Cropping pages and then printing 2 up per page.

I have a PDF from Google books of a scanned in book with lots of white space in margins. The pages are small and portrait so I wish to print 2 per page on landscape A4. When I use the cropping tool I can reduce the white space to something like the original margins of the book. Then I print 2-up on Landscape to a .ps/pdf–x/pdf file and my cropping is ignored and I get two postage stamp sized (exaggeration for effect) pages in a sea of white space.
How can I bake the cropping to a new file or at least get it to print with my chosen cropping and then enlarged to fill A4 landscape.

And printed two-up to A4 landscape page as .ps then distilled:

Also I can't use the insert image button in this forum thread editor it is greyed out but Video is good?!
And i can't write my own <a href="apple.com">Better forum tools</a> links here, despite having such a good example in apples discussion forums and years to think about getting it right. Adobe is twin brothers I think – one good one evil

Thanks Michael,
I'm pretty sure I could do this in InDesign if I ran the script to load the PDF pages into an InDesign doc and then a script to align/crop each page. Wanted to make sure I am not missing something in Acrobat first — in fact, if what I am finding is all Acrobat can do in terms of realising its crops on multipage printing, it amounts to a serious bug (in my book). I've used imposition software in Print shops and it is very effective I know but the price is just too high for a small return. Don't want to learn demo software I can't use after a couple of uses either. Thanks for the suggestion though it's definitely a solution.

    Is there a way to sort a PDF file with multiple pages by a specific field within the PDF? All pages have the same invoice format and i would like to sort by a field within and then print the documents. (Vendor, PO#, Date, ect.)

    When you say field, do you mean specifically a form field, such as a text field? Or is the information regular text on the page?

  • Trying to crop and then print to a 5x7 and it be clear

    I am very new to photo editing.  So please have patience with me.  I have Photoshop Elements 8.0 and am trying to crop a picture of my brother and myself and then print a few 5x7 of it.  It is very pixeled when it prints.  Are there certain things that I should be looking for?  Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks for any help.
    Jessica

    Are you using the organizer or editor for printing?Im case you are using organizer you can change the ppi before printing.The ppi can be changed from More Options->Print->Size. However the pixel dimension of the cropped image is very important.If it is low then the printed image will be pixelated.

  • Crop first and then crop again to specific ratio

    Hello,
    Is there a way to crop first (as in a loose crop--like using the marque in Photoshop), and then to crop again to a specific ratio in lightroom?
    Seems like when I try to crop loosely and then crop to a specific ratio, that the image reverts back to the full image that I started out with.
    Thanks,
    Norm
    P.S. I am using lightrom 3.

    Not really sure what you mean by cropping is a one shot deal.
    I mean exactly that. AFAIK, since the dawn of time, Lr has presented you with a crop view that shows the previous committed crop which you can change.
    Because it is not a pixel editor, it does not actually change the file; it is just a hint to the export to create the cropped view it shows in the previews.
    So, when you "re-crop" all you are doing is revisiting the existing crop, if it exists.
    Remember that printing from Lr is a different beast than printing from Ps. You don't have to worry so much about resolution vs. aspect ratio.  Just crop to the size you like and let the print module do the rest.  Or export to Ps and do your regular print stuff there, including destructively cropping a copy of your raw image.

  • My Cox Cable/Telephone splits to a telephone modem and a broadband modem.  The BB connects via ethernet to a Cisco Linksys E2500 wi-fi (whatever).  Can I plug my usb printer into the E2500, configure, and then print from my iPad?

    I have just purchased an iPad 2.  I have wi-fi for roku and have connected the iPad to it.  I want to print to my usb printer.  My connection is:  Cox Cable spit to telephone and broadband.  The broad band feed goes to a Cox modem and feeds the wi-fi.  The Cisco Linksys E2500, wi-fi's the Roku and iPad.  Can I USB from the wi-fi to the printer, configure (however), and then print from my iPad?
    If not, how?
    All comments will be appreciated.

    the ipad cannot airprint to a non airprint printer.... i think that the only solution is to install helper software on a computer that has an attached printer and share it through the computer only...computer would have to be always left on

  • How do I complete online .pdf form and then print?

    Sometimes, I can enter data on an online .pdf form and sometimes, I cannot.  I need to complete forms and then print them rather than print a blank form to complete by handwriting.  Window XP and Vista on my computers.  I have installed some Adobe and Acrobat programs but do not know which ones would help me with my problem.  thank you

    Adobe is the company. I assume you are talking about Reader and Acrobat. It would be nice to know which ones, but the answer is likely the same. With Reader, you can only complete the form electronically in Reader if the creator added from fields for your to fill in. If not you have one option and that is to print. You could still play with filling it out electronically, but you would have to print the form, put it back in the printer, and use your word processor to place the information on the form. This is a bit time consuming and requires some measuring and possibly some trial and error, but it does work - I used to fill forms out like this all the time, but generally forms I filled out once a month and so it was worth the time.
    With Acrobat, you can use the Typewriter tool, Use the Text Touchup Tool (not real convenient) with the ctrl key used when you place the cursor, or create your own fields. Depending on your version of Acrobat, you may not be able to create form fields (like AA7 Std and before I think, Pro includes the form tools). With forms, you may also have the choice of the form files under TOOLS>Advanced Editing (typically called AcroForms) or the FORM menu that typically takes you to Designer.
    Those are your choices, though there are variations with version (next time try to tell us the program version you are using and if it is Reader or Acrobat - for Reader you may want to go to the Reader forum).

