How can I control the paper with a PDF file trays

At the moment we use postscript to specify which page of a document gets taken from what on our docutech/IGEN etc. paper tray. We are able to specify the source of paper by using InDesign and a third part application but so that the press in order to understand the command, we must present the work as postscript instead of a PDF file.

How do do this with a 'modern' PDF workflow, by incorporating this information in the PDF itself through some means or is there some kind of external control I'm missing? PDF/VT does it take?

Thank you

Bob

PDF is designed so that the job control is not placed in the PDF file itself. This control work including support pages are printed on what paper, tax parameters, finishing, etc. are placed in a job ticket, normally JDF, to print PDF streams. Some manufacturers have their own format of work ticket that specifies these parameters of the device instead of JDF dependent work.

In the case of digital presses to Xerox Docutech and iGen, you should contact Xerox if you use their DFE (digital front-end server) or one that provides the DFE or Xerox for instructions on the construction of such a work.

Regarding PDF/VT, this subset PDF standard is based on top of PDF/X-4. It provides no support for DPM (departure Metadata) that can be used to label individual pages as to what type of page, they are, for example a cover page, a page of text, a postcard, etc.. This label is then used by JDF (or any of the job your system ticket mechanism uses otherwise JDF) to provide guidance for how those pages should be handled (as a source of paper, taxation, duplex/simplex, etc..)

  • How can I clear the paper jam in my printer

    Original title: Deskjet printer

    How can I clear the paper jam in my printer?

    Hello Janet,.

    Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the printer?
    • Do you have the manual of the printer with you?

    The following factors can cause paper jams:

    1. paper loaded properly in the paper tray.

    2 rolls of paper damaged or dirty.

    3. torn, crumpled or wet paper loaded in the paper tray.

    4. the access door back or double-sided (duplexer) printing accessory cannot be closed or is not locked in place.

    5 paper was added to a stack already in the status bar.
    The status bar contained more than one type of paper.

    6. torn pieces of paper from a previous jam are stuck in the product.

    7. the status bar is too full.

    8. If printing on an envelope, the envelope edges are bent.

    To avoid damage to the printer, see the documentation that came with the printer to see how to remove paper jams. Function of the printer, and where the problem is occurring, you might want to try one of the following options:

    • Go to the printer, the arrival of mail in the State or the display on the printer area that might tell you where the problem occurred, and then complete steps provided to remove the paper jam. If the printer does not display an information about the problem, check the information that came with the printer. If the printer is connected to a network domain, contact a system administrator or your company support desk.

    • Some printers offer a button that you can press on and hold, or paper feed another option that you can use to try to get the paper without damaging the printer.

    • You may need to open the printer casing and remove the paper that is the cause of the problem. Before do you, check the documentation that came with the printer to see if you put off the printer or take other measures to prevent injury to yourself or damage to the printer.

      You should also check if the printer box opening will result in the invalidity of the guarantee or any agreement to repair that you bought or supplied with the printer. For more information on the agreements, check the detail information and manufacturer supplied with the printer.

    If the problem persists, use the printer to help manual or contact the manufacturer of the printer to help.

    How can I update the rubrics with WebServices?

    /Anyone/ has some success with this?

    It becomes important to our business objectives in order to solve the problems within the control elements.

    I can't enter the number of line by line in order to uniquely identify it. How can I get that number, so I can send it with xml "update"?

    A little nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated.

    Aaron.

    You must use a field on the form as the one on the line items, NOT the line number that appears in the journal of the line item. If I understand correctly, the LineItemIdentifier can be any field on the form, even the short description. It is best if you know you will use web services to update the line items, you add a (potentially hidden) field to the form and fill that with unique values when positions are created. If you are working with existing elements of line, then you must choose a field that will be usually unique within a single record and hope, you don't have a lot of duplicates.

    How can I change the term of my video file?  Windows DVD Maker is playing my video file listed as 26:18:32 only 26 hours instead of 26 minutes 18 seconds and 32 milliseconds.

    Hi MacChang,

     

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community. It seems that you have a problem with the length of a video file playing on Windows DVD maker. This can be very frustrating for you, and I appreciate the efforts you have put in. Let us work together as a team to get this number fixed.

     

    We start with a few questions-

    (1) is specific to a particular video file?

    (2) have you made changes on the computer?

     

    I would like more information about the issue.

     

    Method 1-

     

    I wish that you disconnect any external devices to the computer. In addition, I would have you close all programs running in the background.

     

    Method 2-

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.

    Placing the computer in a boot minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must perform the steps in the article-
