How to position a PDF document in Preview?

I've got a PDF ready-to-plot document. It's an architectural drawing on a A1 sheet and I have to print it on my machine which is not equipped with A1 sheets, but with a roll feed 42" wide (namely 1067 mm), set as a custom size (by a custom editable lenght of 150 cm), as shown in the attached screenshot.
The thing is: I'd like to save paper by moving the drawing on the bottom of the preview sheet, in order to get the plotter printing the image first and then stopping. While navigating the preview options I haven't seen any setup for changing the position of the printed area on the sheet. Is it really missing??
Other than creating an ad-hoc landscape oriented A1 (I believe it might be rotated from the application itself, but I didn't find out how!) that will fit the actual paper size, how can I solve this? Should I use a PDF specific app (such as Adobe Reader) to set the position parameter?
Thanks!

Found out how: I currently print on a PDF A0 sheet.

Preview has limited PDF editing capability. You can get a lot more on:
http://www.pdfescape.com/
or with Wondershare's PDF Editor.
Adobe Acrobat Pro is the most expensive solution.
Since you posted under iMac PPC forum, which is for iMacs that can't run any operating system newer than August 28, 2009, I can't say specifically what the capabilities of your version of Preview are. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. If you have an Intel, you do not have a PPC. If you have a G5, G4 or G3, you posted to the right forum, and just need to find the version of Preview you have in Applications folder.

No. I am able to use the other features such as underlining, highlighting, adding rectangles and oval and save those changes.

There's actually just a "Save a Version" selection, which does not apparently do anything. It's not like "Save As" used to be where it gave you a dialogue box to rename the document. It just saves the original document with only one pdf, and not the other...

Hi olivias,
It sounds like there may be some confusion on your system about what application should be associated with PDF files. You can reset filename associations by following the steps in these articles (depending on your operating system):

Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Encrypting PDF documents in Preview

If you try to encrypt a PDF document in Preview by selecting the encrypt checkbox in the Save As panel, you might find that when you re-open the encrypted document, any forms that you filled out in the document have garbled characters instead of the text. This appears to be a bug to me.
To encrypt a PDF document that contains a form that you filled out with the Preview application:
1. Choose "Print..." from the File menu.
2. In the sheet that appears, choose "Save as PDF..." from the PDF button in the lower left corner.
3. In the Save panel that appears, click the "Security Options..." button in the lower middle of the panel.
4. Complete the panel that appears according to the security restrictions you want.
5. Save the PDF from the Save panel in step 3.
When you open the document back up, you will be prompted for passwords according to the restrictions you specified. The document's entered text should be just as you saved it.
*Warning: If you choose to password protect the ability to print the document, and re-open the encrypted document and try to print it, it asks you for the password. Even if you enter the password, the document won't print. The encryption permissions in the Inspector floating panel for the document will also say that you don't have the ability to print. Seems like another bug.*
I would think that encrypting a document should also give you the ability to password protect it. Having to act like you're printing the document seems unintuitive. I hope these bugs get fixed soon.

No sense posting here unless you have a problem. If you want to report this to Apple, either send Feedback or send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Annotating pdf documents in Preview - the text search feature doesn't work?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to annotate my pdf documents using preview. However, I realized the other day that as soon as I start annotating a document (with notes, shapes, highlighting, etc), the preview text search doesn't work anymore.
Thanks for any help or advice!

This is a known problem. I have seen one suggestion to print the annotated PDF as a new PDF in order to get search capability back. You can try the Apple Discussions "search" feature at the upper right corner to look for more suggestions.

Merging pdf documents in Preview while maintaining OCR capability

...isn't working. I can copy text from the individual pdf's, but when I merge them, the OCR text is replaced with "_". This happening to anyone else? This is happening on more than one Mac here at the office.
I'm opening one file, expanding the sidebar, then dragging each subsequent file ONTO the page of the original. Then I save-as and that's the result I'm getting.

Thanks Linc. This document seems a misleading. I'm not sure what the combining of PDFs in this manner is supposed to do, but it does not seem to merge the files.
After the three documents are brought together in one, you end up with three separate documents combined in one Preview window, which is handy for looking at them, but not for much else.
When you close the window you still have three separate documents. The title "Combining PDF documents using Preview" seems quite misleading.

Ah ok,
then the only way I know is to get hold of some one with skills in Smart Forms, and alley up with them. Or better yet, use it as an excuse to learn to do it your self
With a Smart Form, you can parse data into it, create the file, and then use the GOS functionality to attatch it to your BO. All this in back ground!
Kind regards

How to include several PDF documents into just one file?

I have a Word document with 6 pages that I saved in PDF.
I wanted to transform the entire document in JPEG (JPG) immage, so that I could use it in other tools, such as Facebook for example.
The problem is that using Adobe Photoshop it opens and saves page by page.
Can you give me s solution or hint?

Thank you!
I already saved all pages as .pdf w/ Acrobat and have all 6 pages saved in
.jpg, using Photoshop.
Problem is that I want to post the whole text in my Facebook page, and to
have it in six pieces is not quite readable...
Thanks anyway and have a joyful Xmas!
