fuzzy text from PDFPrint command line

2011/09/012011/09/21

VeryPDF PDFPrint v2.0
Build: Oct 30 2007

Hello,

We are having trouble with fuzzy text appearing on our documents that are printed with PDFPrint command line. When we print the same PDF with adobe reader, the text is clean. I wanted to know if there is a more recent build of our product, or if you know of something in the PDF that is causing the quality degradation. I’ve included a sample copy of a PDF generated from our QA environment that prints clean under adobe reader, but no so under PDFPrint command line. We love the product and this is the first quality issue we’ve ever had from it in the years we’ve used it.

As far as I know, we have not changed the method we use to generate the documents, or the font or internals of the original document. We merge data and documents in OpenOffice and use OpenOffice to generate the PDF. The fonts on the documents are all Arial. The only difference between the fuzzy and clear fonts that I can see is the clear ones are bold. We are using option in PDFPrint to print the files to a particular tray, printer and duplex, but nothing else. I can reproduce the fuzzy text when I use the following command: pdfprint -printer \\lifedev\sys_1 PWY0CKP2W10.pdf

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
===============================
Please download the latest version of PDF Print Command Line application from our website first,

https://www.verypdf.com/pdfprint/index.html

After you downloaded the latest version of PDFPrint Command Line product, you can add -raster2 parameter to print your PDF file to Windows Printer with best quality, for example,

pdfprint.exe -raster2 C:\verypdf-test.pdf

VeryPDF
===============================
Just to let you know that the new version fixed the fuzzy text. There was a margin issue but I managed to fix it using –printermargins.
We need to take out the evaluation watermark but we don’t know how to do it. Need your help.

Geoff is on vacation and I’m handling this for now.
===============================
Thanks for your message, the upgrade cost is 50% of purchase price, if you wish upgrade to latest version, please email to us your original Order ID, we will send the upgrade web page to you shortly.

Hello,

After installing the new version of pdfprint.exe, our billing document with a Western Life logo is not printing right. It shifted one line up and the agent name is now printed over the logo.

I’m attaching 2 files (odt file – doc containing merge tags and pdf – final document showing agent name printed on same line with the logo). Need immediate help as we are not mailing the bills for now until this problem is fixed.

Thanks.
=======================
Please add -raster2 parameter to try again, -raster2 parameter will print your PDF file at better quality,

Pdfprint.exe -raster2 C:\test.pdf

VeryPDF
=======================
Hello,

-raster2 parm was already added to the command and it did fix the fuzziness but it shifted the document 1 line up overwriting the pre-printed logo as you can see on attachment from my previous email.

Thanks.
=======================
Hello

More informations to help troubleshoot.

Please see attachments WLA001.pdf and WLA002.pdf.

WLA001.pdf
The command line I was using to print was:

pdfprint.exe -raster2 -printer WLA001.pdf

The document is shifting closer to the right side and bottom side cutting out some text on the bottom part of the document.

WLA002.pdf
The command line I was using to print was:

pdfprint.exe -raster2 -printermargins -printer WLA002.pdf

It fixed the bottom and right side but if we use the billing paper with pre-printed logo the line showing AGENT:Yvette Berard will print over the logo. Please check my previous email with attachment to check the document where it is over printing the logo.

Thanks.
=======================
Please add "-raster2 -printermargins" parameters to try again, will you work better with these parameters? For example,

pdfprint.exe -raster2 -printermargins C:\input.pdf

Map Fonts or Substitute Fonts during PCL to PDF conversion

2011/09/01

another font mapping problem for you.

In attachment you can find a pdf file and a pcl one. The second one (clear_buffer.pcl) must be compiled to obtain another pdf file "very similar" to the first page of the file "maggio_2011.pdf".

I tried, but can't obtain a right pdf, because some fonts are different.

I don't know how to create a right mapfont.ini file for this task.

Can you compile a pdf from the pcl file "similar" to the one in attachment? It's very important for me to do this, otherwise the library can't resolve my compilation problem.

Thanks in advance.
=================================
Thanks for your sample files, we will check your sample files and send an email to you shortly, thanks for your patience.

