Creating a custom page size in Access 2014

In an previous version of Access 2003 I created a report with a custom page size of 5"x4". Now I am using Access 2013 and I no longer can run that report because of the custom page size. How do I add the custom page size to the
new version of Access?

Hi,
Your required could be done via VBA coding. We cannot custom page size directly in Access 2013.
Please see the sample code with following links:

Creating a custom page size not working

Hi,
I have Pages 3.0.2 and I wanted to create an PDF for an ad that our playgroup wants to submit in a local paper. The ad needs to be 10cm x 6.2cm so I went to the Inspector dialog and the Document tab and then selected Page Setup. In the new dialog I selected Manage Custom Sizes under the Paper Size drop down and then created a new size by clicking on the + icon. This allowed me to specify a Page size of 10cm width and 6.2cm height. I selected user defined printer margins and entered 0.25 for all margins. I set a name for the page size as 100by62Ad.
All good so far, but now when I select this new custom size in the Page Size drop down I can see the page size and underneath the drop down it says 10 by 6.2cm and click on OK the Document Inspector flashes then shows the A4 sizes again.
Nothing I do seems to allow me to select the new custom size. I can select the other page sizes such as DL fine and see the new page size in the window, but my new custom size refuses to display. I have tried closing down Pages and coming back in but get the same thing. I then tried downloading another program, in this case one called "Stone Create", and selected the custom page size in that program and it worked fine. I got a small 10cm x 6.2cm document to work with.
This seems to be a bit of a bug. Has anyone else managed to work with custom page sizes?
Thanks for any assistance.
Graham

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
Cheers,

Can no longer create custom page size for printing to PDF?

When printing from FrameMaker to PDF in Windows, I used to be able to create a custom page size by clicking on the Add button that appeared to the right of the Adobe PDF Page Size window, in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog box. With Frame 9, that button no longer appears; in fact, the whole dialog box is cut off just inside the edge of the entry windows. Do I need to set something? Thanks for any help you can offer. - Cindy Shaler

Cindy,
I am not sure to what dialog boxes you are referring.
In the PDF Setup dialog box (in FrameMaker's Print dialog or Save as PDF dialog), the Settings tab displays two fields to change the width and height of the paper. I tried entering odd values, and the resulting PDF had the entered size. I see no Add button nor is the dialog box cut off.
Maybe I am not looking at the correct boxes.

Page size printing problems with custom page size I created

I have created a custom page size (very small) for printing an advertise I had to print, and now after that operation all the pages I ask to print to any printer are automatically printed in that setup, and sometimes even if I change to A4 manually, the page changes but the borders of the page still remain the old one (result i can not print). How can I cancel the custom page size I created, so that my printers restart to print automatically in A4?
thank you very much

Z3200 won't print to custom page size

Hello,
I've created a banner that is 23"w x 82"h (in CorelDraw Suite 4). The page setup of the Corel file is 23" w x 82"h. I've been trying to print it on the z3200 designjet, but have had no luck. I created several custom page sizes (23" x 82", 24" x 85", 24" x 82") using both the "Printer Properties" dialogue within CorelDraw as well as adding a "Form" in the "Print Server Properties", none of them work. I've set the correct paper (24" wide HP Bright White Bond, feeding from the roller) on the actual printer itself, and in the Printer Properties.
I've played around with all of the different settings that I can and sometimes see the following error message:
[1/1]Paper size selected (width:23.00 inches, height: 82.00 inches) is larger than loaded paper (width: 24 inches). Please verify your printer setup.
When the page prints, it is resizing the content to be 8.5" wide.
I don't know what I'm missing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Karen )

I'm having the same problem here in China as well; and I've talked to the tech support in my region and no help. Called the province HP tech rep and he has no clue at all.
Does any Tech/Eng here could help us? Otherwise there's no reason for me to use you guys machine anymore...

How do I make a custom page size in Acrobat X pro?

I downloaded a gigantic trial version of Acrobat X pro to create a full PDF book cover. I was
unable to figure out how to make the program do anything at all. The help file and forums did
not give me the information I needed. Eventually I was able to use 4 other programs in
combination to create a .doc version of the cover but now I need to turn it into a PDF.
Can somebody please tell me how to, or how to find out how to, create a custom page size in
Acrobat X Pro and import a Word document into that page size.
Alternatively perhaps someone could tell me where I can download an earlier, hopefully more
usable, version of Acrobat.

