Using OS Print Dialog as Default

I love the CS5 suite, but I need to turn off the Adobe Acrobat Pro print dialog. How do I turn off the special Adobe print dialog so the regular OS print dialog box comes up by default? I've done this in applications like Chrome but can't find where to do it in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

This is a user forum, and Adobe staff only rarely visit here (especially when Adobe is closed for the holidays). Your best bet is to file a feature request here:

How to print specific pages of a pdf from a vb 2013 program using a print dialog

Hi. I am using the acrobat sdk to display pdfs from within a vb 2013 program, because the pdfs are large and we have developed indexes on certain columns. The indexes are stored in SQL tables. My program has a search window which allows the user to search for a value and displays all the pages on which this value appears in the indexed column in a listbox. By double-clicking on the desired value in the listbox, the user can go to the selected page and column. However, the user also needs to be able to highlight one or more of the pages in the listbox and print these pages. I could do this silently using AcroExchAVDoc.PrintPages, but the user also needs to have a print dialog displayed in order to possibly select a watermark to be printed on the pages. I also need to default the orientation of the pages depending on the document.
I have reviewed the sdk documentation and also searched in Google and on this site but have not found a way to do this. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi.
I did try using the printParams feature and it worked, but since I need to be able to print sets of non-consecutive pages, I end up having to bring up the print dialogue multiple times and have the user set watermarks each time.
I decided to just create a new pdf in a temp directory containing the selected pages and open this document in a new window. This works well and allows them to use the print button on the window to print, bringing up the print dialogue just once. However, since I need to open the document in a way that shows the print button, I am using OpenInWindowEx, with AV_DOC_VIEW, and the option PDUseBookmarks or PDUseThumbs, rather than PDUseNone. This displays a toolbar which also includes icons for creating a new pdf, deleting pages, etc. I do not really want to include these icons on the toolbar. Is there a way to remove unwanted icons from the toolbar, or make them invisible?
Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your help.

How do I force the print dialog to default to Print All?

Hi all,
I've searched the forums for this and found several similar requests but no answers so I am posting this as a fresh post.
I have a requirement to have the print dialog appear when printing from javascript and have it always default to Print All. From my research, it appears that there are only two API methods to do this:
1) Print()
2) PrintWithDialog()
Neither take paramters. Both have the same description in the documentation (which seems odd in of itself).
From our research, PrintWithDialog() appears immediately when called (even if the PDF is not yet fully loaded) but always defaults to, "Print 1 of x" unless the PDF is only 1 page. In that case, it defaults to Print All.
The Print() method defaults to Print All. However, if you call it before the PDF is fully loaded, it does not show. I have searched these forums and found many other people running into this issue. One thread suggested to put in a timer to make sure the PDF is loaded and then call print. This works for small PDFs but our customers could be printing thousands of pages so there is no way to know how long to make the delay.
I tried paying for Support to answer this question and was told there were NO PAID OPTIONS for getting support on the Acrobat SDK and to come post the question here. The Support Engineer I spoke with assured me developers read and respond to these forums.
This is a critical issue for an important customer so any feedback is much appreciated.
An Adobe employee (Irosenth) mentioned something about a bug being reopened in this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2601148#2601148) but no bug number was ever given. If it truly is a bug, please provide the number, description and ETA for fix.
If there is no solution, can I get a response from Adobe that supports my research as posted above? In other words, confirm that both the API are working as expected?
Finally, given that it seems many people want this functionality, how do I submit an enhancement request?
Best Regards,
Brian

I downloaded Reader X and the problem is still occurrring, as was reported by the originator of this thread back in November.
Are there any parameters that need to be set for this to work? My customer is getting very impatient with this.
Also, since downloading Reader X the toolbar does not appear by default. It pops up when you hover over the top of the window. How do I get the toolbar to appear by default? (this is not nearly as important as defaulting the print dialog to Print All on mulitple page docs when using printwithdialog).

Printing a report and using the print dialog for it

i already have the print dialog vi from NI. I am using the normal report generation toolkit for printing reports. But I want to give the user an option to choose the number of pages and landscape/portrait options. But how do I integrate the 2 so that before printing the user can select these features.

