Changing Print Margins of PDF

I'm trying to change the left print margin of my pdf. The print preview shows a document exactly like I'd like it to print. When it prints, an additional 5/8 inch margin is added to the left. Also, the document has shrunk. I'm wondering if the preferences are adding space for left binding in addition to shrinking the page. I do not see an option to "turn off binding". THe documet prints fine in MS Word. My choices are only to have a left or right binding. I'm using a MAC. Insights, please.

Ipad mini - changing print margins in Numbers

i use Numbers on an iPad mini - can anyone tell me how to adjust the print margins in a spreadsheet that has already been set up in Numbers?.

Wow - I can't believe they left margins out. I think I searched every nook and cranny of Numbers, and there are less nooks and crannies in 3.0 than 2.0 - less features it seems too.
Does anyone on the iWork development team care about how their software is actually used in the real world? Are the iWork engineers spread around too many projects to even give a d*mn.
Come on Apple pleeeeze get with it. You've had a large window of opportunity to create a solid set of mobile to desktop productivity tools with iWork. However, even after all these years you continue to completely drop the ball and give Microsoft a free pass for the only viable business and enterprise productivity solutions. Unless you have a clandestine agreement with MS to purposely fail, what on earth are you thinking?

How do I change page margins on pdf file on acrobat?

Hi there
Could someone please help me. I need to change the page margins on a pdf file using adobe acrobat. The page size is 7" by 10" which I have been able to change. I need to change the page margins to:
Left - .75"
Right - .25"
Top - .25"
Bottom - .25"
I know it is probably something really simple but I just can't figure it out.
Thank you for your help
Kate

Not simple at all. Actually, Acrobat isn't built to do this type of thing. You would want to make those changes in the original document and create a new PDF.
The main problem here is that Acrobat will not reflow the text as the margins grow.

Why do print margins change when I save or print as a pdf?

I am printing from a church software program. I need to save the report as a pdf so that it will print and fold on our new Xerox. However when I print to pdf, the margins change and the text boxes slightly move and no longer line up with the preprinted forms I need to use. Why does this happen? Is there any way to change the margins or columns, once in pdf?

Are you sure this is happening when you print to PDF?
And not, later, when you print the PDF?
What print scaling do you choose in Adobe Reader/Acrobat?

Print PDF Directly to Printer - Margins cut off

Hello,
I am using an application called PeopleSoft, and we generate out report files in PDF format.
If I direct the output file directly to the printer then the right and bottom margins are cutting off the document text.
Whereas, if I direct the printer out put to a network drive, then open the PDF in an PDF reader of Acrobate, then print the file it works fine.
Can anyone explain to me why this is so, and if there is a way to change the margins, when sending the output to the printer. To ensure the entire document is printed.
Thanks in advance,
Matt.

Yes, same PDF file.
I run a batch process that generates the report output file, I can choose to direct the output directly to a network printer, or save it to a network drive.
If I choose to direct the output run to the printer then the right margins and bottom margin is cutting off the text of the actual report file.
However, if I direct the output to be saved to the network drive, then open it using Adobe Reader, then print it, the entire report document fits easily within the margins and no text is being cut-off.
I lack the technical knowledge to explain how/why this is happening.

How to change Margins in PDF?

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I am evaluating 8.0 Professional on my pc (XP SP2 w/ 3.5GB of RAM and 2.5GHZ CPU). I want to see if the Professional can modify margins of pdf files that I get from various places but I am not finding anything in the documentation or via google. This should be an easy thing to do, like in MS Word you go to "Page Setup" and change the margins. I cannot find this functionality in Acrobat 8.0. Can someone please tell me how to modify the margins? The document in it's present configuration wastes paper and leaves alot of it blank when it could be printed on. Trying to be a conscientious worker by not wasting paper and Acrobat is not cooperating with me.
Thanks,
Erik

Dear Dimitri,
That is super - a simple command.
I just wish the folks at Adobe would do the same for those doing printouts. When you are dealing with historical documents, many taken from microfilm, generally there is no consideration as to binding margins. If one wants to wax philosophical on this, while technology changes ever so rapidly, one thing that is always viewable is the printed page or photo. A classic exanple of technological change is sound recording. We started out with cylinders. Next came records, first 78 rpm, then 45 rpm for individual songs and 33 rpm for longer pieces. Casette tapes and 8-track tapes were next, followed by CD's. Now we have mpegs. The conundrum was exemplified in one of the early Superman movies, wherein the history of Krypton was recorded on green crystals. Technology is constantly changing, which compromises the ability to play back what has been recorded in the past. At the National Archives and Records Administration in College Park, MD, some of the researchers' copies of motion pictures are on antique 1" Beta tapes. The machines to play these, antiques in and of themselves, are in terrible shape. The primary copies, however, are still on film, although one wonders how long these, too, will last. I presume that these are stored under refrigeration.
We can see the issue in condensed time with the development of computer operating systems and software. While Microsoft has generally attempted to provide retroactivity, a document written in the newer versions of Office may be a .docx, whereas older software doesn't recognize this. Fortunately, most friends are willing to downgrade their copies so I can read them. Support for Windows XP will eventually vanish. While this OS can continue to be used by those that have it, replacing peripherals such as scanners and printers may make this problematic.
But, actual photos and printed pages are readable with the Mark 1 eyeball, regardless of how they are produced.
Regards,
Richard

How can I change the margins on a fillable PDF

I am looking to change the margins on a fillable PDF that is required by the CRA because page 2 of 10 is blank. If I were to print it and send it off with the blank page it will get sent back as 'not completed properly'
Any ideas on how to get rid of the blank page???

