Custom landscape page size - - content squashed portrait

I'm trying to create a PDF for an MS PowerPoint file with a very large page size, 46" x 36" (landscape). I'm using Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP.
In keeping with guidelines at www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad46c/0 I selected the printer properties and created a new form with the desired values, entering the dimensions as if it were portrait, 46" height and 36" width. I also created a custom Adobe page size using the same dimensions. Under "Layout" I chose "landscape."
The output file has the correct dimensions with a landscape orientation. However, the content is squashed onto the left side of the page with a very wide left margin, as if Acrobat were trying to fit the content into portrait-oriented dimensions. Words are overwritten on top of one another and it looks horrible.
Just to check, I went back into the form preferences and the page size and individually changed first one and then the other to have the correct landscape height and width. Neither approach worked.
Any thoughts?

Oops, sorry, looks like I'm in the wrong forum.

Custom PDF Page Size Disappears

When I add custom PDF page sizes in the "Printing Preferences" dialog box, they disappear when I restart my computer and I have to create them all over again.

Custom page sizes are stored in the Windows Registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms. Is this a local install of Acrobat?

Where are custom PDF page sizes stored?

I built a new computer due to a failing hard drive and I want to copy over several custom page sizes that I created. It took a while to get these to mesh properly with Autocad and I don't want to have to make them all over again if possible. Are these stored somewhere in one master file or as individual files that I can simply copy over to the new computer? Thanks.

Hi Rhinny2012,
The custom PDF page sizes are stored in the Windows Registry at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Forms"

Customizing PDF page size

I have a 5 x 3 (index card) template in Word 2007 - in Portrait
I want to create a PDF of this document that I will use on an iPod Touch
When I Print Preview in Word, I get the 5 x 3 size preview. Looks perfect!
I selected Adobe PDF in the Printer Dialog box - clicked Properties - Adobe PDF Settings tab - and Added an Adobe PDF Page Size of 5 x 3 named "Index Card" - then selected it in the Adobe PDF Page Size drop-down.
When I print to PDF, I get my card printed on 8.5 X 11 in landscape - with the text a small portion of the page - centered and right justified.
I want to see a 5" x 3" pdf page size with my text filling the page.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Acrobat 7.0 Standard.

Thank you, GKaiseril. Your suggestions helped me resolve this.
For the record, here's the steps:
In MS Word, File > Print > Click Properties button > Click Adobe PDF Settings > Click ADD and create a custom defined "Index Card" size (Width = 3, Height = 5) then click Add/Modify to close the Add Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Verify that the Adobe PDF Page Size combobox shows "Index Card"
In the MS Word Print Dialog Box, select Adobe PDF as the Printer, and in the lower RH Corner, in the Scale To Paper Size combobox select "Index Card".
I found that I have to set the Scale To Paper Size combobox each time I print, or it defaults back to "Letter".
Hope this helps!

Custom PDF page size errors

When printing to PDF to a custom size of 36x85 or 85x36 the adobe PDF writer doesnt do anything. THis happens from any program I try. If I Select a size of 82x36 the PDF creator with create the file. I can even print 92 x 92 with no issues, just not anything that is 36 x anything greater then 82 inches. This is being done in Windows 7 64 and I cant duplicate this issue 100% of the time in versions 9 and X standard on multiple machines.
The interesting thing is that if i try to print a PDF from within Acrobat 9 or X, it will print 32 x 82 fine, but when printing 85x36 or anything 36 x 82 or greater, it gives me the following errors:
"The document could not be printed"
"There were no pages selected to print"
So my question is, why cant i print to this size? Is there a ratio limitaiton to printing custom page sizes using the Adobe PDF printer?
Any assistance anyone can give me with thsi would be very much appreciated.
--Update--
If I try this same size on a windows XP 32bit machine with Acrobat X Standard it works fine. Not sure what the issue is with Windows 7 64 and Acrobat 9/X in regards to custom page sizes.

