Wrong orientation of backsides of landscape pages when printing with Acrobat Pro 9

Since I switched to Acrobat 9 I have the following problem:
Two landscape orientated documents that were printed
identically with Acrobat 8 are printed different with Acrobat 9
(backsides of the document are rotated 180 degrees). The documents
have the following properties:
Landscape doc 1:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 595 842] Rotation: 90 degrees.
Landscape doc 2:
- Media & crop box: [0 0 842 595] Rotation: 0 degrees.
I am using the identical driver. If I check the generated
postscript I see that they have a different orientation (portrait
vs. landscape) and a different viewing orienation (1 0 0 1 + 0 1 -1
0 vs. 0 1 -1 0 + 0 1 -1 0). Anyone an explanation for this
difference?

Line spacing (leading) when converting web page to PDF with Acrobat Pro 8.1.2

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro version 7.0.9 to version 8.1.2 (Windows XP Pro). In many cases, when I "Convert current web page to an Adobe PDF file" using the Adobe PDF toolbar in Internet Explorer, the spacing between lines is much larger with version 8 than it was with version 7. Has anyone else observed this? Is there any way to control leading?
Peter

Is the plugig the same as an add-on because all of my Acrobat Add-ons are active?

Blank page when printing with black cartridge

After trying the suggested solutions to this problem on the last 20 forum pages with no luck, I took the new black cartridge out of the printer. Later, forgetting there was no black cartridge in it, I proceeded to print a page and finally got a full page printed in black. What does that mean? other than it's a messed up printer. No more HP for me. My old Epson worked for 8 years with no problems. Someone hit the nail on the head when he called the software " invasive". Does HP ever read this board? If they did, one would think they would be concerned about some very angry customers.

It is a bit difficult to diagnose your issue with absolutely no details of printer model or any other relavant data. It appears you have a recent printer with a black and a tri-color cartridge. Your black cartridge is clogged or out of ink or otherwise non-functional. When you remove the black cartridge your printer automatically switched to "reserve mode", generating black using the color cartridge. A fresh working black cartrdige should resolve your issue.

Document size error when printing with Acrobat XI Standard

Hello,
I seem to be having a problem when I try to print to my Colorwave 600 plotter, using Acrobat XI Standard. I am trying to print a 36" wide document, but for some reason when the printer receives the information, it thinks I'm asking for a 42" wide print. The biggest paper the colorwave can use is 36", so this is problematic.
The sheet size in Acrobat is set correctly. The problem is only when the printer receives the information.
If I select "print as image" in advanced settings, it prints. I'm just confused why this would happen, and why printing as an image would work? I would prefer not to print as image as it makes the text in my files jagged.
I have tried wiping my print drivers and reinstalling, but this didn't help. Also, this problem only happens printing from a PC. It works fine if I print from a Mac.
Any advice?

My workaround by using a virtual PDF printer isn't as good as I hoped. If the files generated by printing with flashplayer exceed about 3 pages the temp file generated in /var/spool/cups is so big that it exceeds my partitions size.
The file can get up to more than 1GB. With documents from one or two pages the temp file is about 500MB, the correct pdf gets generated after that and is placed under /var/spool/cups-pdf/<user> and is about 500kb small. The very big temp file get's deleted after that.
Why is this temp file so big and how can I avoid it getting so big?

Double separator page when printing with W8 x64?

Hi all,
I am having an issue, when I print from a Windows 8 x64 machine I get 2 separator pages instead of 1. I'm assuming one is the server pcl and one is the local pcl. If I take away the pcl file on either machine I get no separator page. I've searched the internet
high and low and cant seem to find out how to stop this. It's very wasteful! Is there a way to disable the local pcl? I tried to remove it but even though I am admin on the machine and disabled UAC (in registry too), I am not allowed to delete it or rename
it.
Thanks

Yes I have! That's how I was removing the pcl.sep file. I have done so on the server and the local machine. these are the scenarios then I leave the separator field blank:
sever: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep local: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep = 2 separator pages
sever: Blank local: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep
= no separator pages
sever: c:\windows\system32\pcl.sep local: Blank
= no separator pages
In Windows 7 it looks like the 1st scenario but only prints 1 separator page.

How to NOT display header details in every page when printed with PLD

Hi All
I am printing a report of all related activities of a business partner using PLD. in the printout the header details of business partner such as name, phone details are printing in every page along with contents. how to avoid this situation printing the header details in everypage except first page?
SV Reddy

Hi,
Add a formula field to the page header. The formula field will need to contain the following text on the Content tab.
CurrentPage()
Add another formula field, once again add the following to the Content tab
Field_101=='1'
in the example above, Field_101 is the field id for the first formula field you added.
Now all you need to do is link the fields that you only want printed on the 1st page to the 2nd formula field you added.
Regards,
Adrian

Part of page "image" overlaps the page when printed. How do I fix this?

When printing from Acrobat 10.1.5, part of the contents of the page prints on top of the page itself. In my most recent case, the page is landscape. The portion of the page that overprinted is from the bottom center about 1 inch wide and 4 inches tall. It ended up on the top right of my page.
Portrait example - a similar sized "piece" from the middle of the 8.5" length, about 1 inch tall and 4 inches wide printed on the top left of my portrait page.
I have tried the quick fix - print as image - but that doesn't change anything. Help!

Hi Casey ,
You can check the properties of that calender option and if there is an option of opening the calender in the same page ,then please select that.
Or is it with the help of button option you have created the calender?