As you have discovered, Acrobat is not a creation or editing tool. It is a program to create a final archive of a document from another application that is readable on most platforms. There have been several tools added to Acrobat to provide more functionality for forms and such, but it was never intended for the creation process.
Now that you have created your cover in WORD, an appropriate place to create it, you would simply print the page to the Adobe PDF printer. You should change the printer in WORD before the conversion and check the page to be sure that it is still what you wanted. This check is needed for versions prior to OFFICE 2007 that used printer metrics by default. Since OFFICE 2007, printer metrics have been turned off by default.
If the page does not come out correctly (like is 8.5X11 letter or an A-4 page), then enter the printer properties before printing and set a custom page size there to match your WORD document. I assume the WORD document has the desired size. The printer property change is like putting the correct paper in the printer before printing. Sometimes it seems to sense the application setting, and yet at other times is seems to need to be set.

Custom page size in Acrobat Pro.

I have a custom page size microsoft word doc on a Mac computer. When I create this 5.76 x 8.76 document into a PDF using Acrobat Pro, it makes an 8.5 x 11.5 document. I am sending this to a book printer, so I need the precise document size. How do I do this? Thank you.

Set custom page size for printing

I want to set a custom page size for printing some PDF three and four-page musical scores to roll paper on an Epson 1290 using Adobe Reader 9.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer properties in the print dialog has a media size option, and one of the choices is "custom", but having chosen "custom", the dialog does not allow me to add the actual page size to the lpr printer command. I can see that when I choose "custom", the lpr command is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom etc
but what I need for a three page output, for example, is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom.297x630mm etc
and I can't see how to add the actual custom paper size. If I Ok the media size choice dialog with it just set to PageSize=Custom, I can see from the output preview in the print dialog that the actual page size that has been chosen is letter. The online Adobe doc for Reader 9 printing (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/9.0/content.html#heading2.3) says "For documents that are larger than the standard page size, go to File > Page Setup. Create a custom page size before you print your document". The problem with that is that there is no "Page Setup" option on the File menu in the Unix version of Adobe Reader, only a "Print" option, which is where I already am.
If I open the PDFs in Evince, it allows me to add the custom page sizes I want, but as Evince doesn't have the option to print multiple pages per sheet I can't use it either...

Yes, it used to work, and the resize zoom bar used to work too (now its grayed out). I don't know if this is a "who's to blame for it" thing, but its not getting fixed and its pretty bad that no one seems to care enough even to respond. I found my own solution by opening it in Gimp. Just right click and select open with other ...Gimp and it will import into it. In the Gimp Print dialog, you have a scaling percentage in the "Page Setup" tab, and size settings in the "Image settings" plus loads of other stuff including multiple copies.

Epson 3800 Custom page sizes using yosemite

I upgraded to Mac OS yosemite a few weeks ago and PS CS5 crashes when I open the custom page size dialog. I've reinstall PS and made sure my driver was the latest version. Reinstalled the driver as well. This appears to be a PS problem because I can use this printer in other apps to create a custom page size. At least the problem the interaction between Mac OS 10.10, Photoshop and the driver. Any ideas? Is this a known problem?

"One more thing" as SJ liked to say... Yosemite has been tested with CS6, so why not download a trial and see if it plays well with your system. For CS5 owners, it's a $200 upgrade and probably affordable in your case.

Cannot create PDF w/ custom page size in FM 9

I just upgraded to the new Technical Communication Suite and cannot create a PDF from FrameMaker with a custom page size anymore. I need to create a PDF with a page size of 8.125" by 10.875", and have tried both Save As PDF and Print to the PDF driver. I followed all of the instructions on how to do so via the PDF printer driver's "Printing Preferences", Adobe PDF page size, etc. When that didn't work, I also tried Save As PDF with a custom page size ... still won't print to the custom size no matter how many places I specify it.
My only way to get my custom page size at this point is to create the PDF and then go in and modify Document > Crop Pages > Change Page Size to Custom, and specify my size. This is clearly less than desirable.
I am using FM version 9.0p 196. Any help/advice/suggestions welcome!

Cindy,
You should get the FM updates. There have been 3 patches released since the 9.0p196 version. Install them in order.
Before creating PDFs, make certain that your default printer is set to the AdobePDF printer instance. The SetPrint utility from Sundorne helps ensure that this is always the case for FM, see http://www.sundorne.com/FrameMaker/Freeware/setPrint.htm
In the Save As PDF dialogue, set the "Page Size" for the output on the Settings tab, as shown here:
Set your PDF joboptions for the appropriate press requirements.
Set your registration if required.
Make sure the "Convert CMYK Colors to RGB" is set (the PDF CMYK generation is still buggy).
Hit the "Set" button and you should get the correctly sized output.
When you were creating the ouptut via the printer route, if you had set the "Generate Acrobat Data" option, then FM sets the document so that it is always cropped to the FM page size, rather than the printer specified output sheet size, in the final PDF. Omit setting this option and it should work via this route as well.

