Wrong dimensions when printing forms

Hi there!
I know, I know, no one should be printing forms and killing trees but, you know, the client is always right...
So, this client is creating forms in LC Designer and part of these forms (around 300) will be printed.
They are very picky when it comes to milimetric precision, so they need the printed versin to be exactly the size they define in LC Designer.
Now, when printed, the forms do not keep the right size, even when setting the proportion as 100%.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thank you very much for any ideas!
Marcos

Are you sure "Fit to Printable Area" is not selected under Page Scaling in Acrobat's print dialogue?

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

When printing form using Adobe Acrobat X, I get squares over my italic text

Hi,
I have created an Adobe Form using Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and just printed it to check whether this works and the following occured:
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe reader everything looked great
- When printing my 14 page document using adobe prof X (not XI !) the italic text had some (non filled, seethrough) squares throughout it. The squares are not constant (5-15 squares per sentence) and I cannot recognize a pattern. However, they appear each time I print the entire document.
- When printing only one page of the document (that has italic text on it) it prints fine with either the free adobe reader or adobe pro X.
Font is Verdana,Italic. Size is 8,27 pt. Data is sometimes embedded (I did not use this feature and have no idea what is means). I always use Windows. Right now windows 7 to be exact.
One more thing: as you can see above the file was created using adobe XI. However, my company uses adobe pro X and therefore the document had to be printable using adobe pro X.
Can someone please help me? I have put a lot of time in the design of this form and not being able to print it correctly is a real dealbreaker for using it which would mean my efforts were wasted.
I added an example to clearify:
Best,
Linda

This is all I can find in KB:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/877/cpsid_87775.html#main_Known_issues_on_Windows_
I downloaded MS hotfix and the issue still persists.
We have to identify if this is an adobe issue or a microsoft issue.

Radio Buttons & Check Boxes Replaced w/ Rectangles, when printing Form w/ Adobe Reader XI (11.0.03)

Hello. I need to be able to print a .pdf copy of a completed web page form. The form is completed by entering data into text boxes and text areas, and selecting various radio buttons and check boxes. When the form is complete, it is saved, which converts the form into a .pdf file.
When I open the saved .pdf file, it looks completely normal. I will then select the print button, which is built into the display window for the form. The printed form will appear, but the radio buttons and check boxes will have been replaced with the outline of rectangles.
This is what the source form looks like, before printing:
This is what the printed image looks like, after printing. NOTE: All check boxes and radio buttons (and the data that they contained) are gone:
I am not sure if this is a setting that needs to be changed in Adobe REader XI, or something else.
Please let me know what you think it might be.
Thanks,
Rick

Michael,
It is a web/html form.
The forms are built and used inside of a software program called WebEOC.
WebEOC is used to allow for sharing information between different
emergency response entities (like a State, and the counties within the
State).
The form I am working with was built with a web page editing program. The
form uses html, xhtml, xml, CSS and javascript.
A for user would launch the WebEOC form (after logging into WebEOC), and
they would fill out the form. Text goes into text boxes and text areas,
dropdown menu selections are made, and some information is entered using
radio buttons and check boxes.
When the form is complete, it is saved within the WebEOC database, as a
.pdf file.
You can then open the .pdf file in order to see the form, in it's
completed state, as a pdf.
When I try to pint this pdf file of the completed form, the check boxes
and radio buttons are replaced with rectangles. Any selections made in
the radio buttons or checkboxes is lost.
Thanks,
Rick

Wrong colors when printing to HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c

I just upgraded from Labview 5.1.1 to Labview 6.1 on a Windows 95 Compaq Notebook. All the plot colors in 8 plot XY Graph indicator printed correctly on our network HP Colorlaser Jet 4550 PCL 5c using Labview 5.1.1. When I print the graph in Labview 6.1, sometimes some of the plot colors in the graph are wrong. In fact one of the plot switches color about 2/3 of the way across the X-axis. What is really weird is that the plot colors always print correctly in the legend. The VI prints the graph programically, but I also get the same inconsistent results when I copy the XY Graph to a new VI and use the print window comand in the file menu.
In my Labview preferences I use standard printing with colors and di
thering is turn on. The colors are correct when I programically save the front panel to either bmp, jpeg, or png files.
What causing this strange behavior?

Greg,
Thanks for your suggestion; however, it did not solve the problem. I set the line thickest to the maximum. Then I tried with and without dithering. The results were still inconsistent. Sometimes I got the correct colors; othertimes, some plots had the wrong colors. I attached two gif files as examples. The first shows the correct colors. The second shows that the 1st plot is yellow instead of blue. Also the 4th plot is green instead of red for the 1st 80% of the plot. Then it switches to the correct color, red. I have other graphs with different plots with the wrong colors. Notice that the colors in the legend are always correct.

