Ubuntu :: Cannot Print PDFs From Acrobat Or Evince
Jun 1, 2010
Ubuntu 9.04 and a Konica 2430 DL on USB. I can get a Ubuntu test page from the printer management screen (printout says GPL. Postscript version 3010 revision 864) and I can print from Firefox. I cannot print PDFs from either Acrobat or Evince. The print jobs show up as completed in the print jobs list.
I find that some pdf files will not print properly in 32-bit 10.04 using evince. The document is sent to the printer and then the printer simply flashes and never prints the document (I have waited an hour). The same documents *will* print quickly when I print with acrobat reader, although when using reader the the following error message appears in the terminal:
I've been using pdfTk to encrypt PDFs for distribution to unsophisticated users (that is, users without PGP keys or the will to get one). RC4 encryption, although reasonably adequate for my use, is relatively insecure. I would be more comfortable with AES. Have any gnu tools emerged that implement AES within a PDF container?
Using Ubuntu 10.10. I cannot set Firefox to open PDFs with evince. Actually I have no idea where it grabs mime info from. I know I could manually choose /usr/bin/evince or something, but isn't there a way to make Firefox simply see what my desktop settings are, or at least offer me the choices?
I have openSUSE 11.2, 64 bits. I use Evince from the very beginning. Since a few weeks, when I want to open a .pdf file, Acrobat Reader appears and reads my file. It seems to have become the default reader now. However, I never wanted to change from Evince :this simple program is well enough for me. I tried various ways, but I can't define Evince as my default .pdf reader. How can I make Evince to become my default reader again please ?
I've been having a problem with printing a particular pdf file from Evince. The pdf is opened and displayed correctly but when I want to print all I get is sheets with only punctuation marks on them. These punctuation marks correctly correspond to what is in the document but all the text in between them is not printed.
When printing in evince I cannot print on 2 sides. If I select the printer options only 1 side is available (Page Setup Tab, under layout two-sided has only 1-sided available. I have the same with gedit. So far all other apps are fine. Are these 2 apps unable to print 2 sided for some reason, or am I possibly missing something?
I have installed some pdf readers on my notebook, and the one I most liked was evince. But there are two available evince packages: evince and evince-gtk. What is the difference between them? Does one of them have advantages as to the other?
Tech support installed a new computer for me at work yesterday and it's running 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10. I succeeded in installing Adobe Reader 9 (I need to review PDF documents in a number of PDF readers including Adobe as part of my job) but I can't open any PDFs using Reader. I ran "acroread" in the shell and it rendered this output:
Code: (acroread:17035): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (1179128842) I've tried Googling all this, but nothing helpful has been forthcoming.
How can I install Adobe's Acrobat Reader?I use thi terminal commandsQuote:sudo apt-get install acroread acroread-pluginsoem@freekbox:~$ sudo apt-get instal informationDonePackage acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package.This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, orisy available from another sourceE: Package acroread has no installation candidate
occurring seemingly randomly, every once in a while I open a pdf and find out that all my custom settings (toolbar buttons, etc.) have been wiped out. Also, as soon as I open the pdf I'm asked to accept the licence, that I had previously accepted.It's about the second time it happens in about a week. My acrobat version is 9.3.4.
Gnome Do as default on my machine tries to run pdfs and they won't open when run but when I tab over and select open it's fine. Can this default be changed and how.
Somehow in the last couple of days, my adobe acrobat reader quit working online. I can read pdf files on my computer, but if try to access one through my google browser, I get a blank page. What can I do to fix? I tried downloading the most recent update of adobe but when I went to run the program I get an error message indicating there is no program to open the update file.
Is their a program in ubuntu that can match adobe acrobat 9 pro extended?Or what is the best ubuntu PDF program, that can allow the most features seen in adobe acrobat 9 pro extended.
how I can get elinks to open pdfs using xpdf? I know that there are other browsers/pdf programs but I'm using this across the internet and this seems to be the lowest bandwidth option!
I read few threads from 2006, and at that time it seemed there was no good way to save a PDF which had data input in the form fields. Has this changed? Printing is not really an option, since I won't fill these forms in one sitting. When I save with Ubuntu's default PDF viewer, the form field data does not seem to be saved along with the PDF.
I just saw library application of ipad, and i am wonder if there is any application for ubuntu like that?I searched on web and found somethings like :
alexandria calibre
but these apps just show some data of e-books like author, publishers , ...i need something that adds pdf files that are IN MY HARD drive presents them and lets me to read them
i am trying to open shared pdfs through samba with Adobe Acrobat but nothing seems to happen with evince i cant open shared pdfs successfully in windows i can open the shared pdfs with Acrobat successfully
I am trying to install the adobe reader in Fedora 14 using yum. When I try this I get a list of packages that also need to be installed. What do I do? I tried to remove avahi-libs-0.6.27-2.fc14.i686, but it wanted to also remove 200+ other things.Needless to say I declined the removal.
Interesting problem: For the first time with Xubuntu 10.10 64bit, I am finding certain applications print corrupt. A varying amount of letters / numbers either get substituted/print a blank space/ print a box etc etc. This corruption seems to happen from a Pdf ( evince ) or Spreadheet ( Gnumeric ) Opening the same Pdf on another machine (ubuntu 10.10 32bit) prints perfectly. Opening the same .xls file on the original computer but using OOo Calc prints perfectly.
I guess I have ruled out any problems with the printer itself or the network JetDirect box. I have re-installed CUPS and evince and upgraded to the latest version of HPLIP but the problem appears unchanged.
I cannot print pdf files. I have tried using okular and xpdf. The documents display in the program, but print preview shows a blank page. The printer then sends out blank pages. I have tried printing on 2 different printers using usb cables. Using terminal to process the commands shows error:
My wife has a canon MP470 printer and running ubuntu 10.10. I am able to print black and white, but unable to print photos. I got it to work using another driver, but not the 'correct' one for this printer. I have searched a bit and don't see anything about ubuntu 10.10, just older versions. Or should I just network her to my printer....?
I'd like to be able to change the program that downloaded PDFs open with in Firefox. I'm using Gnome. Currently, when I double click on a PDF in the downloaded file list, it opens up in Adobe Reader, even though evince is currently the default in nautilus. How I can change it so that downloaded files are opened with evince?
