Printing document on multiple pages in Preview
I have a very long document which is a list of folders. If I print it on one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet it is unreadable.
Is there a way to have this very long document print out on 8 1/2 x 11 sheets so that - basically the width fills up the 8 1/2 but the length goes to five or ten or twenty sheets?
I'm not sure if this is called Poster Printing or what but I'd love to find a way to get this out of my mac.
TIA
Hi. Thank very much.
Can I just confirm that I have described this correctly?
Basically I have already done a screencapture of this which I guess I would describe as having - say - 250 /rows/ in one column. I mean, basically I have something like a five or ten page Pages or Numbers spreadsheet except that it is in image format (png I think). So this is maybe 8 inches wide by 36 inches long. I can see it in Preview and I can blow it up or whatever, but I don't want this to print on one single page. I want to do a multi-page document but I am not sure how to explain this in Mac.
Should I go with pdfpenpro to /print/ this document?
Should I maybe open in in Adobe Elements 3 and see if there is an option in there?
Since it is an image document I am not sure what to open it in to do this on the mac and while I have Aperture it is a bit of a pain to import a screenshot into aperture if I just want to print it and then delete it. Ideally I would open it in Preview and just ask preview not to scale it to print on one page (which it seems to be doing now) but to print in on multiple pages at the "actual size" or a size of my choosing...
I guess the mention of multi-column sort of got me confused as to whether we are on the same page (so to speak!).
Thank you.
Thanks

I try to 'Print booklet' and receive an eror that "the active document uses multiple page sizes..." but all the pages on my document are in the same size (as far as I know)
How can I deal with this eror?This seems to be a bug, and so far the only workaround I know is to copy/paste everything into a new file.

Scanning multiple pages with preview and brother MFC-7440n
Hi,
because of some problems with my old scanner after i installed snow leopard, i bought a new compatible one. It's a brother MFC-7440n with apple build-in drivers.
When i start scanning to preview with more than one page, there will be a pdf document for every page. It doesn't matter if i choose "create just one document".
First i wondered because in leopard preview multiple pages are displayed like in snow leopard. But this is wrong. There is one pdf file for every page.
How can i change that issue? When i scan more than one page, i wan't one pdf document with multiple pages, not a pdf per page.
Thanks a lot.
DominikHi Dominik,
What about Brother's scanner software? Do they have a scan program you can use to create multiple page documents? I have a Canon, and its software did that. The only other way is how I explained in my previous post. I have no issue using Preview for the simple document scanning I do. But if you have more needs, perhaps the Brother scan program should be installed.
Brother has issued a scanner driver update on 9/10....

HP Officejet 6500A How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file?
HP Officejet 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer - E710n
Windows 7 (64 bit)
How do I scan a document with multiple pages into one file? My old printer (psc 2110) asked after each scan if I wanted to scan another page. At the end I had one pdf file with multiple pages.
This new one creates one file for each page and I cannot find a way to create one pdf file with multiple pages.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi mpw101,
If you load the papers into the ADF - Automatic Document Feeder, and then select Document to PDF then they will all be scanning into one file. Let me know if this works for you?

View Solution.mamorse,
Thanks for the additional info. Lets try downloading and running the Print and Scan doctor located here. It can fix a lot on its own but if not it will give us a better idea of what is going on. The weak signal is not likely the culprit (as it has been working for a good while) but we can try altering that if other steps fail.

How do I scan a document with multiple pages _ HP 6500 wireless
I tried this in another thread but never got an answer, so here it goes again. I have a problem trying to scan multiple pages FROM THE GLASS into one pdf file. I have the HP Officejet 6500 wireless E709n printer running under WIN7 64-bit. My printer has the HP Document Manager software version 2.0. How do I set that up to do multiple page from the glass into a single pdf file. I was able to do this easily with my older HP Officejet 6110 printer but the HP software on that was HP Director. Any help will be appreciated.
Jabzi, Clicked on the link and it takes me to a page that says to use HP software that I have to be using HP Solutions Center software that came with the HP printer. I have a HP Laptop G7-2022 that came with WIN7 and the HP 6500 wireless printer and there are several listings on the HP programs drop down menu, but no HP Solutions Center. It has HP Document Manager, HP Photosmart, Officejet 6500, etc but no Solutions Center. So I take it then from your answer that HP Document Manager can scan multiple pages from the ADF into one pdf file but can't do the same thing from the glass, correct? Where do I get HP Solutions Center software since it didn't come with the HP laptop or HP printer?

