Change PDF print layout

I am attempting to print multiple pages per sheet. I have the option to customize the number of pdf pages per printed page. However, if I were to choose any layout that is 1 across and any number down per sheet, the pages always print down the middle. There is no way to print everything on the left side.
For instance, I have a powerpoint that was provided to me as a pdf. I cannot get the original and I would like to print this copy. I would like the slides to print multiple per page down the left side, leaving the right side to write notes. However, choosing multiple pages per sheet and then customizing the layout to 1x3 prints three slides in a column down the center of the page. Is there a way to print them 3 in a column down the left side of the page, leaving the right side blank?

Colum is pointing you to that because it tells you how to remove what you have referrred to as Chapter Layout and that item is in the third page of the wizard. I suspect however it is the TOC you want to remove. If you remove Chapter Layout in the wizard, you will not have any content.
You can change the font with a different workflow. Generate to Word instead of PDF and you can change the style there. If you are doing this frequently, map to a Word template and amend the style in that.

Changing iCal Print Layout

Hi
When I print a calandar month, the month and year are top left on the paper so that when I hole-punch the page to stick in my filofax, the month has got a big hole in the middle.
Is there a way of changing the print layout so that I can move the month a bit towards the centre ?
Any suggestions very welcome. I hate it looking untidy !!

I've been battling the lack of a "Page Setup..." menu in iCal for several hours, even after reading the fix above. Some of my conclusions and a tip:
1. It seems that iCal 'gathers' the paper/printer info when it starts up. It is therefore a waste of time to set these dimensions while iCal is still running/open.
2. Any app that allows access to the "Page Setup..." menu can be used to create/modify a custom/existing choice.
3. It may be better to set up a 'custom' setting using "Any Printer" rather than any specific printer you may have.
Perhaps the most important fact I discovered is that it is more important to set the paper dimensions than the actual margin numbers! iCal seems to prefer using a minimum margin setting regardless of what is defined in any "Page Setup..." item. But it will recognize and respect a slightly smaller page size and print within it. For example, my final success came when I re-defined the normal 8.5 x 11 inch paper as 8.25 x 10.75 inches! Just be sure to crate this as a custom, named setting so you can find and select it in iCal.
BTW, I have not attempted other 'standard' paper sizes, just the 'full-size' version.
Anyone have an idea why iCal ignore the GUI standards?! Or is simply another attempt at 'integrating' all apps; like using Safari to tell the OS to use another browser? What happened to Apple's 'user friendliness' mantra?

How can i change the print layout in i cal, how can i change the print layout in i cal

Im a franklin planner user and would like to convert to ical. How can I change the print layout in ical so I can print task on the left side and calendar events on the right side.

Hi Mike3232,
I'm afraid that it's not possible to adjust the print layout in iCal. Maybe you should think about changing to another program (BusyCal, etc.) that has the option to print the layout you want?
Good luck!

Change in Print Layout

Hello,
I am working on a interactive PDF whose Print Layout is different from the screen view of the form.
So what gets printed is different from what is seen on the screen. I have the Print Layout available to me.
Hope I am clear. Can this be done?
I am using Livecycle designer 8 and Acrobat Pro 8.

You can make objects visible only on the screen by selecting Object => Presence => Visible (Screen Only). You can do the same for printing by selecting the Visible (Print Only) option.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Limited Logistic cannot change open Print Layout Designer?

Dear Experts,
My customer has multiple Purchase Order layouts, they are using Limited Logistic user license and have full authorization to Change Default Report.
However, when they click on the Print Layout Designer, the pencil icon from toolbar, an error message prompt, You cannot open Window [60213] Type List Form with your current license.
Online License Authorization document that i have read does not provide details information about Limited Logistic vs Print Layout Designer.
Can someone please advice me is it SAP limited logistic license design or is it a bug or is it some setting has been done wrongly?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Hi Gordon,
The SAP Note No: 1223477 is indicating what happend last time. But for the new customers who start using SAP B1 8.8, when they purchases limited logistic, they get limited logistic license with the correct access right defined in https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000953982007E, no more professional license is given.
Below statement is quoted from SAP Support Portal:-
New user types are now enforced
The new user types that have been introduced in the SAP Business One pricing and licensing model are now enforced in the SAP Business One 8.8 application: The limited users and indirect users are implemented; the use of the add-on access user is re-defined (this user will now be a normal user).
Please correct me if I understand the statement wrongly.
Thanks.

