Heroes of the Streets PDF printing issue


Pathfinder Player Companion


Greetings!

I got this as a PDF and went to print it out and it wouldn't print out start from page one. Eventually, I figured out that if I started from page 7 of the pdf, labeled 5 in the book, that I could print the rest of the book no problem. This was with a double sided printer.

Playing with it more, this is what I found.

Adobe will not print page one, no matter what I do. It fails on flattening and won't print.

Adobe won't print any double sided attempts with page one. Won't happen.

Adobe won't print page three and four as a double sided page. It just fails to go to the printer. I don't even see it show up in my printer spooler.

Adobe will print page two as a single page but not page three as a single page.

Adobe will print page four as a single page.

Adobe will print page five and six (labeled nothing and page 4 in the PDF) as double sided if printed by themselves.

I did have it still in a zip archive and so upzipped and tried it again with the same results.

Finally, I used FoxIt and that printed the first six pages double sided (although that's more of a printer setting, I'm sure) first time.

(Please note that Adobe will use absolute pages with numbers whereas FoxIt will use the document's internal number system when printing pages.)

Just in case this helps anyone else.


Glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem. Bought the PDF in 2022, so they haven't fixed the file since you first reported it in 2015!

After a little more snooping, my issues were solved by choosing the "Print as Image" option in the printer advanced settings window.