There is an activeX control that will set these settings. It is called IAS Helper COM Component 1.0 Type Library. It operates the Windows printer configuration program. Since another company wrote the code, I do not have the resources to help you use the control, but the attached example program should get you started.

Using the print dialog box of Windows

Hallo,
how can I use the Windows printing dialog box for selecting a printer ?
(I use LabWindows 5.0.1)
Regards HGalle

Our printing functions (PrintCtrl, PrintPanel, etc.) will bring up the print dialog if you select to show it in the function call. If you weren't using our print function, you can bring up the Windows print dialog box with the Windows SDK function PrintDlg. Consult SDK documentation for help with this function.

When I use the printer icon in Firefox, it is preset to 10 copies. How can I change this to only one copy by default. Thanks for any information

When I use the printer icon, in the upper left corner, it is automatically preset to 10 copies. I only want one copy by default. I can change it to one, but when re-opened, it is back to 10.

Number of copies to be printed isn't a setting that Firefox is supposed to be saving, and I have never seen a preference for that in the hidden Firefox prefs panel - about:config.
Try the '''''reset''''' described here and reset all the prefs for that printer: <br />
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer <br />Make sure to restart Firefox before seeing if doing this '''reset''' fixed your problem.
If that did fix your problem, please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that answered or solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.
If that didn't solve your problem and it still defaults to printing 10 copies of everything thru Firefox, please open '''Help > Troubleshooting Information...''' and use the '''Copy All to Clipboard''' button and then paste that information into the '''''Post a Reply''''' box here.
It is going to be a real long list, but all I really need to see is the ''' print.''' preferences, so you could paste '''All''' that information into a text program like WordPad first, edit out the information that I don't need to see, and then '''copy''' the remaining information and '''paste''' only that information in to the '''''Reply''''' box here.
I wonder if there might be a pref that I have never seen, but I truly doubt it. That "number of copies to be printed" has never been "stuck" for me on any program in Windows, on any PC I have ever used, with any printer / print drivers.
The only time I have ever seen a "print dialog box" default to more than 1 copy was with a work application where the program being used was set to force 2 copies of some specific forms to print 2 copies all the time - one to be given to the "customer" at the end of the job for their records of the service call and one for the "employee" to get a signature upon completion of the job, to fax into the home office for job documentation as completed successfully and for payroll purposes so they would get paid for that service call.

Set Print Annotations as Default for document

I revised a form provided to us by another agency. I inserted our "letterhead" using a textbox and then created another textbox to show the form number.
I tried to use the method of saving the form document as a PostScript file so the two textboxes would print, but I lost all of the form fields. Preflight won't work; it keeps failing before it gets even 1/4 the way down the first of seven pages. I was able to set the Print dialog to default to printing the first page only, but there is no apparent way to set the dialog to default to Documents & Images as well. This seems to be a change from v7, but I could be mistaken. We use use Acrobat Professional v9. Everything displays correctly. Is there a way to print everything the screen view shows?
Thank you.

Is it possible to prevent the Print Dialog from waking printer?

Hi all,
Although I have a printer attached to my iMac, most of the time I just use the Print Dialog to 'Save as PDF' rather than to actually print. However, as soon as I hit cmd-P the printer is woken up, even though I never use it. Is there an option somewhere that will tell OSX to only wake the printer if I actually send the document to the printer?
thanks,

Hi there,
I think you could create a dummy IP printer, using Generic Postscript for the driver, and set it as your default printer. Then when you print to pdf from your app, having this dummy printer selected may stop the USB physical printer from waking.
To create the dummy, open Print & Fax and click + to add. Select IP and LPD for the protocol. Enter an IP address of 10.0.1.50, leave the queue name blank, change the Name to Dummy and select Generic Postscript in the Print Using menu. Click Add to complete the queue creation.
Now set this printer as the default and try printing. Hopefully this stops the real printer from waking.
One last note. Just remember to change the printer in the Print dialog when you do need to print on paper.

