Text not printing or PDFing. Non-printing is not applied. Help?

I have a logo. The top is on a path applied to an oval. Same with the bottom. In the middle is an ampersand (&). When I try to print, only the ampersand prints. I've tried printing to 2 different machines. I also tried saving it as a PDF but I lose everything except the ampersand in the middle. Everything is colored black, so there are no weird colors going on. Non-printing is not applied to anything. Any thoughts? I can send the file to somebody if they want to check it out.
ID CS 3
Thanks,
Chris

Sorry for the delay. Spent some time looking for the font becasue I'm on Windows.
I opened it first in CS5, and after font substitution it exported fine, so I figured maybe it was a font problem on your end, but just to be safe I opened it in CS3 to check. Same problem here that you have on your end.
Good news, though. I exported to .inx and opened that. That page opened at 11 inches high, which may be part of the problem, but after resizing, it exported correctly. This is a pretty good inidcator of some minor corruption that is fixable by the export. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

Printing colors not correct when using non printer software

I am using a new CANON MX882. When I print using the Canon easy photo software the print turn out perfect. However when I print from Aperture or Photoshop Elements the pictures turn out with the colors blown out and overexposed. I have the lates drivers availabe from Canon which they say is compatible works with 10.7. I have tried using the printer manament or the software and it doesn't make any difference. Any thoughts on whats next? I am wasting all sorts of paper trying to figure this out.
thanks
Chris

I don't have Aperture or PSE but I do have Photoshop CS5 and with that application the best settings are to let the printer manage the colours. I have some grabs from the PS5 print dialog for your reference.
From the PS5 print dialog, from the Color Management menu the Color Handling is set to "Printer Manages Color".
When you select Print and the normal print dialog appears (or you open Print Settings from the PS5 print dialog) select the Color Matching menu and ensure it is set to Canon Color Matching.
And the last thing to check is the Quality & Matching menu for the Canon printer. The colour profiles for the printer are based on different paper stocks. So it is important that in the Media Type menu you select the type of paper being used and you also want to select High Quality.

Transferred CS4 to new MacBook Pro, now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. Help!

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.

you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.

Non-printing text frame for use in exported pdf

Hi everyone,
I have a couple of words in a text frame and I've set the text frame to be be non-printing in the attributes panel. I was hoping that by doing this, that when I exported to pd, it would show in the pdf file but not print, but as it happens it doesn't show at all in the pdf.
Is there a way to mark a text frame as non-printing in Indesign but still have it show in the pdf and not print in the pdf?
Would be grateful for any advice.

It might work to put it on it's own layer, mark the layer as non-printing, so it won't print from ID, but export a layered PDF (you might have to include non-printing layers to get it inthe PDF, but I don't think so). In Acrobat pro you can then change the layer properties to visible, but non-printing. It's a real pain to do this.

Create non-printing text?

Can text in Pages be marked as non-printing? If not, is there a work around? Thank you.

Hello
As far as I know this feature is unavailable.
A workaround would be to use "white ink" for these pieces of text.
An other one would be to put these "non-printing" text in comments.
"Hide Comments" before printing.

When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

Text prints as bold when it's not bold :(

Hi,
I'm using Windows 7 and InDesign CS6. When I print PDF documents from files that have been created in InDesign some lines of the text print out bold when they are not bold and they also look a little fuzzy. I am creating the PDf using the "[High Quality Print]" option. I have tried changing several settings on the printer but nothing makes a difference. The problem doesn't occur when I print in black and white nor does it occur on PDF's I create from word or other applications. Can someone please help? Thanks Mel

Try updating the driver to a newer version for your printer.
And if you can get a Postscript Driver for your printer.
I had a similar issue last year and installing a postscript driver fixed the issue for me.
What printer are you using?

Connected wirelessly to Canon printer MX340. Duplex printing option is grayed out for me but not on my daughter's non-Mac laptop or husband's PC which is connected to the printer. Mine has two-sided option available at the Apple store. Any ideas?

We use a Canon MX340 series printer/fax/scanner. My husband has his PC hooked to it and my daughter prints wirelessly from it with no problem with her non-Mac laptop. I have trouble printing. Often it does not print and I have to delete the job from the queue. Other times it will print OK but two-sided printing is always grayed out in my printing options. When I took it to the Apple store and printed on their network (selecting their printer) the two-sided option was available. Makes me think the printer is set up wrong, but I am not certain. A fw times at home when trying to print I got an error message about incompatible fonts, but it printed anyway after deleting the job and starting over. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

