Cropping to paper size?

Can I pre-set the cropping tool so that the final image will fit correctly on a specific size of paper? For example, if I plan to print an image on 8x10 photo paper, I want the cropping tool to maintain the 8x10 ratio no matter how large or small I make the crop and regardless of whether the final image is horizontal or vertical.
Thanks.

>regardless of whether the final image is horizontal or vertical.

Problems with Cropping Large Paper Sizes

My System Info
2008 Server
Acrobat 9.4.0 Pro
I'm creating PDF's to be plotted and the largest size of my document is 240" x 60". When I try to crop the files (not all documents use full legnth) I get wierd results. Acrobat will crop only one side of the document, usually the right hand side, when I attempt to crop the file again it choses another side to crop but loses the right hand side.
Has anyone else come across this problem ? Is there a limitation on the cropping page size ? I have sucessfully cropped files with the paper size of 120 x 60.

I'm using a HP plotter postscript driver to create the postscripts then converting them to pdf via distiller. The PDF is displayed with a 240" paper size but the crop just won't crop it
I read somewhere that Acrobat 7's limitations paper size if 200 x 200, is it the same for Acrobat 9

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
Thank you!!!

A5 booklet "doesn't fit the current [A4] paper size". What's wrong?

Hi,
Sorry, I'm new to InDesign, and am having a bit of a freakout over a booklet I need to complete by this afternoon.
The page sizes are all A5. I try to print with A4 paper settings and the preview looks okay, but says underneath "the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size". Obviously A5, A4, it should fit perfectly, as it looks to in the preview. When I actually print it the pages are slightly jumbled - 3 with 24 (of 24 pages), 4 with 23 etc., with the centrefold 12-13 split (12-15, 13-14).
Any idea what's going on here? Is it something to do with crop areas? I can't work it out.
Thank you! An enormous amount of gratitude to anyone who can help me fix this.

OH HEY it's suddenly saying it's fine now, even though the only thing I've changed is to add a bit of text, nothing that should fundamentally affect the structure. Thanks InDesign!

Printing on paper sizes larger then A3.

Hi all,
I tried searching the foram for this specific problem but did not get success. I am working on sending custom 2D graphic elements to the printer/plotter using both the 'PrinterJob.getPrinterJob()' and the 'ServiceUI.printDialog()' methods. It works fine for printing/plotting if the page size is up to A3 but fails once we try printing to a bigger paper size. I also have tried using the java ServiceUI.printDialog but it provides a limited list of paper sizes rather then the standard set of paper sizes provided by different vendors. I have tested following code with the adobe pdf print driver and HPDeskJet 1050C plotter but each time it appears that my A2 size is cropped and shown as just part of my graphic element covered by A3 paper size. Kindly have a look at the code below and let me know if I am doing some thing wrong. I would be really thankful to you for your time and help in this regard.

About printer resolution and paper size

I need information about how to use the class PrinterResolution and his relation width paper size.
When i provide a cross a feed resolution to this class bigger values results in low resolutions: why? i dont now the DPI resolution meaning.
Please somme code example about this theme...Thanks a lot...

Amy,
1. I just took a picture today, and when I look in Image>resize>image size the dimensions are as follows:
W=2288px H=1712px W=31.778" H=23.778" @72px/in. resolution
When I change resolution to 325 px/in., W=7.04" H=5.268"
As the resolution is increased, the dimensions decrease. This is what is called an inverse relation.
Why did I change to 325px/in? Because for printing it is desirable to have a resolution of 240-300 px/in, or so. Also, note that this resolution gives me almost a perfect 5x7 size format, and one can crop off the excess readily. If one desires 4x6 size, one can crop to that dimension.
2. I enhance the pictures next, leaving sharpening for the last step
3. I save primarily in PSD and/or JPEG. Both PSD and TIFF allow one to retain layers, are lossless, and thus one avoids degradation with sequential editing. JPEG is is a compression format which conserves disk space (in comparison to PSD and TIFF), and is most likely required for your e-mail and your photo finisher. I save some of the JPEG files. I usually elect baseline optimized, and the JPEG allows me to elect quality 8, which is good for my purpose and results in a manageable file size.
4. Right after I download my picture files from the camera, I burn them to a CD (i.e. before I do anything else), and right after I finish the final edits I burn them to CD as well. This is my "film", if you will. If the computer fails or if I should accidentally delete a file from disk, I still have it available.
I am sure that others will post, but that is my current work flow.

