Default page setup

Hi
I have a pdf which I need to print.
The preview window shows portrait A4.
It prints the first page portrait and then the rest as landscape with only 1/2 the page printing.
I have searched for default settings but have gotten no where.
My print dialog box default is landscape every time I open a PDF document even though the pages are portrait.
I am using Acobat XI Version 11.0.03
Can someone help?
Billy

Hi DesignMac
Welcome to Discussions.
From the menu File > Page Setup select Portrait and then in the Settings at the top, open it and select Save As Default.

How to set a default page setup in P6?

Hi,
Anyone know how to set a default page setup in P6?
Thanks,
Manuel

Hi Manuel,
For printing, the settings are stored within the layout. If you have one layout containing the settings you use, you can then use this layout as your template and do a 'Save As' every time you make your changes.
Hope that helps

How can I change the default page setup for printing messages in Apple Mac Version 4.6 (1085)

How can I change the default page setup for printing messages in Apple Mac Version 4.6 (1085)

As soon as I posted, Ifigured this one out on my own by going into user settings and changing the default there. Then I was able to delete the default @mac account. Thanks!

How do i change the default Page Setup settings?

I have a recurring "bug" - whenever i open a PDF - and usually when i create new files (in any program), the default setting is to have it print horizontally at 65%.
to be more concise, if i open a blank document in "Text Edit" as an example and go to Page Setup - its already set to 65%, rotated horizontal - - instead of vertical orientation at 100%.....
This is frustrating, as I often forget this - go to print a PDF - and it comes out very small and rotated 90 degrees.
This even happened when i recently got a new printer and had to install / setup a new driver.
I was able to get it to stop a long time ago by deleting all of my printers and starting over from scratch - but the problem quickly resurfaced.
(I think it may have something to do with receiving a PDF from a third party that had this setting to allow me to print a larger drawing onto letter sized paper - - but it seems to overtake all of my files as default.)
I hope i explained this clearly.....what i would like to do is know how to definitively change this "default" setting.....

Hi, no idea why AAPL said what was said, just too busy I think!?
Anyway, have you tried File>Page Setup..., then setting the Scale, Size, & Orientation, then same Window>Settiungs>Page Attributes>Save as Default... or even the Restore Original Defaults there?

Set default page setup settings in adobe acrobat so adobe reader prints to tray 2 on my printer by default?

I want to set a tray on my printer to be the default for just adobe reader without setting the default for windows. When i set page setup settings it reverts to the defaults when i open new PDFs and i want this seetin to save.
Thanks

I would suggest creating a second instance of the printer in Windows with tray 2 as the default tray - select that printer from Acrobat.
Control Panel > Add Printer > Create the Printer
Control Panel > Printers > Printer Properties

Default page setup not matching with document size.

working on Acrobat X 10.1.4, windows7 64bit, have created lots of boards in AI saved as PDF in Legal size but when opening to print thru Acrobat it always defaults to Letter, why cant Acrobat detect size? this is very annoying.
I did try using "choose paper source by PDF page size", same problem,
Can anyone please help me.
Thanks

Use Page Setup to set what you would like as defaults. Before clicking OK, choose Save As Default from the Settings popup. If you have more than one printer, I suggest selecting your default printer, as well.

Per application default page setup

Is there any way to provide an application-specific, NOT system-wide, paper-size default setup for printing?
For example, with Acrobat Reader I want a custom paper-size default setup of no margins so that the PDF prints at its original size/scale, but with Safari I want a custom paper-size default setup of 1" margins for printing web pages. However, when I specify the no-margin custom paper-size default setup for Acrobat, it becomes the system-wide default for all applications. This is NOT what I want at all.
Thanks for advice and help

You can make use of Presets. Create different presets for Acrobat Reader and another for Safari. That way, when you print, you only have to choose the preset you want to use instead of going through each print dialog pane for your print settings.

Default paper size in page setup

I have 3 different printers, each with specific paper sizes. My HP C3180 uses letter size only. My HP Officejet pro K850 uses tabloid (ledger) size only. My Toshiba e-studio 20s has a tray for letter and another for tabloid. My problem is that when I set the default paper size in page setup, it changes the paper size for all three printers! How do I set a different default paper size for each individual printer?

