Can't print entire 11x14 PS (v 8.0) file in "Print-Save as Postscript" - Always crops to 8.5x11

MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.8
Layered CMYK file in Photoshop v 8.0 (original CS version)
Trying to save this as a .ps Postscript file so I can open up in Distiller and create PDF for 4 color printing @ 300dpi. Doc size 14x11.
In Preview, everything looks good.
When Print is selected, I get message "Image is larger than page's printable area, some clipping will occur"
Proceeding ahead and saving file as Postscript it's cropped to 8.5 x 11, thus cutting off half of original artwork.
I have: quit PS and restarted, confirmed paper size in Page Setup is set at 14x11, created a virtual PS printer... Nothing is working & I don't see anywhere there's a default page size of 8.5x11.
Also tried creating PDF file in Acrobat 6.0.1 Professional but got error message.
"Create PDF from file" >> "Could not open because it is not a supported file type"
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since Adobe PDF Printer is not available on Snow Leopard all applications that used Adobe PDF Printer to print pdfs will not be able to print pdfs.

Illustrator CS3 can't print/save as PDF

I installed CS3 and the error message:
"The Save as PDF and Save PDF as PostScript options in the Printer Dialog are not supported"
Does this mean that its not picking up on the Adobe Acrobat/Distiller 8?
How would I activate this? Help!!
Same thing with InDesign CS3, can't print/save as PDF.
(this is on a mac)

It may be looking for your RIP ppd, as well as Acrobat 8. Acrobat should have installed all the necessary files, but you might take a look into that. I don't think Distiller is part of the Save-As procedure. You might take a look into "Add-A-Printer" OSX option and select Acrobat 8 there ( although it should have loaded during the install ). Another option is re-install your printer's software and any RIP software ( if available ). Before you do, get whatever updates you can from the manufacturer. It could also mean, after you've done the previous suggestions, you correct permissions on your HD using Apple's Disk Utility. Leave the machine ON overnight so that the Apple Utilities can clean house while you're sleeping.

Print Save as Postscript...

The page size of my document is 6 x 9. When I "Print > Save as Postscript..." the resulting PS document comes out as US Letter Size.
I can't find a way to specify the output size for PS printing/saving. Any suggestions?

Interesting, not perhaps for you, but from the point of view of technical writing. Why? Because of the difference in the printing philosophy for Mac OS (PS and raster) versus Mac OS X (PDF and raster).
In principle, in a PostScript process you have to have the device parameters as defined in the PDD PostScript Printer Definition at the point when the PostScript program is written.
The device parameters define such things as the format facilities of the device, the paper feed facilities of the device, and the colourant models of the device.
In a PDF process you do not have to have the device parameters at the point when the PDF is written, in fact you try to avoid this by writing the page description at a higher level of abstraction.
Things permitted in PostScript and EPS are prohibited in PDF, including such things as programmed screenings (possible in Photoshop) and transfer curves (possible in Photoshop).
Moreover, in so far as possible you should never (meaning never, never) write out PostScript to disk in order to convert that into PDF. Adobe Acrobat Distiller has been a dead product for a decade because PostScript does not support the intelligent profile model of the International Colour Consortium, the intelligent font model of the Unicode Consortium, or indeed transparency.

Can't Print/Save pdf Files

Is there an issue with printing/saving pdf files in Snow Leopard? Do I have to buy Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro to do this? The Adobe website says there are security features in SL which disable the Adobe pdf printer: "The Adobe PDF Printer is not available or is unusable in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6). This situation is due to security features in Snow Leopard that disable the Adobe PDF Printer. Adobe Acrobat 9.1 Pro removes the Adobe PDF Printer and adds a new Save As Adobe PDF command. Customers using earlier versions of Adobe Acrobat in Snow Leopard cannot use the Adobe PDF Printer." (From: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-print-pdfs-mac-os.html)
I can view the pdf in Safari but not print or save and in Firefox, I can't even see the pdf. I've had SL a short time and it's only recently that this started happening. It was working fine at first.
Thanks.

You don't need an Adobe plug-in to view PDFs in Safari, that functionality is built in. I'm guessing that your Adobe Reader plugin (or some other PDF-related plug-in) is incompatible with ML. Try disabling it. First, open Safari's preferences window and look at the Extensions pane. Is there anything PDF-related there? If so, disable it. Next, look in the following folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins/
(Yes, those are the same except for the tilde. The first one is at the root level of your hard drive, the second is in your user folder. That one is invisible, so hold down the option key and choose Library from the Finder's Go menu to go there.)
If you see anything related to Adobe PDF Viewer or Reader, remove it and restart Safari.

