Altering page-size in SaveDocsAsPDF.jsx

I've been reading this forum and can't seem to find a way to get the SaveDocsAsPDF script to create a .pdf other than 8.5x11.
If I Print or SaveAs to .pdf, the picture (whether .psd or .jpg) resolution is horrible. If I use the script, I get an 8.5x11 Landscape .pdf that contains the middle of an 11x17 Portrait file but with great resolution.
Is there a way to explicitly force an 11x17 size?
Thanks,
David

Desired outcome: 11x17 .pdf of an Illustrator file that contains a .psd, a .pdf, and some text. Trying to create a fold-in-half calendar with a picture on the top (.psd), the calendar (.pdf), and a title (text)

For what it's worth, I no longer have a need for this option in the SaveDocsAsPDF script in that I, finally, figured out how that Save As... PDF using PDF/X-4:2007 Standard gives me the full, tabloid size.
Although I'd still be VERY interested in help altering the page size in the SaveDocsAsPDF script.

After dn/load 5, Google mail scroll dn arrow hidden behind alter page size triangular icon making scroll inoperative

I am running Windows 7.
I downloaded the update to Firefox (now 5) with the result that the scroll arrow in the bottom right hand corner is now sharing that space with the small triangular icon that alters the size of the viewed page. Scrolling down can be achieved in the normal manner, by clicking on top right hand arrow but to scroll up I have to click on the right hand bar etc.. To click on the bottom arrow only results in the page reducer taking over with the scroll arrow obsolete. Any ideas without telling me to reinstate Firefox 4 ??? I mourn the loss of Google toolbar!!!

Creating a document with different page sizes.

I'm trying to produce a leaflet with different pages sizes. To try and explain what I mean I have included a picture of what I'd like the front cover to look like. When producing a booklet there doesn't seem to be a provision to individually alter each page size in the pages or document set up panel. Is there anyway around this or do I have to create each page seperately, export to pdf and then combine into the leaflet? Help gratefully received. tomas

The build booklet feature is for very basic booklets, not something like this.
Sorry, but you’ll need to make everything full size and then do the cutting.

Change page size and get error on Booklet. Why?! Only in CS6...

Why when we are working with a material of many pages, and all pages have the same measure, and alter the size of each page (in File -> Document Setup), we can no longer generate booklets? I was tested in version CS5 and it worked perfectly in version CS6 gives error:
"The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet Print works only with documents That use consistent page size."
I've checked all pages and it all have identical size between them.
Take a test.
Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will function properly. After this, go to File -> Size and change the page size of the pages. Now try to create a booklet. Will give error.
I tested in a couple of macs...

Well I am having this exact issue.
I have seen many posts in other areas of this discussion and online elsewhere. As it goes, Adobe is going to get sued for this.
I paid for a working feature of the software in CS6. Simply releasing a new version and forcing the user to pay for a fix to a problem in an old version is not lawful business. It's extorsion. They did not uphold their end of the bargain on the contract of me paying for a working product.
The owness is on them now to fix the bugs in the current versions of broken software.

Vbscript, change page size

So I have folder with numerous word/excel files that need to be converted to PDF on Legal Size "paper".
We have the "Save As PDF" plugin for Office so converting the files to PDF is no problem, however, using that plugin you cannot specify a "Print Size".
Also, while it is very easy to alter the actual document in Word/Excel, this would change the visual appearance (page breaks etc) and they have to look the same, but with "extra space" at the top.
So my next thought was to then open it in Acrobat Pro and change the dimensions there and this is what I have so far:
Dim oPDF
Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc") ' creates COM object
oPDF.Open("H:\test\test.pdf")
Set jsObj = oPDF.GetJSObject ' access to javascript interface
tArr = jsObj.getPageBox("Media") ' retrieves page coords
' get page box args : (0) Left, (1) Top, (2) Right, (3) Bottom
tArr(1) = 1008 ' = 14 inches for height
Set rect = CreateObject("AcroExch.Rect") ' special rectangle object
rect.Left = tArr(0)
rect.Top = tArr(1) ' with new size here
rect.Right = tArr(2)
rect.Bottom = tArr(3)
jsObj.setPageBoxes "Media", 0, 2, rect '' errors on this line with Type mismatch
jsObj.saveAs("H:\test\test_big.pdf")
jsObj.closeDoc
' cleanup below
No matter what I do for the "setPageBoxes" i -always- get a Type mismatch. I've tried passing just an array, the rect object, comma delimited string, pure numbers, everything.
Is it even possible through the "JSObject" interface to alter this parameter or is there a place where Adobe defines exactly what Type they are looking for in each language? It seems so mind boggling simple to just pass a normal array but... sigh.
Thanks.

