Adobe Reader print size reduced from page to page

When I try to print a pdf file using Adobe Reader 7.0.9
under Linux Fedora Core 6, I get the print size reduced
from page to page. After several pages, the whole page
text are centered and the words are too small to see.
I can print the pdf files perfectly with Adobe Reader
under windows, and all pdf files have the same problem
with adobe reader under Linux.
I can look at pdf files using Document Viewer or KPDF
and these print correctly. I can also look at them
with KGhostView, but this prints in the same peculiar
way as Adobe Reader used to print.
If I choose to print a pdf file to a ps file,
this creates a ps file that prints just fine.
I don't have this printing problem until one day
I used a small "Scale: % of Normal Size"
in order to print a large size pdf picture.
I have a lot free space and the computer is networked.
Thanks for help.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

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,
Lox

Adobe Reader Printing Problem

I have a PC with Windows XP SP3. When I try to print a PDF document, I get the following message: "The document could not be printed. There were no pages selected to print." Of course, I had selected the pages to print.
Recently, I had many problems with Adobe Reader 10, so I removed it and reloaded Adobe 9. Today, when this printing problem appeared, I did a restore on my computer, taking it back a few months. I still have the printing problem.
Any idea what's wrong? Any idea how to fix it?

I have Acrobat Pro 9, but the feature I am using is listed under my
printers.
If I go to Print, then in the drop-down list of printers, I have PDF -
which essentially creates a new PDF document. I don't really understand
why it worked, but it did. The Print - PDF is also available to Word,
Publisher, etc.
Hope tis works.

Adobe Reader - Print Dialoge box is usable

Yesterday I was running Reader ver. 10.1.3 on a Windows 2008 x64 Terminal Server. All users Adobe Reader print dialoge boxes now open up very very large. Any visible font is perhpas 10" tall (see screenshots below). Drop down pick lists don't display text, and neither does any of the buttons (see screenshots below). As long as you just want a standard print, you can press enter to activate the defaulted print button. You can press the ESC key to exit the print dialoge form. Printing is all being done to Networked printers and I get the same screen no matter what printer is set to be the default printer.
Sometimes (rarely) the print dialoge box will display normal size, and it will display the page your going to print, but as per above, there is no text on the buttons or drop down boxes. The sample screenshot below took up my entire 1920x1080 screen and is just a small portion of the dialoge box size. I have to scroll around three screen lengths to get to the other side of the dialoge box. There is no verticle scroll bars, so I can't scroll down to the bootom of the dialoge box. Nor are there any window resize options (see last screenshot below)
Here is a closeup shot of the top LH side of the Dialoge box:
Below is a screenshot of the top RH corner (I had to scroll three window lengths to get to it):
The Word and Excel etc. Print Dialoge boxes are all working ok. I have tested different default printers with the Reader Print Dialoge box window and get the same looking screen.
The first thing I tried was to just reboot the Terminal Server (TS). I was supprised to find that I had the same problem. I tried upgrading to 10.1.4 and rebooted the TS. I still have the same problem. I see that someone else has sort of had a similar issue to mine: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4559861 But don't really see a response on how or if it was resolved.
Anyone have an idea of whats going wrong and how to fix this?
Thanks.

As mentioned above, every now and then people will see a normal sized dialoge box. Here are two examples:

Adobe Reader file size

forgive me for asking this but, when I go to download Adobe Reader it tells me on the Download page (without McAfee) the total size of the file is 37.86mb. But when I download it and install it its 211mb. is there a reason its much larger that what its telling me?
I checked by going into Add or Remove and checking.
is the file compressed of something before it's in stalled? if it is, then you guys should really tell the actually size of the file and what its going to take up on your computer because there's a big difference ... 173.14 mb give or take a byte.

They do mention how much space you need on your hard drive to install in the system requirements. The uncompressed file size is really inconsequential.

If they are saved on your iPad, they are as safe as anything else.

I installed the Adobe Reader on my ipad from the app store. I bought a subscription to transfer pdf files to word, excel. No Russian language in the settings. This is very bad!

You already posted this five times; and you already have a conversation with Adobe staff going on in the ExportPDF forum.

Adobe Reader print box overrides HP print box

Adobe Reader print box overrides HP print capability when I download PDF files. I need this capability to properly use manual duplex printing.
Any fix or workaround for this? Previous versions of Reader did not cause this problem. Adove add-even pr;int function does not work properly for my needs.

Printing PDF from IE with Adobe Reader - extra white space at top of page

I searched the forums far and wide but did not find this question or information to answer it. If it's out there, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the right direction.
A user of the web app for which I do tech support just called to say that starting today, whenever he opened a PDF from our app (in IE), the PDF looks fine on screen but when he prints the PDF, every page has extra blank/white space inserted at the top, which cuts off the bottom inch or two of each page.
No other users have called with this complaint, and if changes to our app or an automatic background Adobe Reader or IE update caused this problem, I would have heard from many users. I have a sneaking suspicion I have heard about this from other users, but since troubleshooting their IE or Adobe isn't exactly my job, I don't know if I did any more than advise them to talk to their tech support people.
I can't recreate his problem (read: it works fine for me), but I'd like to help him. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
Thanks in advance.

