RE: Random problem printing PDF files generated on iSeries

Hi Allen,

        Just to verify your experience, I have had a similar experience.  I
tried a lot of things without a definite fix.  It did however just stop
happening. (knock on wood)  Sorry I can't be more help...

On a rare occasion when the user prints (from adobe acrobat
reader) all the characters on the page are garbled up.

The correct number of characters are printed and they print in the correct
location but it is totally unreadable because the characters are 

Randomly transposed.

And this happens rarely and it's not specific to one PDF file

 

The user can select to print again (still has file open in Acrobat Reader)
and it may print garbled again or it may print fine.

The users know if the page is garbled to just print again until it prints
fine (usually takes 3-4 prints).

Then everything is fine for weeks.

 

All of this without closing Acrobat Reader.

It happens on different printers (not strictly occurring on a specific
printer)

 

Anybody ever seen anything like this?

 

Allen
