What You see is not what you get when printing a adobe PDF file

Hi, we use adobe pdf files to send printing of maps to different customers. Quite often a pdf file looks Ok on the screen but printed on paper some lines is crossing the paper which should not be there.
It is easy to reproduce and seems to happen on different computers. Most of them use windows7. If we use another program than adobe for displaying and printing the same file the print is correct.
Is this a bug in print driver or in the Adobe reader which produce the data for the print driver. Most files is created by a thin print solution called UNIPRINT.

The text spacing also frustrates me, but I'm afraid is a drawback of the iWeb system. I always have to go back and re-tweak certain paragraphs that I try to squeeze into a smaller space. I've learned that it's best to allow for a little breathing room with the width and height of the text field. If the text field is exactly the width and height of your paragraph in iWeb, chances are the lines are going to bump down just a hair, creating an extra line of text which will decrease your line spacing if the height is also tight. Does that make sense?
As far as the hyperlinks go, I used to get freaked out because what I thought was the wrong formatting, but what I found out was just the formatting for having visited the linked site.
What iWeb does for those of us who don't know or don't care to mess with html code is an extremely complex process that I can't even begin to understand. And on top of that you add the relative unpredictability of the various browsers and systems that are out there. You have to roll with the punches and figure out these little discrepancies to get the finished product you want.
Good luck!

LR4.2 printing multiple cell with overlap - What you see IS NOT what you get ?

Hi,
I am using LR4.2 and PS-elements. Epson 3800 for printing
PS - never an isue.
user is admin ..
I get a strange phenomena in LR4.2 when doing multiple cells on same print - with overlapping: At time what you see is not what's going to be printed! at times you will get the printout with some of the cells mising photos (even printing them to file will result in the same way..). Post the printing (ouch wasting of paper...) if I select the cell, I can "send it to the front, ad now it will be printed ok/.
Please advice - did you see this before >?
Ami

I have never tried printing overlapping photos. Can you describe how to a simple photo layout that demonstrates the problem so others can try? Or at least include a screen-capture of the layout that is showing the issue. It may have something to do with your particular printer driver even if you print to a JPG, but if others, with other printers have the same issue, then it is likely something within LR, only.

Issue with HelveticaNeue text not being included when printing to Adobe PDF?

I have a document (Word 2010 docx) with a section of HelveticaNeue text on the front page that when printing through Adobe PDF the text does not appear.
Using Acrobat 9.4.6
Tried the same document with:
Win2Pdf - Displays correctly
Converted to .doc - Displays correctly
File\Save as PDF - Dispalys correctly
Any ideas? I can post the document up here but I can't see an option to.

You can try disabling the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts” option in printer properties.
To do the same.In MS Word:
Goto File -> Print
Select Adobe PDF as printer.
Click on "Printer Properties".
Go to "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
Uncheck the “Rely on system fonts only: do not use document fonts”
Click Ok and try printing the document
Also update your Acrobat to latest version 9.5.0.
You can download the patch form: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5330

Can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP8600

I get two-sided option for normal printing, but
I can't get duplex print option for pdf files using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.04, Mac 10.8.5 with HP Officejet Pro 8600. HP says it's an Adobe problem. I'm stuck.
Thanks in advance.

It depends where the pdf is located. If in the Finder or in an attachment to
an email in Entourage, the message is ³You can¹t open the application
³Acrobat Reader 5.0² because PowerPC applications are no longer supported².
If an attachment in an email that has come via Safari, the message is
³Safari can¹t open the file because no available applications can open it².
In each case the menu bar is Finder or Entourage or Safari as the case may
be.

When printing to Adobe PDF from Microsoft Publisher, the text on page 2 is not 100% black

Hi there
I'm using Microsoft Publisher 2013 to print to an Adobe PDF file (I have a trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.)
I sent the PDF to my printing house but they can't print it because the text on page 2 is not 100% black. In Publisher, the text colour on both pages is CMYK 0/0/0/100.
I created a test file in which I copied the text from page 1 onto page 2 so both pages are identical. However, the PDF created from that file, when I click Print Production, Output Preview and de-select Process Black, all the text on page 1 disappears (as expected) but none of the text on page 2 disappears! It seems that Publisher and/or Acrobat is printing the text on page 1 correctly but not page 2. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong?
Here's a link to the two files: Dropbox - ShareAdobeComm
Would much appreciate some help if anybody can please point me in the right direction. Thank you.
(I'm seriously evaluating upgrading from my current 3rd party PDF writer to Adobe.)

Do not use the PDF Maker, but print to the Adobe PDF printer and see if that meets you need. If you need some of the tools of PDF Maker, then turn on only those you need, not them all. Check to be sure that the graphics are indeed being downsampled and possibly go back and reduce the graphics you have in the WORD file so that you are at least not using millions of colors, 256 max. Also consider using straight B&W if color is not needed, or at least gray-scale.

Smartforms - What you see is not what you get ?

I create a delivery note by smartforms.
Print Preview in the PC, the position of data is correct.
But printed on the paper, what you see in the PC is not what you get? The page format is custom, not standard.
Is there somebody know reason?
Thanks!!

