I see that it is possible if I do 35 images on a sheet in the wallet size, but that is too small for me. Can this somehow be done for 9 images per sheet?

Our printer converts whatever it receives from the application, it does not make any changes upon the original file or program as it does not contain any options of this sort.</p> <p>Thank you for understanding. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/word-options-settings#post-4856 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:50:42 +0000 bettydev 4856@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for responding. I am using Internet Explorer 9, but just upgraded from ie8 last week. I now get (but don't want): animated text, tab marks don't show ( want them to show), print layout view (instead of normal), lots of "smart" editing, and probably a few other things. I print to pdf files from Outlook, Word, Excel (all Office 2003) and web sites - and do so often. After re-opening Word, I DO save the normal.dot template, and it stays that way for a day or two. I use Adobe Reader 9 for viewing the pdf files. I have tried to identify exactly what scenario changes the settings, but haven't been able to reproduce exactly when the changes occur. Any suggestions would be wonderful. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/dopdf-does-not-open-with-adobe-reader-x#post-4855 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:26:30 +0000 Softland 4855@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>We are not quite sure what you mean by opens but does not display. Can you send us a screenshot with this issue to our supports address at <a href="mailto:support@novaPDF.com">support@novaPDF.com</a> so we can have a look at this and try to replicate the issue? Also include the doPDF version you are using and the Windows OS version.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/preserving-document-layout#post-4854 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:02:31 +0000 aardvark 4854@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I'm a bit confused by what you say, but if I've understood correctly, if I've created a pdf file without embedding fonts and then open it on a computer which doesn't have one of the fonts available and my pdf reader substitutes a very different font, then the layout of the document may change.</p> <p>I have tried a bit of experimenting, and it is something that seems to vary with different pdf readers. I've only tried one or two documents, but Adobe seems to manage the font substitution reasonably well by adjusting the size of the font it uses to be as close as possible to the original one, thus maintaining the document layout pretty well. However, another pdf reader I tried made a very poor attempt - not just messing up the layout, but not even presenting anything readable.</p> <p>Different documents and fonts may of course produce different results. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/dopdf-does-not-open-with-adobe-reader-x#post-4853 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:36:17 +0000 harbor 4853@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>whenever I want to convert a document using dopdf, adobe reader x opens but does not display the document automatically. It used to do so but has stopped. Is there a way for it to do so. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/word-options-settings#post-4852 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:03:23 +0000 Softland 4852@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Normally when you print from a web browser to PDF, the Word application should not be affected by the conversion.</p> <p>Can you be more specific what settings are changed in the Word application when you print? Also can you tell us what web browser are you using for printing?</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/preserving-document-layout#post-4851 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:01:26 +0000 Softland 4851@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>The layout will not change if a different font is used when creating the PDF but if the PDF fonts are fairly different in size or length than the original font, they will not be shown correctly in the document after conversion. So it is recommended to use embed fonts every time you have a different font in the original file to preserve the way it looks in the PDF document after conversion, even if the size will be bigger.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/preserving-document-layout#post-4846 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 20:13:19 +0000 aardvark 4846@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I sometimes transcribe ancient documents into Word (.docx) files, and as far as possible try to preserve the layout of the originals - eg line and page breaks in the same place. Also for handwritten documents I sometimes use a mixture of fonts to represent different people's handwriting.</p> <p>When using doPDF to convert the files to pdfs, I find that if I embed the fonts the file size becomes vastly bigger than the original .docx file, so I tend not to embed fonts.</p> <p>What I would like to know is, if the fonts I used are not available when the pdf file is opened and the pdf reader chooses a substitute, will the layout of my document nevertheless remain exactly the same, or is it liable to change when different fonts are used? While it is not the end of the world for the fonts to be changed, it can matter a lot if the page layout changes.</p> <p>Please can anyone help with this? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/word-options-settings#post-4845 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 15:37:16 +0000 bettydev 4845@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I love doPDF, but when I print something from the Internet, it changes my Word options and settings.

If some user having this issue ask them to restart the FF with disable all Add-on and enable one by one, So it will tell them which particular Add-on is clashing with DoPDF. If this possible your developer check on this and provide the solution or I have to ask to IDM. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/system-freezes#post-4841 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:23:15 +0000 Softland 4841@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Can you please send us that exact link you tried to print and you got the system hang for so we can test that from our end. We tried different pages from different sources to test in Firefox but no errors or timeouts so far.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/system-freezes#post-4840 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 05:51:18 +0000 anu0512 4840@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I also having exactly the same issue DoPDF is crashing with Firefox and works fine with Chrome.

What we can suggest related tothe novaPDF 5 version error is for you to go to the registry path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ , find the novaPDF 5 entry and remove it from there.</p> <p>Regarding novaPDF 6 there is also a registry key you need to find and remove but that one depends on the OS so it would be the best to just search the registry editor for any novapdf 6 values and remove those. Additionally, go to the Devices and printers area, click on any of the printers, click on the Print server properties button , go to drivers and remove the dopdf 6 value if present.</p> <p>If this does not work either then there must be some other applications installed that use the printers one way or another and prevented them from uninstalling so an accurate test case for troubleshooting cannot be made from here unfortunately.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/unclean-uninstall-event-viewer-errors#post-4837 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:15:13 +0000 occam 4837@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I have already been through this cycle twice. I re-installed doPDF5, rebooted, made sure the Event error had disappeared, then I uninstalled it - first with the built-in uninstaller, and on a second round with Revo-Uninstaller (set at its most aggressive mode).</p> <p>Alas, after each cycle, the Event error has re-appeared soon after uninstall. </p> <p>(I did the same two cycles with doPDF6 also.)</p> <p>In both cases the Event error disappeared after install, but re-appeared after uninstall.</p> <p>I am baffled! </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/unclean-uninstall-event-viewer-errors#post-4835 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 09:00:10 +0000 Softland 4835@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Please install and uninstall each of the versions again by using our uninstaller from the add remove programs. Also make sure you restart your computer after each uninstallation. There may have been some leftovers either in the registry or the printer drivers.</p> <p>So typically install v5 from <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf-5.exe" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf-5.exe</a> , restart the pc, then uninstall it and restart the PC again. After that install v6 from <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf-6.exe" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/download/setup/dopdf-6.exe</a> , restart , uninstall it and restart again. </p> <p>Eventually after all this is over you can also search for any remaining files using the link you specified in the previous post. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/unclean-uninstall-event-viewer-errors#post-4833 Mon, 16 Jan 2012 19:09:56 +0000 occam 4833@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi</p> <p>I was running doPDF on my Win 7 Sp1 for a while (dopdf5, doPDF6, doPDF7)</p> <p>I recently uninstalled the latest doPDF, and discovered that I have two 'Event Viewer' (administrative event errors) remaining from previous doPDF5 and doPDF6 installs which I cannot shake off:</p> <p>1- (regarding doPDF5) The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module dopdfmn5.dll, error code 0x7e. See the event user data for context information.</p> <p>2-(regarding doPDF6) Printer doPDF v6,0 failed to initialize because a suitable doPDF 6 Printer Driver driver could not be found. The new printer settings that you specified have not taken effect. Install or reinstall the printer driver. You might need to contact the vendor for an updated driver.</p> <p> I have already tried the 'completely uninstall-procedure' under the FAQ here<br /> <a href="http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/completely-uninstalling-dopdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/completely-uninstalling-dopdf</a></p> <p>It has not got rid of the problem.<br /> I have also tried re-installing and uninstalling these two with RevoUninstall.
