Changing the page margins when printing

I have searched this forum and have not found an answer.
I am trying to print my resume, which is a web page, to a PDF. The default makes the page margins too narrow for my taste but no matter what I do, I cannot seem to change it. I tried to define a new paper format with a letter size and larger margins but that does not appear to make any difference at all.
It works in FireFox but the imbedded hot-links do not work like they work in Safari. Anyone have a solution?

I had done that, defined a paper with wider margins, but I had not logged out and back in. Well, now I not only made my new sheet definition using the instructions, but I made it the default paper in the Print & Fax system preference, logged out and back in, and then even tried restarting. Safari (and interestingly all other applications) default to the standard letter size with standard margins even though my custom page with the custom margins shows as the default in Print & Fax. Sheesh!
Does anyone know of another browser that you can print to a PDF and the hotlinks within the document will remain good? They do not with Firefox.

How do you change the page margins?

Hi There,
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I can't figure out how to change the page margins. If you look at the image below, I am trying to extend all of the margins so I can fit more text in. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I do not see where I click "toolbar" or "Document", etc. I even typed "adjust document" and "header/Footer margins" into the help box and I couldn't find it. Are you able to tell me how to do it starting from "File", "Edit", "Insert", "Format", etc? Or do I need to click on something with the new inspector. The option are "Style", "Layout" and "More". Thank you so much!

Why is there a thick line in the page margin when I use auto page number?

I am having a problem with an automatic line which appears in the left, in the page margin, outside the footer whenever I insert auto page numbering into a booklet. This line looks like a thick "l" and is on the left of each page despite the numbers being on the 'outside' (alternate sides) of each page.
The line only disappears when the numbers are removed. I cannot highlight/edit the line and they show up as short thick marks, the height of the font on each numbered page when the document is printed.
Does anyone know how I can get rid of them?

Thank you, fruhulda.
Actually that is what I am doing as a workaround. It works but it requires me to make an unnecessary extra copy of the document. And after doing that, I sometimes carelessly keep working on the copy instead of the original, which results in untracked modifications. So I hope there should be a way to just hide the lines.
If there's no option to hide them, I think this is a bug of "View Final" mode, in which the document should be viewed in the "final" form.

Changing the starting line when printing on new page.

I am using Reports 6i. I have a report with a master/detail ralationship. The columns from the master query prints once only at the beginning of the report followed by numerous detail lines. However, should the detail lines continue printing onto a new page .... I would like to specify a particular position to start the print.eg 5 or perhaps 7 line from the top. Can this be done in reports 6i. Thanx in advance!

Reports allows you to position the objects anywhere you want on the page. The only reason that objects move up the page is because they are anchored to objects above them. When those objects don't print, the objects that come after move up.
You can create an object that prints on all pages but has no line and no fill color. This can then be used to reduce the amount the master frame can shrink by. (Make sure it prints on all pages. You might need to create seperate frames to surround the fields you want to see and the transparent field - then another to surround them both).
If you know the position that you want the details to print then you can position the detail objects in the appropriate location and change the properties against the frame that surrounds he detail section as follows:
"Base Printing On" to "Enclosing Object"
"Print Object On" to "All Pages"
Alternatively, create an explicit anchor between the frame and the top of the report.
Finally, if you want to parameterise the position of the detail records, you need to create field that dynamically re-sizes to push everything below it down by the required amount.
- create a field object that is at the same level as the master objects
- set the "print object on" propert to "All but First Page"
- set the source of the field to something like "desformat".
- then use the srw.set_field_char(0, "<some text with a number of returns>"); in the format trigger
This allows you to push everything below the field down by any desired amount.

Howto change left/right margin when print

In a report we defined a left margin of 2 cm and a right margin of 1 cm.
When printing the report simplex everything is ok.
But when printing the report duplex we want to change the margins. Odd pages should print "normal" - but the page on the back, i.e. even pages, should then be "moved" to the left. That means the left margin has to be 1 cm and the right margin 2 cm.
How can we achieve this behavior?