Disable "Auto merge all print jobs into one print job" function in mini EMF Printer

2011/09/01

Hi,

We have been using our customized driver in production, but there appears to be a problem with job isolation that affects more than just shared terminal servers. All operating systems are affected and we don't know how to fix it. We understand the support options, but at least we want to know if the problem is solvable before spending more money on a product that isn't working.

Problem:
If user prints multiple print jobs into the queue, emfcreator gets executed but instead of processing only one spool file into a job, it processes ALL spool files and merges them ALL into one job. The parameter bWaitUntilPreviousExeExit=1 doesn't seem to matter.

This is a serious problem because pages from two unrelated print jobs get combined and the user only sees one call to our application.

Reproduction:
Easiest way to reproduce without running a printing application is to
(a) Pause the VeryPDF Printer Queue, (b) Send a number of print jobs (even test pages work) that will create 2 or more distinct entries in the spool queue for the printer, (c) Unpause the queue. Observe that all jobs are processed by emfcreator at one time and the RunExe only gets called once for all the pages combined as if they were all printed at once.

We can grant you access to sandboxed test servers, but it looks like you should be able to easily reproduce this problem on your own computers.

Please let me know what you find out.

Thank you.
=====================================
Thanks for your message, this problem can be solved in a custom-build version of mini EMF Printer, we will disable "Auto merge all print jobs into one print job" in this custom-build version of mini EMF Printer product, the all print jobs will be processed one by one, one print job will call one instance of EMFCREATOR.EXE application to create EMF files, for example, if you send 10 print jobs to mini EMF Printer, mini EMF Printer will call EMFCREATOR.EXE 10 times, we think this solution will solve this problem to you, if you are interest in this solution, please feel free to let us know.

docprint pro

docPrint Pro v5.0 can not convert text files to PDF files

2011/09/012011/09/02

Our docPrint Pro 5 is converting everything except for txt files. Could you please help?
========================
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to you, we will research this problem shortly, we will let you know as soon as we have any finding on this problem.

In the meantime, you can simple rename .txt to .html or .doc filename to try again, doc2pdf.exe will convert .html or .doc file to PDF or other formats without any problem.

VeryPDF
========================
Hello VeryPDF,

We cannot convert the files in HTML or Doc in our automatic process. I’ve tried it manually and it worked fine but our automatic process cannot let us convert txt files to other formats.

We were using DocPrint Pro 3.2 before but had to upgrade for format reasons. Since we installed version 5.0 everything was working fine until we noticed the txt files are not converted. The GUI does not create any output file and the command line creates a response 0 without any output file as well. This is only for txt files.

I think it could be releated to configuration but we don’t know why. Could someone connect to our system so we can look into this more in details. This is starting to be urgent. We can also provide a web link and ID to connect to our system.

Thank you,
========================
In default, doc2pdf.exe does call notepad.exe to print your text files to PDF files, it seems the default associated application for .txt format has been changed in your system, this will cause doc2pdf.exe can’t call default notepad.exe to print the text file, you can reset the notepad.exe as the default printing application to .txt format, doc2pdf.exe will support .txt format properly.

Also, we have created a new version of doc2pdf.exe to you, please download the new version from following URL,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

please use new version of doc2pdf.exe to overwrite old version of doc2pdf.exe first first, you can run following command line to convert your text files to PDF files properly,

"C:\Program Files\docPrint Pro v5.0\doc2pdf.exe" -s PrintTXTMode=1 -i "D:\temp\EKA_US_EN_48.pdf.txt" -o d:\temp\out.pdf

The new version of doc2pdf.exe does support following options to print the text file,

-s PrintTXTMode=0: Default, use notepad to print text file
-s PrintTXTMode=1: Use MS Word to print text file
-s PrintTXTMode=2: Use Internet Explorer to print text file

We hoping “-s PrintTXTMode=1” or “-s PrintTXTMode=2” options will work better for you.

VeryPDF
========================
Hello,

Thank you for this. Everything works fine now with PrintTXTMode=1. We also tried PrintTXTMode=0 and this still did not work. For your information the PrintTXTMode=2 also worked but we have chosen Mode=1.

Note: We always had assigned the TXT file to notepad but there seems to be an issue with notepad. We have tested this once after assigning the txt file to MSWord and still did not work and reassigned it to notepad and nothing changed. The solution you have provided worked perfectly.

Thank you very much!
