Acrobat 9 changes print orientation

Acrobat 9 has suddenly started changing the orientation when printing - sometimes it prints in landscape instead of protrait - sometimes in portrait orientation but rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.  Any ideas on why this is happening?

Thanks for the response.  The auto-rotate and center box was checked - and Acrobat printed in portrait orientation, but rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise.  So I unchecked the box, and Acrobat printed in landscape orientation (should have been portrait).

  • How do I change print orientation from landscape to portrait in OS X 10.10.3 with a Epson Workforce printer?

    I tried changing the value in print.print.orientation from zero to one; and then from one to zero -- restarting each time. Neither works. I cannot explain how this problem occurred since I had been printing in portrait. When I fo to print in FF the print dialogue box shows a horizontal page with a number one in it. I cannot change this. There is no landscape/portrait choice area to select. I can print in portrait in Word.

    Thanks for your reply. The "details" choices that appear are: Options, Appearance, Frames, Page Headers, Page Footers. Next to Options are 2 choices: Print Selection Only which is grayed out and cannot be selected & Ignore Scaling...etc. which can be selected. No where do I see a portrait/landscape orientation choice. Should I reinstall FF?

  • PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

    Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
       So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
       Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
    Thanks,

    GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
      Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
    I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
    SOLUTION:
    The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
    Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
                "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
                Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
    Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
    AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

  • I'm trying to print  an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape.  That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

    I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print.  The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format.  I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

    Hi,
    How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

  • How to change page orientation in Pages?

    Hi,
    I would like to change page orientation for Just one page inside a document.
    Say I have page 3 that I want to be landscape and not vertical, how can I do it?
    I haven't been able to find this in Pages, I found it in Word though.
    Any idea?

    The rotation in Preview is just a simple command in the .pdf. It all seems to sort itself out in printing, Acrobat has the occasional odd moment where pages are rotated from their real orientation. It is like the "cropping" in .pdf files which really doesn't cut anything off it just changes the bounding box so what you see appears to be cropped.

  • Acrobat PDF Printer STILL freezes when pasting filename into Save dialog

    Ref: Acrobat Printer Freezes on Save when CTL+V is used
    No change in Acrobat X.  Printing system still freezes up entirely when pasting a filename into the Save dialog, when printing to Adobe PDF printer.  Most often from Firefix (all versions through 28.0) but from other programs as well (also happens from MS Outlook 2010 32 bit).
    Any chance of an update from Adobe?
    Acrobat Pro X on Win 7 64 bit.  Multiple systems exhibit same behavior.
    Same issue occurs in Acrobat XI Standard.
    Workaround is possible by manually typing in filename, or renaming, but clearly this should not be happening.  If you forget, it requires a lot of steps (or a reboot) to try again.

    If you copy text directly from FireFox (or Word, or pretty much any program, other than Notepad), and try to paste into the Save Dialog to save your PDF, guaranteed crash.
    HOWEVER, if you paste the text into Notepad first, and then copy it again, you can then paste into the Save dialog no problem.  This is why the "test" that the Adobe rep did to recreate the problem was pointless: He managed to re-create the one workaround method that DOES work, instead of actually trying to do things the way that were causing the issue to show up.
    The problem appears to be related to any sort of "rich" text.  Windows ignores the "rich" information and only keeps the text if you paste into a filename in the system.  So Windows handles it just fine, it's Adobe's save dialog that can't handle it.  Copied text from Firefox is usually pretty clean (IE is worse), but there must be some formatting remnants in there that are giving Adobe fits (instead of properly ignoring them).  It may have something to do with 64-bit Windows and 32-bit Firefox and 64-bit Acrobat all coming together?  Copying and pasting between 64-bit and 32-bit programs usually has no issues, but in this case, it does (although the 64/32 bit relation is pure speculation on my end).
    But by "washing" your text through Notepad first, it completely strips it down to truly pure plain text, which can then be pasted into Adobe's Save dialog without a crash.  This adds an extra step, and should be entirely unnecessary, but it does work.  At least until Adobe fixes their program.

