The created pdf file has always all pages in portrait format, by distorting and sqeezing the landscape pages into portrait format.</p> <p>I verified the printing with CutePDF (which i don't like becaus of reqiring Ghostscript) and NitroPDF (which is not free, so no option for poor student), and both are producing outputs with the correct page orientation changes (using the same document, on the same computer). </p> <p>This happens with version 6.30 build 310 and build 311 (for older versions i don't know, won't go back)</p> <p>Other then that i really like DoPDF, is is my prefered PDF writer.

For printig preperation I made a pdf with dopdf build 308 and printed it in "Broschuere" mode, which means that two pages which are printed together are mounted at the same print page. For example page 1 and the last page or page 2 and the page before the last and so on.<br /> I had a lot of pictures in the text document. One of them I cutted in the text editor of OpenOffice because it was too large. Dopdf made a pdf-File where the picture have been cutted much more than I did it in OpenOffice. The size is as I want. The picture is zoomed. This effect does only occur in the "Broschuere" mode. In the normal mode (pages in "normal" order) the pdf is correct. An other pdf creator (PDFCreator) is doing this job correct. (It makes other trouble.)<br /> As a work around I cutted the picture with an external program before I mounted it into the text document and all is working well.<br /> I think there might be a bug between OpenOffice and dopdf. On all other aspects dopdf is a fine program and working very well. With the new build 311 the result is the same. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pages-printed-in-reverse-order#post-1058 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:19:40 +0000 MARIE2009 1058@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>When printing word document pages into pdf format I get a document with pages in reverse order. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/no-fonts-on-pc-display-device-but-a-block-with-a-cross-in-it#post-1054 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:47:40 +0000 Babs 1054@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi there,</p> <p>When my the customer opens the pdf on her pc.

This is as advertised and works well for my application. I recently converted to Vista x64 and the behavior is different: The first suggested folder is c:\users\(user name)... I do NOT have the "always use this folder" box checked. If I select a folder and write the pdf, any subsequent PDF writes for the current session goes to the folder I selected. However, If I close the document then reopen it and write a PDF, the suggested folder returns to c:\users\(user name).</p> <p>Did I miss a setup issue or does Vista x64 behave differently than XP.<br /> I personally really appreciated the suggested folder being the one the document came from.</p> <p>My Dopdf version is 6.3 build 308 </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/stuck-with-a4-format-instead-of-letter#post-997 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 19:33:52 +0000 Midseven 997@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I've been using doPDF and always loved it but I have a problem..</p> <p>Even if the paper format is set to Letter (8.5 x 11) in the printer settings (by default), the properties of the doPDF printer shows A4 as the available paper format.

If doPDF does not appear in your Printers and Faxes list after installation (or you get Printer not installed when trying to create PDFs), it means something went wrong with the installation. </p> <p>One of the possible reasons the installation failed is due to the fact that the Windows printer installer looks for the file <strong>framedyn.dll</strong> in the system path and does not find it (Microsoft shows solutions for that here too - <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;319114">Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 319114</a>). This DLL is supposed to be located under a <strong>wbem</strong> directory in <strong>system32</strong> and the system path is supposed to point to that directory.</p> <p>However it seems that under some installations, the system path contains a space character after the wbem directory or before it, which prevents Windows XP from finding this DLL, or in the <strong>Environment Variables</strong> the path to this directory is different than the one on your hard drive. </p> <p>Solution:</p> <ol> <li>Go to <strong>Start-&gt;Programs-&gt;doPDF 6</strong> and select <strong>Uninstall doPDF 6</strong></li> <li>Check to see if the path of that dll is <strong>c:\windows\system32\wbem </strong> with a space after wbem (or before it). If this is the case, please remove it and try reinstalling doPDF</li> <li>If that space isn't in there, copy the <strong>framedyn.dll</strong> file to the <strong>c:\windows\system32\</strong> directory and reinstall doPDF after that. </li> <li>If that doesn't work either, go to <strong>Start-&gt;Settings-&gt;Control Panel-&gt;System-&gt;Environment Variables</strong>, in the <strong>System Variables</strong> select <strong>Path</strong> and click on <strong>Edit</strong>. See if the path containing wbem (%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem by default) has the first letters of the <strong>system32</strong> and <strong>wbem</strong> folders the same case as the path on your hard drive, if not change them in this variable to match those of the hard drive. For example if on your hard drive the path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\wbem but in the system variable mentioned above it appears as %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem, you will have to change the latter to read %SystemRoot%\system32\wbem (notice the small caps). Reinstall doPDF after that.</li> </ol> <p>Since doPDF supports logged installation, these are some other errors shown in the log file when the installation fails due to the reason above:<br /> <em>FAILED to install driver: "doPDF 6 Printer Driver" Error = 126<br /> did not add "doPDF 6 Monitor" port monitor. Error = 3006<br /> FAILED to install printer: "doPDF v6" Error = 1797</em> </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/created-pfd-file-cannot-be-opened-1#post-959 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:00:51 +0000 kafidi 959@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> Everytime i create a pdf file with dopdf, as soon as i try to open it i get the following message</p> <p>(In Pdf Complete Wiewer) THE SELECTED FILE CANNOT BE OPENED<br /> (in Adobe Reader 9) ADOBE READER COULD NOT OPEN 'filename' BECAUSE IT IS EITHR NOT A SUPPORTED FILE TYPE OR BECAUSE THE FILE HAS BEEN DAMAGED</p> <p>Can anybody please help.</p> <p>I am running WinXP SP3 and have installed dopdf 6.0<br /> thanks </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/i-must-print-30000-pages#post-953 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 18:29:35 +0000 raffa 953@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi,<br /> i must print a big document (30.000 pages).<br /> When i tryed to print it after 4000 pages the dopdf printer quiu crash.<br /> Which is then max number of pages?<br /> Which is max of memory ammount?<br /> Help me ! ! !</p> <p>Tanks &#38; regards</p> <p>Raffaele<br /> PS Sorry for my bad english<br /> R. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/unwanted-url-and-info-at-top-of-pdf#post-952 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 00:27:27 +0000 Sondi 952@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>How can I remove the unwanted information in the form of date, url and so on that runs across the top of the pdf pages? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pages-print-in-reverse-order#post-954 Mon, 17 Aug 2009 22:38:39 +0000 blustery2010@yahoo.ca 954@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>This has to be a simple fix that I'm missing.

If a worksheet spills over onto more than one page, then page 1 is fine within the pdf file, but page 2 invariably prints out small scale at top left hand corner of the next page. Then the pdf file reverts to normal page size for the next worksheet page in the sequence. I checked page size and dpi - all set to A4, 300dpi so that's not the problem. Couldn't find solution so cut and pasted large worksheet into four smaller worksheets, all taking 1 page. This time the first 3 pages were fine, but page 4 in the sequence again printed small at top left hand corner. I'm going mad here, can anyone help?
