Controlling print options esp. fit to page

is there a way to control print options, particularly fit to page, from within the PDF itself?
We provide print ready files for our clients who print them as needed, but they are brochures that are set up for fit to page OFF, otherwise the white border (because it can't bleed) around it is uneven.
So they would send the file to our print shop and the printer would automatically print it with this option off, based on the pdf settings for that document.

Go to Properties (Crtl+D) and the advanced tab, you can set the print porperties that will come up by default there, it is still possible to over ride them though.

KDE: margins incorrect when printing because of fit-to-page option

I'm attempting to print a PDF file with Okular (happens with other KDE/Qt applications as well) to my HP Deskjet D2530 printer. The PDF has one inch margins on all sides, but when printing, additional space is added to the margins.
The page prints perfectly using lp:
$ lp /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Should also note it prints perfectly with non-KDE applications such as epdfview.
I turned on debug mode in CUPS to find what options KDE sends to CUPS. I narrowed it down to the "fit-to-page" option causing the issue.
I can reproduce the incorrect margins exactly with this command:
$ lp -o fit-to-page -o PageSize=Letter /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Now the issue I'm having is disabling this. I see nowhere in the KDE print dialog to disable fit-to-page, and have searched CUPS' documentation for a way to disable it on that end, but could not find anything. Searching for this issue has similiarly turned up nothing. I've also tried adding "fit-to-page=false" to ~/.cups/lpoptions with no result. I can't be the only one who has dealt with this. Is there some configuration option I'm missing somewhere or should I report this as a bug upstream?

hello!
i have a similar problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1402373
for me the fit to page cmdline option does not apply and the output is always bigger than one page ... same goes for print menues with the option to turn on/off fit to page ...

How can I control printing highlighted part of a page?

I have a problem with a new computer on which I can not print highlighted part of a page. When I try the highlighted part is not printed. If I use my old computer the highlighted part is printed as expected. I have compared the settings for both the printer and Firefox on both computers, but do not see any difference. Both runs Win7, runs on the same network and use the same printer. Only difference I can think of is that the new is a 64 bit computer. Any ideas of how I can solve my problem?

Hi 16tons,
The issue you are referring to might be a known bug. You should look at CWW's post in this thread:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294
A fix is planned for the next Firefox update.
Hopefully this helps!

OBIEE 11g Controlling Print Option in Dashboard

Hi All,
We have a requirement in which we need to secure Print and Export option to specific users/groups only. OBIEE does not have any security option by which we can restrict print option to specific groups.
Only 1 option is to create multiple sections and apply security on the sections. This is what I can think of.
Please suggest me if there are any workarounds so that we can restrict print and export option only to certain groups.
Thanks in advance.

Could any one please suggest.

Printing JPanel to fit one page, Urgent (thanks for help)..........

hi all,
I am trying to print and can't get the right scaling. My problem is if the JPanel that has lot of images inside it is too big to come on one page width and height then I want the print out to be on one page. If my panel's height is too large to fit on one page and the width is only half of the page or less than page half of the width. Then I want to scale it's height only to fit on one page while keeping the width the same during printing and the images also to be scaled accordingly. And if my height is too small lets say less than half the page and the width is too large too fit on one page then in this case I want to print the original height or keep the height to be shown on the printout as it looks on the screen but scale the width to fit on to one page and the images also to be scaled accordingly. But my following piece of code doesn't honor this though it fits on one page. It keeps on increasing the width or height to fit the whole page thought the width or height is less than that and the images are also expaned accordingly. I want to scale the images too and only fit the width or height if any is greater than one page. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Dear Nadia,
Thanks for the info.
If I understand it correct I can make a copy of my actual css file.
Rename it this copy to e.g. print.css
And then make some changes such a letter fonts and colour
Linking this css file to my pages and specify it is only for `print1`
Right?
I`m using a template so if I amend the template like this and have all pages updated automatically that should do the trick?
Right?
Is there somewhere where I need to mention that e.g. the page needs to be reduced onto 95% by printing?
Or will the print.css do the trick?
Sometimes I get confused on what css can do and it can do a lot.
Many thanks for helping me out here.
Kind regards
martine

Control printing with ALTERNATIVE in several pages

Hello all,
I'm currently working on generating a PDF where each page needs to be conditional (ie user can print 1st & 2nd page, or 1st, 2nd & 3rd, or 1st & 3rd). Altogether there are about 20 pages.
The use of alternative + command with next page works great for the determining the print of the 2nd page, but I can't seem to get it to work the same for the printing of the 3rd page, etc. I did notice that in order for the contents of the 2nd page to print, they HAVE to be placed in a secondary window, but I can't put the next page commands in a secondary window. What I've tried is to have the secondary window first (with all the page content), then a main window (with alternatives & commands), but this doesn't seem to work. (Also, listing main widow then secondary doesn't work.)
When I add breakpoints, it seems as though the main window is never called. (I can see the breakpoints in the F01 include, but they are never called.)
Any ideas?
Here's what I'm needing:
Page 1
- alternative 1 -> TRUE -> go to page 2
- alternative 1 -> FALSE
--alternative 2 -> TRUE -> go to page 3
--alternative 2 -> FALSE
---alternative 3 -> TRUE -> go to page 4
Page 2
- alternative 1 -> TRUE ->go to page 3
- alternative 1 -> FALSE
--alternative 2 -> TRUE -> go to page 4
--alternative 2 -> FALSE
---alternative 3 -> TRUE -> go to page 5

