Post by thread:[OT]: pdf problem

Can anybody offer help with this problem please. I'm having trouble printing .pdf files and right now I've got a pile of tech documents I need to. Printing's never been a problem in the past. Trying to print more than 1 page gives the error "Data required by the printer driver cannot be found or is corrupted. Restart Windows and try printing again" Explored - A selection of .pdf files that previously printed OK Re-install printer drivers Re-install Acrobat Reader 3.0 Upgrade to Acrobat Reader 4.05 Make sure \Windows\Temp folder exists Changing various options within Settings\Printers Check that other programs print OK All of the above again This a recent Win98 installation. Is there something in Win98 that I should know about ? I don't recall any special procedure for Win95. My feeling is that it's nothing to do with Acrobat or the printer but some sort of a spooling problem. I have 64MB memory and 9GB drive space free on a 233 PC Any and all help appreciated ***************** Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep

I've had a similar problem in the past, and while I can't offer a solution to you at the moment, I do have a temporary workaround. Try installing GSView (you'll need Ghostscript too) - and print PDFs from there. You can get GSView and Ghostscript from: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get29.html Kieran

I find that with my 6L I need to tell it to print the graphics in raster mode or the graphs come out black. of course this creates a HUGE spool file but its worth it to see the charts and graphs Damon Hopkins

I was impressed with the wide variety of converters at http://www.pdfzone.com/index.asp . I'm still looking, though, for a Windoze, DOS, or Unix (Sun) pdf to html converter I can run in a batch using command line parameters (similar to wo2html from http://www.res.bbsrc.ac.uk/wp2html/).