I all really depends on the printer, the print drivers, and how the printer is setup on the basis side.
I have seen the same thing when printing one layout from two different printers. They didn't look the same.

IWeb 09 - what you see is NOT what you get

I upgraded from iWeb 08 to iWeb 09. In a nutshell: oops.
I altered one page of my website (the text inside of the text boxes and the colored boxes that I had layered beneath the text boxes) and uploaded it. What looked perfectly good in iWeb was completely out of whack once I uploaded it. New text that I had typed in was showing up as double spaced rather than single spaced. The text boxes were longer or wider than they should be - or the colored boxes were longer or shorter, however we want to look at it.
The text in separate text boxes that I had lined up so it appeared as though they were in columns were totally out of whack. To top it all off, once I got it right on my Mac I had to keep running back and forth across the street to check it on a PC because it showed up differently on IE.
Is this a known bug of iWeb 09? I was gobsmacked. . .it's not like some new and slightly buggy functionality was added - we're talking basic WYSIWYG functions. If it's a bug, is there a fix for it?
If there's no fix then I want to go back to iWeb 08 until 09 becomes usable - there's no way I'm going to go through all of this every time I update the site, which is several times per week.
aaauuugggghhh!
Suggestions?
Thanks,
roxpat

Well, this may be a silly suggestion, but have you tried holding "shift" while you refresh the page? I've only had my pages show up wacky just a few times (including unpublished pages sitting on my desktop), and that always works for me.

CR for VS2010 - font when printing (what you see is not what you get)

If anyone can help resolve this issue, I would be very grateful!
We use VS 2010 with the production Crystal Reports for VS 2010. I deployed a web site to production on a Win 2008 r2 server with IIS 7.
When the user runs a report (we have it set to be pdf), the font used by the report displays properly. When printing, it prints with a different font. The correct font is Old English. I believe it is printing in arial.
I installed the font on the server. I gave rights to the fonts directory for the web site. I ran the redistributable. I'm not sure what else to try.

Yes, I do mean client-side.
Also, the crystal report viewer control print mode set to pdf instead of Active X.
We had issues with users being able to install the Active X viewer.
The font has been installed on the client.
When you stated "Print Control is via binary page descriptors, where the font composition is turned to printable images on the client-side" --- Does that mean that certain fonts or even font types may not work?
Thank you for your help.

What I see is not what prints!!!

I use PSE4. I have a Samsung Syncmaster 181T (LCD). I did something to my system(inadvertantly) such that I cannot get photo prints that match what I see. I read on the web that Adobe gamma does not work well for LCD monitors so I tried to use my Samsung Natural Color system to get things back in snyc. It is supposed to sync both calibrate both monitor and printer. BUT it does not work. My prints are always lighter than the screen shows. I looked in C:\program files\common files\adobe\color\profiles\recommended\ and there are a lot of *.icc and a couple of *.icm files. What should I be using to get back in sync between my monitor and my HP Photosmart 7960? I set PSE to use AdobeRGB 98 and the printer to use "AdobeRGB" After wasteing a lot of good photo paper I am at my wits end. HELP!!!

You will be better off not having both Elements and the printer mangaging
the color. Start out with Limited Color Management (Always Optimize Colors
For Computer Screens), which uses sRGB and then set the Print Space (Printer
Profile) to Printer Color Management. This should give you acceptable
results if the monitor is calibrated. Adobe Gamma does work to some extent
on LCDs, which you can try if the calibration is completely out of sink.
Here is an article explaining printing with color management in full
Photoshop, but it applies also to Elements:

Get "client-error-not-possible" when printing to Adobe pdf 8.0

Problem suddenly appeared in Adobe pdf 7.0 when I upgraded to the MacBook Pro from an older ibook. I thought that there was a compatibility problem with 10.5. However, now I have done a new install of Adobe Acrobat Pro 8.0 and the problem still exists.
The "printer" seems to add normally, but as soon as I print, the printer stops. If I resume it and the job in the queue, the error message appears.
There must be some setting that I'm missing.

Hello lisagig and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would be inclined to run a repair disk permissions first and if that doesn't help then I would reset your printing system. Note that this will remove all of your current printer queues so if you have a number of network printers in the list it would be handy to make a note of their network queue, which you will see via the Print & Fax > Options & Supplies > General pane shown as URL.
To add the PDF printer queue back, you will need to make the Advanced icon appear in the Add Printer pane. To do this, open Print & Fax and click to Add a printer. Control Click on the current toolbar (next to More Printers will be fine) and select Customize Toolbar. Drag the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Now click the Advanced icon. After a few seconds this pane will become active so you can select the Adobe PDF 8.0 (pdf) in the Type column. Every other column will autofill so leave them as they are except for the Print Using menu, where you will have to open, click 'Select a driver to use' and then type Adobe in the search window. This should show the 'Adobe PDF 3016.102'. Select this and click Add to complete. Now try printing with this new Adobe printer to see if the error has stopped.

