Using Qt printer to create PDFs

Hi,
Is there a way I can add Qt printer into my Cascades project to make PDFs? Or is there another way to make PDFs without using webview and having user connect to Internet?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Better to ask in the Cascades developer forum.

Word v.X no longer printing or creating PDF files (specific to one user)

As of yesterday I cannot print from Word (v.X 10.0) documents or create PDF files from Word documents.
I can print by logging out and using a test user ID.
I can print after a safe restart (which disables many functions).
I am still able to print and create PDF files from Pages, Firefox and other programs.
When attempting to create a PDF from a Word file through the Print dialog box, then saving as PDF, I can see the "magnifying glass" image for the PDF briefly on the desktop, then it disappears.
Apple Care Phone Support refuses to deal with Microsoft issues (even though it appears to be a print command failing within Mac OS steps of the process, and/or a Mac OS-generated and sorted plist file corrupting the process).
Microsoft no longer supports the software (i.e., any file you are now using ending in .doc is no longer supported).
Has anyone had a similar problem or an idea about what to do with likely culprit files?

Sounds like a M$ problem to me.
Can you save an Excel file as a PDF?
There are .plist files in user>library>preferences
that control the last used settings in apps.
Quit the office app.
Trash the com.microsoft.word.plist first.
If that doesn't work trash the com.microsoft.office.plist
PS What does yesterday have to do with PDFs not working?
Something change?

After sofware update, computer wont print or create PDFs

On Thursday the computer asked to install updates to some pieces of software, one of them being Adobe Acrobat. I installed the updates. During the installation there was some error message, but it seemed like the updates were installed fine. However, immediately following this, I find that I'm unable to print, or create PDFs (export a document to PDF format from Quark).
In Word, the error message I get when I try to print is "Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings". I went to the Print Center, and the printer is present, and selected as default.
In quark, when I try to export to a PDF the error message just reads "Unable to open Printer".
HELP! My GF is a graphic designer, she uses this printer for her work, and shes about to kill me. I dont know where to start to figure out the problem.

P-Funk, it is always good practice to Repair Permissions before and after any major upgrade or updates. From the Application/Utilities Folder open Disk Utility, select First Aid from the upper tabs and your hard drive in the upper left hand column. Now run the repair and see if it solves the issue.
If not, boot up from the install CD, once it mounts (X window) go up to the Main Menu under Installer and open Disk Utility. Select First Aid on the right tabs and your hard drive on the upper left column, now run the Repair Disk. If it does not repair run it again. Now select your start up volume in the right column and Repair Permissions. Now quit DU then go up the Main Menu under Installer to Change Startup Disk, select your startup volume and choose Restart.
If this does not solve the issue you may need to go to the Abode site and download a new copy of Acrobat Reader.

Going from virtual printer to Create PDF

I am having problems going from the virtual printer to Create PDF with my files not going through... I ahve reintalled everything and its still not working. It has worked in the past!!

Hello DrJcoaching, Are you referring to the CreatePDF Desktop Printer? What version of Windows are you running? -David

Why is PDFMaker using faux italics when creating pdf from Word?

Hi,
I have a word 2013 document using an opentype font, namely The Sans. Some of the words using that font are in italics.
If I print (Ctrl+P) the document to Adobe PDF, the pdf looks fine, and the fonts embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat are The Sans and The Sans Italic.
But if I use the PDFMaker plugin, the words in italics use some kind of faux italic, where the regular letters are just slanted. The font embedded in the PDF as reported by Acrobat is only The Sans.
I got sick of trying every possible parameter in the Word plugin, any idea of what to? Printing the document top pdf and then adding all the bookmarks by hand would be excruciatingly tedious.
I could also open the PDF in acrobat and select every occurence of an italic word, then re-set it to italic, which then uses the right italic version of the font, but come on...
Best,

Basically using the printer will always embed and use the italic font, e.g. with the standard, press or high quality print settings. Even though there is a checkbox ticked by default named "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document font", the result does not seem to change if this box is ticked or not.
If I use PDFMaker, no matter what settings I use I end up with the regular font being simply slanted. I even tried setting compatibility with Acrobat 1.7 and checking "Embed Opentype fonts".

Using Flash/Actionscript to create PDF Portfolio Navigator

Hi Guys
We've been using Acrobat Pro Extended to create PDF
Portfolio's for a wee while now, and now in order to create a
'fresh look', my boss is wanting to create custom navigators.
As the programmer of the team, I've looked into it and found
out that it involves Actionscripting/Flex. While I'm a decent
enough programmer, Actionscript isnt something I've used before, so
I was wondering if there were any online guides or books I could
buy that
specifically show how to create a customer navigator for a pdf
portfolio.
Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

I also have the same goal except I am not even a decent
programmer. I am actively looking for a place to download the
working Carosel that is kind of advertised as a capability of
Acrobat. Even if someone was selling it...I just wanted to chime in
for support on the topic.