Not sure if you ever found a cause to this but I wanted to post my solution here because I've seen may people posting about the same issue and the solution/workaround that you came up with is the exact configuration that causes the error for me.
After looking through several forums, nothing worked. I'm running XP 32-bit with both Acrobat X Pro AcroReader X trying to plot to an HP DesignJet 800ps. I had never had any problems printing with Acrobat X until our IT dept. upgraded the print server from Win2003 server to 2008R2. I don't believe there were any new drivers installed for the plotter as it's an older model but the hardware/OS upgrade changed how we installed drivers. The technical details are beyond me.
So suddenly, for whatever reason, I'm now getting this no pages selected error. After unsuccessfuly trying several solutions that others reported to work for them I was determined to figure out why it wouldn't work for me.
What I found is probably just another in the handful of workarounds but I'm posting it here just in case it also works for you. In the print dialogue, click the Advanced (print setup) button. In the Output tab(?)/window(?)/area there is a check box default checked on for Use Maximum Available JPEG2000 Image Resolution. I uncheck this box. Back in the main print dialogue at the bottom right there is a Page Setup... button. In there I changed the page orientation to Landscape to match the orientation of my document. I had already specified this in the printer properties window, and in the main print dialogue it was set to Auto Portrait/Landscape (which oddly if I select just landscape it crowds the job to the top left of the page).
Like I said, these were the only two things I changed and it worked so if you're still reading this hopefully it will solve your problem too.

Custom edit page for content type

Hello,
I have following problem:
when i try to open my custom Edit Form for content type I have next error
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.Pages.EditVideoSet.AddListFormWebPart() at Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.Pages.EditVideoSet.OnInit(EventArgs
e) at System.Web.UI.Control.InitRecursive(Control namingContainer) at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
44f6799c-6c5b-f0ab-e8ef-4d53a0f0b5eb
I think problem is in custom page
that almost the same as "EditVideoSet.aspx" but have code behind
<%@ Page Language="C#" DynamicMasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master" Inherits="Intergation.Layouts.Intergation.ApplicationPage2Edit" CodeBehind="ApplicationPage2Edit.aspx.cs" %>
public partial class ApplicationPage2Edit : EditVideoSet
My task - create copy of the already existing edit page, but with code behind possibility.
What I did wrong?

Hi
Thanks.
I got rid of my earlier error as I was using the conatinerRenderer tag in the wrong way. It should have been
<containerRenderer class="com.tsynergy.container.SynergyLatestIDDBDrugsContainer"/>
Now I get to display the my edit content; But I still haven't been able to get rid of the top default portal banner that appears on my edit page. It has the default logo gif and the link to the home page.
I can now put my own form and <input> types, Just need to get rid of the default banner now.

Landscape pages in Word revert to portrait in PDF when converted with Acrobat 9.

My work group is using the PDF-T-Maker plugin to convert Word docs to PDF through Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Lately, all the landscape pages have reverted to portrait in the conversion, but only for me. Everyone else in my group is getting correct layout when they run the same process on the same docs. Today, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, then installed the updates (I'm on v. 9.3.1), but I've still got the same issue. I've checked the settings in Acrobat, Distiller, the PDF printer, and T-Maker, and I think they're correct. Shots of the Distiller and T-Maker settings are below. Any ideas about what's going on?

Looks like you have A4 pages. I would copy the PDF and then rotate the landscape pages (or portrait) individually (use the tools, not the view rotation) and then do the save to DOC or DOCX. That might do what you want. I would have expected it to notice the orientation, but I guess not. You did not mention the version of Acrobat. If you have not done the updates, you may want to do those first. Your issue may have been address with the updates.

Custom SharePoint Master Page with Content Editor Web Part.

Hi All,
I have created a custom SharePoint Master Page to apply within my SharePoint Site and it was a success.
When I want to add the content I have to use the script editor web part and add HTML snippets. Then the styles will reflect correctly. But when I use content editor web part some of the styles do not reflect. Lets assume that if I want to add a H2 with the
custom color, the color do not show in the ribbon. And how SharePoint know that this is an <h2> and reflect the other styles like padding, margin and so on.
Please can someone help me to solve this.
Thanks and regards,
Chiranthaka

Hi,
From your description, my understanding is that you want to add CSS code in your customized Master Page with content editor web part.
I tested your issue in SharePoint Designer, and I added CSS code successfully.
I accomplish your requirement with steps below:
Add a content editor web part in a list and add some CSS code in the web part.
Open SharePoint Designer, enter the master page.
Insert a content editor web part under INSERT tab in the Ribbon.
Open the list that have edited in step1 in the SharePoint Designer.
Copy code from the list to the Master Page as the screenshot below.
The screenshot below is my result:
In addition, why do not you add CSS code just with <style> tag in your page? Just add CSS code as below(in this method, you do not need any web part.):
<style>
h2{
background-color:green;
</style>

