Automatic document size detection

I have a report that is generated in legal format. When I hit print , the page size goes to the default page size (eg. A4). Is there a way to make Adobe reader (V 10.1.2) automatically detect the document size (legal in this case)? Thanks

Using Scripts to detect document size in inches?

Is it possible that a script detects the document size in inches not in pixels?
Thanks for the help!

The size an Image will print is a simple calulation the numbet of Pixel Wide Devided by the imageg current DPI resolution. And numbet of Pixel High Devided by the imageg current DPI resolution. You can always change the DPI while maintaining the same number of pizels using Image Size with resample NOT checked to change the image's print size. All the information can be retrived in a script and the script can change the image's print size with or without resampling the image.

Photosmart 7510 Automatic Document Feeder. will it copy a doublesided odd size?

I have a Photosmart 7510 . I have never used the Automatic Document Feeder and could not find anywhere online how to use it. I want to know if I can put in a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 picture from a funeral and have it copy both sides so it will look like a card.. all on one like the original.
This question was solved.

Hi grammafaith,
For copying the size that you want through the ADF is not support. According to the specifications the largest photo tray size is 5x7, and using the main ADF would cause a paper jam.
I have included the document here for 'Copying a Multipage Original'. I have tried steps on the 7510 that I do have and was able to successfully copy on both sided.
I have also included those steps here for you.
1) Place the item on the scanner glass
2) Press the Copy button
3) Press the Settings button in the bottom left
4) Make sure that 2 sided copy is turned ON
5) Press Start
6) Follow the on screen instructions of loading the second page/ or flip the paper over and continue
Please let me know if this has successfully worked for you, thank you.

How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.

Change Default Document Size Attribute

I understand that I can make a custom attribute that displays the size in KB, MB, etc -

Export to PDF ignores document size settings?

I have several documents in InDesign CS4 and when I export them to PDF the document size changes.
I have set all the following options to A4 (210x297mm):
In Indesign: File->Document Settings
In Windows->Printer settings->Adobe PDF->Paper Size
After exporting and opening in Reader 9 the document size has changed to 210 x 303.3mm
This then requires a tweak before the first print run.
I should be able to just export to production and they can print from the PDF without checking the settings!
What have I missed?

I am using the export option not printing to PDF.

Scanning multiple pages into one document with an automatic document feeder

when using automatic document feeder to scan in multiple pages - using the Image Capture app, this process does not work for more than 2 pages. However works perfectly in PC environment.
Using a MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 and a Lexmark Interpret 405S All In One Scanner.
Is there any other all in one device that can perform this function in a Mac environment?
Please advise.

Hi @FentyFly ,
I see by your post that you would like to know how to scan multiple pages into one file. I would like to help you out today.
From the HP Scan Software, click on the link for Advanced Settings, then uncheck Create a separate file for each scanned page.
Here is a URL for how to scan and change the settings. Just select your operating system.

Document size in quick look

Hi Community,
I installed a new Mac running Snow Leopard and now I have a small document size in quick look. I can change the size by drag and drop the lower right corner but a) the next document is in the same small size and b) when I reopen a document in quick look I adjusted the size before, it will be displayed also in the small size again. In other words the quick look doesn't remember the custom size setting.
Is there anywhere in the system a way to change the settings of quick look?
Thx & Bye Tom

Yes, I have the same issue, text is tiny on my large screen when previewing word or other text documents. The implementation of Quicklook for text could be improved. For images it obviously works great but for text, I would define a "quick look" as a quick scan of the contents, not just the layout, because its text. When you are editing HTML or looking at CVs a lot, you end up needing to read a little to see what the item actually is, as a lot of layouts are the same for these type of documents.

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it. help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks

I am pulling my hair out! I am using adobe indesign and just want to make a text box 'autofit text' as I change fonts a lot and want the font to automatically re-size as I change it.
Is it not possible to create a text box, fill it with dynamic (data driven) text, but make the font size either scale up or down automatically, so that the entire text box is filled? This is a feature in PrintShop Mail Pro called COPY FIT. but no such feature in Indesign??
help help help please - I have latest version of indesign - thanks, DJ

lol... it seems to work, but I have another huge problem!
Apparently .CSV files cannot contain page breaks in the data! The data I am trying to merge is a 'letter', with paragraphs, line breaks, etc.,
But, after data merging, it ignores page breaks and only merges the first paragraph of each letter. (sigh)
Solution? Hopefully, an EASY solution. lol as we have thousands of records.
Is there a third party indesign plugin that will allow .xml, or .xls data merge import??
Thx,
DJ

LaserJet Pro 300 color MFP automatic document feeder - page stops feeding with 1" to go

Scan page won't finish feeding when using the automatic document feeder. Leaves approximately the last 1 to 2 inches of paper in the scanner. The Scan ADF Paper Jam error message pops up. Seems like the page hangs/gets stuck once the page passes through the document feeder roller assembly. Haven't been able to find any information on what moves the paper through the scanner once it gets past this roller assembly.