Using Automator to Batch Create PDFs

I've been trying to find a way to make an Automator workflow that will take the name of a folder and combine it's files into a PDF with as little manual input as possible and have finally figured out how to do so. I've seen others ask how to do this for a while so I wanted to share how I did it.
Why would you want to create PDFs? If you have scanned books, photos, documents or anything else on your Mac, you can create PDFs out of them. You can then store these in iTunes and either read them using Preview on your Mac or iBooks on your iOS device.
What this workflow will do:
Take a folder with images, get the folder's name, and create a PDF of the images with it's name.
On the next pass of the workflow, it will send the previous folder to the trash.
Create/have a backup of your files!
Create a folder somewhere that you can drop your folders in. Name it Automator Dropbox. You can create one wherever you want, but this workflow was created with Automator Dropbox in mind so you'll need to change it as necessary.
Open Automator and create a new workflow.
Find Finder Items
- Search Automator Dropbox
- [All] of the following are true:
- [Label] is [Red]
This will search for any folders that were done before.
Move Finder Items to Trash
This will move the previous folder/files to the trash.
Ask for Finder Items
- Prompt: [Choose a Folder]
- Start at: Automator Dropbox
- Type: [Folders]
This will ask you to choose the next item to convert to PDF.
Set Value of Variable
- Variable: pdfvariable
This will take the name of the folder you just selected and use it to to rename your PDF.
Label Finder Items
- [Red]
This will mark the folder you're working on for deletion the next time the workflow is ran.
Get Folder Contents
This will grab all the image files within the folder so that it can create a PDF out of them.
Scale Images
- To size (pixels): 1600
This will scale the maximum dimension of your image down (or up) to 1600px. I find this to be the sweet spot for performance on the iPad 3, and it looks just fine. If the maximum dimension of your image is lower than 1600px, I'd create a duplicate workflow of this and leave out this step; otherwise you will be upscaling and your image won't look as good. You can also leave this step out if you want your original image size kept, but on the iPad 3 and below there will be a delay going from page to page.
New PDF From Images
- Save Output to: [Desktop]
- Output File Name: tempname
This will save your finalized PDF to the Desktop. You can change this to whatever you want; I would suggest the Automatically Add to iTunes folder located in [Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Automatically Add to iTunes]. You will find your PDF in the Books category in iTunes.
Rename Finder Items
- [Replace Text]
- Find: tempname in [Full Name]. Ignore Case checked.
- Replace: [pdfvariable] (Drag pdfvariable from the variables window into the text field for "Replace". If you don't see the variables, go to "View > Variables."
You can't just drag the variable into the PDF name field in the step above, so this extra step is necessary. It will rename your PDF with the name of the folder it was created from. It will also add the full file path, which will be taken care of in the next step.
Rename Finder Items
- [Replace Text]
- Find: Users/yourname/Documents/Automator Dropbox in [Full Name]. Ignore Case checked.
- Replace: LEAVE EMPTY
This will delete the name of the path from the name of your PDF. If your working folder is not Documents/Automator Dropbox, change it to whatever that is.
If you're running this workflow on a bunch of folders, you can simply keep your cursor over the workflow's play button and press the right arrow + enter to select the next item in queue. This workflow was made for using a little human interaction as possible, so if anyone has suggestions on how to improve on it please post below.
One last thing - if you're seeing a red folder when you run the workflow to choose a folder, it's because spotlight hasn't indexed it yet and the workflow could not find it to delete it. Just go on to the next item.

Someone (not me) has created an automator workflow that does this, using a shell script that runs the "pstopdf" unix command. I just downloaded it and tested it on 10 .eps files. You will need to edit the first automator action in the workflow to find the eps files you want (by default it looks for all eps files on your computer), but once you do that, it works like a charm! Converted my eps files to pdf's. Of course, once they are pdf files, you can use automator to convert them to whatever format you want.

When selecting Adobe Printer to create pdf of anything, it never does so but there is no error???

I try to create a pdf of a webpage, Quickbooks page, or anything...but when selecting the Adobe Printer to print it brings up the screen to name the pdf and then would typically save the file (create a pdf) on your pc. However, it disappears but never actually creates the pdf. Why would this be???

How do I get AcroTray or is it part of Acrobat Standard?