Thanks. I'm really disappointed that apple had to dumb-down Leopard. It really makes it difficult to use my macs in the office. I hate to say it, but score one for the PC on this one. I'm really frustrated, and this will definitely affect future purchases (Apple, did you hear that?)
Thank you.

Printers do not show up in Page Setup Format for menu

Hello. I just installed Acrobat 9 Professional. Upgrade from AP7. For some reason, when I go to select the printer in the Page Setup> Format For> dropdown menu, the printers do not show up. When I try to make a pre-set for this printer it never works and always defaults back to Language Level 3, which gives me a postscript error when I try to print. It prints fine at Language Level 2 but I can't get the setting to stay. Any clues???
thank you in advance,
Randy

Geraldine,
There are some oddities in Pages' methods.
What you did was save the changed template which had been altered on the page but you also needed to "capture" and save the Layout or Section over the existing one in the document using the same name to replace it.
I will walk you through making your own version of a template.
1 Open a new document using the template you wish to customise.
2 Don't change anything yet, but open every section from the Sections pull down menu so you have a sequence of pages each with a page of a different section design.
3 Make Master Objects selectable if they are not.  Change each Section to your liking.
4 +Menu > View > Page Thumbnails+
5 Select first Thumbnail in sidebar  +Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name : Type exactly the same name as the section > It will ask you if you want to replace the existing section > Replace+
6 Repeat this for each section until you have replaced them all.
7 +Menu > File > Save as Template… > Save with a New Name+
8 +Menu > File > New from Templates > My Templates > Choose your New Name template+
You now have a document customised to your design.

How do I set a default page size, orientation, and printer for a particular document in Pages?

I have a simple label document in Pages which I print to my label printer. The label is 1.49 x 3.47 inches and needs to print in Landscape, and it needs to print to my Dymo label printer. How do I set up the Page Setup or Print Setup so it defaults to this document size, orientation, and printer, every time, without me having to manually enter those settings every time?

Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me. Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

Programmatically Set Page Setup when printing with Internet Explorer?

Hello,
I'm using the LabVIEW 7.1 Print HTML Report VIs.
However, I'd like to change the default margings and footer and headres of Microsoft internet explorer which is used to do the actual printing.
I tried to find a way using the functionality of IWebBrowser2 (Wich is actaully used by the original VIs). It seems I have to use OLECMDID_GETPRINTTEMPLATE and pass a structure of the type ITemplatePrinter.
How can this be done - or is there a more simple way to do this?
Thanx,
Rainer

I'm looking for the same features. Ideally you would be able to send the page setup parameters to IE programatically but so far I've had no luck doing that or finding any reference on how it would be done. The closest thing I've seen is the print templates, but I am still unsure how those would be implemented exactly. I did find this reference for the template which seems fairly descriptive:

IE9 Page Setup Not Pulling from LaserJet P1102 Preferences

I am running IE9 on Windows 7 Home Premium with a LaserJet P1102 printer attached. Software and drivers are all current. I also have an Epson SX218 and Adobe Distiller 8 installed as printers.
When the Epson printer is set as the default, any changes I make to the printing preferences of that printer appear in the IE9 Page Setup, including the paper size -- especially the paper size (we use A4 paper here, not Letter), and orientation.
The same is true for Adobe 8 PDF and Adobe 8 PDF Converter -- preferences pass right through to IE9 Page Setup when either are set as the default.
When the HP LaserJet P1102 is set as the default, IE9 defaults to "Letter" and "Portait".
I have tried every possible configuration -- removing all printers, reinstalling just one, reinstalling all, reinstalling in a different order, changing the defaults, changing the preferences, warm booting, cold booting, different computers, and even additional printers from Canon and Epson -- and the results are always the same.
There is something about the HP LaserJet P1102 drivers -- and possibly other drivers -- that is not updating the registry correctly for IE9 to read it and it is therefore falling back to some sort of defaults (which I can't find, either).
It is very annoying that even when I have the HP LaserJet P1102 set as the default and the printing preferences set to A4, I still have to go into IE9 Page Setup and change the paper size to A4 in order to get the output to print correctly.
As a note, I believe the same problem may exist with Word 2007 -- it only prints correctly to A4 when the Epson printer is either the destination or the default. If the P1102 is the default and A4 is the preference AND I print to it from an A4 document to A4 paper, it is automatically shrunk down as if to be fitting on Letter-sized paper. If I set the Epson as the default with A4 paper as the preference and then select the P1102 as the destination with A4 paper, everything prints fine.
I would leave the Epson as the default with A4 as the preferred paper -- which would solve the problem, only we use the Epson for printing on Letter-size labels sheets and don't want to have to constantly change the print settings.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can correct this problem with the HP driver so that printing preferences from the P1102 will properly populate page setup in IE9 (and possibly Word 2007)?