Outlook 2010 change page print layout to A4 from letter

We have an issue with Outlook 2010 showing print page layout as "Letter" by default. We require it to be default set as A4. How can we change that centrally through a GPO or even SCCM (script)?

Hi Grafity,
Have you checked the setting on the printer? Make sure the setting on the printer has been set as A4.
Normally, a program uses the default document properties that are set for a printer, and the initial defaults for a printer can be modified by the administrator. When a user connects to the printer, the user's defaults are set to these global
settings. For more information on setting the printing default preferences, see
Set printing defaults.
Note that changes made by an administrator after a user has established a connection to a printer have no effect on that user. For more information on setting personal printing preferences, see
Set personal printing preferences.

Dear Alexander,
Thanks for the reply.
In this I am using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'. I have checked the settings from SPAD that is also same in both servers for particular output device. But the patches are diffrennt in both the servers, the server from which layout is not coming properly having the high level patches in compare to the other server(which is working fine).

Acrobat ignores my PowerPoint Print Layout Notes Pages view and gives me regular slides PDF.

I have written a presentation in PowerPoint in the usual PowerPoint slide view. Now I want to print the presentation as a manual or booklet.
For this I go to the Print File Print page.
I select Print Layout > Notes Pages and click Print.
Acrobat creates a PDF only of the Full Page Slides. It ignores my change of print layout before creating the PDF.
I have tried printing to file (PostScript *prn). The prn is the slides view.
I could maybe create an image of every slide, and try pdfing it that way? But the file is 100 (slides) long. Anyone see an easier way of doing this?
Thanks in advance for any input,

Based on your description, I assume you are running on a Windows system with both Office and Acrobat installed.
There are three ways of producing PDF from PowerPoint in this situation.
The first method is to use the Save as Adobe PDF / PDFMaker solution that doesn't involve printing at all. It produces the highest quality PDF of all three methods, but the options for this allow the notes only to come out as PDF annotations in a separate,hide-able layer, not as the full Notes Pages format, regardless of the current settings for displaying the PowerPoint file on screen. You can see the annotations in comments pane in the comments tool. This isn't what you want.
The second method is to use the Microsoft Save as function and specify PDF instead of a .PPT or .PPTX file. If you press Options, one of the options is to publish the Notes Pages instead of just the Slides. That will give you what you want, but Microsoft's generated PDF is somewhat wonky, often generating invalid PDF with improper font references and other problems too numerous to get into here.
The third method is to print to the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance. The secret here is that under Settings, instead of selecting the default Print All Slides, you need to select Notes Pages. In other words, the print function ignores the view you currently have on the screen. The only problem with this approach is that the resultant PDF file is not nearly as high a quality as the PDF produced by Save as Adobe PDF, but it should probably be sufficient for your needs.
That having been said, I will submit a request internally to “beef up” our Save as Adobe PDF to provide an option for the Notes Pages as an alternative to putting out the notes as annotations.
Please advise if this solves your issue.

PDF Printing Issue - Customised Report Layout Error

Hi,
I am trying to get a PDF file output based on the customised RTF file created. I follow the following steps but I am facing an issue with that.
(i) Go to Shared Components > Report Queries.
(ii) Create a new Report query with more than one query.
(iii) Using the XML Data in the Report queries, create a Report Layout (RTF) file.
(iv) Navigate to shared components Report Layout and upload the RTF file.
(v) Once this is done, use the Report Layout created in the Report Queries. Select the Layout name from the Drop Down.
(vi) Click on TEST REPORT, this produces an error: Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded )
Additional Info
The apex instance configured with Embbedded plsql, rdbms version is 11.1.0.7.0 and the BI publisher version 10.1.3.3.
ISSUE DESC
When I use mulitple Queries even after using Generic Report Layout I get the output for the first query alone in the PDF and the remaining Queries are ignored.
And when i use a user defined template, then even If i have a single report query I get the error.
To summarise, I am not able to use the customised Layouts.
I have reproduced the issue in apex.oracle.com
Please log in using,
WORKSPACE: demo_test
USER NAME: [email protected]
pwd: vidhya
After logging in please select the Application Builder.
In that select the Application named PDF.
Select the Shared components > Report Queries
Select the Report Query named test.
Click on the TEST REPORT button in the Source Queries Section.
You will get the error.
Now in the same page in the Report Query Attributes Section change the Report Layout to Use Generic Report Layout and then click on 'TEST REPORT', this will give the PDF file without errors.
The same report has been called from the PRINT REPORT button provided in the page 1 of the application.
This issue is really urgent and critical. Require your inputs/help.
Thanks,
Ramya

