Printing to .pdf from Word, right margin is cut off or truncated. Is there a fix for this?

I often have to print Word (2011) documents to a PDF. I never noticed a problem before. But I noticed that recently (can't say when it started), the right margin is cut off or truncated. And I cannot figure out a way to stop it!
What has changed in Mountain Lion PDF creation via the Print function is causing this!
Any help would be appreciated!

I did find a solution, but it does not resolve the problem.
I have several printers installed on my MacBook Pro. The truncation problem happens whenever the printer selected is my new HP PhotoSmart 7515.
But, if I change the printer in the dialog box to my Brother HL-4070cdw before I try to print to a PDF, then the document contents are NOT truncated!
So I found a solution, but it is not a perfect one.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Can't "print to PDF" from Word with Acrobat XI

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat X to Acrobat XI and now I don't seem to be able to "Print to PDF" from within a Word document. It tries to generate the PDF then produces an error log which says:
    "Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions"
    Is there a fix for this?

    Just to be sure about the functionality of everything else. Try changing the job options in the printer (and/or) PDF Maker to the print or press options and see if the printing and PDF Maker operate correctly. If that is the case, you indeed know the problem is bad files. I am not sure if the ones that fail can be extracted seperatedly from the Acrobat distribution or not. I might check my Win7 installation of AAXI and see if I have any issues with the job options. I generally do not use the Std options, but one provided by IEEE for publications. I have found that works about as well as any and the results generally look nice. It generally embeds all fonts that is another option I want. The font issue is not optimum from my viewpoint with the Standard settings that does not embed all fonts.
    You might try to see if you can open them in Distiller. If so you might want to save copies from within Distiller (just save with a new name). Then check your last step and see if they open when resaved or when used as the settings for the print.
    I am just trying to dream up things you can try. The Distiller route might be a good test. If the copies work fine, but the originals do not, you could just rename the originals with ...orig or such and then change the name of the copies back to the original name. If you wanted to go one step further (I recommend it), change all of these new versions to be read only as the original should be.
    I forgot to mention that to edit them in Distiller, go to the settings tab and select the job settings, then enter edit. The original files can not be saved without changing the name since they are read only. If you need more help on this, ask and I will go to my machine with AAXI.

  • Safari 5.1.5 Can't Scale/Resize Page for Print Without Right Margin Getting Cut Off

    If I'm trying to print a webpage that is wider than the width of a portrait-oriented 11 x 8.5 inch sheet, whatever content beyond the right margin gets cut-off at 100% scale. Now, I can go to "File > Print" and reduce the scale from 100% to 75% or whatever value. However, this just scales down the ALREADY cut-off content. The missing right margin content stays missing. I can reduce the sheet margins to 0 inches (borderless), and it doesn't help.
    Before I used to be able to use Safari's "File > Page Setup..." dialog box to scale down a webpage to make it fit on a sheet. Now, that option doesn't appear in Safari 5.1.5 Mac unless it got moved somewhere else? I just have the "Print" option.
    How do I scale down a webpage to fit the width of a printed sheet now without losing right margin content?

    Solved:
    1. Type  chflags nohidden ~/Library/ in a Terminal window.
    2. Click on the hard drive icon located on the desktop.
    3. Go to Users > [username] > Library > Safari folder.
    4. Delete all files except “Bookmarks.plist”.
    5. Then go to Users > [username] > Library > Preferences.
    6. Find com.apple.Safari.plist, com.apple.internetconfigpriv.plist, and com.apple.internetconfig.plist and delete them (ignore any file you can’t find).

  • 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.
    Any thoughts?

  • In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings.  Has anyone found a fix for this?

    It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
    each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
    ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
    It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
    Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
    However, even if presented with multiple prints with
    the same name, the spooler should print each one!
    The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
    As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

  • When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Is there a fix for this?

    When I go through the 'import favorites' from Internet Explorer, everything seems to progress correctly. However, when I click on Bokkmarks, there is no option in the menu for accessing the imported items form EI. Why would this option be missing and is there a fix for this?

    Hello Nigel.
    Are you sure the Bookmarks you important are nowhere to be found? They should be stored in your bookmark manager, somewhere. To access the bookmark manager, go into ''Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks...''. Try searching there.
    You can change their place from there too.

    I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents

    If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
    You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
    Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011.

  • How to save edit settings under preferrences to use when creating or printing a PDF from word 2003 Windows PC 8.1

    I have tried to save my PDF settings after editing them, but when I go to "Print" to PDF and check the settings I keep getting Standard default settings.
    There is no Adobe PDF listed as a file heading to change conversion settings on my Word screen.
    I have tried to create a PDF by open file through the Adobe application and also by trying to print through the Word application with document open and using Adobe PDF as the printer driver.I have changed or edited the settings but they do not appear as an option to select, just the standard default settings.
    I have been able to save my setting as a Adobe PDF job options, but can't access them or use them when it comes time to convert to PDF.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    I have apprached it 3 different ways:
    - by opening acrobat and going to preferrences, clining on  convert to PDf
    - Microsoft Word, then changes each section of the edit settings, ie
    general, fonts, images, etc make the cahneges then hit OK, at this point I
    get a save as option rather than a save. It saves my changes as a PDF, but I
    am not able to access it when I go to make the PDF.
    - I also have tried to print PDF from Word  and got to properties to make
    the changs with the same results as above.
    - Then I tried yur suggestion and went to the printer in the control panel
    and had the same results.
    I am using mircosoft word 2003 which has been compatable with my windows 8.1
    I think the problem may be I am using a "trial" version of Adobe Acrotbat DC
    2105 version. It must not belettingme save the setting changes.But this
    shouldnot be if they want me to really experience the full effects of the
    program.
    I appreciate your help, thanks

  • Missing images when printing to pdf from Word

    When printing to pdf from MS Word 2003 in some cases textboxes and/or images disappear in the target PDF, depending on their position.
    Word and Acrobat Standard are the latest updates. If the Word text is converted on a Mac the target pdf has the images present, so it looks like it's a Windows only problem. Any suggestions where to start looking for a fix?

    You may have to turn on "display large images" in the preferences.
