Why does printing a pdf take more than one hour?

Printing a single page from a pdf document (simple text) takes well over one hour. Surely, this can't be normal. Is this a known bug or is something wrong with my setup? Is there a solution/workaround?

For the record it is possible to have a large text-based PDF. What can increase the file size is the presence of images in the document. I have a training document I created in Word with lots of screen grabs that is 17MB. After converting it to PDF using Acrobat Pro the resulting PDF is 9.6MB. I also have a Snow Leopard manual - one of the David Pogue missing manuals - that is 15.2MB. So a large PDF file does not automatically mean it is image-based as has been suggested. And even if it was image-based file, which is usually TIFF encoded for b&w and JPEG encoded for colour documents, a single page of that document should not take that long to print.
With the document open in Acrobat you can select File > Properties and under the Description section you will see what application created the document and under the Advanced section you will see what application was used to create the PDF. This will give you some insight into the type of document you have. But if you did not create this PDF then there is not much you can do anyway.
If the same single page prints fine using Preview, then there could be a print setting in Acrobat that is causing the long delay. One setting is located in the Advanced print dialog menu. With the print dialog window open, you will see the Advanced button (outlined in red).
With the Advanced setting window displayed you will see the setting "Print as Image". Having this enabled can dramatically increase the file size of the document to be printed.

Why does my MBP 2011 take more than 90 seconds to boot and be usable

MBP 13" 2011, OS 10.9.4, 4G RAM
The boot time from press start to when I can use my MAC is excruciating, at least 90 seconds.
I have REPAIRED DISK PERMISSIONS AFTER EACH UPDATE OF SOFTWARE,
I have created a Guest Account and the 'start/to use time is 1/3.
I have NO 3rd party software, all Apple,
My iPhono Library is only? 10.5G
I have reset the SMC-Shift/Control/Option-hold- start
Once the Mac is up and running it seems to run ok with Safari, Mail running, but add to that NUMBERS or Garage Band 10, (fagedabowdit),
so, short of more patience, or RAM, any suggestions on this LOOOOOOOONG boot time?
Thank you all

Ok, I'm gonna re-read this Transferring files from one User Account to another coupla times. Trying to see how I can see both accounts/homes at the same time.
Is this the home folder items on the right I copy and paste into the new HOME on the newly created Admin Account (using a different name)? So I select the the 10 folders, select copy and I assume all content is copied as well and then paste that into.....ok, I'll bug off and read and re-read and then decide to try--or not.
This has been good, your help is spot on.

Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?

Hi!
Is it true that iPhone 4s does not allow to take more than 1000 photos?
http://dolboeb.livejournal.com/2299939.html

Not true.
Only Photostream is allowed to take a max of 1000 photos, then they will be removed from server/icloud.

How long does it take for the IOS 7.1 to finish updating? My phone has been plugged in to my computer for more than one hour and the status bar only shows about less than 1/4 completed. I have an iphone 5s btw.

Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

RMAN archive backup takes more than 1 hour.

Hello,
We execute the following command from HP Data Protector 5.50 in order to backup archives from an Oracle 8.1.7 database running in HP-UX 11.00:
run {
allocate channel 'dev_0' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
allocate channel 'dev_1' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
allocate channel 'dev_2' type 'sbt_tape'
parms 'ENV=(OB2BARTYPE=Oracle8,OB2APPNAME=inf,OB2BARLIST=Oracle_Archivers_Inf)';
sql 'alter system switch logfile'
sql 'alter system archive log current'
backup
filesperset 1
format 'Oracle_Archivers_Inf<inf_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog until time 'SYSDATE-2'
delete input;
backup
filesperset 1
format 'Oracle_Archivers_Inf<inf_%s:%t:%p>.dbf'
archivelog all;
This process takes more than 2 hours for just 3 GB and we don't think this is network issue.
Is our RMAN command doing more thinks than just archives backup?
Almost at the end of backup we get following message:
Default exp binary /INF/oracle/app/product/8.1.7/bin/exp/ is used for catalog export.
Does this message mean an export is done at the end of archive backup?
Note that message belongs it is more than 2 hours later.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,
Carles

Yes, it appears one of your utilities is doing an export backup, check HP Data Protector settings.
-- and/or -- you are having tape problems: ... type[b] 'sbt_tape'

Light Switch 2011 "C#" How to allow filter which take more than one entry to take * and show all other entries?