OK, just an update.
Two years into this, I still find I can only do full duplex printing by using Windows XP running inside of VMWare. I've had occasional, ephemeral luck with duplex printing, but nothing long lasting.
I've tried this in Tiger and Leopard (now at 10.5.6), and I've had this issue with Canon printers MP780 iP4300 and MP610, direct connected to my Core2Duo 17" MBP. I also have this issue when printing over a network, but that's a much harder problem to solve.
Currently, this is my #1 most pressing issue for my Mac, because not being able to print from a computer when you print a lot is a really big drag, and using VMWare all the time is also a really big drag. Other people posting seem to be able to print in Duplex using the very same printers. What could be wrong with my MBP? I see the duplex box option, but most of the time it's grayed out as if my printer doesn't support duplex.
I've tried direct selecting printer drivers from the system preferences, but nothing seems to have an effect. And this is off of a clean Leopard install.
My wife now has similar problems with her new MBP - the Canon print drivers (CUSP & non CUSP) aren't allowing the Duplex box to be checked.
I am willing to pay good money to anyone who thinks they can fix this problem.
Thank you,

Marking text as non-printing

I read that in ID CS4 it's possible to mark text as non-printing (while still including it in a TOC). However, I can't find where this command is ...
Can anyone help?

What I'm trying to do is this.
My (inherited) ID CS4 document has 5 chapters. On each chapter title page, there are two separate header styles (with very different formatting). One says,for instance, 'Chapter 1' and the other provides a description, such as: 'Managing Applications'
I want the TOC to show: 'Chapter 1: Managing Applications'.
If I tell the TOC to pull in both styles, I get (on two lines):
Chapter 1
Managing Applicaitons 7
My thought, based on Sandee Cohen's text, was to insert a second 'Chapter 1' in front of the 'Managing Applications' and mark the former as hidden. But ID can't do this...
Is it possible to put the second 'Chapter 1' on a second hidden layer, inside the same frame?
Even if you can do this, it probably isn't worth the effort in this instance. But I'd just like to know for future reference.

Non-Printing Text / ePub

I have a page with the chapter number on it—nothing else.
1) Other than deleting the chapter number text, or moving if off onto the pasteboard, is there a way to have it non-print when exporting to ePub.
I tried checking off non-print in the attributes panel, but no effect there.
2) Also, even if could hide the text, would the frame that it's in take up space in the ePub?
Thanks.
Eden

Excellent solution!
Thanks,
Eden

When printing PDF to non PS printer, text vanishes

This has happened now with a couple of PDF files that customers have sent to me. I never had this problem under Windows, but since switching to Mac it's cropped up twice.
I print the PDF to my Epson C1900 and the text simply does not appear - all other stuff on the oage prints fine.
If I send the job again, but in PostScript, rather than native epson driver, then the printer renders the document correctly.
I also notice that Preview in Mac OSX also shows the same vanished text - but opening the PDF in Acrobat shows all the text there.
Any ideas?
I have stripped out all fonts from my Library/fonts and User/Library/Fonts and most of System/Library/Fonts (except several necessary fonts for the system) - however, I can't see how this should affect a PDF - if Acrobat can render it on accuratly on screen then surely it should print?
Steve

A file which has the problem is at:
http://www.wlv.ac.uk/PDF/uow-direct-app-home.pdf
It has substituted the "Adobe Serif MM" font -
Is this a problem with Acrobat on Leopard? That PDF's without Embedded fonts do not deprecate properly to showing/printing the Substitute fonts?

Non-printing items that display in the PDF, but do not print

I've not found definitive word on this, but we are creating a document in InDesign (CS3 Mac) and would like to include some navigational arrows that advance users from one page to another.
They would display on screen but would not print when the user prints.
My understanding is that if we render the PDF from InDesign with those items set as a non-printing layer, that they would not display in the PDF.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
Dave

Just set the buttons option to Visible but Doesn't Print.

I wonder about the colors in the program. When i work and later gonna print the text i have some problem. The color is not the same when im print it. One color on the screen and another when i print it why?

How can I stop text from being show when I print it?

You can see the webpage I am working on here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
I created a staylesheet called "print.css" and added the following lines to my Resume.html file:
<link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
In my Resume.html file I have a link that will print a PDF of my resumé. However, if you print the resumé then I do not want the link to print the resumé to be shown.
In the print.css I created the following class:
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
I applied the class to the 'offending' text, thus:
<p class="doNotPrint"><a href="PDFs/Peter A. Forkes - Resume.pdf">Resume.pdf</a></p>
however, it does not seem to have any effect. I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
If you can suggest either how to make my method work (or suggest a better method) that that should mean that I have finished everything I want to do with my webpage.
Thanks,
Peter

I am assuming (since the background is white) that changing the text color to white should make it invisible.
The problem with the CSS is that you've targeted the <p> tag with the rule, not the <a> tag so it has no effect. Normal text in that paragraph will print in white but links will display in #333 because of your rule on a:link and a:visited
Nevertheless, I would avoid those tricks in case you incur the displeasure of the search engines. They're widely used by spammers and are punished accordingly (even though I know we're talking about a print stylesheet and your intentions are honourable :-).
In your print stylesheet, change
.doNotPrint {
color: #FFF;
to
.doNotPrint {
display:none;
