iText PDF not getting printed properly in Solaris

Rate this Message:
Hello,
I am using iText to generate a PDF and trying to print it.It is
properly getting printed from window/command prompt but prints garbage
from Solaris machine. I am using the latest iText Jar and the PDF
version is 1.4. I tried different path like creating the PDF in Solaris
box and print it using lp -d command. It was printing garbage. I then
used java print API and directly send stream to the printer form
Solaris box. Same result i.e. garbage. Everything is fine from Windows
box. Problem with Solaris only. Could you please tell me what could be
the reason.-- Thanx & Regards, Amitava Paul ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.

Maybe you're just printing the file without rendering it first. > I am using the latest iText Jar and the PDF > version is 1.4.

It's printing like this:
%%Version 1.2 %%CreationDate (Tue Jun 30 11:29:30 2009) %%For: ((oraappr2@<unknown host>)) %%Title: 'ssnum' (Oracle Toolkit Application) %%LanguageLevel:1 %%Requirements: numcopies(1) blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..blah..blah.. this is all about printing properties... this is not the actual output of the pdf.. the pdf file contains a simple text. "test print" that's it. but unfortunately that is not the output when I'm trying to print in solaris.

Saying that output is gibberish is equivalent to me saying your question is non sense. (But would such an answer help you solve the problem?) What you are showing is a postscript header. There's nothing wrong with the PDF. Nor is there anything wrong with Adobe. Except that Adobe assumes that you are printing to a PostScript printer. In other words: you've probably installed the wrong printer driver. Installing printer drivers on Solaris to print document created with an Oracle product is off-topic on the iText mailing list. br, Bruno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ |

This is not a joke. This is a problem that needs a good answer.
I might not using Itext but I'm relating it to PDF printing in solaris that prints garbage. I know that there is nothing wrong with my pdf file or ADOBE Acro because as I said it's working in windows and printing properly. But anyway with your answer "Except that Adobe assumes that you are printing to a PostScript printer." gives me an idea that it might be the reason why. Thanks for that. And sorry for posting my problem here in "ITEXT TOPIC" it's just somehow related to me about printing garbage. Regarding the oracle that's not the point.. just ignore that. It's not part of the problem.

Garbage is non sense; stuff without meaning; random characters. The snippet you posted makes perfect sense!!! It's syntactically correct! Do a proper install of your printer (driver) and the problem will disappear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ iText-questions mailing list iText-questions@... https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/itext-questions Buy the iText book: http://www.1t3xt.com/docs/book.php Check the site with examples before you ask questions: http://www.1t3xt.info/examples/ You can also search the keywords list: http://1t3xt.info/tutorials/keywords/ |