Tom, when you are printing are you setting the printing preferences to match what you are wanting the printer to do? This would be done through Devices and Printers by right clicking on the printer and changing the defaults through Printing Preferences.
Beyond this, if you have already set this up beforehand, the browser you are using might not be correctly interpreting the information and may be sending band data to your machine. I would recommend "uninstalling" IE9 which will replace it with IE8 which has better compatibility with devices and programs.
Let me know! And happy New Year!

I changed my margins in page setup and now I cannot see page setup, a print preview, or print, what do I do?

I changed left and right margins to .5 thinking they were in inches and closed the page setup screen the next time I tried to print all I saw was a blank page or no page depending on zoom / shrink to fit ratio set. When I go to page setup all I get is a new window that is transparent in the text area and extends off the right side of the screen. I have to right click and select close to close it as I do not see the standard minimize, maximize, and close buttons. I do not want to reset defaults as I have changed many settings and do not remember all the settings I have changed. I do have an older copy of my firefox profile in a previous user profile of mine on this machine. Is there an easy way to reset the page setup settings?
What do I do?
PS. I am using Firefox 29 on a XP Pro machine slated for upgrade to windows 7 Pro.

Sorry I have been away from this system forr a while. when I turned it on this morning and launched Firefox it upgraded me to version 31.0.
Attached are three Png files, one is what happens if I try to print to do a print preview. If I try to print a web page it prints the same thing.
The other file is what comes up when I click on page setup. It opens a very wide window that is a copy of the web page that was there when page setup was clicked on.
The Third is what happens to the above page setup window when I drag the window to the left.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

Page Setup -- printing on tabloid pages

This simple problem in Acrobat X (10.1.0) is causing me to go back to Acrobat 9:
When I need to print to a tabloid-size page (my printer contains both sizes of paper), I cannot find "page setup" anywhere except in the print dialog box. When I click that button then the following message comes up:
"The Page Setup dialog box is provided by the operating system. To ensure that you can use the full print capabilities of Acrobat, please set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Do you want to continue?"
Oh yeah? Where IS the Application print dialog box? Isn't that what I was just in?
In Acrobat 9, if I wanted to change the printing paper size, I could go to File>Page Setup and change the size and IT WOULD REMAIN AT THAT SIZE UNTIL I CHANGED IT AGAIN.
But in Acrobat X, I must click this button EACH TIME I print to get a size other than the default [which is governed by my Mac's setting for Print/Fax (OS X, 10.5.8)].
Can someone tell me what I'm missing? It should be simple... (like it is in Acrobat 9).

After selecting Page Setup in the Print Dialog box (going through the warning), I then chose "Paper Size: Tabloid", and BEFORE I exited THAT page setup dialog box, I switched from "Settings: Page Attributes" to "Settings: Default". (Note that the "Settings: Default" attribute immediately bounced back to "Settings: Page Attributes".)
But it seems to work! The page size stays Tabloid (or A4 or whatever) until I change it again -- no matter whether I open a different document or quit Acrobat X and start it again.
It's not intuitive... and I was not having any success in finding an answer or a workaround.
So thank you so much for your response!
Hope that someone else having the same problem will find this thread.
