came out fine. Then after I moved some stuff around and reprinted, things disappeared.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Yes, that worked. Thanks!
Any idea why this happened?

  • Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

    Hello,
         I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
         Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
         It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
         Any assistance is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • OS X 10.8  Problems with images and layout when printing to PDF from any web browser

    Hi there,  I just bought a new macbook air and running OS X 10.8.  This problem happens in both Safari or Chrome:  When I go to print to a PDF file, the website suddenly drops most images and formatting, ending up in a very old-fashioned layout.  Is this something new with OS X 10.8, or any other suggestions as to what I can do?

    No difference.  I have discovered that it is probably the websit (weird) that is mainly at fault, as I tried the same thing on 2 other machines and the same thing happens to a varying degree on this website, and a lesser degree on other sites.  Thanks for your help, it may not be OS X 10.8 at the root of the problem.
    Yes if it prints to a printer in the same manner, and it occurs regardless of browser it is the website.

  • Controlling the size of text when printing to PDF

    In many applications you can print to Adobe PDF by selecting that as your printer.
    Is there any way to control how the text size will appear when printing to PDF?  Is there any reason why a PDF created by using the print to PDF option would create different sized text on one computer as opposed to another computer?

    The text size depends from the text size in the application.

  • Missing images when printing to pdf from Word

    When printing to pdf from MS Word 2003 in some cases textboxes and/or images disappear in the target PDF, depending on their position.
    Word and Acrobat Standard are the latest updates. If the Word text is converted on a Mac the target pdf has the images present, so it looks like it's a Windows only problem. Any suggestions where to start looking for a fix?

    You may have to turn on "display large images" in the preferences.

  • Safari and chrome, text box disappears when scrolling (created in adobe muse)

    I have noticed with creating three different sites, that when you scroll, sometimes the text boxes disappear, when you scroll back up, the box reappears.
    I have changed the font to a websafe font, so that it isnt rasterised as a picture..
    If anyone has experienced similar or the same I would be so interested to hear from you.
    Thankyou all in advance,
    Squirrelnuts

    Anybody any luck. Are you guys able to replicate the issue?

  • How can I get all of my images to appear when exporting from InDesign (CS2) to a pdf?

    Many of my images are disappearing when I try to convert them. I had this same problem last year, but I would just replace the picture (which was a huge pain because there are 24 images per page) and then eventually after a few attempts they would all show up. Any ideas what the problem is?

    OS = Operating System for your computer (and the version of the operatiing system, please, like Windows 7 x-64 or Mac OS X 10.8.3).
    Patch level is which updates you have installed for your version of ID. CS6 is version 8, and the latest patch is 8.0.1. If you don't know, once you tell us the OS we can tell you how to find out.
    Preview mode is accessed from a button at the bottom of the Toolbox, from the View menu, or by pressing W when the text tool is not active. It makes the pasteboard disappear, along with non-printing objects.

  • When printing to PDF Acrobat locks up at spooling

    Running Windows XP and Office 2007 and Arcobat 8 (with most recent web updated)
    When printing to PDF from any program (Word, Excel, Quickbooks, even Acrobat), the creating PDF window locks up and the print job gets stuck at the spooling status. No errors are displayed, I'm unable to cancel anything. Seemed to start happening after downloading the latest updates.
    Have tried to repair installation 3 times, reinstalled program 2 times, with no sucess. Have run this version for over three months with no issues beforehand.
    Help!!!!

    AcroTray is running in background.
    Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
    In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

  • Characters missing when printing a PDF

    Hi all,
    When printing a PDF file (word document converted and digitally signed with Adobe Pro XI) some characters are not printed, they are as blank spaces. The workaround is to print the file as image, with a significant decrease of printing quality. Is there any setting or option to change to avoid this?

    If as in the past, this is an issue with an HP print driver. Printing as image is generally the solution, but a lot slower I think.