Missing company logo when printing form

Hi,
We have sap script for billing document, in which company logo has been added to it.
But at the time of printing the form the logo is getting missed by business user. However when I tried to print the form by using my user ID the logo is getting displayed.
Is it the problem with business local printer setting or with form itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nishad,
The problem here is neither with the user nor with the form
but the logo doesnot exists for the user in the location u have to place.
so if u place the logo in their server the problem will be solved.
Regards,
Prakash.

When printing forms it switches my printer to 'offline'

I've created a couple of forms and when I go to print them, they won't print. Instead they switch my printer setting to offline. If I switch it back to online, it simply returns an error message and won't print.
I've had this problem with other forms, including Adobe created forms.
Does anyone know why and what I can do to fix this?
Thanks,
Peta

Turns out the problem was my printer or printer driver.
So I'll take this one off the outstanding list.

Wrong colors when printing PDF in Draft Mode Printing (Win)

I am using Acrobat to print my contact sheets from the Print module (Windows). If I use the "Draft Mode Printing" in LR, colors in the resulting PDF are way off. Any idea what the settings in Acrobat should be, to obtain correct colors? I have tried many combinations in the "Adobe PDF Conversion Settings", especially in the "Color" tab, but with no success.
Note that colors in the resulting PDF are correct instead when I disable the "Draft Mode Printing" from LR.

No I did not build 1:1 previews first. The point of using the draft print is to me to do quick, so would rather not build any 1:1 preview. Anyway, I don't believe I got what you wrote: if I do not build the 1:1 preview, what is the color space of the print output in Draft Mode?

Printer timeout when printing forms

We recently switched to printing out payroll checks and EFT notices
directly from SAP using the spool output from RFFOUS_C and RFFOUS_T.
The checks/notices use HR forms and SAPscript. During testing we had
no printer timout problems but in the first full production run, the
printout ended after about 1000 pages of an over 2000 page spool job.
The last page was a partial form with some lines drawn but no other
output. The printer indicated that is was finished and ready for the
next output. SAP reported the job was finished but not complete.
The workaround we did was to print the spool by page ranges.
We expect the error
is due to a printer timout between the SAP and printer connection. The
printer has 64mb of memory and we disabled the network timeout on it's
end. The printer is setup in SAP using Host Spool Access Method "U".
The destination host address and the host printer address are both the
IP address of the printer. We have reviewed notes 64628 and 12550 but
the documenation for printer setup is not clear as to the settings. We
have the following questions:
Can the destination host address point to a printer network card
address or should it point to another server address for access
method "U"?
Can the host name be changed to another server than what the SAP spool
is running on for access method "L"?
We would like to leave the SAP spool on the existing server but use the
host spool from a different server for performance reasons.

Turns out the problem was my printer or printer driver.
So I'll take this one off the outstanding list.

Reducing an image dimensions when printing?

The image I created is much larger than the final size needs to be. Nominally letter to Bisiness card. How can I reduce the dimensions of the image so it prints at the correct size?

Normally, one would create at final size.
What tool did you use to create the file? - that would be the first choice for editting.

Print size does not default to form size when printing PDF form.

So, we have created an interactive new client form for our firm. The form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2 and is set to legal size (8.5 x 14). After the form was completed and exported, it was filled out for testing and printed. During the printing process it was noticed that in the print dialog box, the dimentions for the form were wrong. It showed that the default document size was 8.5 x 11. Where and how is this changed in LC?
A new form was created (starting from scratch) with the document settings set to legal again, and inside of LC in the PDF preview panel, I tried to print and the same thing occured.
Please advise as how to set the document to its default size when printing without have to do it in the print dialog box.

The print dialog doesn't display the forms dimensions but those of the currently selected paper format of your printer.
If you change the page format in the printer driver the diemensions in the preview will change too.

Crashes intermittantly ( every other print ) when printing PDF forms

using a mac osx lion running firefox 10.0.2 and adobe reader pre release 11.0.0 when printing these pdf forms for real estate industry fire fox will intermitantly crash. this happens to all users running adobe 9.x.x - 10.0.1 i have run thourgh firefoxes tests to no avail. any other suiggestions.
updated plug ins
checked for osx lion updates
updated firefox
staretd in safe mode
tested in adobe 9 - 11
tested on PC no issues
only firefox for mac

OK
I debugged further I solved my issue.
I found that the system crashed when it was reading an include text on the context. The include text was missing on the test case that whent wrong. So I whent to the context and ticked the flag "no error if no text exist" on the include text. Then I got no error and my PDF printed.
So, I don't think the issue Oscar is having comes from the printer or the RFC connexion. Just check the include texts you are using on the context and mark the "no error..." flag.

Raise a TAR I reckon

When printing PDF file, have FORM TEXT in text fields

When I print a PDF file, I get { FORMTEXT } in all the text fields (as well as { FORMCHECKBOX } for where the person would circle an answer) and I don't know how to turn it off. Appreciate any help.
I also get symbols where there should be a regular empty box (where then someone would just put an x or check mark).

Do you mean that you get this when printing FROM a word document with
form fields TO a PDF? If so, you have to turn off your Word option
that prints field names.