What I know: He's using Adobe Reader X. I do not know if it's the most recent version. The problem only exists with PDFs from our web app; he's not having trouble with other sites or with other PDFs.
I do not have a copy of the PDF; I can't give you the copy I downloaded when I logged into his account because there is proprietary confidential information on it, but everything worked fine for me and he's the only user with this complaint, so I believe it's related to his PC or printer, not to our app or to Adobe per se.
I sent him email asking for more information, but I do not know what printer he's using. I don't even know what version of Windows he's running.
Based on some info from Adobe, I suggested he make sure he's using the most recent version (10.1.2), try 'print as image" to see if that's any more successful, and make sure his printer drivers are up to date.
Given the nature of tech support, if he solves the problem or finds a workaround he's happy with, I may never hear from him again to know. I just wanted to know if this was a known issue and what recommended resolutions for it might be. Having not found anything on the web at large, I figured the Adobe forums would be a good place to ask.
Thanks for the time you took to answer.

Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

Hello,
I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
Thanks!

If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

Adobe Reader Printing first page miniature - rest fine

Hi,
Currently running Reader 11.0.07 and am having a printing issue similar to the below known issue in Reader X.
"Xerox printers shrink page content to 1/10 or 1/20 of the original size, and print the content in the upper left part of the paper. This behavior occurs when both of these options are selected in the Print dialog box: Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size and Use Custom Paper Size When Needed. [2392553]"
Is there any timeline for the issue to be resolved?
Cheers

Hi,
Additionally the driver being used is a KM C360 PS 3.6.0.0 and the Postscript pass through mode is enabled.
When testing and disabling the pass through mode of the driver being used (XC, FX, Lemark ....) the first page (also including mixed paper size) is rendered correctly for the entire document output.
Looking at the PS generated output for the KM driver in pass through mode has a difference between the prescript for the first page and any others following:
Example - First page A4 size generates the following.
%%BeginPageSetup
/ovlsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 12 830 ] def
/tabsetup [ 72 600 V 0 0 -72 600 V 0 841 ] def

Note that the concat override is not specified (including matrix).
Removing this line "[1 0 0 -1 0 842 ]ct" allows the document to correctly render in the correct orientation but the scale and transform are not specified corectly.
Page 2 shows that an additional difference is made by Reader in pass through mode:
8.33333 8.33333 scale
-12 -12 translate
If replacing the first page prescript (above) with the following PS code the job correctly (Page 1):
%%BeginPageSetup

%%EndPageSetup
Note that the issue is only generated by the printing through a driver in pass through mode. Setting print as image is not an option as the produced spool file is to large.
Additionally, the paper size cannot be resized and must have the (above) option set during printing - any other permutations of the "Size" options during printing cause issues during printing (e.g. A3 -> A4 or mixed A4/3 -> A4).
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Oops, I forgot to NOTE: this only happens when I'm printing a pdf from online. If I'm printing from a saved file from my computer adobe reader works just fine. so it's something with the settings of adobe reader and my browser. I use chrome, always have and I'm just now experiencing issues these past couple of weeks. I'm sure it's just a simple little box to check or uncheck or something, so I'm hoping someone can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Adobe Reader prints tiny pages

Hi folks. I don't know if I am in the right forum, but here goes:
I have a MacBook Pro mid-2009 that is running Snow Leopard. Since I bought the laptop, I have been unable to correctly print pdf files using Adobe Reader. The document prints out centered on the page but is only roughly 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" instead of the 8x11 it is supposed to be. The document properties show up as letter sized, I have the Adobe print settings as "Actual size". The printer is set to 8 x 11 as well.
The problem is only on pdfs on this computer. Pages documents, websites, etc. all print correctly. I have the same problem on different brand printers. My other Macs will all print the pdf's correctly, so I know it isn't a printer problem.
The pdf's print correctly if I use Preview, so that makes me think it is an Adobe Reader problem. I have deleted my Reader and reinstalled but have the same problem.
Does anyone have any ideas? This is my laptop for work (as opposed to my old net-surfing model), so I really do need to be able to print pdf's. I have always gotten frustrated trying to troubleshoot this myself and given up and used another computer up to this point, but it is getting to be a nuisance.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Strange, if I set the scale at say 30%, the text is tiny, 100% full size. From your post, it seems you have done all the things you would need to do. I wonder if Adobe has an issue. Attached some screen shots, cause sometimes I'm not clear when typing.
AT 30% whole page was about 2"x2" 100% full page. Strange that it does not change size. I am running Adobe reader 11.0.01, OSX 10.6.8. Best of luck