  • Problem with page breaks in IE when printing to PDF

    Hey,
    I am having formatting issues with IE when printing to pdf, I have a dynamically created report which has page breaks at the end of each page, if I open this report(report is in html) in firefox and goto print the formatting is correct, if I open the same report in IE and print the report 80% of the pagebreaks are in tact, 20% are ignored which just makes the report look rubbish, my question is,( I know it not directly related to the reader but was unsure on which forum to post) is there a different css or formatting I should use to make IE play ball.
    Cheers
    Tom.
    the style I use to insert pagebreak is
    <code>
    .breakhere {page-break-before: always;}
    code I then use to implement it is.
    <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=100% CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 CLASS="breakhere">
    </code>

    You may use a forum for IE.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document. Can anyone help?

    Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro do not open when printing a pdf document, instead I open it with Adobe Reader X to be able to print.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Edna,
    It sounds like Adobe Reader X is your default PDF file handler. Launch Adobe Reader X.  Choose Edit > Preferences > General.  Click the 'Select Default PDF Handler' button at the bottom and choose Acrobat 9 from the drop-down menu.  Click Apply, then OK.
    Restart your computer.  Acrobat 9 should now be your default PDF file handler again.

  • When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and markedly smaller print. How do I correct this?

    When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and with markedly smaller print, the top of the page is fine. How do I correct this?

    Open Contacts and click Preferences on the menu named Contacts. On the General tab of the Preferences window, select Show First Name: Before Last Name and then print. You can change that Preference back to the other way after printing if desired.

  • I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF.

    I have a user that has an issue when printing to PDF. When printing to PDF the PC will intermittently freeze and sometimes the print spooler will crash taking all other printers offline. A reboot clears it up for a while but then it comes back.
    Acrobat 11 Pro
    Windows 7 x64
    Office 2010 Professional
    Any help would be great!  Thanks

    I manage a network of 30,000 + workstations all with Acrobat Pro 10.  Upon upgrading to 10.1.10, they all exhibited similar symptoms printing to the PDF printer.  The problem is most obvious in IE 11, it will cause the browser to stop responding, however it seems to depend on the page being viewed.  For example we can print google.com, but not yahoo.com.
    And of course there is no method to roll back to 10.1.9, other than to completely remove and re-install Acrobat.
    I hope this is getting addressed soon!

  • Bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar software - is it a 64 bit problem?

    Had bad crash when printing to pdf in Morningstar Principia Pro software - is it a 64 bit compatability problem? All other software I have can print
    to Acrobat pdf, but in Morningstar the Window 7 PC freezes and not even Task manager can
    unfreeze the computer. Acrobat worked fine in my old XP 32 bit PC when printing from Morningstar. Recently a webinar using
    an Adobe webinar software I was told I must only use a 32 bit browser, so I suspect Acrobat is incompaitble with my new 64 bit PC. Work around solution is to print to Microsoft XPS and then convert to Acrobat but I want to use Acrobat only! Is there a patch for people using 64 bit PCs?
    Can someone at Adobe respond to me, please? I have used Acrobat for over 10 years and am very loyal.

    Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
    export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
    I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.

  • Objects missing when exporting to PDF, but show up when printing to PDF

    Hi - I'm working with someone, both of us in InDesign CS4, and she has some documents that cause a few random objects to just go missing when exported to PDF (same on my computer). But when printing to PDF, they show up fine. They also show up fine if we recreate each individual object, but that can end up being a lot of work. She prefers to export to PDF because of quality. I'm drawing a blank on this one!
    The attached file shows the issue. The green blocks just don't want to show up when exporting.

    Peter -
    The links are just the PDFs of the black and white portions and don't really matter too much since they show up fine when exporting or printing to PDF. Our main concern is the green blocks, which are indeed the green areas of the plan you pointed out. They are actually separate objects created directly within InDesign that can be moved and adjusted.
    I just updated to 6.0.4 and that didn't help. I wonder if this may be a variant of the bugs I was reading about with master pages and certain things not showing up when creating PDFs or printing (even though none of these things are on the master page)?
    Thanks