Oh I understand that it is free. I just don't understand why a fillable document that is required by a government agency such as the CRA has a blank page in it and the program they insist you use to fill out the form cannot remove that blank page. That's where my annoyance lies.

Printing to Adobe PDF Changes Checkbox Selection in Document

Hi,
We have a PDF that we got from a client from their financial institution. One page has sets of checkboxes on it.
If we do File - Save As and save it as another PDF, the checkboxes stay as is.
If we print the file to our digital copier, the checkboxes stay as is.
However, if we print the PDF to the Adobe PDF print driver, the values of the checkboxes change.
Before print to Adobe PDF:
Yes
Yes
<no response>
After print to Adobe PDF:
No
No
Yes and No
It's as if the printed copy gets the photo negative values of the checkboxes that were actually checked on the original.
I've tried all of the different options in the Adobe PDF printer preferences, like unchecking "Rely on system fonts only; do not use document fonts" as well as all of the "Comments and Markup" dropdown box settings and the Page Sizing options doesn't seem to matter either.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've tried it on both Acrobat Standard 11.0.0 and 10.1.6
Thanks in advance,
John

Is the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox? If not, then try that version to see if the issue persists.
BTW the ESR version of Mozilla Firefox IS the supported version of Mozilla Firefox.

How to change the print margins in Acrobat XI

I am trying to print two pages per sheet on an 8 1/2 X 11 cardstock in landscape mode. The problem I am having is that adobe's default margins are 1" and this leaves a lot of room around the edges and leaves the pages difficult to read. How do I change these default settings? I don't believe scaling will work because that doesn't change the margins. Please let me know something. Thank you ahead of time.

Using ID CS3 -- Can I change a B&W PDF to print in process blue?

Would like to change a B&W PDF to print in process blue - is this possible?

Huh. I was pretty sure it's tiff only, no psd - but then I ran a test and found that I could add a swatch to my test psd within InDesign. And I thought that it was bitmap-only, but I just saved an 8-bit greyscale tiff out of PS and colorized it without issue.
(click click click)
Aha! Back in 2009, Peter said that transparency prevents color-ize-ability of tiffs in ID. That'd be the explanation, I bet.

How do I change the print margins in firefox 4.0 in ubuntu?

When I upgraded to Natty (Ubuntu 11.4), I was automatically upgraded from firefox 3.6.x to 4.0.x
I want to change the print margins, however when I go to File > Page Setup, it only gives me options for changing the paper size and orientation. There is no longer any sort of tab or option for margins, header & footer, etc.
Am I missing something or is firefox?

Try this:
EDIT:
* Goto about:config
* Look for print.printer_<PRINTERNAME>.print_margin
* change those to what you want :D
* Restart the browser.
ENDEDIT:
Should help you out.

How do I change page setup print margins from Milileters to inches?

How do I change page setup print margins from Milileters to inches?

This has to do with selecting the paper size in the print setup. If you select a (European) paper format that uses millimeters then the margins are in millimeters. To get inches just select an American paper format.

Cannot change the print margins when printing out my spreadsheet. Tried clicking on format and then Document but when I enter a number I always get " invalid number".

I cannot change the margins when printing out my spreadsheet. I clicked on the format then on document and got a entry box. But everytime I try entering a number to change the left margin ( tried .5 ) I get an " invalid number " response. I can print out the spreadsheet but always get a message telling me the margins may be too small and data may be clipped. Data doesn't get clipped but left part of the spreadsheet is right at the left side of the paper. Want to change the margin so I don't get that message.

Naming the spreadsheet app would do wonders for getting an answer.

I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf?

I have adobe reader X. Is there no way to save, print or e-mail changes to a secured pdf? I've inputted changes and have digitally signed, but none of my edits seem to save?

By what kind of security I meant what is allowed and what is not allowed under the security tab that I mentioned in my last post?
You can look at that and see if it restricts what you are trying to do. If it does then yes, you need a version of Acrobat (and the password of course) to change it.

Default printing margins

I'd like to change the default printing margins and image position. Currently the default is center. I'd like to change the default to 0.5" on the left and top.

I have spent a lot of (frustrating) time trying to sort this out and to research it.... Finally gave up and then... Eureka, I figured out a good solution...
Print the file (using what Elements gives you) as a PDF file... Once you have done this you can open it up in Word (or other software I am sure) and then play with margins to your heart's content.... I also found some other neat things in Word to help with frames, borders, etc.
Good luck
