Trouble printing selected page range as handout

I am trying to print for a keynote but only want a selected page range and just cannot seem to get it to work. When I go into print and select under the pages tab the "from" button and type the range ( eg 184-189 ) I only get the option of slides with notes or outline. I want to pront as a handout with 2 or 3 sldes per page. The preview shows no pages selectde and it is unable to print.
I've tried highlighting the slides I wish to print and trying that but to no avail. The silly thing is I did manage to get it to work this way once but now it doesn't seem to work that way. I'm frustrated as I don't want to print the whole presentation off and throw away the sheets I don't need as it seems to defeat the object of page selection. I also don't want to watse ink by having one slide per page.
Any help will be gratefully received.

I have this issue with my printer also
my work around is to delete the pages I dont want printed, save this version as a separate file and the pages I want print out correctly.

Add a BUTTON that ONLY prints a selected page range

Hello,
I have a 100+ page PDF which has 32 or so 'sections' which are accessible by bookmarks. I want to add a button that allows the reader to print ONLY the section they are in, i.e. a pre-selected page range that I embed in the button.
Is this possible?
If not, is there any other way to do this? The document was originally created in Word and is broken up by Sections.
Thanks,
Chris.

It's possible using a script, but the user will always be able to edit that pre-defined range, if they wanted to.
The only option where they can't edit it is by using a script that silently prints the section, but that requires installing a script on the local machine of each user that is going to use the file.

Can't select page range to print

When I use the printer system dialog box, print all pages is the only option. Print selection, pages, or current page are all greyed out. Have latest software download installed (printer driver)

Hello @LimpingSkunk!
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!
I would be happy to provide some help regarding the HP Photosmart C5550 and selecting pages during the print job. You had mentioned you only get the option to print all pages. Does this happen when printing any multiple page document or does it happen from specific programs?
I understand you have the most up to date drivers but the first thing I recommend is to uninstall the HP software. After the uninstall is complete it would be a good idea to perform a disk cleanup in the computer. A disk cleanup will improve computer performance and clear temporary files that may cause issues during the install of software. Once the disk cleanup is complete you should restart the computer and re-install the HP software.

How do I print selected pages from a multi page document

How do I print selected pages from a multi page document?
This question was solved.

Hi,
It depends on the software you are using, what is it ? In general you can select a range or just a number of pages.

Printing selected page as a pdf in adobe reader

Hi,
I have Adobe Reader for the Mac. I'm dealing with pdf documents that are hundreds of pages. If I wanted to save a single page (or several pages), it seems I have to go through an extra step:
1) print
2) then select printer
3) then get warning window telling me to go to applications dialogue box
4) click ok, go to box
5) select page range in applications printer box.
that's a lot of steps. Preview does this in one step (but has other problems). Is there a way of selecting pages and going directly to save as pdf. I know there's no extract page feature like there is in Acrobat.
thanks for any help,
jeff

Not in the free Reader, no.

Printing selected pages of a PDF to Adobe PDF

I have Acrobat 9, Windows 7, and was happily creating new files from existing PDFs by printing selected pages to Adobe PDF. After having done this a hundred times or so, the process stopped working. I got this message: "When you create a PostScript file you must rely on system fonts and use document fonts. Please go to the printer properties, 'Adobe PDF Settings' page and turn OFF the option 'Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts.'" Then I get a message, "The document could not be printed." Then I get a message, "There were no pages selected to print."
First, I wasn't having any problems up to this point; second, I'm not trying to create a postscript file, I'm just trying to print to Adobe PDF (as in, just page 3 of a six-page document."
Any suggestions? Thanks!

I downloaded the Arcobat SDK and now learning to use it with its sample.
However, I got stuck when I run the program BasicIacVB.
I got the following error message:
Cannot create ActiveX component.
When running the line
gApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
I run this program on my PC with VS2005 installed.
What extra step do I need to do to use the sdk?
Seems there's no installation package there...
Sorry about my stupid question, I am a total newbie in AcrobatSDK.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to develop the program in VB6 (not using VB2005),
as my client PCs does not (and cannot for some reason) install .net framework.

Print each page range double sided as new task

Hi All,
I have that problem. I would like to double sided print some pages from pdf file - let's say pages 1 to 5. But I want them to print like this - pages 1-2 on the first sheet of paper, page 3 on the second sheet (the other side of this sheet I want to be blank) and pages 4-5 on the third sheet.
If I type page ranges 1-3,4-5 when printing the result will be the same if I would type page range 1-5, so pages 1-2 will print on first sheet, pages 3-4 on the second sheet and page 5 on the third sheet. That's not what I want.
The only solution is to first print pages 1-3 and then open printing dialog box again and print pages 4-5 so they would be two separate tasks for printer. But this is very time consuming when working with large files.
I do not have Adobe Acrobat to insert blank page after each section that is odd numbered so this is no solution for me.
Could you please help? Any ideas how to work this out? Is there any printing set up to print each page range as separate task?
Or maybe there is a way to double sided print odd numbered page ranges with an additional blank page at the end so that the next range would start on new sheet?
Thank you in adavnce

dear ,
check ur printer settings , bcos u are using std.program , so i cannt say SAP is doing wrong , better to check ur printer settings

Print different page ranges of a document without, each time, having a print dialog?