Error using MIF doclet to create PDFs

I have been attempting to use the dzbatcher program with framemaker and the java MIF doclet. Unfortunately, there is an error that will not allow the MIF doc to be saved as a pdf, the MIF files are created correctly.
Executing: dzbatcher -makername framemaker C:\JavaCode\VSan2.0\vsan\doc\customer\mif\mif-to-fm.batch...
starting maker ...
Waiting for Frame results... done.
Waiting for Frame results...
Frame reports error -42:
Cannot save file [C:\JavaCode\VSan2.0\vsan\doc\customer\fm\api.book.pdf]I have FrameMaker 5.5 and Acrobat Distiller and Exchange 3.1.
Any help would be deeply appreciated.
-Dustin

I've never encountered error -42. I've been bugging Adobe
for a list of descriptions for their numbered error message
to no avail.
The way to troubleshoot the batch file is to execute
the dzbatcher command with the -v (verbose) option
on the mif-to-fm.batch file:
dzbatcher -v C:\java\pubs\docs\mif\mif-to-fm.batch
This should echo every statement, so you can see where the
problem is occurring.
You might contact us for possible access to an early
release of the next version, which has some fixes in this
area. Write doccheck-feedback at java.sun.com.
If those ideas don't work, you could also follow EJP's advice,
or you could try sending email to dzbatcher at datazone.com.
They wrote dzbatcher and are pretty responsive.
We've had pretty good luck using dzbatcher with the default
template of the MIF Doclet.
Please let us know how you get it to succeed in case I can
pass along the pointer to others.

Can't print or create PDF's after resetting MacBook Pro

Hey there,
Some weeks ago I had a critical HD error and was forced to reset my complete system. I swiped the disk, reinstalled the OS and copied all documents and important settings (library files) back to the newly installed disk. All worked fine, apart from one single but quite important option: printing.
I for example could not export to PDF out of iwork applications (printing error), or use the save PDF-function, nor could I add printers (such as the network printer, HP Color LaserJet 2600n, +conflicting attributes+ whereas others just didn't appear in the +add printer+ list).
I tried resolving the matter and therefore repaired all permissions, installed new drivers, deleted the printing preferences etc etc,... but still didn't resolve this critical problem. I thought about performing a +restore install+ or +archive and install+ but wanted to check for other options first.
Anybody any solutions?
Or help, guidelines for minimising the re-setup?
Thanks in Advance,

You are a gem now I can read my PDF's would have never picked that one :o)

How do I use auto-form recognition to create PDF forms in Acrobat XI?

I used to use Acrobat 9 to create PDF forms that would allow me to fill in text into the fields that were created. Acrobat XI seems to have changed the way this function is performed. Previously, I could run an auto form recognition wizard, do some minor tweaking, and be done. Now, when I attempt to follow the process in Acrobat XI, I get the following message that pops up: "No new form field annotations were detected.", and no fields get created. I could do this manually, but the process of doing so is very clunky and cumbersome. Once I create a new text field, I must then go back and resize it. This would not be a problem if I was only working with a few fields on a single page, but I have a six page document with multiple fields to create (text fields, check box fields, etc.). Perhaps I'm missing something, but there seems to be no simple way to do this anymore. It's making me want to just install Acrobat 9, so that I will have back the feature that I used to have. I'm using Acrobat XI on Mac, but I'm assuming the function should be the same in Windows. I can use Preview on the Mac to simply type in the text that I need, but I was hoping to pass along the PDF so that others can use it as well. This is not just a one time thing.

There are no APIs for C# and external applications for this conversion. There is however an API for Acrobat plugins to perform this operation. So, if necessary, you could write a custom plugin (that calls the API you need) and expose that via some form of IPC to your C# app.

Can't create PDF in Acrobat 7.0 Prof.

Since loading my CS2 programs on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer, all of the programs work except Acrobat. When I try to create a PDF from MS Word, I get error messages saying that the PDF printer driver is missing and asks me to reinstall the program..I've done that, but it still gives me the same message. If I try creating it in Acrobat, I get a message that it cannot find the Adobe PDF resource files and asks if I would like to run it in repair mode. I've tried that, but I still get the same error messages. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Denise Wurm

Acrobat 7 just isn't compatible in the Windows 7 64-bit environment.
An excerpt from a KB article from the days of XP x64.
[ http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/331/331732.html ]
Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Setup was unable to create a new item: Adobe PDF Port Printer," when you install Acrobat 7.0 or Acrobat 3D. The Adobe PDF Printer will not be created. Therefore you will be unable to print to the Adobe PDF Printer to create PDF files. Additionally, other PDF creation paths that use the Adobe PDF Printer will fail; this includes the PDFMaker functions in MS Office applications and AutoCAD and the Create PDF From Multiple Files option in the Acrobat file menu.
To create PDF files, create PostScript files and open them in Acrobat Distiller 7.0 to convert them to PDF. For instructions on creating PostScript files for use with Distiller, see document , "Install the AdobePS printer driver to create PostScript and printer files in Windows applications."

Can't create PDF, Acrobat not activated

I recently needed to move my system over from XP to Vista since programs were unresponsive due to virus infection. Re-installed CS3 Design Premium which comes with Acrobat 8 Professional.
Had no problem previously creating PDFs, but now sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. When attempting to print from a report obtained from www.intellicorp.net (background check) I get an error message that says the software has not been activated, but it has been. I can print to Adobe from my Windows Calendar.
Tech Support's solution is to deactivate the suite, remove the programs, install Acrobat 8 then install the other components of CS3.
Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling.
Thanks,
Anna