Dear All,
I have created the following code which extended my filter functionality and allowed a to take more than one entry (Comma have to be inserted after
each entry).
For example:
"Country Filter" can take ----> Germany,Egypt,Holand<o:p></o:p>
"City Filter " can take ---------> Berlin,Münster
if (Country_PAR != null)
String[] Country_Array = Country_PAR.Split(new Char[] { ','});
query = from p in query where Country_Array.Contains(p.Hotel_Country) select p;
if (City_PAR != null)
String[] City_Array = City_PAR.Split(new Char[] {','});
query = from p in query where City_Array.Contains(p.Hotel_City) select p;
Now want to extend it more and say something like:
If * is included ---- > Give me all entries
ex. Ge* This will give me everything which starts with Ge
If <> is entred -----> Give me entries which are not equal to a certain entry
ex. Country Filter = <> Germany give me all other entries except Germany
Thanks alot,
Zayed

Thanks your reply. I mean no one know my feeling. except if the new car is your. If Geek Squad can't install it. Just let me know and go. right? I ask many time? Are you ok to finish? He said yes. First time fail after 5 hours long wait and tow my car to Toyota repair. Second time said only take 20 to 30 minutes to program the key. but fail again after about 4 hours 30 minutes long wait and head light is not automatic turn on at night. I have to take a day off drive to Toyota repair. My time is money. wait there more than 10 hours and done nothing. 5 days no car and take the subway Bus and long walk. How do I feel? I m the customer. if without the customer. How you get pay? Geek Squad use my remote start and alarm and I can't return it. I loss time and money. My new car has a repair record. That is what Bestbuy want to do for the customer. Geek Squad work for Bestbuy. right? You are not just loss one customer. You will loss more and more than the remote start alarm cost. Bestbuy will not know? How come just 200$ remote start alarm and the 50$ module. Bestbuy don't want to reimburse. I m not tell you to pay me 5 days for rental car. why don't just want a happy ending? Bestbuy is big company. I m very small. 250$ it cost Bestbuy nothing. You can't let the customer loss money because you. right?

How to make an indicator takes more than one input

Hello,
I want to know how to make an indicator ( like gauge for example) response to more than one case strrcuture result. In other words, how the indicator can take more than one input and move based on different input values ( the arrow of the gauge moves to different angles basesed on the logic structure and not only to one degree).
Thanks in advance,

YES, you got it right Coastal !
This is what i want to do,
I dont know how to establish this output in the software, i am still learning LabVIEW.
I put a merge block to join the outputs but it didnt work.
check it in the attached VI file.
I am sure it is an easy thing but I dont know how to implement it.
Any help you provide is appreciated,
Best wishes

Restart takes more than 2 hours!

Since a couple of days a restart on my 2008 MacBook Pro 15 inch takes more than 2 hours. Anybody have the same problem?

It's likely that your boot drive is failing, or that you have some other hardware fault. Back up all data immediately, then run the Apple Hardware Test.

Is this PSE 12? You should not be logging out. In PSE 12 log in = activate. When you log out you are deactivating PSE. Just leave it logged in.

XDCAM 1080i60 with Chroma rendering 30 minute episode take more than 17 hours is it usually?

XDCAM 1080i60 format with Chroma rendering 30 minute episode take more than 17 hours is it usually?

All depends on the system...
If by "Chroma rendering" you mean chroma key rendering then it seems quite slow (but I cut on a hopped up
8X 3.2GHz Mac Pro with a lot of everything, so slow is relative.)
If you mean something like a Magic Bullet Colorista "treatment", that's another story. I've seen that increase renders by as much as 25X the duration, i.e., a 30 minute show might take 12-15 hours on a slow machine.

I am trying to copy more or less 30G from my MacbookPro to an external hard drive and it is stuck in the "preparing to copy" step. But that for more than one hour. What should I do to make it faster? Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks Shootist007, by blockd files I mean files that I have changed to blocked and when I tried to move then for the first time, I had to unblock again. I am trying to backup my pictures, my songs and other files like word documents and excel tables. First I put all of them as blocked, what caused the first problems on trying to move them. Then, I've unchecked the block option and if I try to move one by one, there is no problem. The issue is to move all together, because it gets stuck in the preparing to copy files step. Anyway, if I cannot do all by once, I'll do it one by one, event though that was not suposed to happen if we are talking about technology, right? Anyway, I thank you again for trying to help me!