Hello,
Would need your valuable help on that one.
I have a large PDF File, of which I want to print different page ranges, based on the checkboxes that have been checked by the User.
Ideally, clicking a "print" button would generate the page ranges, based on the checkboxes that are checked and open one print dialog with the pages ranges already indicated in it. Like this, the User can enter once the printer settings (e.g. booklet or duplex) he wishes, which should then be valid for all the pages contained in all the page ranges.
Thank you in advance for any tip!
Cheers
Serge

Printing Select Pages

I have AA 8.0 on two PCs. One will allow printing selected pages and the other will not. How do I correct this for the one that does not print select pages.
Here's what I do.
On the PC that is able to print select pages:
Open the "Pages" tab, select two pages out of say 4, click the Print botton and the "Current View" changes to "Select Pages"
Is there a setting that will enable printing Select Pages?

Brad,
I don't have 8 on my system any longer. It works in 9 just fine. I'd
suspect that there might be a damaged preference file somewhere. Things
that you can try:
1) Repair installation with Acrobat.
2) Quit Acrobat, remove printer driver, reboot, install printer driver
and test.
3) Remove Acrobat completely and then re-install.
Interestingly enough in Acrobat 9 you can select pdfs in a portfolio and
print them, but you cannot select pages in the pages pane in pdf in a
portfolio to print. The entire pdf gets selected to print. Strike one
against portfolios. You can of course just enter the pages you want to
print---which may work in your senario as well. You may not be able to
select the pages to print, but you can place them in the print dialog
box and it should print only those pages.

ARGH-HUH! Print v Print Selected Pages

Good god almighty.
Is there a way to get Preview to Default (I know I said Preview) to print all the pages when I go Print and then I end up pulling down to "pdf" to print a pdf?!
For the umpteenth time I have scanned a 50 page document, gone to print a pdf of this scan, and accidentally hit "Print" (go figure) instead of selecting all the pages (!?) and hitting Print - and then of course pulling down the pdf and going to Save As pdf.
Print defaults to the selected page ?! and Print Selected Pages works if you select all the Pages?
I have to scan the whole darn document again...
What am I missing? Also, apologies for posting in Pages but I can't find any place else to address this.
Thanks!

As we will have to wait for at least a few days, here is my workaround.

Smartforms: Printing Selective Pages

My smartform have 5 pages. My aim is print selective pages (ie page 1-3).
In the global definition -> initialization, i wrote the statement below:
OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDPAGESLCT = '1-3'.
My problem is all 5 pages are still being printed out instead of page1 to page3. Please advice.

Hi,
With the specified way , the condition cann't work.Once check it.
In the generated FM you have parameter OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDPAGESLCT, which is for "Pages selected for printing".
You have to call FM 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' to get the generated FM name, then call this FM dynamically with the mentioned parameter.

Select page range

Hi,
How to select page range and run our functions with the particular pages?

Hello Hopkins,
I just wanted to tell you, your code is gorgeous! And your very talented!
Everything you create is just an absolute joy to look at. Especially the page range function.

Using Acrobat 9 and suddenly there is no selected page range in the print box. Only selected PDF files or all PDF files. Am I doing something wrong? I need to print only three pages from the document

There is no selected print page range in the print box. Only selected PDF file and all PDF files. Any suggestions?

Well, I looked for where to delete this but didn't see it.
NEVERMIND; I forced iPhoto to quit and restarted and everything seems fine.
BTW, I did get one thing wrong. When I looked at both iPhoto libraries with FINDER, the active one and the archived one both showed content as far as file size goes.
It was because I was viewing the files through Adobe Bridge that it was showing 0 GB's; for whatever reason.

How to: print selected pages, same pages, odd pages on a book?

hi,
about book:
how can I print only pages that I want to?
Like selected pages, odds pages or only that I want?
How can I print front-back sheet?
Thank you

[Jongware] wrote:
I don't think it's possible to set the page range of a Book.printPreferences
Theoretically it ought to be possible. Can't test for myself now; what does happen when you set the pageRange to overlapping sub-files?
I've just tried it with CS3. It might have been implemented in later versions.
In the print Book dialogue the page range field is disabled. You cannot enter anything there.
If you try to do it with a script it says that printPreferences is read only.

Print multiple page ranges based on radio button group choices

Hi ... I have a PDF that is a combined application form made up of 6 separate forms. On the front page, I have 6 groups of "Yes / No" radio buttons.
If the radio button for one or more of these groups is selected as "Yes" then when the Print button (on the page) is clicked then the appropriate page ranges will print.
It is desireable, though not essential, for these to be printed in one print job.
The Code I have been adjusting to try and achieve the result is below but I have tied myself in knots now and any help would be greatly appreciated:

Hi Gilad D
The 'printRanges.push' function works well on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI however when it is used on the systems that the form users will be working on (which runs Adobe Reader 9.4.0.195) the ranges are not pushed to the printer dialogue box and the 'printRange'
in the dialogue is still selecting the 'All Pages' radio button.
Is the printRanges.push function a new and non-backwards-compatible function or is my code the problem