  • Photoshop CS6 freezes with attempts to change printer settings

    (This problem also occurs with InDesign CS6, so I will post to that forum as well. First one to give me a solution gets my undying love and devotion appreciation.)
    My employer acquired a Canon 6010 printer with a Fiery print controller last year. I have no problems printing from my personal Windows laptop. 
    However, from my employer's iMac (OS X 10.6.8) I get the spinning beach ball of death at least 90% of the time that I open an existing document and attempt to change the printer settings. The only way out is via Force Quit. Inexplicably I can occasionally succeed in changing printer settings. I think the record was having to force quit the application 11 times. Not sure - I quit counting.
    So far our only semi-consistent work around: create a new document and copy and paste the contents from the existing document. Not cool. But sometimes the app freezes with brand new documents, thus destroying my work around anyway.
    Additional Information:
    I have installed all CS6 upgrades.
    Our technical support contractor recreated the problem and could not find any solution other than the work around.
    Canon says the problem is with the applications.
    This happens whether I attempt to change the printer settings immediately or make changes to the document first.
    It does not matter what other applications are running.
    Rebooting the system after the app freezes does not make it work.
    We cannot upgrade past 10.6.8 because of the age of the hardware. But CS6 is supposed to run on Snow Leopard.
    I have tested this with other applications, including some older Adobe software. It does not happen with Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, InDesign CS3, Photoshop CS3, Acrobat 8 Pro, Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat XI Pro.
    This happens whether the documents were created and saved on the Mac or on a Windows computer.
    Re-saving the documents and/or printer settings does not change the outcome. Once I restart the application Photoshop may remember the paper size, but doesn't remember duplex settings. (From another thread in this forum I suspect a corrupt printer preferences file.)
    Per the instructions in the other thread I reset the printing preferences by launching the app while holding down shift-control-command. That enabled me to change the printer settings one time. Every subsequent attempt brought back the spinning beach ball.
    No other employees report similar problems (including a few MacBook users). However, they do not use Photoshop or InDesign, nor do they typically change printer settings.
    Sorry if some of that is irrelevant - just trying to give you as much info as possible and tell you what I've tried already. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Bonnie

    Nanneri, my situation is similar in that creating the PDF and printing from that does take longer than just printing from InDesign and Photoshop.
    I finally got a Canon tech rep on site who understood my problem. Though we had tried reinstalling the drivers (as had previous Canon reps), this guy got it right. Neither Photoshop nor InDesign has locked up since - at least not for the Canon 6010. (Photoshop has locked up twice when I've attempted to print to a Canon iPF8300s wideformat that isn't on the Fiery. Restarting PS has fixed that.)
    Based on my experience, I would start with new drivers.
    FYI: I am having problems printing to a new Canon C7065 that also uses Fiery. But the problems vary and I haven't isolated the factors. Sometimes I get a printed error report. Sometimes it just doesn't print. But no more software lockups.
    In our case, I suspected our problems were related to having old hardware that can't be upgraded past OS X 10.6.8, which is the oldest OS compatible with both CS6 and the Fiery. But since you are on a newer OS, and a different printer, I'm beginning to wonder about the Fiery.
    Hope you find a solution soon. Keep us posted!

  • Firefox 28 hangs when I try to print to Acrobat PDF printer

    Hello all!
    I have observed a problem when I try to print a webpage in Firefox v28 using the Acrobat PDF Printer (Acrobat Pro 9.5.5) installed in a Virtual Machine (VMware View 5.2) with Windows 7 64 bits. The printing dialog hangs (no response) after the "Save as" pdf dialog. Then I have to force Firefox to close, and afterward a Acrobat PDF conversion dialogs appears with the progress bar stopped at the middle. I also have to close this afterwards.
    The others programs (Office, IE, Notepad...) are able to print through the PDF printer without problems. The problem appeared after the automatic update to Firefox v28, since when I downgrade to Firefox v26 the problem disappears.
    I checked a similar configuration in a physical computer (W7 64 bits, Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, Firefox v28), and everything runs good, so I think it is a change that happened in Firefox v28 that has some problem with the VM configuration. I also have tried to change the Firefox profile, reset Firefox and reset the printing settings and reinstall Acrobat. No luck.
    I would like to know if somebody know some change in Firefox v28 related with the printing or related to some service or update that can have some problem in the virtual machine.
    Any help is welcome!
    Thanks!