How can I print 2 5X7s on one sheet of 8.5X11?

I want to print one image as 2 5X7s on one sheet of 8.5X11 paper. In previous versions I could do this easily. Not so anymore. Here is my scenario. I use Windows 8 64 bit version 6.2 with Photoshop Elements 11.0. I use an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and its print software.
I choose : File Print enter, Orientation Portrait enter, More Options-Border Thickness .118" enter, Change Settings-Advanced Settings-Premium Photo Paper Glossy_OK enter, Select Print Size 5X7 enter, Position-Uncheck Center-Top=0 enter. The image on the screen has shifted to the top with a .118 border and has crop marks on the other three sides. I print my picture, turn the sheet around and repeat the process. I have 2 5X7s of the same image on the sheet of paper. However, this version does not like to do this. It works sometimes, and sometimes not. I am wasting too much paper and ink trying to figure it out. The image on the screen always looks correct, showing a 5X7. The image that prints may be a 5.75"X5" or may be a 6"X5". The border at the top chages from .118" to .80"
I tried using Picture Package as suggested before. It will not set up to print only one picture, and does not allow me to set my borders. The image came out as a borderless 5X7.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I tried it. It worked pretty good.
It should work perfectly if you have cropped the picture precisely. How are you cropping, step-by-step?
Barry5370 wrote:
Now I need to figure out how to get the correct borders on the images. .
Once you have done Select>all, go to Edit>stroke>(outline) selection.
Enter the width for the stroke/outline in px (try 4px or 5px, experiment), select a color, and place it inside (to maintain 5x7 dimension).

Can't print/save PDF with Pagemaker 7, Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit, Mozilla Firefox, NitroPro 5

Pagemaker 7, Windows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit, Mozilla Firefox, NitroPro 5
Installation of nitro seems to be o.k. Maybe i have the settings wrong in Nitro?
When i go to print in PM7 i am asked to Save and then get an error message from PM7 "General printer failure".
In PM 7 there are several options and i undoubtedly have one of them wrong. When choosing Nitro as the Printer
then i must select a PPD. There are 3 PPD choices and i have tried all of them:
Color General Adobe PDF 3015.102 General
Tried using the standard Print and the Export options but it was no go. So i've downloaded NitroPro and it appears
as a printer option in PM7 but neither does it work.
Aint desktop publishing fun, tho!!!!

Yes it's fun but not when you use Pagemaker on a completely unsupported
system. Either find yourself an old WinXP box or move to a new application.
If InDesign isn't your cup of tea, check out Scribus or Serif Page Plus.

How can I print, save or export from Data Modeler

From Oracle SQL Developer I select Tools > Data Modeler, then drag a few tables on the surface. Both Print and Save options in the File menu are disabled. Also, there's no export option. What is the purpose of Data Modeler. I', using SQL Developer 2.1.0.63.

It's Data Modeler Viewer included in SQL Developer 2.1. You need SQL Developer 3.0 or 3.1 EA1.

IPad 2 can not print screen

My iPad 2 can not print screen. It always appear the screen of “slide to power off”. Please help me! FYI, "Home-button" no any issue.

Something is not right.
If he's getting the power message to pop up quickly then something is indeed wrong.
If he's holding the two buttons down waiting for the screen capture flash--it will never come. One has to release one or both buttons to get the screen capture to complete.

Pages won't print/save/etc

Hello...I purchased a copy of iWork 09 from the apple store. I installed the software on my 2010 iMac. I also installed the software on my 2010 Macbook Pro. Works fine on my laptop but Pages says it can't print/save/etc until registered on my iMac. I registered. Still can't print/save/etc. Any ideas? I tried to purchase another copy of pages on the app store and it says that I can't get another copy because Pages is installed on my computer.

Kelly,
You could try starting over on the computer with the problem. You can delete all traces of any old copies of iWork with this script...

