PDF Printing problems

Mon Nov 30, 2009 3:52 pm
Using kubuntu & Konica Minolta 2530 printer

Okular refuses to print more than 1 copy (also does not give odd/even choice)

XPDF does not even give page selection option or copies option

gv crashes my system.

Are there other choices?

Think it's 4.2 maybe 4.3. What's the easy way to find out?

Anyway it's whichever is standard in Kubuntu 9.10

You can find out from any KDE application: Help > About KDE.

Does Kubuntu still support KDE3? If so KPDF will do what you want.

Thanks, it's 4.3.2

Thanks. I installed libpoppler2_0.6.4-1ubuntu3.4_i386.deb and kpdf_3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1.1_i386.deb. So far seems to work OK.

Pity about Okular, it has some nice features but if it can't print more than one copy or select odd/even it's no use to me.

Hi All,

I am a newbie and I have a problem. My query is:

I am getting an error messages when attempting to print PDF from Acrobat 9 (CS4):

"The document could not be printed."

"There were no pages selected to print."

Where dose this problem come from... The program that generated it (inDesign CS4)

If I can't deliver a printable PDF from inDesign to clients than I will need to find another option than the industry standard (Adobe) software.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It's a long time since I used acrobat but I seem to remember there were the options to select on the print menu like "print all", "print range" have you by any chance selected none of these (I wouldn't have thought that possible 'cos I'd expect "all" to be a default).

Some pdf system I've used you had to tick in a little square under the page thumbnail on the left side for each page you wanted. Could that be in your case.

Probably not helpful but not used acrobat for ages.

Any PDF produced by inDesign should be viewable in any PDF viewer unless it has some really recent feature which other PDF viewers don't support. I think that is unlikely because most printers (that is, machines that print) actually use older versions of PDF rather than Adobe's most recent version.

I have certainly had no difficulty opening an inDesign PDF in KPDF.