Creating Custom Page Size less than one inch

I currently have Acrobat 6 on Windows XP, and it appears that I cannot set a custom page size less than one inch (Using Printer Preferences). Is there another method I can use to create a PDF from Publisher that has a page size less than one inch? If not, would updating to Acrobat 9 allow me to print to a custom page size of less than one inch?

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.

How can you create a customized page to change user password?

Hello to all,
I would like to create a customized page for a user to change their password. We are using Portal version 3.0.9 on Windows NT/2000. Currently there is a page in portal where a user can change their password.
I tried linking to that page by copying the shortcut url and adding it as an html portlet. The problem is that we want to direct the users to a
page of our choosing when they click on the "cancel" and "ok" buttons. I read in the forums that there is a selfreg.cmd script.
I also read that there is some code that has been available.
Has anyone implemented a customized user password change page? Do you know of any links that might have steps to follow or
more informatioin?
Thanks in advance,
Lindsay

Hi,

* After you update the table, go to your account information link, and click on the change password link.
* Then copy the url that you see in your address line
* And if you want a change password link at the top of your portal page, just go to EDIT on your page, then edit the banner defaults. Then in the links add the Lable and the URL. The URL would be the URL you copied from the previous step.
Hope this helps.
I've customized the login page too if you would like some sample code for that. Let me know.

Customizing page size and layouts

Three topics:
CUSTOM PAGE SIZE. There have been lots of requests for the ability to set custom sizes. One "easy" way would be to create page margins in the same way that padding allows cell margins. This way, a user can create (for example) a 10.5x9.5 "page" on a 12x12 platform. Particularly for those of us printing our own, it's one way to allow customization. All of the built-in layouts would then have to be scaled to fit within the page margins.
If this is done, the next logical extension would be to add a few common paper sizes to the Book Settings. This way, a user could create virtually any page size. For example 14W11H on a 13x19 sheet.
COPYING LAYOUTS. Would also be great to "copy-paste" layouts. After I pick a starting layout and then adjust cell padding, move captions, change fonts, and so forth, I'd like to replicate that elsewhere. In fact, I'm trying to create a left-page/right-page 11x11 on the 12x12 platform using cell padding, and it would be great to copy my customized "left-page" layout to all the left pages.
HIGH-QUALITY PRINT YOUR OWN. I've not yet tried printing via exported pdf on my local printer. Will it be as high resolution and as well color managed as if I printed directly from the Print module? I use icc profiles (some from vendors, some custom created) specific to each paper. I've now spent a lot of time narrowing choices of dual-sided paper to print my own books and I don't want to lose that capability.

Printing from the exported PDF. The quality I get is exactly just as good as printing any file directly.
I have two methods but they are for my Mac system, but I guess you can interpret them if you are on windows.
1 Set the desired parameters for the PDF in the book module (quality, profile to embed etc) and export to a folder
2 import into Photoshop and adjust the parameters if necessary
In Photoshop "save as" whatever file you wish which you can then print normally from PS or else import into LR and print with profiles from there
3 Printing from the PDF by opening in Adobe Reader, setting Page Setup and then "file-Print"
In Mac choose your paper preset, and under Copies and Pages drop down menu you can find print settings (color adjustment "off" etc.) and under color matching on Mac I choose Color Sync, and "Other Profiles"
which shows me all my custom paper profiles
Sorry for the long post
Another simple way on the Mac is to <right click> or <Control click> on the PDF file and choose "Open with Preview" It's important to choose the correct color profile in the Book Module before exporting to PDF so that the correct profile is used in Preview

Custom Page Size list...can it be re-ordered?

As a service provider I must get asked this question two or three times per week. I'm hoping someone has figured this out as it seems to be a pretty common complaint.
When you create a new custom page size the new size gets added to the list in a completely arbitrary manner. I'd hope that they would get added in order of creation date, or grouped based on dimmenstion, but it seems completely random. Is there a way to fix this, like a preferences file to hack?
Cheers,
Eric Bullock
Mac Business Solutions

The file that the pages sizes are kept in is:
(user)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompapers.plist
There may be some plist editors out there that will help (Pref Setter?), but that's the file you'll want to edit.
Hope this helps.
