Acrobat 8 printing problems

Mike:

Thanks. Just to be clear, is it an Adobe or Apple update?

Thank you but it is not a page scaling issue, the image prints @ 100%
on the correct size paper but the image is cropped.

I'm going to comment on my own message from a couple of days ago because I've just discovered another quirk of Acrobat 8 and HP Laserjet 2550Ln.

My problem was........

"I'm on a G5 using 10.4.11
I've just recently updated to CS3 which obviously includes Acrobat 8.
If I open any PDFs in Acrobat 8 and send them to the printer (HP Laserjet 2550 Ln) the printed version comes out all red/brown."

I've now discovered that this problem only happens if I create the Postscript document using Distiller on the pre-set "Standard" and then print the subsequent PDF.

If I create the Postscript using Distiller on the pre-set "Press Quality" then the printed PDF comes out ok.

Whenever I try printing to PDF using the Adobe 8.0 printer driver (which has the best resolution control when creating PDF's) it sends the job to the Adobe 8.0 printer, which runs Distiller and then pauses. Nothing will allow the job to process without continuously pausing.

I've only noticed this problem since upgrading to Leopard.

Running MBP Core2Duo 2.4Mh, OS 10.5.1

I'm on a G5 using 10.4.11

I've just recently updated to CS3 which obviously includes Acrobat 8.

If I open any PDFs in Acrobat 8 and send them to the printer (HP Laserjet 2550 Ln) the printed version comes out all red/brown.

If I open the same PDF in Acrobat 6 and send it to the same printer, it comes out ok.

And if I open and print in Preview it comes out ok.

So there's no doubt where the problem lies

In my latest experience this is yet another Adobe CS3 (release status) issue. I can confirm the same type of odd printing problems across a very broad rang of computing platforms (Linux, Mac & Win XP Pro) and hp LaserJet printers. A patch should hopefully coming soon when Adobe grasps that this is indeed a software problem.<br />The same PDF's that print fine using Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Pro <v8 print fine, v8+ seems to cause various printing problems.

LARGE FORMAT COLOR PRINTING ISSUE WITH ACROBAT 8
WE UPGRADED TO CS3, WHEN EVER WE SEND A PRINT @ ANY SIZE A2 A1 A0 ECT
IT CROPS THE PRINT, PAPER SIZE IS CORRECT IN BOTH MENUS, BUT FROM ACROBAT 7 ITS FINE I UPGRADED FIRMWARE ON THE HP AND REINSTALLED LATEST DRIVER, AND UPDATED ABAT 8 WITH THE LATEST PATCH NOTHING WORKS
A4 A3 SRA3 ALL PRINT FINE TO OUR XEROX 250ST, 2060 ,7000 AND OUR OCE TDS860 THIS ONLY SEEMS TO BE AND ISSUE WITH THE HP. CAN ANYONE HELP!

Gee, I thought that was how Macs were supposed to work....

Actually, in 7, you could choose your printer in the print dialog and go from there. Saved the extra step of going specifically to the Page Setup dialog. You can still do this, but you get what amounts to white boxes over the area that would have normally printed. So a letter-sized sheet only has a printing area of about 7x10, which obviously isn't acceptable.
And to clarify, these problems are with Xerox drivers and it is when you try to print directly from Acrobat to the copier. We use a 252 to print color-managed proofs, but the only way to avoid the cropped pages is for the operator to go to the copier and process the pdf through the RIP. I know, so what? Well, when you have a dozen designers printing proofs it gets a little busy at the RIP as opposed to hitting "print" and picking their proofs up at the delivery tray.
But thanks to whoever suggested using Preview.

Acrobat 8 prints with margins n cutoff...i have tried different pg setup/default and not...sometimes rotating the image fixes it and seem not to matter which printer it prints to..Acro 7 doesn't do this...instead it prints with pg info within image. anyone have the address to report this problem. It's killing my production.

I print to a Xerox Docucolor 6060 to a 12x18 sheet every day, and have no problems, as long as you go to Page Setup and select the page size and printer. Standard procedure I thought, and it works great for me.
