Where does Word pick up colour preferences from when printing to a pdf?

Hi there, I work in a studio with a dozen Macs. We do a lot of bid and tender work creating high volumes of pdf documents from Word.
The issue is that even when using the same process to create a pdf from different machines (Command-P, then the pdf drop-down to 'save as pdf') the colours print differently depending on which machine the pdf was created on.
Can you tell me where the machine picks up its preferences to create a pdf from Word so we can ensure each machine is the same?

Print > Adobe PDF Printer would invoke the Preferences for the Adobe PDF printer
From the Control Panel and/or Printers and Faxes, select the Properties for the Adobe PDF printer
I surprised myself by selecting (right click) Printing Preferences first and then (right click) selecting Properties > Advanced > Preferences; I have different options enabled in the screen shot below.

Service entry Sheet does not pick any Condition charges From Service PO

Hi All
Service entry Sheet does not pick any Condition charges From Service PO. What could be the reason ?

HI,
Please check Sap note 381030
Along with other thing It says
"Delivery costs are generally not supported in external services management and in case
of blanket purchase orders, item category D or B. Instead of representing delivery
costs via conditions, in case of service documents, freight costs and other, SAP
recommends to add in additional service lines."
So that is the reason you are not getting those account entry in the time of service entry sheet
Use another service line with text ( or service master) for the additional costs as suggested by SAP
Hope it clarifies

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.

When saving from the print menu to PDF to iBooks, it saves it as unnamed document.
Would like to be able to give it a name before saving it, or at least have a rename function in iBooks.
Can use Preview and rename it in Downloads and then move it to iBooks. Very cumbersome.
Thanks.

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

Why does a mail-merge in MS Publisher split into multiple files when printed as a pdf file?

'Cuz that's what mail merges do. They create multiple documents based on the parent doc and all the names/addresses in your data tables.
Perhaps if you describe exactly what you're trying to do & why you need PDF, we can point you to relevant tutorials.

Where does apple tv get my photos from

I wanted to stream photos but I don't understand where it loads them from. There are 10 or 12 in the photo stream, seems to have picked just a few from my phone, but not all. How does this work?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos can come from your computer or from Photo Stream.

Custom Manage Property does not pick up the value from mapping crawl property

Hi All,
I have created a custom list with the column name that's called "category".
Then I ran full crawl and I saw the "ows_category" crawl property is created.
Then I create the manage property names as "Category" and map with the "ows_category" and run the full crawl again. (Retrivable, Searchable, Refinable options are checked)
After full crawl, I searched Category:keyword but it returned 0 result.
But when I search keyword, that list item is retuned
I tried to debug with the spsearch2013 tool and there is no "Category" manage property in the return XML.
It seems the Manage Property does not pick up value from the crawl property. (Something might be wrong with the index schema)
Do you have any suggestion?
Do I need to reset the index?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hi Andy,
When you search ‘category’ in crawled properties(Central Administration->Search Service Application->Search Schema), you will see ows_Category is mapped to DiscussionCategory, like the screenshot:
So, I suggest you create a new column using another name, then test again, compare the result.
Best Regards,

Where does the file path get reported from?

When looking at ZAM software information, it'll show the product name and then like:
c:\program files\something\
Where does that path information come from?
The windows registry?
Or does it actually come from the location of the .exe itself?

[solved] Where does yaourt store packages it creates from AUR ?

Hi !
Using yaourt for AUR access, pretty happy with it, too (most features & fast enough for me).
Now when I install something from the AUR, I'd like to keep a backup copy of the package (handy especially for some git / svn packages that do not always build). This leads to the question, where does yaourt store the packages before installing (should be able to grab a copy then ...) ? Or does yaourt itself keep a backup copy somewhere, like pacman does ?
Thanks, A.

Where does Reader X save update preferences?

I'm trying to copy preferences to all users folders so anyone logs to the computer will have the same settings... I'm interested in update settings preferences in particular. I set it to don't download and would like to replicate that to all users.
I tried both C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0 folder and C:\Documents and Settings\<user Name>\Local settings\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0 but it doesn't look like it keeps it here.
I couldn't find any reg key that has anything to do with update preferences.
Please advice.
Thanks
Ed

It's most likely this file
com.apple.CharPaletteServer.plist
which is in the directory:
~/Library/Preferences
From looking at the file, it's not clear that it has anything more than the last time it was used.

