momsuz123 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 The letters all come out crazy? The words that should be there are all crazy. Do you know how to fix this because I really love some things on that site? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is always happy to help over HSS Thanks but who is Ami? I tried to email the administrator and my email got kicked back due to a message delivery failure. Any ideas?

teeniebeenie6 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Are you on a Mac? My Mac automatically defaults to the Preview program and if I print a .pdf it messes up the document. If I open the .pdf with Adobe Reader then it prints normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have dh look into this - I am known as computer challenged.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kolamum Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I posted a link to this thread on HSS for Ami ;) But, while they look into it, you could try looking for them on FaceBook {Homeschool Share} to get direct answers to your problem. Having said that if you opened something in preview and it looked icky open it in Adobe, all though I've never had issues opening anything from HSS in preview here.

ChrissySC Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 There are two kinds of drivers for printing. GDU for Windows and Post Script .... I would say you have corrupted or not loaded the correct driver for printing PDF documents. You may have a corrupted Print Spooler folder too - I mean while you are Googling problems. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks girls. I tried saving it first as a pdf and then printing from there, and it works! But if I just hit print right away, then it is all crazy. Hmmm. At least the first part fixed the problem. I will look into this naughty print spooler thing too. Thanks so much!!!

ChrissySC Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It sounds like your browser does not have a default pdf viewer. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay3fer Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have a similar problem sometimes. In my case, it's because I'm using an "older" PC (ca 5 years?) that is usually running a lot of programs simultaneously, and there just wasn't enough memory to render the letters properly for printing. One person had the same issue with a PDF that she bought from me, and I suggested that she either print from another computer or try closing every other running application when she went to print. Shutting down and restarting, then printing right away, can be helpful in ensuring that nothing else is running. I find that if I close everything but Adobe Reader, it works fine, but in a HUGE document, it might not. The reason it might have worked if you printed to a PDF printer, by the way, is perhaps that that process strips the layers and complexity from the PDF file and the resulting file could be smaller and less complex to render for printing. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
