  • Defining page size in XML Publisher

    Can we define page size using XML Publisher APIs.
    We have a problem where a single RTF template will be used for different countries and depending upon the country, the report needs to be printed on Letter or A4 or anything.
    I could find a parameter for Orientation but none for page size.
    Is there something we can do for defining page size or we need to rely on the printer setup.

  • 6 x 9 page size for self published book

    I want to self publish a book using a 6 x 9 inch page size. I can't seem to find this size in available list in pages. Any ideas?

    You can alway create you own page size in the Page set up. Beneath all the sizes you can see click on custom. Now you can create a page of any size you like.

  • Adobe pdf 8.0 not outputting correct page size from publisher 2007

    i have windows vista home premium with microsoft office 2007. microsoft publisher is not outputting the correct page size when converting to pdf. In Word 2007 i have the document size 4.5 x 6, and if i convert with the adobe add in, the new pdf is exactly 4.5 x 6. In publisher i have a postcard size 8 x 5, when i print to pdf or convert using the converter, it sticks the postcard in the center of an 8.5 x 11 page with crop marks. I can't work with this, i need the pdf to output the exact page size as the microsoft publisher document. i've tried changing page sizes in page setup in the publisher print dialog box as well as the advanced settings in pdf. it doesn't make a difference. it always prints on 8.5 x 11 and centers the postcard in the middle of the page. any help is appreciated

    Think of the paper size in publisher (and likely the printer options) as the setting that Publisher is trying to produce when printing. Think of the paper size in the Adobe PDF printer properties as actually putting the proper paper in the printer. If you do not do the latter, you will get the printout properly sized in terms of your setup and printed on 8X11 paper that is put in the printer. They selection of the paper in a printer is not typically an automatic feature of print drivers. One is the sizing issue of the application and the other is the actual paper that is used. If you printed to actual paper, you would actually put in the 8X5 paper or whatever in your printer. If you used 8X11 paper in the printer, then you would likely get the same result you have in the PDF.
    There may be two convert options in Publisher (depending on the version of Publisher). One would be PDF Maker, the Adobe add on. The other would be a convert to PDF provided by MS. The latter started coming with OFFICE 2007. Also, with OFFICE 2007 you needed a newer version of Acrobat to get the Adobe PDF Maker (AA8 I think was a minimum). If you use PDF Maker, then you have to select the printer properties in PDF Maker for the paper.
    I just did a test sample with AA5 (sorry, that is what is on this machine - but I am sure I would get the same result on my other machines). I created a word processor document with a 5X8 dimension and printed to the margins (set to 1 in). I then printed to the Acrobat Distiller printer (the old name for the Adobe PDF printer) after setting the page to a custom 5X8. The end result of the PDF was a PDF that was 5X8 with 1 in margins of my printing as I had selected. I thus printed with a custom page size in my document and matching page size in the printer properties, getting the expected result. However, I am getting inconsistent results when I try with WORD on this machine.
    To be more helpful, I guess I am going to at least have to try my AA7 on my notebook with OFFICE 2003. Those are both behind your version levels, but I would expect the results to be the same. I will also try with my word process that worked out fine here, but did not retain the paper size setting in the driver, when WORD would not allow the size reduction (that is the inconsistency I mentioned!).
    I will report back later. Bill

  • Same content, two books each with its own page size -- best way to manage?

    Does anyone have any suggestions for producing two FrameMaker books that:
    Contain identical content that must also be periodically updated
    Must be delivered as two separate PDF books, each book having a different page size
    I'm familiar with migrating FrameMaker content from one page size to another: Create a new chapter template of the desired size, then import styles, etc., and content into that new template.
    But IF one must deliver the same content in two different books, AND each book using a different page size (U.S. Letter and B5), AND the content is periodically updated and maintained, THEN what's the best way to manage that same content, two different page-sizes delivery problem?
    PDFs are generated from FrameMaker 7 or 8 (we have both) via Adobe Distiller 9.
    Cheers & thanks for your help,
    Riley

    Use three directories - one for the master FM document, and one "build" directory for each of the formats you need. When it's time to build, copy all the files into the relevant build directory and do your stylesheet applying, book regenerating, and printing in the build directory.
    If you decide to handle it in FrameMaker (rather than Acrobat), then use two stylesheets - one with all the formats you need and letter-sized pages, and one with no formats and with B5 sized pages. This way you only need to manage one stylesheet for most formatting controls (except page layouts), and you only need to import the page layouts when you want to build a document or "toggle" it between different page sizes. How similar these two stylesheets are to each other (on the master pages) depends on how much you think you can get away with:
    If the page sizes are similar, use different pages sizes but identical text frames on the master pages if you can. This would give you identical pagination although the margins would be different. You might be able to find an optimum "compromise" text frame size that fits both page sizes reasonably well.
    If you can't use the same text frame sizes on the master pages, then of course your pagination is going to change, but at least try to use text frames that are the same WIDTH. This avoids needing to manually adjust side-head areas, pictures, and table widths every time you change the page size.

