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?

I do not recieve texts from iMessage friends when I am not connected to the internet(wifi nor 3G). Am I supposed to, if so is there a setting on my part to fix this? Even the techs at my provider can not give me a definative answer.

iMessage uses data not your messaging plan. You need to have either Wi-Fi or cellular data turned on to use iMessage

My phone won't send outgoing mail. Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load. Help!

These are ongoing problems. I really want to go back to my android. This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail. I have done a restart. I have cleared my cookies. Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones. When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet. Very disappointed in this phone.

if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

Fields are bold for some users, not bold for others.

I have a report in Crystal reports XI using BusinessObjects. One of my users is complaining that one of the fields is bold. But it's not set to bold in the report, and when I run the same report, called the same way, with the same data, the field is not bold. We had a note about printer drivers, and he ran through our help on that, but it didn't change anything.
The field is actually a subreport, but I looked at that, and it is a straight database field (SQL Server 2000, memo type), not a formula, and it is not set to bold anywhere in Crystal, at least not that I can see. And besides, it doesn't print bold for me. He saved to a pdf and sent it to me, and it is bold. I saved the same data report to a pdf and it is not bold.
Does anyone have any ideas for a direction I should look? I think I recall seeing this field bold at some time on my machine, which makes me think it has something to do with a difference in Windows between our two machines. But that's pretty vague.
Here is some additional information. It's not always the same field. Sometimes two fields in a report are bold. It happens for users with both IE6 and IE7, although it's also not happening for some of us with IE6. We can set our IE6 settings to the same, and it happens for one and not for another.

I'll ask about and check the Acrobat -- but we're using the ActiveX viewer -- so how does that matter? We've tried changing default printers before running the report, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. But... when I open the report to edit it, it does complain about me not having the printer that the report sees as a default, so it still may be related to printer drivers. I think that's a good direction to keep investigating.
I don't think the customer would like the entire report in bold, but that is an innovative solution!
I saw a post from about 6 months ago where it seemed like someone had the same problem, but there was no reply or solution. If I do figure it out (or if your help leads me in the right direction), I'll post the solution.
Thank you for the reply.

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

Print problem. trying to print a document in Preview, the start of the text prints half way down the page not at the top of the page?

Print problems. Printing out an email the text starts half way down the page. I tried taking a picture of the text I wanted to print, tried to print from Preview and have the same problem. If anyone has any ideas I would really apreciate it. Thanks Penny

One more thing to check: System Preferences/Print & Scan. Make sure your printer is set as Default.
I'm using OS X 10.8 and I don't see Page Setup anymore. If you have access to Page Setup, check to see if there are any adjustments to make there.

WHEN STARTING A PRINT, THE BOX COMES UP AND STATES THE PRINTER IS OFFLINE WHEN IT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT

This sounds like Thunderbird did not close properly.
When you exit Thunderbird, allow the computer a few moments to fully close all processes before shutting down computer.
Access your Profile folder and delete the parent.lock file.
make hidden files and folders visible:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Locate your Thunderbird Profile folder:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
If using Windows:
C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name
* Find the '''parent.lock''' file in your profile folder.
* Delete that file.
* close window - top right X
* Start Thunderbird.

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.

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'. Really dissapointed, my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it?

I ordered a photobook, when I went to purchase it flashed up a warning about default text saying 'printed books will not include this text'.
Was really dissapointed when my photo book arrived with the default text printed. Will I have to return it? Or can I get some sort of discount? I don't live near a post office so I'd rather not have to return it.

Contact Apple support - they can answer that type of questions - we are just users here like yourself
BTW - it is best not to order when you have errors - to resolve that error place a single space in the subject text box
and always
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

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,
Kevin Murphy

Some text appears bold when published. Why?

Hi.
I've used iWeb to create my very first web-site, but I have an annoying problem. On my links page, one particular block of text appears in bold when viewing on a browser. The text is not bolded, though, in iWeb.
http://web.mac.com/stevenrichardjackson/iWeb/bloggermepink/links.html
Look at the links on the right hand side, under the subheading "Apple".
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to make this text appear the same as the rest if the text on that page.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Wow -- this is getting stranger and stranger...
I did what you suggested, namely duplicating the "Apple" links text box, deleting the "Films" and "Geekery" text boxes, repositioning the duplicated box into the desired place and re-typing the links. This sounded like a pretty good suggestion.
However...
Now have a look:
http://web.mac.com/stevenrichardjackson/iWeb/bloggermepink/links.html
If you put your mouse over the "Geekery" links and move it around a bit, you'll see that the Xbox sites have a phantom space that appears and disappears depending on where the mouse is hovering...
The only explanation I can think of is that there is some kind of bug in iWeb's Publish function. Has this section of my web-site been published twice, and the second publish hasn't overwritten the first???
This might be way off mark, but what else could be causing this?
I have checked my file in iWeb, by the way, and there's no hidden text box or anything like that...
Hope you have a suggestion.
Cheers,
Steve.

Pages makes my text bold when I export to word

I need to export a pages document to word and the text in this document is not bold but when I export to word it makes my whole text bold. it's driving me crazy and I've been trying for an hour now. Can someone please help me? What should I do to have a normal text in my word document. I don't want it to be bold!

Last Fall, Apple released Pages v5. I tend to shorthand, and refer to this version and its subsequent minor revisions, as Pages v5+. Currently, it is at v5.2.2. Prior to Pages v5, Apple offered Pages ’09 v4.3, a more capable word processor.
If you are making a CV for upload to job sites, they may restrict the size of your document to about 100 Kilobytes. The minimum Word export size in Pages v5 will be around 500 Kilobytes, while the older Pages v4.3 would do this in 10 - 30 Kilobytes. Another characteristic of Pages v5 is its tendency to make exported Word document text darker than good taste would dictate.
In Pages v5, with the side Format panel set to Text and Style, click the globe adjacent to the text color well. Once the color chooser is open, select the second color panel from the toolbar. See images below. By default, Pages v5 has brightness set to zero, or really black text. I suggest you set this to 21%, and see if this produces more tasteful black text on export. You would need to select any text in your Pages document for this to take effect.

I can't print wirelessly using Airport Express. I have my HP printer connected to a USB hub, and the hub to the Airport Express, but when I select the HP from the printer list, my MacBook says the printer is "off-line" - even when it is not.
