When printing a PDF-document, I only get errors!

Something is going wrong when the page is converted to Postscript (for instance the Ladok-intyg).

Before you send the document to the printer, choose "Advanced".


Change "Postscript Options" -> "Language" to "Language Level 1"

-----

An alternative solution is to convert the pdf to ps before sending it to the printer. This is only a UNIX-solution.

  • Save your pdf on your home-directory on unix, this is "h:" if you are running Windows. For example "intyg.pdf"
  • log on to a unixmachine.
  • Run: pdf2ps intyg.pdf intyg.ps
  • Then send it to the printer: lpr -P<printer> intyg.ps
    and of course change <printer> to the printername of the printer which is closest. For example if you are in Ma316, then the printername is "Ma316ps".

    Now it should print.
