Printing to Acrobat PDF

Try printing at bar chart view using print icon, not in print preview..I think..

If you have Acrobat then load SP4 and create a local printer port in Acrobat properties with a short path.

Add printer - Adobe PDF and make as default printer.
Go to P3 printer set-up and select Adobe PDF. Go to P3 & click save toolbar.

Click printer tool bar of P3.

Don’t use pull down menu i.e. pull down file menu then click print command. Instead, click the print icon only.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all for your input.

Not printing from print preview has worked

Cheers

Funny enough, mine is a Dell lap top to, never had the problem with Toshiba’s. However, I can you PDF for everything else, Word, Excel, MS Project, PowerProject. It just would not work with P3 when in printing from print preview.

P3 is 16 bit and cannot handle the long paths used by 32 bit software. Load P3 Service Pack 3 and then go into Acrobat properties and create a new port with a short path e.g C:\P3\OUT.

Then it will work OK, just set the default printer before you start printing.

Yes, Paul is absolutely right. P3 is an old software running on 16 bit and is no longer compatible with the latest softwares running on 32 bits.

Another solution is to download cute.pdf from the internet and this works perfectly with P3.

Hi there,

I was faced with the same problem and installed PDF creator and it works perfect.

I use the same software as Ashraf and it works fine. We have Adobe writer available here but it was too much of a faf for direct from P3 printing. No problems printing from preview either.

I do still use Adobe Acrobat to bind different prints together to make a full presentation though.

Just click on the print icon instead of using the file/print commands, this work for me.

hi everybody,

am new on the plannet. Can anybody tell me why primavera takes a longer time to convert the files to Pdf. is this because of RAM of your system or am i the only one facing the problem? plz respond

regards

Never faced this kind of problem!!

Gets converted in few seconds

Find this adobe software "adobe distiller 5", install it to your computer and it works fine. I’ve been using this for more than a year and i did not encounter problem.

Hi
I just had the same message. Simple reason: It is a new pc and I forgot to install SP2. So I installed SP3 - the recent one - PDF-printout works fine.

Go to your printer settings, set Adobe PDF Printer as your default printer, go to your program, edit whatever you want in page setup. Then close and click the printer icon in the main page.
This should work!

Hi Mirna,

I have tried this it works but the fonts are distorted.

That is the reson I am using PDF Creator.

Ashraf

Hi ASHRAF,

I confirm your asumption on PDF creator, it caused me a lot of trouble in the past.
What you should try is to only print the page distorted and to incorporate them in your master pdf file.

I have not had this problem with PDF creator, it works fine for me and I just use it on the default settings (at least I think I do...)

James,

I can’t remind but do you have possibility to modify settings and thus graphic print quality, in order to increase it to 1200dpi for example,