OK, here's the technique I used to make this work.
I pass a table with pages to be printed (PAGETAB). In the main window, I loop thru PAGETAB and use it's value to use the layout for that particular page (grouped into a folder, with conditions). At the end of the main window, I check to see if this the last page to be printed, else I use Command to force a page break (otherwise, 2 forms may print on the same page).
Here's a sample of the code:
Page
Main window
- program lines -> get total # lines in PAGETAB into V_TOTAL
- loop @ PAGETAB
-- program lines -> add 1 to V_LOOP
   -- folder 1 -> condition -> PAGETAB = "PAGE1"
    --- page 1 layout stuff
   --- alternative - if V_LOOP < V_TOTAL
TRUE
command -> go to next page -> Page
   -- folder 2 -> condition -> PAGETAB = "PAGE2"
     --- page 2 layout stuff
     --- alternative - if V_LOOP < V_TOTAL
TRUE
command -> go to next page = Page
... rest of pages

Controlling print options through triggers

Hi,
I developed a report which runs in 2 modes.
1. Automatic mode(runs in a request set)
2. Manual Mode(submitted manually through SRS as a single request)
I got a new requirrment where I need to print the output when print flag is Y and the report is in Automatic mode.
Always print when in manual mode.
After a bit of googling, I found this API
fnd_request.set_print_options (printer =>’<printer name>’,
style =>’PORTRAIT’,
copies=>1,
save_output => TRUE,print_together => ‘N’)
would it work in my case?
If so, I am guessing that I will have to use in After Report Trigger.
Thanks,
Rakesh

Rakesh,
I suggest you you post your question in the [EBS General Discussion|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=475] forum. You should get a much faster response to your question. It's my understanding that EBS controls whether output is automatically printed through a User Profile setting. Its been a while since I've worked with the EBS so I could be wrong.

Controlling print options in acrobat

Hi,
I am new to this forum. Just started using acrobat at work and i need some help. I was wondering if it is possible to set the print feature to make a pdf not printable until you select a checkbox in it, then the pdf would be able to print. If this is possible could you tell me how to do this or where to go to learn how?
Thanks

You will have to use JavaScript to test the conditions and make the button visible. But you will not be able to stop the use of the menu action "File => Print" or the <Ctrl> +"P" keystroke action.

Printing large sized graphic, cannot find "fit to page"

Hi I am working in Illustrator 10.
I am trying to print a big banner (5x15') down to scale on a 8x11" letter sized piece of paper.
When I print, Illustrator does not have the option in my print dialog box to "Fit to Page" or "Scale to page" or something along those lines.
Does this have anything to do with tiling? I never understood that & I was never able to resize the dotted tile box.
Anyway I have been saving as a .pdf in order to print these banners, but just wondering if I can do it directly from Illustrator.
Can you print crop marks too?
Please help.
Thank you very much.
Jules

Save As to PDF. Print from Acrobat where you will have the option to Fit to Page etc to your printer.

Cannot see the printer options or preferences page

I've reinstalled adober reader X, with no luck.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Cheers

Hi, unfortunately, I have the same problem: After installing Adobe Reader 10.1 on my MacBook 3,1 OS 10.6.8, printing pdf-files is impossible as the printer options / preference page is not shown anymore. I have reinstalled AR 10.1, I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, I have reinstalled AR 10.1 without success. Only once, there was a hint by AR: "internal problem, lack of ressource file". Other files (preview, MS word, etc.) print without problems. I would be glad to receive a hint how to solve this problem.

I can print from my ipad but what prompt do I use if there's no 'print' option on page?

I'm set up and can print from my ipad but what key do I use if there's no 'print' option on a web page?

Use the little icon that looks like a curved arrow in a box. That should bring up a Print menu, among other things.

"Fit to page" no longer updating after installing new printers

Hi,
We recently had new printers installed. After that, the "Fit to page"-function (in the Print-dialogue) is no longer auto-updating. The content is moved slightly when printed - it almost looks like Illustrator doesn't register the correct unprintable areas.
If I select "Do not scale" followed by "Fit to page", the content automatically adjusts as it should.
It's a bit hard to explain, so I've uploaded a couple of pictures to illustrate it (I blocked out some info):
How it looks when printed (even if Fit to page is selected in print settings):
http://i.imgur.com/eEaAWSK.jpg
How it should look when printed (and does, if I force AI to update by choosing Do not scale followed by Fit to page):
http://i.imgur.com/new7X0J.jpg
As you can see, the content clearly moves quite a bit.
Has anyone ever seen this before?
BR,
Thomas

HTML DB Printer options

Thanks Vikas,
I work with version 1.6. and I have a navigation bar entry name "Print Version". When I click on this entry because I put on Printer Friendly, a new window appears in front in a printer way. But, If a write on "OnClick Javascript'' window.print() , I want the printer options on this new page which I newly get the focus but the printer options is related to my first window; I do not want this.
Another question, Is it possible to combine many window.xxxxxx on "OnClick Javascript" ?
Thank you. Bye.

Sorry, but I really dont understand what you are trying to say.
window.print() invokes your browser's builtin File/Print function, typically that would popup a dialog box with Printer options.
For me (Firefox, Windows 2003), it brings up (see screenshot)
http://tinypic.com/eq7ebo.jpg
This has nothing to do with HTML DB.
The [Print] navigation bar in HTML DB would just redisplay the same page but pass in YES for the printer friendly mode (9th argument in f?p= syntax). This displays the target page using the "Printer Friendly" page template (if present in the theme you are using)
Another question, Is it possible to combine many window.xxxxxx on "OnClick Javascript" Instead of calling a bunch of Javascript functions inline, you can always put them in a function of your own and call that function. Is that what you mean by "combine"?