Hi Rainer
For information on settings for Duplex printing please refer to the below link:

Hope this helps!!

How do you change the page format to print a larger area?

Hi there, another new to mac and new to numbers guy.
I'm trying to find the windows equivalent to change page format.
I want to reduce the blank border surrounding my table and print a larger area. How do you reduce the blank border that prevents you from printing up to the paper edge?
cheers

Page margns in Numbers are set in the Layout Inspector.
Open the Inspector and click the Layout button.
Edit the four margin settings as you wish. Reduce the (page) header and footer settings to zero if you don't want to include running headers or footers on your pages.
Note that margins will be limited by the capabilities/settings of your printer. Printing to the edges of the paper usually requires a choice to be made in the Print dialogue as well as for the document itself.
Regards,
Barry

Pages changes the page size when exporting to pdf

When exporting a pages document (size 8.5w x 7.0h) to pdf it changes the size to (8.5w x 11.0h) any suggestions on exporting it correctly.
If not is there a way to resize it once it is a pdf or other software to convert it correctly?
I am using Pages 09 with Lion 10.7.1

Hi Christine
I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
Can you please let me know the version of CR you are using?
You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

Adjust page margins when printing from websites

I'm trying to print a page from the internet that contains a picture and text. When I click on "printer friendly" the page comes out with text on the right side cut off.

Thank you for your replies. Here are the procedures I have tried:
Page is open in Safari, click on file, print. Whenn the print menu drops down that is when the page shows as being cut off on the right.
I don't have an option of printing to PDF however I have tried to save it to PDF and the page does the same thing.
It's just so puzzling/frustrating.

How do I change the default setting when printing a book

I live in Mexico and i just bought an iMac, the iPhoto software defaults to the Spain website and I would like to change the settings so that I can print books and have them sent to an US address. Any ideas?

According to this article, you cannot have iPhoto books shipped to an U.S. address if your billing address is outside the U.S. or Canada.

An external source changing the page shown when a new tab is opened.

I recently downloaded some freeware and, without permission, it installed some malware by the name of My Start by Incredibar that hijacked the home page, new tab page, default search engine, and other functions in Firefox.
The removal of the program itself was a simple task, as was disabling and uninstalling the addon it had installed in Firefox. I thought everything was back to normal, but when I went to open a new tab the My Start site appeared instead of the default blank page.
Will a reinstall without deleting user data solve this problem? I would rather not have to pull a full clean reinstall as I have a lot of addons with custom settings and logins.

Did you check for the presence of a user.js file that might re-add the prefs on each start of Firefox?

Change page margins to print email

Is there any way to change the page margins when printing emails? When I print out an email, the page margins are a good 1" on top, left and bottom so I have to reduce the type in order to keep simple emails on one sheet of paper.

I am having the same issue - I have orders coming in by email that I need to print out as order tickets. In the email I have the submissions set to come in as html tables, all of a uniform size. I want to print 4 per page, and can do that by selecting emails, "Print", and then 4 pages per sheet in the print settings and it gives me 4 unique orders on one sheet. But the giant standard margins make it so the submission tables are way too small and I don't want the email header information displayed. This really doesn't seem like too much to ask, I hope it's not really as impossible as all the forums make it seem! BDAqua, you mentioned possibly making a script for this?
Side note - the order submissions are generated from my form on Jotform. This is a great form builder, at least in my first-time experience, but seems lacking in output options - reports can only be generated as tables, and on the web-based submission viewer the print options are extremely limited as well.
Any ideas? I'm running 10.9 and I know this is a 10.4 forum, but there's not much on this anywhere else and it doesn't seem like mail has changed much in this regard. Thanks!

A way to reduce margins when printing multiple pages per sheet?

I really like the new leopard print dialog box. Is there a way of reducing the large margins when printing 2, 4, or more pages per sheet (in Layout)?

You could use custom page sizes (in the Page Setup dialog) or you could see if the settings in the Paper Handling panel help at all.