I' an APEX newbie and believe I am having the same or a similar problem. I am (for now) developing a system using the hosted Apex development system online. I have created a Report Query which works fine with the default layout. I downloaded the XML (tried both sample data and schema) into Word 2007 with the BI Publisher Template Builder. I used the table wizard to create a simple layout containing all columns with no customization at all. Saved as an RTF, uploaded to Apex as a Report Layout, associated it with the Report Query, clicked Test Report -- and I got nothing.
When the is a PDF, I get the same error you mention ( Adobe Reader could not open the <file name> because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded ). If I switch to an HTML file the out is just a blank screen.
If I switch back to generic report layout, it works fine. This suggests there is something wrong with the template, though it looks fine in Word with the sample data.
I've searched the forums and Google for the better part of a day. What am I missing?

Query Print Layout - Generated PDF Document Name?

Hi All,
Query Print Layouts associated to my user queries work great for printing...but does anyone know if there is a way to set a more appropriate document file name when attaching an edited PDF report to an email? It seems to always automatically create a document name starting with 'Query Manager_-1_12' or something similar when attaching the report document directly to email.
I do realize that I can save the file locally, choose any name I like, then attach to email... but this defeats the purpose of being able to send the query report directly to the email icon.
If anyone knows how I can do this it would be much appreciated. There seems no option in the QPLD document properties.
Best regards,
John

Hello,
Yes, I have the same question. It could be great being able to choose the name of the document when creating a pdf. Even better if you could chose fields of the document for the name of the pdf, such as, name of customer, number of document, date, etc.
Is there any way for doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Javier.

How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

Hello All,
I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.

hi,
Can any body tell me how to make changes in the print layout of Fb03.
I want to add comapny address on the layout.
Regards
Mave

If you mean the correspondence, you have to change the configuration in Financial Accounting -> AR and AP -> Business Transactions -> Outgoing Invoices -> Carry Out abd Check Settings for Correspondence. There, you need to assign your custom Program or Layout for the Correspondence Type (like SAP19) and Program.
If you mean the display layout in transaction FB03, You can change a few settings, mainly with BKPF and BSEG fields. I don't think you can add company address, though.
Good luck,

Print Layout Designer - inconsistent output

Hi,
We have received consistent compaint from our client that the output of Print Layout Designer are inconsistent.
Eg: The same PLD template is used for An invoice print out from 2 different workstation. However, workstation A display the format properly, workstation B will have missing lines between boxes or the alignment is not displayed properly.
We have also recently encountered the problem that our client export the invoice to Acrobat and then print it. However, it displays properly for workstation with Acrobat version 8, 9, but missing lines for version 7.
Another scenario could be the form is displayed properly on the screen, but the physical print out to a printer is not consistent.
We really appreciate some share of thoughts here. Is switching to other report writer, eg: Crystal Report, the only option?
Edited by: Shwu Hua Gan on Aug 10, 2008 2:57 AM

Gordon,
Thanks for replying.
This is what happen to our client.
The font size of the customised PLD SAP Invoice is size 5. In order to preview the layout, they have to preview in PDF, once they are happy with the details and then print.
In some workstations, there are Adobe Reader version 8 or 9. In a couple of workstations, there are Adobe Acrobat version 9.
Let's say, there are 2 fields with the following properties:
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 10, Width = 10.
Adobe Acrobat version 9 display the border of the field properly. However, those with Adobe Reader 8 / 9 will see gaps between fields.
If we change them as follows the field the gap;
Field A, Left = 0, Width = 10.
Field B, Left = 9, Width = 11,
Then those with Adobe Acrobat version 9 is missing the border for because Field A overlaps with Field B. But Adobe Reader 8/9 will print fine. It also works fine if user click 'Print Preview' as normal and then click 'Print'
Does anyone knows whether this inconsistencies is caused by
- printer drivers; or
- Adobe; or
- SAP Business One.