    How can I print on a Document that I have Scanned and is on my computer and then print it.

    And what exactly? How did you scan? What "document"? What system? You need to be a lot more specific, especially since it is absolutely not clear what Adobe software has to do with it.

    Acrobat on OSX does not use printer preset. Every single time I have to print I have to click printer and then print to load the preset and then click print again from the main dialog. I am printing to a Xerox that has the copier code in the preset so if I don't do this it will not print. This has been broken for in every version I have tried. This extra clicks are taking years off my life. Did I remember to do the extra clicks? I don't know, I guess I will run down the hall and check. Please fix this.

    What operating system are you running? I assume they had you install the latest BIOS. True? If it were mine, I would suggest forcing it to use integrated graphics (in the BIOS) to rule out a problem with the NVidia driver.

  • Using 1080i50 in a 720p30 sequence... Can I do this and then print PAL?

    Hi,
    I just shot a music video, and my camera shoots a 1080i50. My editing suite is FCE 3.5.1, which is pretty good, apart from its limited sequence settings.
    Since the maximum output I will need for the video is 720p, I wanted to try editing it directly at 720p, however the only sequence preset for that resolution is a 720p30. What happens if i put an i50 in a p30 sequence, and can I then print this back to tape in a PAL framerate? I imagine that I could export (Using Quicktime) at a 720p25 to file, but I am a little worried that I will be unable to print the movie back to tape in a format that PAL television will be able to broadcast, since it is FCE that prints to video.
    Thanks for your help,
    t

    Hi Tom,
    no, I don't have a deck, and will be using the camera to print back to tape. Therefore I think you have answered my question. The only reason why I wanted to try the edit in 720 was to see if it would be a faster render for editing, and also allowing me a tiny about of leeway for basic motion in the edit.
    But no worries, I shall work as per normal.
    Thanks,
    t

  • Why do files (UPS labels) from the Internet not print properly (they used to), unless they're saved as PDFs and then printed?

    Files from the Internet (for example a UPS label) no longer print properly (too light, faded out), whereas they used to print just fine directly from the Internet source. The only way they print properly now is to save the file as a PDF and print from that. So I'm think it's not the Canon printer. This hasn't happened before, and I'd like to know what I can do about it, what's going on. This is via Firefox and Safari on my Mac laptop, OS 10.6.8.
    Thanks, David Smoak

    2) Thanks for the tip. It isn't what I had in mind, but writing scripts to do the work (via tells to "System Events") and then invoking those scripts with osascript is indeed a reasonable solution.
    3) You may not have understood me. The only peculiarity is that I sometimes see "Enable Folder Actions" in the menu even when Folder Actions are, in fact, globally enabled, so that I should instead be seeing "Disable Folder Actions" along with "Remove a Folder Action" and so forth. As you say, I always see "Configure Folder Actions...". Surely this is just a minor bug.
    As far as the main issue, I don't believe I have any code that activates the Finder. My original message has a sample of one of my scripts, and you can see that it doesn't mention the Finder at all. As I said, I get the same behavior with the sample Folder Action scripts in /Library. As one more test, I tried a absolutely empty script---the Script Editor window contains not a single glyph when I save it. If I attach this completely empty script as a Folder Action to a folder, any addition or deletion from that folder activates the Finder, though nothing else happens. Still looking for help on this one!

  • When i ask my macbook air to print it tells me it is looking for my printer it takes several minutes before it finds it and then prints, why is that as my wife is connected to the same printer in the same way (bluetooth) and hers prints straight away

    As per my question, when i ask it to print it tells me it is looking for my printer this takes several minutes before it prints.  my wife is in the same room using an imac also using a bluetooth connection to the same printer and hers prints immediately.  why is this.

    Perhaps you could try this to resolve your issue:
    *How to Reset the Printing System*
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax
    2. Move your mouse over the Printers list
    3. Hold down the Control button and click the mouse (or right click if supported).
    4. Click "Reset printing system ..."
    5. Restart your Mac
    This will remove your print queues but not your printer drivers. So you will only need to add your print queues again.

  • Load String into CharArray and then Print String in Reverse?

    Hey, what would the code be to:
    1. Ask user for name. (scanner)
    2. Load his name into a CharArray.
    3. Then print out his name backwards.
    thanks a lot!

    dforevergold has a head on his neck. So, I don't understand people saying about assignments etc... If he needs help and we can help then we must help.
    Here's the code (but don't forget about comments!):
    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class Just {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              // a scanner to get user's input
              Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
              // Scanner.nextLine() returns the entered line
              String name = scan.nextLine();
              // toCharArray() converts a 'String' object to a 'char[]' object
              char[] ch = name.toCharArray();
              // next FOR-loop goes from the last element in the array to the first one and prints them onscreen
              for (int i = ch.length - 1; i >= 0; --i) System.out.print(ch);
    I hope it helps you!
