W, g, z printing strangely in pdf
I am exporting my file to a pdf. On screen, everything looks great. However, when I print the pdf, I have troubles.
The myriad pro regular font is printing the w, g, and L characters oddly. The w takes up half the vertical space it should, the g rests on the line and the L also is taking up half of its normal vertical space.
I have no idea why this is happening. I am working on the file in conjunction with someone else, but we are both saving it as an indd file.
If I print from within InDesign, it prints fine. I thought maybe it had something to do with the kerning which was set to metric. I set it to optical, exported to pdf and the entire thing printed disastrously, (all the letters looked bizarre.) I set kerning to none, exported to pdf and printed and I was back to just the w, g, and L characters looking odd.
Ideas?
Fonts are automagically embedded in PDFs (unless the fonts (like free fonts) don't allow it, it's a specification of the font software).
It could be this little dousy -http://indesignsecrets.com/mac-os-x-10-6-7-update-causes-font-problems%E2%80%94but-probabl y-not-in-indesign.php

When i print a pdf from preview it prints strange characters - it looks fine on screen

You can also try opening the PDF with preview, then doing a copy and paste to TextEdit and printing from there.
Adobe makes it easier, but you do have software to accomplish this.
Only download Adobe reader from this site, to avoid "fakes/spoofs/malware" that will cause damage to your machine.

Strange artifact in Illustrator PDF, only when printing via Adobe PDF printer
Hello,
I've run into a strange issue with an artifact in a PDF generated by Illustrator using the Adobe PDF printer. When I "Save As" a PDF, this artifact does not show. Using the same job options, printing via Adobe PDF creates this artifact. The object is behind the content and it's a semi-transparent box that was manipulated using Free Distort. It's behind everything so shouldn't even show up, but the outline is showing up for some reason. In the past I've had similar issues with artifacts and I changed my Adobe Compatibility to the latest version, and it fixed the issue, but that didn't work this time. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks,I had to zoom in to see the faint lines you are talking about and they are there. As a test, try printing to the Adobe PDF printer.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 Printing Strange Characters
I currently use Acrobat Pro 9.4.6 and when printing to a PDF file it prints strange characters...not at all what I want to be printed. I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium. Have others experienced this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
JimThanks for taking the time to reply. It's interesting that this problem only manifests itself in certain applications. A friend installed a program called CuteWriterPDF and the applications that I was having difficulty with writing PDF files are taken care of perfectly with this small program. It was just an experiment but it worked. This is not a perfect fix as I would prefer a solution from Adobe but at least I'm back up and running.
Thanks much for taking the time to reply! -
Hi,
I'm trying to use the print agent.
I use the following:
c:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Bin\jfmerge MODEL1 C:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_xml.tmp -axmlstrict -l -allc:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\Logs\TRNQ20090202.log -amq0 -m -zC:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_pdf.tmp -advTransCount=0 -aprC:\DOCUME~1\D002404\ASPNET\DEFINI~1\Temp\200902021549206095_pag.tmp -afpc:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\Forms\ -aiic:\Programas\Adobe\Central\Server\jfmerge.ini
The PDF is generated but the result is no good, i.e., I can open the pdf and see it normally, but if I try to print it using PDF Creator it gives an error. The final objective is to convert this pdf to FAX, with RightFax Conversor, which also gives an error.
I have also noticed that in the file properties (using ALt+Enter in the pdf selected file), in the PDF tab it doesn´t show the info - no Created date, no PDF Producer and the PDF version is 0.0.
This is very strange because if I do manually place the xml in data folder the pdf is generated correctly by Adobe Central. I have copied all the parameters from Central. It seems that I cannot create a good pdf calling directly the print agent :(
Does anyone have an ideia what I'm doing wrong?
Regards, Ariel.I don't know what you may be doing "wrong" but we also experienced problems printing PDFs created by version 5.6 of the software. Our solution was to copy the version 5.5 of the print agent to the server and use it for creating PDF files.

How Come I Can't Print as a pdf?
Hi,
I'm a relative newbie. I want to create a pdf from a web page but when I choose Print as a pdf from the File menu, it only gives me the option of saving the PDF as a PostScript. I want to save it as a PDF. I don't usually have problems doing this. What is going on? Can anyone help?Hi,
I am working in Safari and doing just that. From the File menu, I choose Print, then PDF, then I usually have the option of Save as PDF but for some strange reason, it is no longer option but rather only Save as PDF PostScript. How come? -
Acrobat X Prints Strange Characters
In the last week or so I have had two separate instances of folks having trouble printing large documents from Adobe Reader X. Both were printing to HP Printers, one an officejet connected via USB and another a networked LaserJet. The first few pages of the document would print fine but then the rest of the document prints strange characters. A second attempt to print the document generally succeeds, leading us to believe that it may just take some time for the program to "fill out" the file or something. Has anyone else experienced problems like this with Acrobat recently?
Yes I have a computer in our office that is pluged into a HP Laserjet 2015 and it is doing the same thing when printing from pdf's. After some testing I have gotten it to repete the messed up/strange characters. It seems that it will mess up everytime you print and then close out of the file, even tho it has spooled the print, and the printer is not finished printing. But if you leave the file open for the duration of the print, even tho it is spooled, it will print fine without messing up. Still looking into why this is doing this, it does not matter what PCL printer driver that I have tried for it... I have not tried using a PS driver yet.