How to get pics off of adobe .pdf file for emailing.(mac computer)

What happened: I got copy place to scan 8.5x11 pages that had 2-3pics on each. They scanned in as .pdf file which I open with Adobe reader and see 8 pages of several pics on each page. I'd like to be able to drag or copy off pics from these pages so I can email to others, but I cannot find out how to do this. I saw under the readers TOOLS the submenu of "select and zoom" and submenu "snapshot tools" and tried that and it shows "the selected area has been copied", then what do I do? I try going into email program (mac computer and using Thunderbird email) and the "paste" is greyed out. I try opeining iPhoto and same greyed out PASTE option. WHEre can I paste it to after using that? It won't go to desktop either. Is there any other Adobe program that will make this work on a Mac computer? Thanks ahead for ALL help!
Adobe Reader vs 9.1.2
Mac OS 10.4.11
Thunderbird email vs 2.0.0.21

Yes. Positive.

Adobe supports Macs for 99% of their applications. I'm not sure where you found that information.
Photoshop isn't an inexpensive application so you may look in to buying the less expensive version of Photoshop Elements.

Merge to HDR Pro: What you see is not what you get?

I am using PSCC on an iMac (Mavericks). When I bring bracketed shots into PSCC's Merge to HDR Pro, I can work the settings and/or presets to get an image that looks OK. However, when I exit from HDR Pro by clicking OK, the image displayed in PSCC is very different from what I was just looking at in HDR Pro. The screenshots here show just one example, working in 16-bit mode. Other images show even greater differences. Working in 32-bit mode makes it even worse. This did not use to happen in my earlier versions of PS (perpetual license). Am I missing something or doing something wrong?

Trevor.Dennis wrote:
Yes I realised that. There are now quite a few applications for processing HDR, and IMO Photomatix has always been the best of them, and certainly did a better job than Photoshop. My point was that the old 'Merge to HDR Pro' workflow is now redundant if you have Photoshop CC, and that using Camera RAW as outlined by Julianne Kost, has suddenly leapfrogged all the competition by an order of magnitude.
So I strongly urge you to take Mr Prengel's advice. Output the image in 32bit, and use ACR to process it. Did you watch the video tutorial I linked to?
You certainly shouldn't get all pixel-peeper about how the 32bit image looks on your screen. It is not possible to show the tonal width of a 32 bit image on a computer screen, so you are seeing a 'representation' of how it might look after processing.
FWIIW I have taught HDR (and Photoshop) to some of the best photographers in the world at two PSNZ National Conventions back in 2010 and 2011, so I kind of have strong opinions about it. Not that I use it excessively, but it is a very handy tool to keep in your photographic skills repertoire.
Trevor,
I am sorry if I misunderstood your post. I am actually using the same workflow as Julianne Kost in her video (which I had watched prior to posting here). And, as I posted above, I do agree with Mr. Prengel that I should just take the 32 bit image into Camera Raw and do the toning there. As a matter of fact, that is what I have been doing in Photoshop CC (sending the pictures from Lightroom, same as Julianne Kosts does), and I can do a very good job, if I say so myself.
So the question I had was merely one of puzzlement at seeing the difference between the image just before exiting HDR Pro and what shows up in Camera Raw. In the examples I provided, and in many other cases, it clearly went beyond pixel-peeping: they were two very different images. But I think I understand now why this is, which you kindly pointed out: it is not possible to show the tonal width of a 32 bit image on a computer monitor. I had not considered that and I thank you for mentioning it.
It may be that in some cases (as in Julianne Kosts's video) the representation in HDR Pro is actually pretty close to the initial view in Camera Raw, but in other cases (my examples) it is not. Not really an issue, I agree.

What you see is not what you get

I have successfully created a blog using iWeb '08 (on an '07 macbook OS 10.4.11) but my blog archive page when viewed with Safari shows a mis-arrayed menu bar arranged letter by letter vertically down the left side of the page. When viewed with Firefox, the blog archive page shows a vertically arrayed menu bar. While working on the page, no menu bar whatsoever is visible on the blog archive page.
1) How do I access the navigation bar on the iWeb working blog archive page to try to correct the problem?
2) How to solve the browser issue: Why does a page look different on different browsers? Is there a setting to use that avoids this problem?

The text spacing also frustrates me, but I'm afraid is a drawback of the iWeb system. I always have to go back and re-tweak certain paragraphs that I try to squeeze into a smaller space. I've learned that it's best to allow for a little breathing room with the width and height of the text field. If the text field is exactly the width and height of your paragraph in iWeb, chances are the lines are going to bump down just a hair, creating an extra line of text which will decrease your line spacing if the height is also tight.

What you see is not what you get (gradient fills in text boxes do not reder

I have a web page that has a lot of text boxes with gradient fills. Some of these render correctly in Safari but many do not. They all look fine in iWeb. I copied one that rendered correctly and the pasted version did not. (the gradient fill did not cover the entire text box) Text boxes with two lines of text seem to have the most problems. Most copied text boxes also have problems.

Using a shape with a gradient fill and dragging a plain text box on top of it instead of just filling a text box with a gradient fill does work. However, Im not sure the problem is converting my text to an image as the html still has my text inside of tags even with the gradient fill. It seems like iweb should produce web pages that look exactly like what is shown in iweb.
So my question is not completely answered, but I do have a work around. Thanks
Russ