As I understand it, you want to scale the graphic to a different size, not just change the page size. Those are two different aspects of the problem. If a graphic is part of the page, it can be moved, but can not be resized. To get a scalable graphic in the PDF, you have to put it on a button (TOOLS>FORMS>BUTTON) as an image. The button can be scaled. Once you make an object a part of the PDF itself (a form button is not part of the basic document), you can no longer scale it. This is why we all talk about doing editing in your original document and not in the PDF.
When you say to print to PDF with reduced size settings, I have no idea what you have done. Is this a job.settings file selection or what? I am still not sure what your objective is. It looks like you want to put multiple graphics into one file. I would suggest using a word processor, inserting the graphics to the size you want, then print all of the graphics to a PDF from that application. You selections would then be the choice of job.settings that you use in terms of the resolution that the graphics may be produced in. I think that this is the workflow that you really want, not trying to do things directly in Acrobat.

Default page size for printing

Is there a way to configure (i.e., specify non-programatically) the default page size to use when printing in Java? We have several JREs installed on a single Solaris machine. It seems that all but the one that came installed with the OS defaults to a an ISO-A4 page size.
I wrote a test program (see end of post) and compiled using a 1.2.2 JDK. Here are some results:
$ /usr/java/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.2.2
Page size: 612.0 x 792.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.0_04
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/java-packages/jre-1.4.2_08-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.4.2_08
Page size: 595.0 x 842.0 pts
$ /opt/jre-1.5.0_04-solaris-i586/bin/java -cp . PrintPageFormat
Java version: 1.5.0_04
Page size: 595.2755813598633 x 841.8897399902344 pts
I've searched the Internet, but cannot find how to go about setting the default page size for a JRE. I've opened a ticket with Sun, and was told you can't do this other than programatically. It seems unreasonable that I would have to recompile my existing applications just to get them to work correctly under newer JREs. Is Sun's response to my ticket correct???
Thanks in advance!

============================================================
import java.awt.print.*;
public class PrintPageFormat
      public static void main(String[] args)
          PrinterJob pj = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
          PageFormat pf = pj.defaultPage();
          double w = pf.getWidth();
          double h = pf.getHeight();
          String version = System.getProperty("java.version");
          System.out.println("    Java version: " + version);
          System.out.println("    Page size: " + w + " x " + h + " pts");
}

This problem was fixed by setting the locale variable LC_CTYPE to "C" or "en_US". The JREs 1.4.0 and above deployed on our Linux and Solaris environments all have the system property 'java.awt.printerjob' set to 'sun.print.PSPrinterJob'. This is a subclass of sun.print.RasterPrinterJob which in turn is a subclass of java.awt.print.PrinterJob. So, PSPrinterJob is the actual class of the PrinterJob returned by PrinterJob.getPrinterJob(). Looking at the code of RasterPrinterJob:
        /* Default to A4 paper outside North America.
        String defaultCountry = Locale.getDefault().getCountry();
        if (!Locale.getDefault().equals(Locale.ENGLISH) && // ie "C"
            defaultCountry != null &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.US.getCountry()) &&
            !defaultCountry.equals(Locale.CANADA.getCountry())) {
            double mmPerInch = 25.4;
            w = Math.rint((210.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            h = Math.rint((297.0*ptsPerInch)/mmPerInch);
            newPaper.setSize(w, h);
            newPaper.setImageableArea(ptsPerInch, ptsPerInch,
                                      w - 2.0*ptsPerInch,
                                      h - 2.0*ptsPerInch);
        }This should have been fairly obvious. Java's locale settings depend on the platform's locale settings (i.e., LC_ variables in this case), and then the default page size is determined (or actually altered) based on that.
I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out much sooner. I would hope Sun is, too! (not me, themselves)

Increase Page Size 32k

Hi expert,
I have installed SAP CE 7.2 on DB2, but as per the requirement(mentioned below) we need to set pagesize to 32k.
Can we drop that PSAPTEMP16 and create it again or we can do this with alter command.
Please throw some light on issue and if it is possible, request you to tell the alter commad by which we can increase the
size of Pagesize.
Cannot extract data to DB2 database
Problem
An error occurs when extracting data to an IBM DB2 database. The following error message is written to the
application log:
"A default table space could not be found with a page size of at least 32768"
Explanation
The system temporary and either the regular or large table space sizes are not set to 32 KB.
Solution
Increase the system temporary and either the regular or large table space sizes to 32 KB. Refer to the IBM
Technical Library article "DB2 Basics: Table spaces and buffer pools" for more information.
Procedure
Refer to the DB2 documentation to increase the table space sizes to 32 KB.