27" iMac (2012), OS X 10.9.1, Canon MF4770n laser connected by ethernet cable through AirPort Extreme, HP C4200 connected directly via USB
The Problem: I received a .pdf file via e-mail and downloaded it. It consisted of a series of forms in unknown original format. I needed to print them out, sign them and return them. I opened .pdf in Preview but when I tried to print it, I got only blank pages from the printer. The printer seemed to be operating normally in all other respects.
What I have tried:
1. Successfulloy printed material from other applications using the same computer and Canon printer.
2. Successfully printed a different .pdf file from Preview using the same computer and Canon printer.
3. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Preview on the same computer and the HP ink jet printer.
4. Successfully printed the offending .pdf from Adobe Reader using the same computer and Canon printer.
Since I was able to print the .pdf using Adobe Reader, this problem is not critical but it is rather mysterious. Any suggestions would be appeciated.Using ASK.Com - my favorite web browser - does not require you to download anything to use it just enter the url -
I entered the following:
Why is my HP laser printer printing slow
Below is just one of the documents - this one is HP support.

*just a heads up - whenever you have problems with a printer
1. stop the print queue on your system
2. shut the printer power off for about a minute to clear any printer memory
3. turn on the printer
4. start the print queue
*also - using ASK.com have also found answers on this site without the struggle of going through searching this site. -
Is there any way to disable the popup message I get when I print to a PDF?
When I print to a pdf by selecting the Adobe PDF Converter as my printer, I always get a popup in my tray "Your PDF file 'document name' has been created".
This is annoying when I printing a bunch of different documents at a time. I know the PDF has been created because it opens up, so why the popup?
HOW DO I DISABLE THIS POPUP???
Help!!If you're talking about the balloon tip that appears in the tray area, I don't know of a way to disable it for just Acrobat, but you can for all programs by modifying the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307729

Unable to Generate Printed Documentation in PDF Format
This past week I started having a consistent error when attempting to generate a Printed Documentation layout. This error reads "Internal error encountered, Failed to generate Printed Documentation." Prior Printed Documentation builds on this same project completed fine. Nothing was done to the Help project between the times when this worked and when it no longer was able to create Printed Documentation.
I receive this error even if I generate an entirely new "blank project" build, and then attempt to create a Printed Documentation build from this new blank project. Researching this error, I see this has been a reoccuring problem with this product for some time. The few threads that list the problem as having been "fixed" provide resolution steps that have not worked in my case. Right now I am waiting for our IT Helpdesk people to re-install the Suite. Hopefully this will resolve this problem.
Additional information on this problem - PDF Printed Documentation is failing - the HTML build works fine. If I select just a .DOC Printed Documentation output, this also works correctly. The resulting Word document looks good, although hyperlinks do not work within this Word document. I have reloaded Office 2003 as a troubleshooting effort, but this has nbot resulted in any change in symptoms.
The entire error text is enclosed below, although several other people have also done this in past entries. The few lines that read "Warning, and then report a style issue is NOT the problem here. As stated earlier, when I do this same Printed Documentation build on an entirely new "blank project" it does not work, and the Output text in that case does not contain any such "Warnings" about Styles.

I am pretty sure nobody will have any fix suggestions that work to solve this problem, but I am making this entry for historical purposes. I will add an entry stating whether the Suite reload resolves this issue.
Thanks,
Tim C @ HarrisIf I select ONLY the Word DOC Output format in the Printed Documentation
setup, the output is created without an error (output text below). Links do work within
this Word document (a symptom change since installing patch 8.0.2).
When I use this Word document to create a PDF (using the Adobe PDF
printer driver) a PDF is successfully created, however no bookmarks are
created in the bookmarks panel and none of the links in this PDF work
(although they are created looking like they will work, i.e., blue
underlined text).
Regards,
Tim

Excel sheets with defined print areas to pdf
Hello
I am trying to convert an Excel file with multiple sheets and defined print areas to pdf using Automator. The problem is that the action "Convert Format of Excel Files" prints everything on all sheets (even information outside the defined print areas).
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!Post what you would like to do in Excel here

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?
You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

