Additional Information for Submitting PDF Files
-
This application supports the following types of PDF files:
-
PDF files created using genuine applications by Adobe Systems (PDF versions 1.3 to 1.7).
-
PDF files created using the scanner function of the devices listed in the Printer Connector Readme.
If you use a PDF file that was not created with the applications or devices specified above, the file might not be imported into the application or some functions of the application might not be available.
-
-
This application does not support PDF files with XFA forms created using applications such as Adobe LiveCycle Designer. Before importing a PDF file into this application, convert the file so that it does not contain XFA forms. For example, you can use Adobe Distiller to convert the file.
-
When a job is created from a Microsoft Office document, this application imports the output generated by Adobe Distiller. If Adobe Distiller does not convert the document correctly, the input received by this application is incorrect.
You can try to convert the original document to PDF in Microsoft Office using a feature such as PDFMaker before submitting it.
-
If you open a PDF file or Microsoft Office document with a page size larger than 330.2 × 487.6 mm (13 × 19.2 inches), this application reduces the size to the largest paper size available for the target printer.
By default, the original aspect ratio is maintained when the size is reduced. You can change this setting on the Preferences screen.
For additional information about support for long paper, see Setting Long Paper Support.
-
If the PDF file is created with Adobe Illustrator, the preview of the file might be shifted incorrectly. To fix the problem, you can try to save the data as a new PDF with the Save as function in this application. Then, you can create the job from the saved PDF file.