Crystal 10 RCD and Windows (Advanced) Print Dialog Box

Years ago I wrote a Crystal Viewer program and Crystal Support showed me how to change the Viewer Print Dialog box so it would use the Advanced Print Dialog (I believe it used the Windows Print Dialog). Does anyone know how to set the RDC Viewer to use a Print Dialog that allows changing the printer and not just the default Print Dialog box that only shows settings for the default windows printer? I no longer have the source code for the program I wrote before and can't remember what to set and I have now written a new Viewer that I want to include the ability to change printers.

? left out past name ability in Print dialog " save as PDF "

i , like many use the print dialog to save as PDF. In the interest of minimizing steps I would clik on a file, highlight the name, copy it with command C with my left, and hit print, command P with my right. quick track ball over to save as PDF and left hand paste in the name with command V. Now with the most advanced iteration of Mac os ican sync my pictures with everything else owned Apple but don't have the time because I can no longer do a time saving, world famous Mac originated "cut and paste" that i"ve been able to use since OS 4.3 to get done my work. What is going on ? By itself this wouldn't be such a big deal to fix, but this is just one of the truly cool tools no longer available for work. Is the mac finally the toy that Apple spent years making sure it would never become. Why not slown down and do it right and maybe not so often.

What do you mean you can't Cut and Paste, it is still the same as it has always been. Cut= cmd+x Paste= cmd+v

BUG: Printer default settings not being used when selected in Print Dialog Prompt

We have 2 styles of printers on our computers: and Epson Receipt Printer (paper size Roll Papper 80mmx257m) and a Dell printer (paper size 8.5x11)
Our issue is if use us the non-defaulted printer to print something in Internet Explorer, it overrides the default printer setting with its default settings of that non-default printer. When we try to use the default printer again, the settings will
not switch back to the appropriate settings of that default printer.
Example: (Epson selected as Default Printer in Windows 7 Professional)
I open IE and select print on a page. I select the Dell printer and hit apply to change the print settings to the default settings of that Dell. Everything prints fine. I then try that same page, but this time I select the Default Printer
(Epson) and hit "apply" in the Printer Dialog Prompt and print. The print out is of the paper size letter and not the default settings for the Epson which is Roll Paper. I look at the settings in the preferences from IE's Print Dialog
Prompt and it shows it will use the Paper Size: LT 8.5x11 in.
If I close and re-open IE and print that same page to the Epson without selecting the Dell I see that the settings are back to the defaults for the Epson and things print as they should.
Why doesn't IE use the default settings after selecting any printer and hitting apply in the print dialog prompt past the first change of printer selection?

How can i get rid of the print dialog box when using api to print an html file

i am using the systemshell.vi provided by labview the VI is working fine but it will open a dialog box for printer selection and properties. i would like to hide that dialog box and have it print to the default printer with the default properties

ShellExec is part of lvwutil and merely calls a function in Shell32.dll. There is nothing about the function call that controls the display of the printer dialog. I think that what shell32.dll does when it prints (just like right clicking on the file) is print the file according to what is defined about that file type in Windows Folder Options. On my Win2K system, the print application is defined as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\msohtmed.exe" /p %1. If I remove the /p, then Word starts up and in order to print, I get a printer dialog when choosing Print from the File menu. So it seems like the printer dialog is entirely dependant on the application that does the printing. I get no dialog when I use the VI to print a .txt file. I
nstead of using shell32, you might want to try some ActiveX method or property of an application like Internet Explorer that can open and print an html file.

Use printer other than default? how to hard code it?

Is it possible to make application to use specific printer but other than default? may be hard code it into application code?
For example I know the name of print service(the PATH to configured printer) and I want my application to use THAT printer most of the time. how can make it so that my application uses one printer which is other than default..
printDialog is not a good solutionin in my case I think because user might have 15 printers configured on his machine! and I do not want him to scroll PrintServices combobox looking for needed printer... why not show only 2 or printers out of 15?
or in my case I think it is even better to hard code couple of configured printers in an application code so that I user does not get tired of working with printDialog window every time he needs to print. When my application is released to client it will be used especially for printing porposes of one particular document so he does not need to see margins and printer settings everytime.

Basically the print dialog should offer this function without you having to code it. I don't know on Windows but on my Mac you can select printers other than default and get the computer to remember them.
