Printing a PDF at a larger page size

Proabably an easy fix but I hit a wall,  my document is 13"x19" and I want to print it out full frame on our 4880 but it keeps defaulting to 8.5x11", how can I change the page size (or where) so it prints the full 13"x19"s?
Thanks

I have a similar problem, question related to this thread. Even though I have set up Adobe Acrobat 8 to print to my Epson 1400 at Super-B size (even using custom size of 13x19") in page set-up, it seems to be printing my page like it's a 'cropped 8.5x11" page. No matter what I have tried, I can't get this to print full-page. It was working last week (or a few weeks agoand it's possible that the last OS patches screwed this up somehow maybe. I can't recall when I printed and when the other installs were done. It will print fine from Photoshop, full page (as I did that last week).
I am using a Mac, OS 10.5 latest version, and I have uninstalled, and resinstalled the epson print drivers, removed and added the printer from the OS, trashed Adobe Acrobat's prefs, restarted my computer and acrobat... and I'm at the end of my rope not being able to think of anything else to try. Any help or suggestions on this one? I'm stumped and need to print these pages out properly! I have to print them from Acrobat to get consistent color on what I'm printing so I can't print from in Design...
HELP!

  • How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

    To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6,  Snow Leopard. 
    I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers.  For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
    Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it. 
    I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have  used NeoOffice Draw, which  seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
    When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s).  No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer".   I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
    So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier. 
    Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's.  Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
    Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached.  Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
    Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes,  I am a printer capable of doing this....".  (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
    So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution?  Is there an existing product I can use?  Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers?  Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
    Thanks!

    Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

    You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
    What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
    You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
    Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

  • Large page sizes on Solaris 9

    I am trying (and failing) to utilize large page sizes on a Solaris 9 machine.
    # uname -a
    SunOS machinename.lucent.com 5.9 Generic_112233-11 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
    I am using as my reference "Supporting Multiple Page Sizes in the Solaris� Operating System" http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0304/817-6242.pdf
    and
    "Taming Your Emu to Improve Application Performance (February 2004)"
    http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0204/817-5489.pdf
    The machine claims it supports 4M page sizes:
    # pagesize -a
    8192
    65536
    524288
    4194304
    I've written a very simple program:
    main()
    int sz = 10*1024*1024;
    int x = (int)malloc(sz);
    print_info((void**)&x, 1);
    while (1) {
    int i = 0;
    while (i < (sz/sizeof(int))) {
    x[i++]++;
    I run it specifying a 4M heap size:
    # ppgsz -o heap=4M ./malloc_and_sleep
    address 0x21260 is backed by physical page 0x300f5260 of size 8192
    pmap also shows it has an 8K page:

    (The last 2 lines above show about 10M of heap, with a pgsz of 8K.)
    I'm running this as root.
    In addition to the ppgsz approach, I have also tried using memcntl and mmap'ing ANON memory (and others). Memcntl gives an error for 2MB page sizes, but reports success with a 4MB page size - but still, pmap reports the memcntl'd memory as using an 8K page size.

  • Save FrameMaker Book as PDF - Files with different page sizes

    I've created a book with 2 files - the pages in the first file are 8.5 x 11, the pages in the second file are 8.5 x 14.
    How can I save the book as a PDF but keep both page sizes? Right now if I change the page size in the PDF settings dialog, it changes all pages.
    Thanks.

    Something's not right. Try this route then:
    1. Use the Print Book option and have the AdobePDF printer instance selected, turn off the the Print to File, enable the "Generate Acrobat Data" option.
    2. Click the PDF Setup button to ensure that the Page size is set to the largest (as in the previous message),
    3. Then click the Setup... button to configure the printer for the largest size required.
    4. Then click the OK button to get back to the Print Book and finally click Print.
    5. You should be prompted where to place the file (unless you left the default configuration which may place it on your desktop).
    This should have all the pages correctly cropped as in the following sample with Letter, Legal and Tabloid all in one book:

  • Combine PDF's witout downsizing page size

    Hi
    I have Acrobat 10 Standard and can combine multiple PDFs into a single PDF file fine, but the page size does not remain the same. I start with 841,594mm (A1 pdf's) and when the combined PDF is created the page size is 420,297mm (A3).  The files I am combining are CAD and therefore important that they remain the same size and not scaled.
    Can anyone help please?
    Buzz

    When you combine multiple PDF files to single PDF file it automatically reduce the font size to auto fit on the PDF page that's why it reduce from A1 to A3. Well you have Acrobat 10 so you need to edit PDF page to remain it A1 size.
    Update:
    If you want to print that particular PDF file to A1 size you can customize PDF page by following steps here http://forums.adobe.com/message/1181043#1181043

  • Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

    We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
    For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

    Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
    Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
    Thanks guys,

  • Printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side)

    Safari 7.0.5 on Mavericks 10.9.4: printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side). Any suggestions?

    I am trying to print from Safari. The problem happens without respect to the zoom level, as I have tried many times with several different web pages, from fully zoomed in to fully zoomed out. It also happens without respect to whether I use the print option (and then specify to print to pdf) or use File>Export to pdf...
    Irritating, as the "save as... "option is not foolproof either.