  • How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

    To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6,  Snow Leopard. 
    I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers.  For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
    Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it. 
    I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have  used NeoOffice Draw, which  seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
    When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s).  No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer".   I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
    So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier. 
    Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's.  Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
    Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached.  Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
    Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes,  I am a printer capable of doing this....".  (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
    So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution?  Is there an existing product I can use?  Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers?  Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
    Thanks!

    Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

    You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
    What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
    You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
    Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

  • How-To Changing Page Size in iAuthor

    Hi,
    is there a possibility to change the page size of an iAuthor iBook? I would like to create one which has the same dimension in portrait and landscape mode because the original paper book ist published in this way (of course I know, that I will get empty space when turning the iPad in portrait mode).
    Thanks, Tom

    Yes, Since you can't change the actual size of the ipad, technically you can't have a square page on the ipad.
    This is the best you can do,
    When i look at the Yellow Submarine book on my ipad this is how it looks. (with space on top and bottom)
    (screen capture below.)
    So that is what I was suggesting.
    If you want the square book spread to fill the full height you will have part of one of the pages cropped off.
    (748 x 2 = 1496)
    472 pixels will be cropped off.
    this is also how the YS book works, (ugly in my opinion) this is not possible in IBA.

  • 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.

  • How do I change the page size of a pdf?

    I'm trying to send a manuscript to a printing service in another city. It was produced using Microsoft Publisher. In Acrobat Pro I changed the page size from the default (8 1/2" x 11") to the size of my finished document --- 7.8" x 10". Yet when I send the manuscript to the printer it's still the larger size. I've tried right-clicking on the pdf printer and changing to a close approximation (7.5" by 10"), which is listed as one of the available alternatives, but it won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

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

  • How do I shrink a MS doc to a smaller page size, not just divide the document into a smaller size?

    I am trying to shrink a microsoft word document from a standard page to a smaller, possibly half page, to create a printable reference booklet I plan on laminating but when I try to change the page to a different size, it doesn't shrink the document to that size, it just breaks that page into a bunch of smaller pages, breaking up whatever chart or words were on the page. Any insight?
    Ex. I have a chart that looks like this on a standard letter size MS word doc page layout.
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Header 3
    Header 4
    I want to change this so that is it on a landscape "half letter" MS word doc page size, shrinking the chart, and keeping it in tact.
    When I change the page layout size, or try to copy paste to the above mentioned half letter doc size, the chart breaks up into multiple pieces, creating 3 or 4 "half letter" sizes, with only part of the chart on each.
    Help MUCH appreciated!

    You'll need to create a custom page size under "Page setup..." in Word. Word really isn't the best application for what you're trying to do, but a custom page size with custom margins should work.
    EDIT: Oh, and you'll need to change the sizes on your table, obviously.

  • Image Capture and Preview: bad PDF page size

    When scanning to a PDF document with Image Capture, the resulting PDF always has an enormous page size. For example, a 3"x3" image scanned at 300dpi will appear as a 12.5"x12.5" page in the PDF. Scanning at 72dpi will create the appropriate size page, but the file is (of course) unsuitable for printing due to the low resolution. It's as if Image Capture (or the PDF creation routine) assumes the image is 72dpi even if it was scanned higher than that.
    Similar behavior can be seen in the Preview app. Use the following steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a decent quality image from a digital camera.
    2. Choose Tools Menu -> Adjust Size...
    3. Be sure both "Scale proportionally" and "Resample image" are selected.
    4. Change the Resolution to 300 pixels/inch, change the Width to 3 inches and click OK.
    5. Choose File Menu -> Save As...
    6. Change the format to PDF, choose a location and file name to your liking, and click Save
    7. Open the new document in Preview and check the page size (Tools Menu -> Inspector)
    Inexplicably, the page size is now 12.5 inches wide. I understand what it's doing, but I don't know why. The math is simple. Take the 3x3 inch example above: 3in * 300ppi = 900px / 72ppi = 12.5in
    I feel it's very bad form for the software to assume you always work in "screen resolution" (72dpi). The PDFs the software makes is next to useless for archival purposes because of the incorrect size markings.
    Anyone know of an alternative application to scan to PDF docs? The scanner's TWAIN software is not an option because it's PPC and won't run under Rosetta. How about an application that creates PDF documents from image files (besides Acrobat)? Best would be a way to fix the behavior or Apple's software.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem long ago. Apple is not doing anything to fix this problem

  • Cannot change page size with acrobat

    I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

    Thanks.
    The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
    From Word go to File> Print
    Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
    Select Paper Handling
    Check the Scale to fit paper size box
    Open the Destination Paper Size list
    Select your custom 6x9 Preset
    Click the PDF button
    Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
    The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

  • Custom page size in Acrobat Pro.

  • How to view image size compared to Page size

    In previous versions if you clicked the bottom left onthe frame of an image where the document size is you would get a small popup of an outline of the image size compared to the current page size. I cannot figure out how to see this in the new CS4 version. I've tried everything, help!

    Hello Heiko,
    I don't know, if it is possible, but I would say,
    it's not implemented yet. Maybe you can change the picture size and use then the pictures, that might be a workaround, if you can't change the height and width in VC.
    Best Regards,

  • Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

    We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
    We are using Adobe Reader 8
    The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
    The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
    The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
    We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application.  The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
    If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all.  The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
    If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer).  This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
    Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
    Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
    Thanks!

    No.