Which multifunction Laser printer (MFP) for Lion? - need multipage scanning through automatic document feeder

Hi all,
I'd love to get your advice on what MFP laser printer to buy.
I need:
- Laser color PRINTING for a small business (+/- 1500 pages per month)
- SCANNING, preferably easy multipage scanning through the automatic document feeder
Optionally:
- 2nd paper feed tray
I think of buying the HP Color LaserJet CM2320fxi, but there seem to be plenty of compatibility issues with Lion (e.g. scan to network folder does not work on Lion).
I'd love to hear about success or failure of MFP on Lion from HP, Brother, Xerox, Lexmark, etc...
Thx for your advace,
S.

I can recommend the Canon MF8380C. It has a document feeder that supports duplex scanning to Lion, either via Image Capture or Preview or 3rd party application like Acrobat Pro. You can also push scan documents from the machine by first configuring the scan settings using the Canon MF Toolbox that gets installed on the Mac.
The print quality is good for office documents, but not that accurate for colour proofing. It uses Canon's proprietary UFR2 v2.30 driver of which the Lion version of this driver is available from the Canon web.
As for the monthly volume, 1500 pages per month is the maximum recommended volume, so not sure if this would suit your business needs. It's recommended monthly volume is 800 colour pages.

Acrobat 10 not Scanning all Pages from ADF (Automatic Document Feeder)

Acrobat 10 does not scan all of the pages from the Automatic Document Feeder from an attached scanner, and only scans some of the pages. The ADF works fine with the built-in Windows 7 Scan and Fax, as well as with HP's software, but it just won't work with Adobe Acrobat for whatever reason. The scanners that we are using are brand new, and the model is: LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276mw. The issue has been duplicated on four computers and two scanners, in a Windows 7 x64 Enterprise environment. A video of the exact problem can be found here: http://uncoolcat.com/work/LaserJet_Pro_200_Color_M276.mp4
Would somebody be able to help us resolve this issue?

Hi Varinder,
Thank you for the suggestion! We wound up figuring out a way to make their "full feature" software (which does include the TWAIN drivers) install mostly silently, and install only if they've connected the device locally to their computer, as noted in the other post that was submitted a few minutes ago. I really appreciate all of the help that you’ve given us!
In order to duplicate the WIA driver issue, use only the “HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276 PCL6 Print Driver (no installer)” (LJ-Pro-200-color-MFP-M276-driver-only-13170.exe) driver package. This driver only package doesn’t appear to have any of the files you mentioned in your previous post in the Scan_App folder for the TWAIN functionality (but those files are available in the “full feature” setup). We copied the entire “driver-only” folder to our plug and play driver folder, and the drivers automatically install. Once they get installed, there isn’t a TWAIN option anywhere to be found in any scanning application, just the WIA driver as far as I can tell. Adobe Acrobat 10 when using the ADF then skips some pages when scanning.
However, now that you’ve found the install files for the TWAIN driver for the scanner, this should be a non-issue for people as they can just install those and use TWAIN instead, so thank you!
Also, I find it rather amusing that you were able to help us with what appears to be an HP issue far better and faster than HP did or could. We spoke with seven people at HP, and not a single one of them pointed us in any useful direction or provide us with any useful information on the matter; had we followed any of their advice we would have lost countless hours (one person suggested taking the scanners apart and thoroughly cleaning the rollers, even though it was clearly stated they work fine from a hardware perspective with the full feature software installed and that they are brand new). So anyway, thank you. If you require anything else from us, let me know.

How to find out the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size of placed images?

Is it possible to find out the placed image details like Pixel Dimensions(Width,Height) Document Size(Width,Height) in illustrator through scripting. Kindly advice me with some examples.

http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbaa316.59b84fd8
I hope the snippet therein will get you started.
But after all, when you place an image via pi=layer.placedItems.add() it should pop in with its default dimensions, so that you have pi.height and pi.width ready.
Is this what you are aiming at?

from the FAQs on Staples website:
I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
Or does it occur in all other applications.
Check your Work preferences first:
If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.
