A word or phrase moves when printing to PDF

Why, when printing to PDF from another format (such as Word) the odd time a column or a Word will move out of alignment?

I did the same steps to 14 Word files. 8 of them at the date of the section "Normal retirement Date" moved to the right as shown below.

The others were very good. The numbers and date, in the right-hand column are all tabed on without space.

This happens very rarely.

Thanks for your help.

It is a problem with the Microsoft Office applications since the beginning of the 1990s, believe it or not. Whenever you change the destination output device, Office applications will reformat your document based on the measurements of fonts to the resolution of the printer device. You can see the misaligned line endings changed tabs and pagination anomalies! There is absolutely nothing Adobe can do about it.

For example, if your default printer is set to print at 600 dpi, and the instance of Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver is set to 1200 dpi, expect reflow issues.

There are two workaround solutions. If you insist on printing at the instance of Adobe's PostScript of PDF printer driver to create PDF from applications Office, set the Adobe PDF printer as the default printer before entering the Office application and still print via the production of PDF. More likely, which will ensure consistency in the layout.

That being said, creating PDF via PostScript distillation (i.e., printing to the Adobe PDF, PostScript printer driver instance) is absolutely not the recommended way to produce PDF from Microsoft Office with Windows applications. Acrobat installs a PDFMaker factory (an Acrobat tab with a function to create a PDF file as well as a Save as Adobe PDF from the home view) in these applications that creates PDFS directly, without any stink'in GDI and intermediate PostScript and tends to provide provision more consistent with what you see on the screen at once. It also preserves image and dynamic transparency color spaces. The only thing that does not support the PDFMaker are all .eps graphics inserted in your Office documents (something rarely used in modern times).

We'll know if that helps you.

  • Images cut off when printing to PDF in Word 2010

    I saw a thread about it, but he never sufficiently answered. It is perhaps better understand now. It turns out that when I printed to PDF with MS Word 2010, Windows XP, all the images seem to be partially superimposed with a white box. Here are the jpg files, but it also occurs with other formats. I can really only the last column of tiles. This also happened to me with Word 2008. I am attaching a page cropped with such an image. Woukd anyone know what is happening here and how to fix it? I am running Acrobat 9.0 Pro. Thank you very much - it was really bothering me for awhile now. CutePDF will do the job but I prefer the 'high quality distiller' better...

    You could try the tool object editing and see if you can choose this white background which is hiding something and move/delete it. Worth a try. It may just be an overlay of some sort.

  • lines in my work move when printing

    Hi all

    I was faced with a problem when printing an artwork from an illustrator file (ai).

    The black lines on the top green bars (illustrated below) look OK on my computer screen. However, when I print the image on paper, the black lines on the top green bars move (see the second image). I don't know why this is happening. Can someone help me solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Deepak,

    I believe that the problem can be caused by your use of a printer without a printer PostScript (emulation) driver. If you are unable to use/install, your best bet may be through PDF and print from Acrobat/Reader.

  • Save location by default when printing to PDF format

    Hi all!

    I'm working on a remote server with r2 Windows Server 2012 and when I print the format PDF Adobe prompt me where I want to save my file the default location is drive c. server that I am connected.

    Is there a way I can change the default location to a specific folder on the C drive of my local computer and not the server?

    Hi djvaldes21,

    You can select a folder where default Acrobat will save all files when convert you to PDF using Adobe PDF printer.

    To do this, open the printer Adobe PDF Preferences and change the location of the folder desired under the label 'from Adobe PDF output folder. Click Browse to add or change the output folder.

    Hope that helps.

  • Lines/undesirable traits around object when printing to PDF format

    Hi all

    When I place a document in Adobe Indesign CS3 it seems perfect on the screen.

    But when I print to PDF in the PDF file, most of the objects show the wrinkles around them.

    Of course, I put the race to '0' and color 'None '. The traits do not arise in Indesign and not when printing to printer directly.

    But when I save it as a PDF there are all of a sudden these traits in the PDF file.

    The features appear on Indesign (example oval and text objects) objects, on inserted EPS, TIFF, PNG, and GIF.

    Can someone tell me what what should I do to prevent these features around the display of the PDF object, printed Indesign?

    Thank you in advance, I appreciate all help.

    Best,

    The white lines are called artifact sewing flattening transparency. Instead print format PDF, EXPORT to PDF format and using Acrobat 5 or greater compatibility, who will be leaving the live transparency and eliminate stitching artifacts.

  • problem with the colors when printing to PDF in FM9

    Hello

    We have some problems with printing to PDF with FM9 colors.

    FM document files eps (1) with a green box and (2) a rectangle created with the tools chart FM, filled with the same values of color green (91/0/60/44)

    In FrameMaker both colors is really different, but too bad, in the PDF color (eps) and the rectangle obtained the same correct green color.

    OK, him differed in creation, so they were CMYK and RGB, but your printing coming.

    Now in FM 9:

    (1) if I do a "save as PDF" and turn off "convert to CMYK in RGB" resulting PDF is the same from FM8 (correct)

    (2) if I print to PDF via distiller and set job options for "convert all colors to CMYK" resulting rectangle Green is very different from the greenery of the eps.

    I tried different options, the best result was "convert all colors to CMYK", the other options just very more ugly.

    Does anyone of you know a solution to your problem? The help is very appreciated. I could send examples of files if necessary.

    Thanks in advance.

    But we want to use the option to print using the Distiller.

    PIA,

    This sentence needs some explanation, I think. Why you want to use the print option?

    Using the print option,-you're always going the same route that FrameMaker Win has always been, that uses the postscript RGB driver only Windows. Now with FM9, you have the possibility to get CMYK directly to PDF, as defined, without any color conversion. And it * is * works, as long as you limit your documents CMYK or spot from the FM library.

    So, once again: why do you want to use the print option?

  • Column width set to 0 when printing to PDF format

    Oracle Application Express Version: 4.2.0.00.27

    Apex listener Version: 2.0

    We have a classic report with 20 columns. Out of them, few are conditional.

    We use attributes of the print to print the report in PDF format. The problem with the PDF and printed, it keeps the column width of all the columns in the PDF file, even if they are hidden. We put the column width for all columns of 20 in the print attributes section.

    Can we set the column width to 0 in the PDF output for columns that have hidden due to the State?

    HI - so what you are trying to accomplish? The conditional columns are not included in the PDF file. And the column width for the PDF file is set as a percentage of the available space. So I guess that what you need is for the remaining columns, i.e. those who are included, to fill the available space, but is not because even if the conditional columns are not displayed, they still use place. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to conditionally set the column width, or update the width of the columns according to the conditions. You can try your own custom report layout, or use the APIs of printing for export and under certain conditions using different presentations.

    I'll take a good score to see if we can improve the logic using the layouts of integrated report to be a little smarter on the use of space when the columns are excluded under certain conditions.

    Kind regards