  • Oracle 10gR2 LARGE PAGE SIZE on Windows 2008 x64 SP2

    Hello Oracle Experts,
    What are the advantages of Large Page Size and how would I know when my DB will benefit from Large Page Sizes?
    My undeqrstanding is on Windows x64 – 8kb default page size – will now be 2 MB. Will this speed up accesses to buffer cache? If so is there a latch wait that I can monitor before vs. after to verify that large page size has improved performance?
    My Database server has 256GB RAM and SGA is set to 180GB. I am quite sure the overhead involved in maintaining a large number of 8kb allocations (as opposed to 2MB) must be high - how can i monitor this?
    I am planning to follow the procedure here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13831_01/ap_64bit.htm#CHDGFJJD
    The DB is for SAP on a 8CPU/48 core IBM x3950. For some reason SAP documentation does not mention anything about this registry setting or even if Large Page Size is supported in the SAP world.
    Part 2 : I notice that more recent Oracle patch sets (example 25) turn NUMA OFF by default. Why is this and what is the impact of disabling NUMA on a system like x3950 (which is a NUMA based server)?
    My understanding is Oracle would no longer know that some memory is Local (and therefore fast) and some memory is Remote (therefore slow). Overall I am guessing this could cause a real performance issue on this DB.
    -points for detailed reply!
    thanks a lot -

    Hello
    Thanks for your reply. I am very interested to hear further about the limitations of Windows 2008 and the benefits of Oracle Linux.
    Generally we find that Windows 2008 has been pretty good, a big improvement over Windows 2003 (bluescreens don't occur ever etc)
    Can you advise further about Large Page Size for the buffer cache? I assume this applies on both Windows and Linux (I am guessing there is a similiar parameter for 10gR2 on Linux).
    SAP have not yet fully supported Oracle 11g so this is why 11g has not made it into the SAP world yet.
    Can you also please advise about NUMA? regardless of whether we run Linux or Windows this setting needs to be considered.
    Thanks

  • When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically  reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

    recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
    I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
    print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

    Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

  • How to change/crop to larger page size?

    Hi,
    I have the following script to loop through each page in a document, check if each page is A4 Portrait size, and if it is, change it to US Letter paper size:
    //Change Portrait A4 Page Size to US Letter Size
    //Values are in points and there are 72 points per inch
    //Check if page is Portrait A4 size (if Yes, then crop to US Letter otherwise ignore)
    for (var i=0; i<this.numPages;i++){
    var rCrop = this.getPageBox("Crop",i);
    if (this.getPageBox("Crop",i)[1]<842 && getPageBox("Crop",i)[1]>841 && getPageBox("Crop",i)[2]<596 &&
    getPageBox("Crop",i)[2]>595){
    rCrop[0] -= 8.28; // Adjust Left Side
    rCrop[1] -= 24.84; // Adjust Top Side
    rCrop[2] += 8.28; // Adjust Right Side
    rCrop[3] += 24.84; // Adjust Bottom Side
    this.setPageBoxes("Crop",i,i,rCrop);
    The script crops the top and bottom of each page correctly, but only expands the width of the left and right sides on the first page. After doing some experiments it seems the script will crop pages to a smaller size but struggles to expand pages to a larger size (in converting from A4 to US Letter I need to crop top and bottom to smaller size, but expand left and right sides to larger size). I tried changing "Crop" to "Media" but this didn't help.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks. HJ

    The page size options are limited, but are in the crop tool. If there are no tags or other markup, you can also print to a new PDF and adjust the size in the printer interface -- sometimes the simplest method, but not normally recommended. The rotation can be done in the document menu and then saved. The rotation that is typically on the toolbar are only for the current view and does not save with the PDF. Many of these you can use a batch process to resolve (in AA8 that is under the Advanced>Document Processing). The better method is to setup your Adobe PDF printer to create the correct page size and orientation in the future. You can setup to typically expand to fit, select a paper size, and have the settings set to auto-rotate. The later is based on the text that is found on the page. The margin elimination is also part of the crop tool. Hopefully this at least gives you some things to look at. Unfortunately, the tools get moved around with every version, so you may have to search for the tools.

  • Adobe 9.2 on Win 7 - shrinks pdf printout to half page size

    I am running Adobe Reader 9.2 on Windows 7. The printer is a Xerox Work Center C2424 and is a networked printer- we print through our server, which is running Windows Server 2003 R2.
    When I try and print any PDF, it prints pages of such a size that two portrait oriented pages of the document will fit on an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of paper on a Landscape output. However, there is only 1 printed page on each sheet of paper (on the right side if you hold the page in Landscape orientation). I have not selected print multiple documents per sheet. My printer properties are for a portrait oriented sheet, double sided, color, standard quality.
    If I click "Print as image" PDFs print correctly.
    MS Word, MS Excel, and IE printouts print correctly, problems so far only occur with Adobe PDFs.
    We downloaded a Windows 7 printer driver from XP.
    I have worked through the Adobe 9 "Troubleshooter" and can't figure out my issue, I just know that the "Print Image" work around works, for now. I have played with options on the Adobe print dialogue and the printer properties. Only different output I've gotten is a thumbnail sized printout when I chose "Choose paper source by PDF page size" in the Adobe print dialogue; the thumbnail was perfectly centered in the landscap oriented page. Also, when playing with "print multiple sheets per page" (2 per page) I got 2 portrait oriented pages, side by side, on the bottom of a portrait oriented sheet of paper.
    Any and all help/ideas are welcomed! Sorry if all my portrait/landscape language is more confusing than helpful. Thanks.

  • Viewing a PDF document with uniform page sizes:

    As part of our month end reporting, the members of our team PDF several Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents and someone combines them into one PDF document using Adobe Acrobat X Standard.  The combined document is sent to the Board of Directors. We are finding that while the document prints fine, when we/the Board are viewing it on our laptops, ipads, etc. some pages fit one full page to a window, while others are too big and some are tiny.  I know that when I am viewing it I can click the ‘fit one full page to window’ icon, but I can’t seem to save it like this so that the Board can also view it like this.  Is there a way to achieve this uniformity by adjusting certain settings at the time of PDFing the individual Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents or at the time we are combining? Any help would be sincerely appreciated.

    The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs).  To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
    This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes  as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
    Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?