PDFs are always scaling to fit the page when printing, after OS X 10.9 upgrade

Hello,
When I try to print a PDF on a sheet that is larger or smaller then the page size I have selected in Acrobat, it always reduces or enlarged it to fit, even when I tell it not to do any scaling. Please see my step by step process below for more details on how I am sending the file to the printer.
Preface:
This problem began after I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.9, and it only applies when I print from Acrobat Pro to our poly platesetter (I work in the prepress department for an offset printer). I have Acrobat Pro 9 and 11 on my computer, and I have the problem using either one.
• I do not have this problem when printing from InDesign, or any other CC application.
• I can print to our four other printers (desktop or copiers) from Acrobat without any scaling problems.
Description of the problem:
This is an example of a file I may need to print, a #10 envelope. The sheet and document sizes are in red.
The 'Page Size' is 4.13" x 9.5" and I have it set to print 'Actual size.' I have also tried 'Custom Scale' at 100%, but I still have the same problem. The preview in the print dialog is correct. It should just print the envelope, not the cropmarks that were on the PDF. I've sent down countless envelopes this way before I upgraded to 10.9 without any trouble.
Above is a screenshot of the file after it has been ripped at our platesetter. You can see it reduced the entire document to fit on the selected page size. The cropmarks should not be there, and it shouldn't have reduced the artwork.
I also have the opposite problem of my artwork being enlarged if I send something down that is smaller than my selected page size.
I know this a very specific problem, so I understand that I may not get much help on it. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. I have workarounds, but this is really slowing me down, and if I accidentally plate something that was reduced or enlarged can be a very costly mistake if it get printed that way.
My Equipment:
• Early 2008 - Quad-Core Mac Pro 2.8 GHz
• I use Abobe CC applications, but I've tried Acrobat 9.0 as an alterative to Acrobat 11
• Our platesetter is: Mitsubishi SDP-Eco 1630 IIIR
with a Harlequin RIP 9.0 Revision 0
Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.

A workaround I found for my Fiery RIP if insist on using Acrobat XI:
In Acrobat's Print dialog, set:
Choose paper source by PDF page size = ticked
Use custom paper size when needed = ticked
In Page Setup, set Page Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"
In Printer, open the Fiery driver properties and set Paper Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ...

When I print, a last page is printed with a summary of document printed - file name, directory, ... Just got Windows 8. Is this something I can stop? Waste of paper and ink!!

Hi RebeccaQ,
Generally speaking, a summary page, document summary or document properties page is often generated based on a setting in the software application being used as opposed to the printer driver or menu setting. For example, in MS Word you can select to print this page with each printed document. In this case, depending on your version of Word, you can enable/disable the feature often in "Word Options", "Display", "Printing Options", "Print Document Properties".
Does this help? If not, which printer model and software application is being used when the summary is printed?

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

Why does my image not reach the edges of the page when printed, but appears fine as pdf?

Check a printable area of your printer.
Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
the white borders around the printed rectangle.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe you need Acrobat Pro for that.

Black ink faded/Gray when printing with HP Envy 5530

When printing with my new HP Envy 5530 the black ink looks gray or faded. I tested the color and this prints dark and clear. I have power cycled, plugged into different power outlets and re-inserted the cartridge. Any thoughts...or could it just be a "bum" cartridge?
Thanks in Advance for your help...

Howdy. After tinkering around with my Envy having the same issue, I found out that after replacing my black cartridge because it was low, I was having the same issue.
Turns out the color cartridge will simulate a black in an to preserve both the tri color cartridge and the black cartridge for as long as possible, which is why even if you've never printed any color, both your cartridges should be low. Once the color cartridge starts getting low, the printer doesn't have a sensor to realize which of the tri color is mixing in the most, so it continues to mix it in either way.
I was having this issue where I would print one page and it would be okay and then any page following would slowly look worse.
Long story short, just print without the color cartridge in and you shouldn't have the issue unless your black is really low. Replacing that should fix it overall though.

Why do images within a PDF look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6?

Using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS version 10.7.5 with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB graphics card. High-resolution source images look fine in other software, and embedded images in a PDF look fine when viewed on Google Drive, but curves and diagonal lines look jagged when viewed in Acrobat Pro 10.1.6. Checking smoothing options in Preferences only adjusts the position of the jagged edges; it neither enhances nor ameliorates them.
I created a sample PDF to illustrate the problem I'm having. Created in illustrator, exported to PNG and converted to PDF. Here is a screenshot of the source PNG side-by-side with the PDF I created from it:
Please note that when I preview the PDF in Finder, and when I view the PDF in Chrome using Google Drive, the image looks fine. Here's a link to the sample PDF:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/77f5m6
Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in my original post, I've already tried toggling smoothing options. They don't make the jagged edges go away—they just change them slightly. In some cases, as with the sample file provided, it does help smooth the art out, but it never looks as good as it did going in, in a recent project, toggling smoothing options didn't affect the appearance of the image at all. Zoom does not appear to relieve the artifacting.
A little clarification: this PDF was created from a flat PNG, but I have had this issue with PNGs and TIFFs as well, generated by both Photoshop and Illustrator. To reiterate, the PDFs display fine in other software—Finder preview looks great, and the same file viewed in my browser via Google Drive looks as intended as well. A colleague was able to replicate this issue in Acrobat on his Windows machine. This appears to be a rendering issue specific to Acrobat with regards to the files I use it to create.