    When you updated, did you reset the printer settings in '''about:config''' under '''print.print_printer'''?

  • Acrobat PDF Printer Hangs in Windows 8

    I am running Windows 8 Enterprise RTM  64-bit on an Intel i7-3770 3rd gen CPU, Z77 chipset. I've found that most PDF printers I have been using on Windows 7 now hang on 8, including the Acrobat X printer (latest version). I have found one free alternative that works fine, but would like to get back to using the Acrobat printer. Will Adobe be releasing an update that addresses the hang?
    Above is a screenshot afterr more than ten minutes:

    Hello All
    I have been struggling with this same problem of Printing to Acrobat PDF driver freezing up not only the print spooler, but also the software I was printing from, on Windows 7 64Bit, using both acrobat 9.4 and Acrobat X with the same freeze, stall lockup result.
    I think this is the same problem you are having.
    I found many questions about this online but no useful answers, and alot of fingerpointing trying to blame different programs and combinations of software.
    The 1 solution, which created a PDF and did not freeze, was to switch of the choice of a saving location in the PDf driver and setting a fixed PDF save location instead of the ASK for location option.
    This worked but was a real pain having to move and rename the file each time.
    This got me thinking that there was actually nothing wrong with the PDF driver.
    The problem seemed to be the user input to save the file to a certain location.
    I then experimented and found that if I was fast enough with a file name, that the save to location option did not freeze up when creating the PDF.
    By repeatedly trying to print and looking at the print dialog box I noticed that after a count of 5 seconds the Acrobat PDF print driver progress box greyed slightly (Asif loosing focus) and after that happened there was no hope of a successful PDF.
    The 5second timer got me thinking about a windows timeout, rather than a PDF option.
    PDF Print Freeze Problem Solution:
    Windows 7 64 bit (And I assume Windows 8 too) has a default program timeout of 5 seconds after which Windows considers a program to be NOT RESPONDING.
    The time during which the PDF printer is waiting for a response from you for a save location, is seen as inactive by Windows and Windows decides that the Print driver has stalled.
    Something then changes anough to effect the driver, and once the PDF print driver is allowed to carry on and save the PDF it can't anymore and stalls.
    Solution is to edit the HungAppTimout in the Windows Registry, and set it to something like 20000 to 30000 = 20 to 30 seconds.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc978614.aspx (Info regarding the Registry Key)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\HungAppTimeout
    This then give you 20-30 seconds to select a save location for your PDF.
    In my case (Windows 7 64bit) the Registry entry was missing.
    I had to create it from scratch and reboot.
    If ENTRY IS MISSING:
    Goto the folder in the registry
    Right Click  - NEW - STRING VALUE
    Name it exactly as above including CAPS: HungAppTimeout
    Set the value to 20000 (For 20 seconds or more if you need it)
    Reboot Windows.
    After that Printing to PDf with Acrobat works 100%.
    Note this option also helped on my Windows XP PC.
    I hope this prevents others from struggling as much as I did to fogure this out.
    Regards

  • Cannot change Printer Properties in Word 2010 with J6480. Properties revert to default setting

    When I attempt to change Printer Properties in Word 2010, they simply revert back to the default setting.  I am unable to use the Printer Properties within the Word 2010.  If the default is grayscale, that is all the printer will print unless I change the default setup in the Control Panel. It appears to be an incompatibility with Office 2010 software as other programs allow the change of Printer properties.

    I have the exact identical problem.  Brand new printer (HP PhotoSmart C4780) on a brand new PC (Windows 7).  I cannot access the printer properties dialog box when the PDF file has been opened in an embedded Adobe Viewer window in Internet Explorer.
    When I select [Print] from Word or Adobe Viewer, or anywhere else, I can then press the [Properties] button and it opens the printer properties just fine.
    But if I open a PDF document through Internet Explorer, clicking on that [Properties] button doesn't do anything.  No error or anything.  If I press the [Save] in the Adobe Acrobet-embedded Internet Explorer window, it too does nothing.  This leads me to think it is an Adobe Acrobat issue.  However, I have found nothing in their support forums on this topic.
    Does anyone out there have any ideas?

