Can you set Reader X's default Print orientation?

Hello -
We have a myriad of web docs provided in PDF form.  These are launched in a browser window using IE9 or 10.  These are various and sundry parts inventory lists and we are constantly calling them up to print, then dismising them until the next context based request.  IOW, the parts lists are not static, otherwise I'd tell everyone to just keep the one they get up on the screen.  They are produced by our corp HQ so we have no control over how they are authored.
When these docs appear in the browser window, they are in landscape mode (or at least appear to the eye to be).  When we print however they're printing in portrait mode -UNLESS- you remember to select landscape in the print dialog window before you hit <OK>.  So, why don't we just remember to do that?  We're humans, I guess.  And the other thing is the authoring office completely disables all Reader menus, toolbars and other screen elements.  You do get a small bar area near the bottom with controls to zoom in/out and print, etc.  So I was trying to attack this by calling up Reader at the workstation level to see if I could adjust.
I've looked extensively through Reader's excellent menu system trying to find a way to set Reader to always print landscape.  Of course, I can't find it.  Then it occurred to me that perhaps this is not a Reader issue and perhaps is a printer driver issue.  However, if we default the printer driver to landscape then we're facing the same problem with other applications that require printing like MS Word and so forth.  So that's not a real good option.
So, let me ask then if Reader does or does not have a default setting that can be set and that can persist session to session?  Even if I did this once a day, it would be better than having to hear the 'Gosh darn it' arias all throughout the day!  How about a launch script or launch switch?  Anyone know of one?
Thanks, all.

  • Can You Set Snooze Off (by Default) for New Alarms?

    I'd like to be able to have the snooze function off by default when creating alarms using the Clock app (particularly for alarms created via Siri, but also for manually set alarms), but there seems to be no way to do this. Do you have to create the alarm first and then edit it to set the snooze facility off?

    When you create an Alarm, the snooze option is on be default and there is no way to set this specifically to be off each time you make a new alarm.  If you use Siri, it will be with the snooze on.  If you set it up manually, you should see the snooze switch on the same screen you choose the time.  If you deice to edit an existing alarm, you will also see the snooze button.

    You are correct.

    No, in iOS 7.1.1 the snooze option is viewable when creating an alarm or editing.

  • Can you set a pdf to default the page scaling to 'off'?

    We have a pdf that our customers will print to measure their arm, but most printers tend to page scale and therefore the measurements will be off, is there a way to turn this option off in the pdf settings?

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

    Yes you shoud be able to print from the Samsung Stratosphere as long as is running Android
    If what you want is to print from anywhere you must use HP ePrint go here to see how to start with this super free service. 
    This will give more control but it can be use only when the device and the printer are in the same network i.e. Home Network

  • Can you set a second "Open with:" application for a file?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if something like this exists for OS X Lion or greater: you can set a default application to open a type of file, say Safari for all .html files, but can you set a second default application for a file?
    I usually open files using command + o or command + down arrow from the Finder and I've often thought how good it would be to hit an alternate keyboard shortcut to open the selected file in a secondary default application.
    For example, if I'm making a web page and have the .html selected in the finder I can hit command + o (or command + down arrow) to open it in Safari and if the file isn't open in my editor and is selected in the Finder I can hit, say command + option + o (or command + option + down arrow) to open the .html file in my editor.
    Does anyone know if this can be achieved in OS X Lion or greater?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi all,
    If anyone's interested in a partial solution, I've rigged up the following.
    I ended up using an Automator action coupled with Spark to capture a keyboard key combination. Spark: http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark
    I've used Spark before with good results, and although it's from 2008 it still works on Lion.
    I created an Automator action that does two things:
    gets the selected Finder items
    opens finder items in the text editor I'm using.
    I then saved the workflow as an application so that Spark could run it.
    I've set up a keyboard shortcut that Spark picks up and calls my Automator workflow. It all seems to work nicely.
    So, I've created a specific "open selected file with <text editor>" keyboard shortcut that should do for the time being.

  • How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    How can I set up my iPad to print to my Kodak ESP 7250 wifi printer

    Kodak has a firmware upgrade to allow a version of air printing via a third party service, google docs I think. You can e-mail documents to your printer, or you can set up a hardwired printer as a local print server and send them to that.
    Or you can look into an app. I have that same model of printer and use Print n Share and it works fine...slow but fine. I didn't go for the firmware cloud printing simply because I didn't want yet another online account.

    No, you can only connect to one Home Sharing account at a time. If you want to see the content of the other Mac's library you will have to turn off Home Sharing on the Apple TV and log back in with the other iTunes account.