Where does the Iphone get the Contacts from?

I recently purchased an Iphone and set it up. When I looked at my Contacts, there were hundreds of Contacts in the Contact list. I recognized most of them, but I'm wondering, where did it pull the Contact information from? It seemed to have pulled the information from numerous souces, based on what I saw in the Contact list.

from your contacts on your Mac? icloud.
From your old phone- that got carried over.
Back up assistant from your carrier- if you use that service.

Photosmart C4180 does not pick up 10x15 photopaper from the photo paper cassette

What can I do to get the printer to pick up 10x15 photo paper from the photo paper cassette? It wil only print when feeding one piece of photo paper at a time. This is tedious and annoying. No problems with ordinary paper.

Hello Mr. Wilks,
I am sorry to read about the issue you are having with your new Photosmart 6520 not picking up 4x6 paper. I understand you have cleaned the rollers and that did not resolve the problem. I have researched this and have found a couple of documents that I recommend you look at to ensure all of the print settings are correct when printing on a 4x6 or any other size you wish to print on.
I am unsure if you have a Windows or a Mac computer, therefore I will post 2 different links for you to look at depending on which operating system you have.
Here is the document for troubleshooting on Windows: Printing Photos Saved on Your Windows Computer

Where does the router fallback to load IOS when the IOS in flash memory is corrupted?

If the ios image stored in flash is corrupted from where does the IOS is picked up?

Hi,
The following details the router boot process:
1. The router is powered on.
2. The bootstrap program (ROMmon) in ROM runs Power-On Self Test (POST)
3. The bootstrap checks the Configuration Register value to specify where to load the IOS. By default (the default value of Configuration Register is 2102, in hexadecimal), the router first looks for “boot system” commands in startup-config file. If it finds these commands, it will run boot system commands in order they appear in startup-config to locate the IOS. If not, the IOS image is loaded from Flash . If the IOS is not found in Flash, the bootstrap can try to load the IOS from TFTP server or from ROM (mini-IOS).
Last if it doesnt find the software anywere it would end up in rommon mode.
HTH

My black Box doesnt match the colour of the image it is sampled from when printed, suggestions?

I have a black image covering half a page whilst placed next to it is a black box which has been sampled from the colour of the image, the CYMK are the same yet when printed the box comes out a different shade of black. suggestions?

There are a couple of things that could be going on, and as an aside, trying to match a solid background to a sampled area in an image is seldom successfule as there is too much variability in the actual color in most images.
The first possible issue is that the sample you are taking could be inaccurate. Are you sampling in ID or in Photoshop? You mentioned CMYK, and I don't believe ID will sample the CMYK in a placed image, but uses the preview instead. If you are sampling in Photoshop you are either sampling an average of the pixels in a square area, or a single pixel, depending on the eyedropper settings, and either choice is likely not to be truly representative in many cases. A further complication is if you are sampling an image that has a differnt color profile from the working space in ID.
The other big possibility is that your printer uses what is know as a dual-layer or CT-Line (for continuous Tone/Line art) processor and handles the raster image differently from the vector object created in ID. Theres a pretty good explanation of this in InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Eliminating YDB (Yucky Discolored Box) Syndrome

Images off colour and overexposed when printing

Hi folks I'm new to the site. I have been using adobe software for a good few years at this point, and i have been trying to solve a problem with my friends Photoshop and illustrator. every time she prints out work, its all off colour and over exposed like the colour preferences are messed up.
When printing a word doc or regular jpg images there is no problem. It only happens when trying to print in Photoshop or illustrator.
I would really like some help
Thanks

What are her color-management settings and practices?
Is she set up to use appropriate color-profiles while designing/editing, using a calibrated/profiled monitor to display the designs or photos in accurate color, and using appropriate settings and profiles for print color-management?
Do the prints come out to match what's displayed if the image is sent to a service - or you print them on your setup?
Does what is displayed in Photoshop match what is displayed in the other apps being printed from?
Has it once worked, and now it doesn't - or is this a new setup?
This is a case where the specifics matter - very much. Color-management settings and practices cannot usually be "guessed" into working. And to make matters worse for those struggling to understand, there is the possibility that there are bugs in printer drivers, bad monitor profiles, etc.
Unfortunately, it's near impossible to teach proper color-management concepts, so that the user can make all the appropriate choices, on a forum.

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.