  • Changing the orientation of an envelope

    Hi,
    I have the simplest problem and I can't for the life of me figure out the solution.
    I want to print a 4.5x9 envelope, standard size, but I can't figure out how to change the orientation of the envelope from horizontal to vertical to print it. If I change the page set up it changes the page but the text stays where it is. I just need to flip the envelope around so I can print it vertically.
    Help?

    You don't need to change the orientation of the text on screen, just set it up in Page setup and print.

  • PSE 8 always uses landscape as printer orientation by default?

    Windows 7x64.
    I have a number of multi-page docs created in PSE. No matter what printer I select, and despite them being in a standard portrait size/orientation, the print options ALWAYS default to landscape. I've checked the actual printer under "printers and devices", and the actual settings there are portrait.
    This is worse because I must actually use the print options dialog box to move manually through EACH PAGE of the document to be printed, and set the printer options to "portrait" on every page. If I fail to do even one page, the entire document is printed landscape, cutting of page contents.
    The preview shows each page is indeed landscape until I do this procedure, at which time it flips the page to portrait, one at a time.
    Doesn't matter what printer is used.
    Also, once printed, if I immediate open the print dialog again, same printer and everything, once again it has landscape.
    There seems to be no memory whatsoever for orientation (other settings, like resolution, are maintained during the run on PSE, but are always lost when PSE is closed). Again, in particular, orientation for every page, individually, on each print attempt, is always set to landscape, no matter that the document is not in that orientation.
    Is there even a way to specify document orientation? Is there something PSE does to attempt to determine orientation that might be wrong? Can I make PSE remember printer settings, or at least use the system defaults for the printer?

    Tried that (remember, I have PSE8, and the post you referred to is PSE11).
    Anyway, started app, used ctrl-alt-shift, held down while clicking organize. Waited for organizer to start. Then started PSE, loaded last file, clicked on print.
    Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd....
    Preview is still in landscape mode.
    So nope, no benefit. In fact, I can open the print dialog, change to portrait (and the preview does change), close it, reopen it immediate... landscape again.
    So, I figured out that in addition to PSE 8, I still also had PSE 7 installed. I'd assumed that installing 8 would upgrade, or uninstall, the prior version, but both are there. So I uninstalled 7.
    I noticed that the 7.0 settings directory, well hidden under AppData, still existed, and had several DAT and a settings file, which I moved elsewhere, with no change.
    So I did find wher 8.0 keeps its preferences:
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\8.0\Editor
    File is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 Prefs.psp
    This is an encoded file, so it can't be directly edited. I renamed the extension so the program wouldn't find it, and fired up the editor. Predictably, a new prefs file was created, and was smaller than the original (166KB vs 176KB). So one would guess this contains default settings.
    I then tried the same print experiment. Sadly, absolutely every symptom was identical.
    So here's what I think is really happening. This has nothing to do with settings or printers. I think PSE tries to guess the orientation from the size of the page/image/whatever. I created these pages from scanned images, and they are not EXACTLY a standard size. They are clearly portrait (size is 8.25" by 10.667" - very, very close to the 8.5 x 11 standard page size, and very, very obviously portrait).
    To test the theory, I resized the first page of the 6 page document to exactly 8.5 x 11 inches. (But note: the proportions I had were identical to the proportions of 8.5 x 11). But no joy - still portrait when printing. I verified the printers themselves had system defaults for portrait, which they did.
    Now my theory was that the print orientation had been set when I created the document at not-quite-exactly 8.5x11.

  • Change page orientation

    Is there any way in iCal to change the orientation so that for a week view the days of the week run down the side instead of along the top?

    It's not "near impossible" - it's just not possible in Pages. You have a few options - rotate the contents of the page, export or print to PDF & rotate the page in Preview or use Microsoft Office. Pages is not Word & it costs just a fraction of what Word does.