How can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

how can i print just one page of photo book without printing the entire book

Jim,
Take heart. We can help.
First turn on page view so you can see how the content of your sheet fits on the page(s). A Numbers document contains sheets (listed on the left) which in turn contain tables, charts, text, and graphics. Select the sheet you want to print on the left, then enable page view by selecting the menu item:
"View > Show Print View":
Now you should see your content and how it fits on one, or more, pages. If thie content is too big for one page use the controls and the bottom left of the window to expose the sheet controls:
Here a table is too big to fit on one page:
slide the "Content Scale" slider so the content fits:

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How can I print my A4 Book now in 8"x10.5"? RESIZE?

Hello
I have a book about 700 Pages already been printed a couple of times in A4 size,
Now the sponsor can only print it in max 8"x10.5"
This means the entire Book/file needs to be adjusted to this new size in order to get it printed.
I need to know what is the best option to do this.
Can this be automadet in Indesign or trough the export via printing?
I am very thankful for any help and advice.

I appologize this Forum is confusing to me.
I posted a new question in a new thread.
I am working on a book in Indesign.I have 740 pages in total. I have black and white and color pages meaning Images.I converted the black and white images in Photoshop to Grayscale files, before I imported the imges into in design. As
to reduce printing costs my printer asked me to make sure these single
pages are safed as either color or black and white pages,so the printer will recognice those pages and will print those according to their color/ black and white profile of the images.I thought this will happen automatically since my photos, digital images are either in color or grayscale.Apperently this did not happen.My printer just told me all pages are having color profiles.So I wonder is there a way in Indesign to give single seperate pages of my bookdifferent
color or b/w profiles? so the printer who will recieve a PDF from me
does prints bacl and white in a black and white modus.

Rather than ask you for more details here, I'm going to suggest that this is so far from related to the original question that you should start a new thread. tellus exactly what you mean by "single color pages," whether you mean convert for final output and wish to leave the color intact in the document during editing or for multipurposing, the version of ID, etc.

When printing anything off the internet it shrinks the full page into one forth of the full page. How can i print using the enitre page?

Every time I use firefox I can't print full pages off the internet. I will find the page I want, for example, map quest. I push the print button and my printer prints the entire page in one forth of the space. The entire page I printed can be found in the upper left hand corner of the full page, just shrunk down to a fourth of its size. How can i get a full page printed from the internet?

How can you print a single page of a multipage report.

I am using Office 2003 pro, the LabVIEW Report Gen Toolkit, LabVIEW 7.0, and Windows 2000. I have created a lengthy report with the first page being a summary. I would like the user to be able to select; print the entire report, or just the first page. Any ideas?

There are two ways you could go about doing this. They both are somewhat straight forward.
1) Calling a macro from LabVIEW in Word.
You could create a macro that would let you just print the first page and call this from LabVIEW when the user so desires. There is an example of how to call a macro if you use the example finder. Goto
Toolkits and Modules>>Report Generation for Microsoft Office>>Run Macro on Word Table
2) You can actually modify the print VI that comes shipped with LabVIEW. For Microsoft Word it is called Work_Print.vi and it is located with in the exclsub.llb. This can be found at..
..\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\vi.lib\addons\_office\_exclsub.llb
You can also find this by digging through the Print Report.vi
Inside this VI you will see an Invoke node that has the fields To and From. If you specify the start and end page here, by connecting integer controls or constants, this will let you specify the pages to be printed out.
NOTE: If you modify the Work_Print.vi you may want to save it outside of this library and locally to your application directory. Therefore make sure any report VI you are using within your app. now dynamically references this local version of Word_Print not the one in the report library.
Please don't hesitate to let me know if you need more information or a more descriptive explanation.
Have a great day!

How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option.

How can I print a whole email document and not a "screen shot" like I get in the Print Preview option. I'd like to print from "file" and print" like I can on other browsers (IE, for example). When I try to print from Firefox it grabs all my info (file folders, etc.) from the left side of the page. I need just the email information, not the entire screen information. Thank you!
-Bruce

I agree; I should, but I can't :) I have an orange Firefox drop down that I go to to print, and it allows me to select "print", "print preview" and "print setup", where I can change the margins. It always defaults to a full screen shot (I use Yahoo) and does not show just the email. I don't need to print what is on the left side of the screen or anything other than the email (I can achieve these things by using file-print from IE, so I know it is doable, and I am still going into Yahoo and using their email when I do it).
Hope this helps. I'm not a fan of IE, but I really don't like the print properties I'm getting here (I'm a long time Mozilla user, but I'm losing too much info with this option and can't afford that anymore).
Thanks for the help!