Why is the PAPER SIZE pull down list different between my 2 identical MFPs?

Indesign 6 - Toshiba MFPs with PS3 Drivers.
I have 2 of the same models Toshiba MFPs - 5560c, and using the Universal PS3 Driver under Windows 7 PC.
Why is my Paper Size pull down list different between to the 2 MFPs? The main reason I ask; I don't leave it on "Defined by Driver" because that affects full bleed with crop mark printing, so I setup the driver first (say 12x18), then come back to the InDesign dialog and select a paper size.
For my scenario I need 12x18 - which shows in one list but not the other. Aside from that the lists are totally different - why is that? How can I manage that list?
Thanks,
Pat

Preview buggy when printing multiple pages per sheet using a custom paper size

I have a square book I've designed and I've printed the pages to a PDF. Now I'd like to re-print the pages so you can see facing pages together exactly like when, in preview, you select "View > Two Pages".
Each page is 12x12 so I'd like to re-print them to be 24x12 (24-wide)
I was previously able to do this in preview (prior to mountain lion) using the "layout > two pages per sheet" option with a custom paper size but when trying with Mountain Lion, the print-dialog preview doesn't match the output when saved as pdf; pages either get shrunk or cropped without my permission and it generally seems to be buggy. I've been playing around with it for over an hour and can't get two pages side-by-side to take up a full 24x12 custom virtual page when saved as PDF
I would expect the print preview to accurately display what will be printed (saved as PDF) and I am guessing that maybe the printer selected (HP all-in-one) is affecting the preview and save to pdf options?
Can someone tell me how to achieve a printed rendition of the "view > two pages" layout?

I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this

Photo Paper Size: Where is 4x6???

I am using PS Elements, and I am an infrequent user. I am simply trying to print a 2"x3" image on a 4x6 photo paper, but PS Elements doesn't list the most common photo paper size (for your average user...) on it's drop down menue, under 'Paper Size'. It's enough to drive you nuts...

I use PSEv.8
Print from the Editor
Crop your picture to 2x3"
Go to File>print. In the dialog:
#3 Paper size>4x6" and 4x6" borderless are listed
#4 Use individual print
#5 Print size is an option available to you. If you crop before sending it to the printer, you will have absolute control. Note the "crop to fit" box.

DISABLING COLOR MANAGEMENT & PAPER SIZE

After some struggling and considerable surfing the internet, I managed to get my HP Deskjet printer output producing the proper colors.
However I still have an ongoing problem with paper size and orientation.
I have Photoshop Elements 7 running under Windows XP.
Under the current set up, under "Page Setup" in the print dialog box, I can select 6x4 borderless and landscape orientation, but the printer will still print it in portrait orientation on 8.5 x 11" paper. I have seen many times where I have selected "Landscape" in Photoshop but the image in the preview windows shows Portrait. Or the preview is oriented portrait but the picture within the preview is a cropped landscape version of the image. Or the preview picture is landscape but the landscape-portrait button shows portrait. Obviously there are portrait images and portrait printings, but Photoshop seems to get them confused and wants to print a landscape image in a portrait orientation.
If I hit "Print" and then go to "Preferences" in the Windows printer dialog box, if I select "landscape borderless 6x4", it will print a 6x4 image on letter sized paper, ignoring the orientation and paper size I selected. And if I re-enter the Windows printer dialog box, will show "letter" again as the current paper size, although I had not selected that previously.
I have "Photoshop Elements manages colors" selected, but then a warning message appears asking if I have disabled color management in the printer preferences dialog. I cannot find any way to disable color management in Windows XP or in Photoshop. (If this has anything to do with my problem.)