Change page size in PDF (Acrobat 9)

I have created a PDF file and under document properties it says that the default page size is 11.69 x 8.26 in. I want to change this to A3, but cannot find the option or any help on this.
The PDF was created using the PDF printer from an application that normally only prints to A3. This created a separate PDF file for each sheet of the document, which I then combined using the combine option in Acrobat.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alan

I have created a PDF file and under document properties it says that the default page size is 11.69 x 8.26 in.
Where did you see default page size? I can see only page size.

New preview function for iPad–error message "Multiple page sizes not supported"

When I try to use the new preview function with my iPad I get the error message "Multiple page sizes within a layout are not supported". I have a page that is 768 x 1296. I would really like to preview this folio before publishing. Any suggestions?

If you're trying to create an article that scrolls vertically, you can create a 768x1296 article in a 1024x768 folio, but you need to select a Smooth Scrolling option when you create or import the article, or in the Article Properties dialog box.

Does 'Export Relative to Page Size' NOT work in Kindle books & some other ereaders?

Hi I've been looking at this issue that has made the wheels in my head work overtime! I've made a book with pictures for the Kindle store and all the images look too small.
I've used Indesign 5.5 on a Win 7 PC. My file has multiple graphic images and I am exporting it as an epub. When exporting from Indesign you have 2 main options when exporting graphics. You can display them Relative to page size, or have them a Fixed pixel size. In age of multiple size device screens Relative to page size is the logical option because it should be able to make images on a page fill roughly the same percentage of the screen size whatever device you read it on. However I am finding that it doesn't function with all programmes.
I created an epub. Exported it with the Relative to page size option. This works great when viewed on PC with 3rd party software such as Sigil, or in iBooks for iPhone/iPad or Adobe Digital Editions ereader software.
However the same epub the images DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Calibre ereader software (images display far too small).
Also, I have converted that same epub (using Calibre) to a mobi. The images in the .mobi DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Kindle for PC, Kindle for iPad, Kindle Fire, Kindle Keyboard or Calibre.
Now. I recognise that my test is in no way universal but something is happening that is making the same file display relative to page size with some software/devices and not relative with other software devices. I've been wondering Is this a bug in the Indesign software or is it not possible on Kindle. Has anybody experienced this. And my main objective is to find out if there is a way, using Indesign or changing the css code, to make images display relative to page size on the Kindle?!
Any help, thoughts, ideas, knowledge would be appreciated!

InDesign doesn't have an export to Kindle function. It is not designed to export in the Kindle MOBI format.
There are many things which are lost when converting from EPUB to MOBI files. I'd recommend doing some reading on Elizabeth Castro's blog where she talks about some of these limitations. Also read her book "EPUB Straight to the Point for her section on converting to Kindle.
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point
Another good place to ask is in the Mobile Read forums where many long-term eBook experts reside: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/

"Indesign CS6 Edit Page Size"

Hi why have you changed the way edit page size works in cs6 compared to cs5? in cs5 i could use the reference point to decide where i wanted the page to grow. In cs6 it doesnt matter where i have the reference point it adds the size from center regardless of where i have the reference point.

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.

How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

Help. How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC? I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
Thank you.

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

Z3200 won't print to custom page size

Hello,
I've created a banner that is 23"w x 82"h (in CorelDraw Suite 4). The page setup of the Corel file is 23" w x 82"h. I've been trying to print it on the z3200 designjet, but have had no luck. I created several custom page sizes (23" x 82", 24" x 85", 24" x 82") using both the "Printer Properties" dialogue within CorelDraw as well as adding a "Form" in the "Print Server Properties", none of them work. I've set the correct paper (24" wide HP Bright White Bond, feeding from the roller) on the actual printer itself, and in the Printer Properties.
I've played around with all of the different settings that I can and sometimes see the following error message:
[1/1]Paper size selected (width:23.00 inches, height: 82.00 inches) is larger than loaded paper (width: 24 inches). Please verify your printer setup.
When the page prints, it is resizing the content to be 8.5" wide.
I don't know what I'm missing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Karen )

I'm having the same problem here in China as well; and I've talked to the tech support in my region and no help. Called the province HP tech rep and he has no clue at all.
Does any Tech/Eng here could help us? Otherwise there's no reason for me to use you guys machine anymore...