How to save print setup for pdf file so that every user can open and print w/o manually performing?
Can is there a way to configure the print settings (i.e. paper size, orientation, etc.) and save this setting as part of the pdf file? I would like the users of pdf files to be able to open the file and simply print, without having to manually configure the print settings.
Not sure if this will help. I got this information from the built-in help under Acrobat 9.
Advanced
Lists PDF settings, print dialog presets, and reading options for the document.In the PDF settings for Acrobat, you can set a base Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for web links in the document. Specifying a base URL makes it easy for you to manage web links to other websites. If the URL to the other site changes, you can simply edit the base URL and not have to edit each individual web link that refers to that site. The base URL is not used if a link contains a complete URL address.
You can also associate a catalog index file (PDX) with the PDF. When the PDF is searched with the Search PDF window, all of the PDFs that are indexed by the specified PDX file are also searched.
You can include prepress information, such as trapping, for the document. You can define print presets for a document, which prepopulate the Print dialog box with document-specific values. You can also set reading options that determine how the PDF is read by a screen reader or other assistive device.
Create print presets
A PDF can contain a set of print presets, a group of document-specific values that is used to set basic print options. By creating a print preset for a document, you can avoid manually setting certain options in the Print dialog box each time you print the document. It’s best to define print settings for a PDF at the time that you create it, but print presets provide a means to add basic print settings to a PDF at any time.
Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab.
In the Print Dialog Presets section, set options and click OK.
The next time you open the Print dialog box, the values will be set to the print preset values. These settings are also used when you print individual documents in a PDF Portfolio.
Note: To retain a print preset for a PDF, you must save the PDF after creating the print preset.
Print Dialog Presets
Page Scaling
Prepopulates the Page Scaling option in the Print dialog box with the option you choose:
Default
Uses the application default setting, which is Shrink To Printable Area.
None
Prevents automatic scaling to fit the printable area. This setting is useful for preserving the scale of page content in engineering documents, or for ensuring that documents print at a particular point size to be legal.
DuplexMode
For best results, the selected printer should support duplex printing if you select a duplex option.
Simplex
Prints on one side of the paper.
Duplex Flip Long Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the long edge.
Duplex Flip Short Edge
Prints on both sides of the paper; the paper flips along the short edge.
Paper Source By Page Size
Selects the option by the same name in the Print dialog box. Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than the page setup option. This option is useful for printing PDFs that contain multiple page sizes on printers that have different-sized output trays.
Print Page Range
Prepopulates the Pages box in the Print Range section of the Print dialog box with the page ranges you enter here. This setting is useful in a workflow where documents include both instruction pages and legal pages. For example, if pages 1–2 represent instructions for filling out a form, and pages 3–5 represent the form, you can set up your print job to print multiple copies of only the form.
Number Of Copies
Prepopulates the Copies box in the Print dialog box. Choose a number from 2 to 5, or choose Default to use the application default, which is one copy. This limitation prevents multiple unwanted copies from being printed.
Thanks. -
"Text on a path" and "paths" rasterised when printed from a PDF on an iGen
I have just obtained from the printer the first proof of my book (printed on an iGen) and I'd like to find out where one of the problems lie. I'll ask the printer his opinion before second proof, but I don't like to annoy him unnecessarily.
One of the chapters in the book has a lot of maps. I drew rivers by stroking a path, and named the rivers using 'Text on a Path' so that the text follows the curve of the river. Some of the maps have a pale background image on a different layer. And this is where the problem seems to lie.
1. Rivers (and their names) appear normal on a map WITHOUT a background. By 'normal' I mean they look sharp. When magnified they seem to have been drawn as vectors.
2. On maps WITH a background layer, 'Text on a path' appears very chunky (as if it has been rasterised at about 300 dpi) and paths (the rivers) appear to have the jaggies. Horizontal text does not appear to be affected.
I can't be certain that (1) and (2) exactly define the problem, but it's as close as I can get at the moment.
When I opened the original PDF file from which the book was printed, no matter how much I enlarge it, all paths and 'type on a path' retain their smoothness. i.e they are obviously vectors. However, I noticed when I opened the PDF in Acrobat 7 and tried to edit the 'text on a path', the PDF went haywire: the text I tried to edit disappeared, and other text frames on the page were shifted around.
A sample PDF (6.7 MB, including an original two-page spread, and a scanned copy of the iGen print of the same), can be downloaded from:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oe4omuzoqzz
Two questions:
Q1: On the maps with a background image, is the rasterising of stroked paths, and 'text on a path' due to the iGen mishandling the file? Or might there be another explanation?
Q2: Re Acrobat 7 mishandling my 'text on a path': is this a bug that has been fixed in later versions of Acrobat?
To reproduce this bug do this: Open the PDF described above, and within Acrobat 7 select Tools > Advanced Editing > Touchup Text Tool. Then click inside the name "Georgina River", backspace to try and delete a letter, and the PDF should go haywire.Sandee: Almost certainly below the text, but I'd have to check them all.
But before I do that, we'll have to go back a step. I can almost handle layers in InDesign, but didn't know they existed in PDFs. The printer printed from the PDF and as far as I can tell after a brief visit to HELP, there aren't any layers in the PDF. When I go to View > Navigation Tabs > Layers and click on the Layer Tab when it appears, there's nothing there; and all the items under Options are grayed.
Q1: Why do I need a layer in a PDF? By not having layers, can that cause problems?
Q2: Re Robert's suggestions: what do you mean by "move all the text to a top layer"? Within InDesign before I export to PDF?
Q3: Is printing more foolproof when I export to PDF, if all my text is on the one layer in InDesign and that layer is above any images? There are several hundred river names, place names etc, sitting on lower layers, but if need be I'll move them all. -
Since upgrading to v 4.01 I am unable to print from a .pdf opened in the browser. How can I fix this?
I can save the page, open in Adobe Reader and print. When in the browser the File - Print command does nothing. Printer screen does not open.
