Author Topic: .pdf document printing (Read 1093 times)

I'm having difficulty in getting a .pdf document to print properly. The document template prints out OK but the contents, which are clearly visible on the screen, just don't get printed. I have no problem with other .pdf files which are almost identical and use the same template! What's going wrong? :roll:

A bit of a guess, Clive, but it isn't one of those PDFs that are protected so that it cannot be printed? I downloaded a PDF "trial" a while ago that would have cost me £29.99 to buy. The author had protected it so that it wouldn't open beyond 14 days and couldn't be printed unless it was registered.

Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. No, it is meant to be printed off and I have never had any problems in the past. But I've just solved it now by comparing it to a similar document that prints out OK. In the "print" drop down menu the default (for that document) was "print document" but that only prints out the template. To print out the contents as well, you have to click on "print document with comments" and all is now well.

I doubt this is a fix.The other day I had someone that was missing a couple paragraphs on the print only and it was the view percentage on the PDF toolbar was set at 94% I changed it to 100% and it printed fine.Maybe it was something else I don't know?
