I was going to contact software informer and let them know, but I would have to register and all that and I'm afraid I was too lazy. ;-)<br /> DR </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/zip-vs-jpeg-high-quality#post-4690 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 08:08:08 +0000 Softland 4690@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>The information on the Software Informer website is not correct unfortunately. What we have explained in our previous reply is the correct handling for the image compression.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/zip-vs-jpeg-high-quality#post-4689 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:16:37 +0000 drwin 4689@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Thank you for a quick response. I'm still a bit confused. I based my comments on the following:<br /> ............<br /> <a href="http://dopdf-printer.software.informer.com/" rel="nofollow">http://dopdf-printer.software.informer.com/</a><br /> What's new in version 7.2<br /> It contains one important feature, now on the Save As dialog you will be able to select between a "Small file" and a "High quality images" filter. Each of these filters uses basically a different compression engine for the documents:<br /> - Normal ZIP compression for the Small file filter<br /> - High JPEG compression for the High quality images filter<br /> By default the "Small file" filter will be selected, but if you're not happy with the quality of the images in the resulting PDF, then you should use the other filter (which increases the size of the resulting PDF).<br /> ...........<br /> Based on what you've posted, the above information from "software.informer.com", which I obtained online is totally incorrect. Just want to make sure that this is the case.<br /> Thanks<br /> DR </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/zip-vs-jpeg-high-quality#post-4685 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 07:26:38 +0000 Softland 4685@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>1. This is in fact the other way around. The ZIP method compresses the file less but keeps the quality of the image, as the jpg method actually processes the image as well besides compressing it more than the ZIP method. So this is the other way around as you have explained it.</p> <p>2. We cannot predict how the image will be processed by the jpeg procedure besides compressing it to save file size unfortunately. You will have to mix and match to see which method suits best for your needs.</p> <p>Thank you. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/zip-vs-jpeg-high-quality#post-4680 Sat, 29 Oct 2011 20:36:59 +0000 drwin 4680@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I want to print as PDF, and upload (to a print-on-demand publisher) a long word document with dozens of photos in it. The images are NOT embedded or inserted, they are linked to file, so that the images have the same ppi as the original files (300ppi). I have done this several times, using dopdf and selecting the "smaller file" option (which results in a 58MB file). (The dopdf "higher quality image" option yields a 97MB file which takes a long time to upload.)</p> <p>The 58MB files have always been accepted by the publisher, with all images retaining the original 300ppi. However, after making some editorial changes and re-submitting, the publisher now tells me that the images that were previously 300ppi have gone from 300ppi to as low as 170ppi. I did not change any of the images. I did add some images. My questions:</p> <p>1. It is my understanding that the "smaller file" option creates a zip file, while the "higher quality image" option creates a jpeg file. Is this true?</p> <p>2. Since previous files with fewer (up to 70) images have always retained their original 300ppi, and the drastic, across-the-board reduction in ppi occurred for the first time after adding a few (4) images, there seems to be a cutoff point beyond which the "smaller file" option begins to degrade the images. Is this true?</p> <p>3. Any insights as to what would cause this sudden change would be most appreciated.</p> <p>Misc: Running Win7, Word 2007; image ppi as per Photoshop on my end and whatever the publisher is running on their end. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/print-pdf-dash-line-becomes-solid#post-4548 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:02:00 +0000 Softland 4548@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>All we can say at this time is that we have followed the Microsoft guidelines in implementing the specifications and technology for doPDF.</p> <p>Thank you for understanding. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/print-pdf-dash-line-becomes-solid#post-4546 Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:09:31 +0000 PatrickP 4546@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi All,</p> <p>We're developing a Charting application. We have an option for our client to print our Chart to PDF file. We have problem with dash lines and grid lines that has width more than 1 pixel. Printing with any application other than doPDF would result the dash line becomes solid line. We are thinking about recommending doPDF as a preferred PDF printing Software for our application, but I think we need to know a little more about why it is working. Only then, we could recommend our client to use doPDF because "it comes with &lt;such and such&gt; technology". Do you have anything in mind what is your key technology that makes this works?</p> <p>Thanks in advance,<br /> Patrick </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-print#post-4427 Tue, 14 Jun 2011 06:55:22 +0000 Softland 4427@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Unfortunately you will have to modify the original document colors and print it again to make the changes on the background. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/pdf-print#post-4424 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:41:40 +0000 zileut 4424@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>How can print a PDF file with red background and yellow letter to a PDF with white background and black letter? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cant-pring-error-creating-pdf-file#post-4392 Thu, 26 May 2011 06:54:18 +0000 Softland 4392@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>Please try to save the file in another folder with a different name if possible.

