When I print a PDF from Adobe it creates a border when I do not one

Hello, I hope someone can help.
I am creating documents in Quark and Microsoft Publisher.
These documents have a Orange block banner at the top of the page, this represents the colour of the company I work for. It sits at the top of the A4 page and I have created a large bleed around it in Quark/Publisher.
When I export the file as a PDF and open the file up in Adobe, the banner is solid at the top of the page with no white border visible in Adobe.
However when I go to print the document, it prints out with a border. So that the banner is there, BUT there is a white gap between itself and the edge of the paper (this appears to be a border)
Can anyone provide a solution to how to remove this? Is it something to do with the size of the paper, or something Adobe is doing automatically? I am using Adobe Reader 8.
Many thanks for any help anyone can give.
Many thanks
Neil

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.

  • I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader with Mavericks!

    I cannot print a PDF from Adobe Acrobat Pro or Adobe Reader.  I tried on both MacBook Pros we have here, both now with Mavericks.  Error message says "Opening printer connection failed.  Unable to open printer connection . . . "  This is after it says sending data, printing, shows the percentages etc., but then at the end I get the error message above.  I can print a PDF (same one) from Preview, but not from Acrobat!  What's going on?  Never had this issue before Mavericks . . . Please help.

  • Printing a PDF from Adobe - Garbled Text

    This might sound like a strange thing to do but I have tried this many times, hoping each time it would work. Basically I create a PDF file in Adobe 7.0 Pro. I insert all sorts of text, callouts, and other shapes. I don't want to send this file to my client because if they print without comments they get the wrong image. Additionally sometimes I might be hiding information which is on the previous PDF file and I don't want the client to see it.
    So when I have the PDF file complete I try to print to a PDF so the comments become incorporated into the file. This works fine except that the text always shows up garbled. Any solutions out there on how to get the text not to garble? 
    I have read through other posts on this site and see that there are text garbling issues.
    (My alternate solution is to use other programs to create the information then print to PDF for the client. this requires converting the PDF information to other types of files or some other type of file manipulation, which always looses quality.)

    Acrobat 8 and 9 allow you to flatten the comments to make them part of the pdf. I don't recall if that is possible in 7. Try looking in the help file.

  • How do I print large PDFs from Adobe on Linux?

    Hello. I am writing this request with an issue involving Adobe Reader.
    I am having difficulty getting large PDF files to print from some standalone kiosk machines. The machines run off of a Linux OS, and a delay occurs each time a large PDF file is sent to the printer. I believe this issue may involve the actual machine units (which each have a CPU speed of about 1.33 GHz), but would like to determine if there are any alternate issues or solutions that anyone may know of.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

  • Print to PDF from Word 2011 creates problems at section breaks

    I have a user trying to create a pdf of his thesis. He created the thesis on Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, and we use Acrobat 10. It has a number of section breaks where he switches from portrait to landscape and back. When he tries to print to PDF, not only does the thesis get split into an individual document at each section break (annoying, but not a big issue), but when he tries to reassemble the document there is an adjustment in margin and several extra lines of space at the top of each section. I've seen workarounds such as opening the individual sections in Preview and stitching them together that way, but it still leaves the extra space at the beginning of each section break, as well as the adjustment in margin. Has anyone found a workaround for this?
    Thank you!

    I had the same problem with a Word document and figured out the problem. Word seems to be spitting out separate PDF documents based on the page setup. So under File -> Page Setup you get a dialog box with the settings for the page, and usually a "Format for" dropdown and a "Paper Size" option. If these setting are not the same for the whole document, Word throws a wobbley and generates a PDF for each page setup.
    My solution (works where all of the pages are the same format).
    File -> Page Setup
    Settings: Choose "Microsoft Word" from the dropdown box
    Apply Page Setup settings to: Entire Document.
    This will setup up the entire document to use the same page settings, and will fix the problem for those of us who are wanting a document that all has the same page settings. (This won't work if you are mixing page sizes.)

  • Text problems with printing to PDF from AutoCAD 2011

    When we print to PDF from AutoCAD, the text in the PDF looks wrong/bad.  It takes on a jagged appearance and doesn't look anything like what the font is supposed to look like.  Any suggestions?

    Yup. It's not that it won't do it, it is just limited to 129". Thanks for the thought. When you print in Acrobat you can see the document size and the page size the program is assuming below the print window. The properties have been set, document adjusted, page size customized. It works exactly as it's designed (according to Adobe help, their knowledge base, etc) but only up to 129". Can do it at any size, decminal, etc. up to and including 129 inches. Prints beautiful, doesn't get chopped no issues at all. Just hits a wall at 129". Been doing it with blueprints for years. Just never needed it this big. In my case it's not a printer/plotter limitation. It's the Adobe PDF printer which is advertised to be able to cusomize page size to 15,000 inches.
    Tried customizing in post script, no luck there either.
    Again, I very much appreciate the suggestions....