Printing Problem - Incomplete multiple page print job - until paper runs out
I'm on Mac OS 10.9.3 printing to a Samsung CLX-6250FX. This is a network printer used by all the Apple/Window computers in this office.
I am having terrible problems recently with printing multiple page documents - excel, word, email, pdf etc. I am spending a fortune in paper and printer cartridges.
The print job does not complete and the last page printed, the following message prints:
ERROR: syntaxerror
OFFENDING COMMAND: true cvt Tfpgm nglyf ' ^ head
STACK:
-mark-
/sfnts
Then the same printer job restarts and fails at the same point until the printer tray runs out of paper (unless the print job is aborted and/or the printer is turned off and turned on again)!!
The specific error message displayed by the printer software is either "Remote host did not accept data file (32)" or "Remote host did not accept data file (105)".
I haven't seen any pattern whatsoever in terms of application used.
I have deleted the printer and reloaded the driver from the disk supplied with the printer. I have checked to see that I am running the most recent driver.
I've already reset the printing system, but that didn't fix it.
I have seen this problem on various support communities pages, but for different printers.
I have yet to see a solution - Any other recommendations please?The error message you see printed is a Postscript error. With your printer, postscript (normal output type from applications) is converted to the printer's page description language before being sent to the printer. So, I believe the problem is in some part of the driver software.
For first step, I would try restarting from the Recovery partition and repair the hard drive using Disk Utility. You can repair permission, too. This is trying to correct a corrupted file.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
(just read the first paragraph)
If that doesn't fix it, I would try downloading and installing the latest driver for the printer.
Come back for more if that still doesn't work. -
Split TIF document with multiple pages
Hi,
Iu2019m using function module 'SCMS_HTTP_GET' to retrieve TIF document from Filenet. The TIF document returned has multiple pages. Iu2019m able to retrieve the document with no issue. What I need to do is split the TIF document for each page.
Is there a way in ABAP to split the TIF on each page break?
The reason I need to split is later in program I call FM SSFC_BASE64_ENCODE passing data to Adobe form that uses IMAGE FIELD object to display TIF. I have no issue displaying TIF with 1 page on adobe form. But if there are multiple pages only the first page is displayed in the Adobe PDF. I was thinking if I could split the TIF that contains multiple page into individual TIF I would then pass in table to PDF form to display all pages of the TIF.
Appreciate the help,
GaryHi,
I'm also in the same situation. I am uploading the TIf file with multiple pages, but only the first page is printing. Did you get any luck in either printing all pages OR program which can spilt...
Thanks,

Print JTable with Multiple pages and rows
I took the printing example at http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/advprint.html#pe and modified it a bit to include the following:
1) To Print Multiple pages
2) To wrap lines that is too long for the column
3) To print with a more proffesional style, so that it doesn't look like a screen capture is printed
4) To align the numbers to the right and center column headings

Laserjet Pro 200 M251NW printing Garbage characters multiple pages after just setting up
I am installing the printer for the first time on a Dell Optiplex with Windows 7 32bit, it is about a year old and is working fine with other printers. The printer was working fine through USB on a laptop running windows XP.
Connected the printer to an open USB on the computer and the auto install started running from the printer. It seemed to run OK, I followed all of the prompts, etc. When I said it should print a test page it started printing multiple pages each with a few lines of what I would call garbage text, strange characters, spaces, random letters, etc. It kept printing pages and I had to turn the printer off to get it to stop.
I was thinking that maybe the drivers from the printer were old and not for Windows 7, so I then download the full driver from the HP website and installed that. It said it would uninstall the original driver, which it did, then it installed and again all seemed OK until I printed the test page, and the same thing as above happened. I also tried printing some text from notepad and it went to the print queue then disappeared. It still seemed like a driver problem to me so I manually uninstalled from the start menu program Uninstall for the printer. This time I downloaded the basic driver and installed - still with the same result. I thought maybe it was because the Quick STart from the printer kept loading when the printer was turned on so I turned it off from the menu on the printer, but it still didn't help. I also tried another USB port on the computer with the same result.
Is it possible there is software left from the first install that may not have been for Windows 7 and it needs to be removed manually??
Any help from HP or anyone would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this printer running for our shipping system ASAP.
Thanks,
RichI tried all of those things and it is always the same result. Even on the network, printing from the same computer. I was able to print properly from a different computer, to the HP 200 connected to the USB and shared on the original computer - so I then knew the USB was OK.
I was looking online further and found the HP Universal PCL6 driver, and it actually worked! I don't really understand why the proper driver will not work with the printer though. I even created a new user on the computer so all of the programs, etc. would not load, then I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver - still same problem. The computer also has drivers and printer software for Epson printers, so I don't know if that could be causing some type of problem.
It is good that we can at least do basic printing but I really should have the fully functional driver working for the system. Any help from anyone, and hopefully HP monitors these discussions and can help out.
Thanks,
Rich -
How to find page sizes in a document with multiple page sizes
Hi Ive been given a document that has multiple page sizes in it how do i find the size of each individual page. i tried document setup but that only brings up the size of the first page
You are going to do that for each page? You might be better off with using the Preflight panel. "Page size" can be flagged as an error, so you get a nice linked list.