PIxma Pro 100 - Lightroom Incorrect image sizing for select paper sizes

I am trying to print from Lightroom to the Pixma Pro 100 using the A3+ Paper size (13"x19") In Lightroom, the page and printer setups are all correct (verified by Adobe's Tech support) and in the Print Preview area, everything looks great and ready to print.
Yet when I actually print the image to A3+ paper (and the image nearly fills the entire paper area) the resulting image is serverly cropped on the paper. In fact is looks like it is cropping the image to 8.5x11, which obviously, only uses a portion of the 13x19 paper size. It seems that Lighroom or the Canon Printer drivers are not respecting the selected paper size and defaulting to 8.5x11.
Here is a link to an image of what the print out looks like:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mylwpsns0uvr4io/2013-05-20%2009.00.15.jpg
This does not happen when printing from Print Studio Pro, nor from Photoshop itself.
I've dealt with Adobe Tech support and Canon - both are point fingers at each other. Meanwhile I am unable to print anything on larger paper sizes.
The Pixma Pro is the only printer connected and I've re-installed drivers and checked for updates. Still the same. At this point, any comments on the situation would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing something like this as well.
I do almost all my printing in A3+ and I do it all directly from LIghtroom. No problem til sometime this summer (post firmware update). Now whenever I set it up for 13 x 19 (and LR shows that it is 13 X 19) the finished print is actually 7.5 x 11 on the 13 x 19 in paper.
Incredibly frustrating as I go through time, paper, ink, and tech support (at Canon and Adobe) trying to resolve this.
Last week a Canon technician walked me through a complete reinstall of the printer and then it worked again. This week it's back to the same mess, and neither a reinstallation of the printer today nor an update of my LR solfware resolved the problem.
I learned today that I am able to print the correct size using Print Studio Pro, but I have never used it in the past and I'm reluctant to switch from the functional LR to Canon workflow I had going (where I knew how my printing specs would come out)

Changing photo paper size

I have a printer which has a n adapter to hold photo paper to print 4x6 photos. Are there adapters that will hold different size photo paper and where can I purchase?

Hi there, unfortunately any image files printed via the ePrint service are automatically printed in 4 x 6" size. Using the smaller paper size you have will only result in sections of your images being cropped and lost from the printed output.
Sorry about that.

HELP! Trying to print on an envelope (logo/return address), but when change page/paper size, prints blank page

Before now, I have really only used Acrobat to convert and send uneditable documents (just to give you an idea that I am not used to trying to edit docs or print them out in paper sizes other than 8.5 x 11. However, I have a document (created by a graphic designer) that was designed to be viewed as a sample, not really to be printed and now want to print it directly on an envelope. I have created a custom paper size in the Print Setup menu and have also cropped the PDF page size to be similar (although not exact) to the envelope size. When I try to print it, my printer prints out a blank page.
Any thoughts?

You need to select the paper size in the printer setup that corresponds to the letter size that you are using. If you just crop to the approximately correct size you may find that the orientation of the page is wrong and various scaling options in the print dialog box can further confuse the issue.

Selected print size will not fit current paper size

I am new to iPhoto and I keep getting the following message when I try to print at home - "selected print size will not fit current paper size" - I don't understand this. I am printing to 4x6 photo paper. I have chose 4x6 under paper and I have chosen 4x6 under print. It seems to want to fit the photo horizontally instead of vertically - I can work around this by choosing to print 3x5 onto 4x6 paper, but then the border is quite large.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

Does your printer driver support 4x6 borderless printing?
You have to make sure your printer has a borderless driver ( the Epsons have two, a regular and one with Borderless-sheet feeder in the title and both must be installed and selectable under the Printer menu. If it's a Canon then you must be sure you select 4x6 borderless under the Paper size. Here's a step by step workflow you can try:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
crop the photo to 4 x 6 in iPhoto.
select the picture you want to print and type Command-P.
*click on the Advanced button in iPhoto's print pane.
*select your Printer and Presets
*select "Paper Handling" in the Copies & Pages menu.
*in the Destination Paper Size section select "Scale to fit paper size: and select the paper size in the menu.
*click on the Standard button.
in the iPhoto print pane select your printer, Presets and Paper size.
select Standard Prints under Style.
select print size in the Size menu and check the "One photo per page: checkbox.
click on the Print button
*These steps may be redundant but might correct those situations where the paper size selected in the iPhoto print pane does not seem to take.
What printer do you have?