  • TRYING AGAIN - Printing to PDF from AutoCAD

    When we print to PDF from AutoCAD, the text in the PDF looks wrong/bad.  It takes on a jagged appearance and doesn't look anything like what the font is supposed to look like.  Any suggestions?

    Did you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Are the fonts embedded with the PDF, or is Acrobat having to make font substitutions? You might try the Press or Print job settings. If you are using something other than Acrobat to create the PDF, then I don't have any suggestions other than to try Acrobat.

  • Printing to PDF from Microsoft Word 2004?

    Greetings,
    I'm in the process of completing my masters thesis and am in need of some assistance. The guidelines for my thesis state that title pages must have a 2-inch top margin and 1-inch bottom margin. When I print to paper from Microsoft Word, everything looks great. When I print to PDF from MS Word, the 2-inch top margin changes to 2 & 3/16-inch and the bottom margin cahnges from 1-inch to 1 & 3/8 inch. Is there a reason why this is happening and is there a way to correct this? I don't want to have to go out and purchase Abobe Acrobat Pro just to print this thesis according to the graduate school guidelines.
    Sincerely,
    JBelair

  • When trying to print to PDF from a sales program we use it keeps throwing errors

    When several people try to print to PDF from MAS90, it will save it and create a file as it normally does. However, it does not open in Acrobat 9 Pro as it normally does, and displays the famous error "Acrobat could not open 'xxxx.pdf' because it is either not a supported..."  Yet when you manually open the file from the file system, it opens just fine.
    So to rehash what I just said, when I print to pdf, it asks me where to save, the notification said the printing completed, adobe opens and displays error. If you click on the file, then the file opens just fine.
    However several other people do not have this error while trying to print to file from mas90. Does anyone out there have any idea what could possibly be causing this error to be displayed?

    Hi ftd12300,
    Are you saving the PDFs you're creating to a network drive or are they being saved locally? 
    Do you have this problem when creating PDFs from other applications such as Notepad?

  • Acrobat Pro 9.51 Hangs When Printing to PDF from WordPerfect.

    Seems Adobe Acrobat 9.51 is hanging when attempting to do a conversion to PDF by printing to PDF from WordPerfect (using X3/X5).  Problem is it also hangs the rest of the PC.  Have to attempt to kill the process (though it is so slow I end up having to restart the PC).  Anybody have any thoughts on this.  Attempted to do a repair (no help), removed the program and reinstalled (also no help).  Thought maybe another process was killing this but turned off all startup items.  Maybe I missed some uninstall items I need to manually remove?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Knowing the OS would be helpful as it may be a factor.
    If the OS is Windows 7 Acrobat 9.x will not provide full functionality.
    Regardless, WP file format(s) are not compatible / supported by Acrobat PDFMaker.
    Corel uses its own publish to PDF process rather than anything Adobe.
    With Acrobat installed you can print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
    If you are not doing a File - Print and selecting the Adobe PDF printer then you are using a WP rather than an Adobe process provided by Acrobat.
    Be well...

  • I can't print to PDF from AutoCAD and can't find a phone number to call ADOBE for support. Very frustrated, please help.

    Trying to plot to PDF from AutoCAD. Never usually have issues doing so, a few months ago it stopped working suddenly with  a warning message that said Adobe PDF was not activated. I didn't know what to do so uninstalled and reinstalled it which fixed the problem. Only now it started happening again.... There must be an easier fix?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thank you for writing to me!
    It occurs when I try to print to Adobe PDF from either AutoCAD or Revit (both autodesk products). My Adobe PDF function seems to be working for other applications - for ex. if I save from Illustrator to PDF, Word to PDF, etc. From this description it sounds as if it's more of a problem with my Autodesk products, but the odd thing is that until recently I was able to print to PDF from both of them! This happened to me once before and I uninstalled and reinstalled ADOBE but I thought there must be a better way of dealing with it. Is the number of times you install the ADOBE CS6 limited? I worry that uninstalling/reinstalling it uses up some of my uses - even though it's on the same laptop.
    The error message I get is this:

  • Text getting cut off when printing to PDF from Excel

    Hello,
         I've seen a lot related to this subject but nothing that shows a real solution.
         Using Excel 2003-sp3 and Adobe Acrobat v.9 Standard, the right half of the last character in the string gets cut off. It prints from excel fine.
         It's not always the text that is the right-most on the page either. An affected PDF file is attached - note the cut off "S" on the last line (NET ASSETS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES).
         Any assistance is appreciated.