Vincent Han

FrameMaker 10 Save as PDF and landscape pages

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows XP Professional SP3 32 bit system - When I use the Save as PDF function on a book containing both portrait and landscape pages, the landscape pages are clipped to portrait mode. If I print to Adobe PDF, the page orientation is correct in the PDF, however, no bookmarks are generated. If I check the Convert CMYK colorsto RGB setting in the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog box, then the page orientation in the PDF is correct, and the bookmarks are generated as they were in FrameMaker 8.
Is there a method to this madness?

I have Acrobat 8 Pro. The explanation of the RGB mode with XP makes sense. I did not know that. Makes me wonder how Frame 8 was producing all the nice PDFs we have used for the last couple of years.
I tried that setting because I saw others were having issues with that and wondered if there was a relationship between the two. Just a guess.
Printing to a file and distilling it does not produce a PDF at all.
Thanks for your help.

What is distiller max page size

Hello,
I'm running into some problems with Acrobat Distiller Pro (version 10.1.7) When I create a postscript file of 195" x 88" and placed it in distiller, it results in 8.5" x 11 and images are cropped.
FYI - postscript is generated from illustrator CS6.
Does anyone has solution for this problem?
Thanks,
sntm

I customized the page size to mirror the illustrator file but larger to show the slug area and trim marks.
The reason I chose distiller to create pdf over illustrator is that the page size is set up exactly to its artboard. The slug and measurement are outside the artboard and so when I create pdf, it only captures live area within the artboard. I would like to include the slug, trim marks, measurement, and everything outside of the artboard as well. FYI: this is a template that I'm working from so the layout has already been pre-set as such.
So my solution was to adjust the artboard bigger to capture everything each time I would create a pdf but if there are multiple of these, can be become tedious.
Thanks,
sntm

In an upright and landscape folio Can i have multiple (custom) page sizes?

In an upright and landscape folio Can i have multiple (custom) page sizes?
i.e if 99% of pages are 768x1024 each with a landscape version when you rotate, can the folio also contain bespoke long pages i.e 768 x 2048.....??
It appears not...

*FACE PALM* YES! that works, of course it does, simple when you know how ;-) ...... Thank you Alastair i was missing the obvious answer

Printing Document w/ both portrait and landscape pages

After some searching, I was able to create PDF forms with LiveCycle that had a mix of portrait and landscape content.
However, when I go to print the document from Acrobat Professional 8.0, it prints the landscape pages in portrait mode, thus cutting off the right side of the page.
When printing on computers with only Acrobat Reader, the pages all print properly. Is there a way to fix this?

If you just want a page the same size as the rest of the report but with the text printed sideways, you can do that in Pages.
If you want a fold out page (2 sheets wide) then you will have to make a second document for the wider sheet and, after skipping a page in the original, manually insert it after printing.
Alternatively the material can be scaled down to fit.
Hopefully in Pages '10 we will get spreads.
…as well as real color management, crop marks, spot color, slugs, direct selection tool, ability to select objects under other objects, a usable drawing tool, object library, user created shapes, convert text to outline…

Add a landscape page in the middle of portrait document?

I need to have one page with landscape orientation in the middle of a document that's otherwise got portrait orientation. I tried to add a disconnected page, and create a new master page, but I can't seem to get it to change the paper size for just that master page. I went to Format>Page Layout>Page Size and set the new size, but I got an error message that says "The new page size is too small for some custome master page column layouts.." It seems to want to change the layout of all of the pages. What's the correct way to add this page?
Thanks

The text frame has to be oriented in a horizontal manner for text entry.
If your table is wide, then create a rotated landscape master page. There's a tutorial on the Scriptorium Wiki for this at:
http://wiki.scriptorium.com/tiki-index.php?page=Adding+the+LandscapeRight+master+page
It's also described in the FM User Guide (or online help) in the section "Creating and editing custom master pages" as "Creating a rotated master page", the location in the Guide will vary depending upon your specific FM version.

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 )