Loaded to my new computer and doPDF to loaded properly, however, when I attempt to print I get this error msg - "error creating pdf file (the process cannot access the file because it is in use by another process)" I have NOTHING else open.

Anyone knows if I can VBa /macro to print within excel?</p> <p>The reason why I can't do it manually because single packing list will be generated one at a time, then send to PDF creator to print as file, then move on to next one.. I have successfully created this with another pdf software ("PDFCreator") but the problem is when I copy &#38; paste the text within the pdf file, the character turns into weird symbols.</p> <p>Note: on single sheet*<br /> Processes: create single packing list on sheet "X" &gt; print as PDF &gt; create next single packing list &gt; print as PDF till end of orders.</p> <p>Thanks ahead!<br /> AM. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/html-print-problems#post-663 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 11:29:35 +0000 angelheart 663@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>thank you so much guys.</p> <p>I guess I have to get used to using 2 browsers and print/preview in landscape mode. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/html-print-problems#post-661 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:53:33 +0000 Softland 661@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Melvin is right, this isn't a problem with dopdf, in this case is firefox so better use IE for this one. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/html-print-problems#post-659 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 00:26:10 +0000 Melvin 659@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I'm not sure what browser you're using, but I'd guess it might be Firefox. I love Firefox, but it does have problems with printing pages like this.</p> <p>I just tried Firefox on the first link, and did a print preview. I could see the same problems that you described without printing. It's not a problem with doPDF.</p> <p>I then switched over to Internet Explorer. Print preview shows the complete page if I switch over to Landscape (instead of Portrait) page format. Also, sometimes I'll change the "Shrink To Fit" option to something like 70% to catch all of the graphics that sometimes gets cut off.</p> <p>I tried the second link, and I was able to successfully view and print the page (63 pages using Firefox 3.0.7 and doPDF 6.2 Build 293 ... 49 pages with Internet Explorer). I didn't get any errors. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/html-print-problems#post-656 Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:10:00 +0000 angelheart 656@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>I cannot print the following website(s) properly.</p> <p>Is this a problem with dopdf ?</p> <p>tales-of-pirates-gold.com/viewthread.php?tid=139&#38;extra=page%3D1</p> <p>some gfx, pages dont show or images cut off edge. how to know the correct page margins ?</p> <p>some guides are on more that one page, so i have to join 2 or more pdfs to make 1.</p> <p>This link has scroll data, but the data in the scroller does not get printed.</p> <p>piratekingonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6915</p> <p>no intelligent or user request page break, mangled page format :( </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cannot-find-xobject-error-ms-project-printing#post-385 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 13:47:26 +0000 Softland 385@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>hi, can you send the project file to info[]dopdf[]com so we could do some tests here to see if however there's something with dopdf? </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cannot-find-xobject-error-ms-project-printing#post-384 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 12:05:29 +0000 glverhoeven 384@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I have the same issue. I am running MS Project 2007, dopdf dowloaded today, and Adobe Reader 8. Also tried Adobe 9, where I get a different message: "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." Sadly, no details. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cannot-find-xobject-error-ms-project-printing#post-383 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 06:59:40 +0000 Softland 383@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi, if I'm not mistaken this issue was resolved by opening the pdf with a different pdf reader (or using the latest version of Adobe Reader). It seems this error is a pdf reader error rather than one in dopdf. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cannot-find-xobject-error-ms-project-printing#post-380 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:45:00 +0000 riotglide85 380@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Was this issue resolved? I am having the same issue with MS Project. </p> http://www.dopdf.com/forum/topic/cannot-find-xobject-error-ms-project-printing#post-206 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:54:57 +0000 Softland 206@http://www.dopdf.com/forum/ <p>Hi, can you send me the project (you can "strip" it to keep only the part that reproduces the error) to info[at]dopdf[dot]com?<br /> Also, have you tried opening the pdf with another pdf reader (like foxit)?<br /> I'm wondering if it's not an issue with the pdf reader rather than with dopdf. </p>
