Everything prints small, about 25% of normal size.

Everything prints small, about 25% of normal size. It effects both of my printers. It effects WORD, Adobe Acrobat, and Excel, and anything that I print from the web.
The only document that is NOT effected is Adobe InDesign.
I've tested the usb cables, and restarted my computer. I have not downloaded any new programs or updates.
Anyone had this happen to them? Anyone have any ideas of what happened, and how to fix this problem?
Very frustrated! I have work to do!
Please help!
Thank you!
OH...my Apple Mail is also effected.

Hi.
This forum is for a specific product (Adobe Contribute) which doesn't appear to be your issue. It looks like you are having printing issue rather than issues with any particular product. I would suggest finding support for your printer or your Operating System.
Good luck.

Printing a PDF larger (twice normal size)

Hello all,
I have a PDF I wanna print out. When I print it it's 1 pg long.
I want to double its size & print it over 2 pages.
I have tried the following:
in PREVIEW.app--increasing Page Setup print size to 200%. This just centers the PDF and leaves off the top & bottom of the PDF.
in GraphicConverter--same thing. Same results. (If I convert to JPG it gets jaggy (due to anti-aliasing) and preints out looking like cr*p)
Any other ideas?
Thanks,

As usual, it's a problem no one else has. (Story of my life on Computer troubles-- makes me a great Beta Tester!)
Never figgered this out before updating to Leopard, which works.
Thanks

When I print my airline boarding pass in FF, (either printer or to a pdf) it is too small. When printed in IE, it is full size. Is there an add on or setting I can change to allow full size printing?

I fly Alaska Airlines. When I web check in from home and print my boarding pass I either print to Adobe and save the file for later printing or print directly to my printer. The PDF version is about 1/3 the normal size, the direct print is 1/2 the normal size.
This only happens with FF. When using IE, it prints normal size for both the PDF and direct printer version.

I recently tried sending myself an email through Thunderbird to another email account to see if that was the case, but the email came in with a font so tiny that it was unreadable. I had chosen a font type and size (arial 10) and just coming into my outlook inbox was virtually unreadable.
And referring to the person I work with, she doesn't have problems getting anyone else's emails, just ones I send from Thunderbird.

Only my email font size has changed....it's gone smaller while everything else including ads is normal size. How do I change it back to 12 pt type?

twice in the past few weeks the font size on my email has changed smaller. The first time it went from 12 pt type to maybe 10 pt type. Last night while I was chatting on Yahoo with our daughter, it went down to maybe 2 pt type. I couldn't find a way to change it back. This morning I opened up the computer to try to work on it again and the font size was maybe 1/2 pt type. The words look like little squiggles on the page. Both my email addresses on Yahoo have reacted the same but the ads to the right of the email on the mail page remain the same size. If I open up another window, and say go to foodtv.com, everything is normal size. I have opened up Safari and gone to my email and everything is normal szie so the problem is the Mozilla. I have also called ATT and gotten help and they couldn't help as it's definitely a Mozilla problem.

My print on the page is really small how do i put it back to normal size?

Firefox button > Print -> Page Setup - Scale = 100% or Shrink to Fit is usually best

I uploaded pictures to iphoto and they are too small. How do I make them normal size for printing?

The pictures I uploaded from my digital camera are stored in iPhoto and under Photo_data_roll... I am trying to print them, but the quality is very bad because the size of the photos was compressed (or something) when I uploaded them. How do I get the photos to their normal size?

This sounds like it is more likely a problem with your camera. Digital cameras have setting for resolution and amount of compression used. I would start by looking there. If resolution is set low or compression too high, the picture might look okay on a camera's two inch screen but like c**p in iPhoto.

File is huge when combined or changed to PDF, how do I get the file to a normal size to print?

Files are to large to print once they are PDF, how do I get them to a normal 8x11 size to print?

So why is it when I send these PDF files to clients they are to large for clients to print?
If I send a combined PDF file that is 3817KB, which a client has said is to large for them to print.
I send it to our office manager, she will print it, scan it back to me as a PDF, it will come
back as 375KB, the client can then print the file.
My question is, was/is there something I need to change in the process of scanning, combining files
to PDF that would create a smaller size file when done?
Sorry for all the confusion

Sorry, I'm lost.First I thought this was about page size. But you say it isn't. You say it's about file size. You've combined files of 494 + 441 = 935 KB, and you get 944 KB. This seems fine and you say it is fine. So what is the problem? Are you now on still a third meaning of huge, about size on screen?

Problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom 1.4 Windows Vista-64bit, R800

Hi All,
I am having problems printing smaller sizes in Lightroom v1.4, WIndows Vista-64 bit, on an Epson R800 (driver version 6.5cAs, the latest one) . When I try to set the printer settings in both the page set up and the printer setup, it displays as 5X7, but somehow when it actually goes to print, the print dialogue box reverts back to 8.5 X11. I can print 5X7 in CS3 with no problems on the same machine. The prints coming from light room look ok, they are just the wrong size for the page. Some how it appears that lightroom is not able to change the printing size defaults from 8.5X11. The prints in lightroom are fine as long as I use 8.5X11 or print in CS3. Any help to fix this would be great.

make sure your ventilation ducts are clean from dirt, Vista put lot more strain on every component of your laptop, so the temperature increase should be normal. Xp is lot less demanding on computer compoents, however it does sound like your heat ventilation fan and fins are clogged with dusts. So open up the laptop to clean away any dusts that maybe there.

My Yahoo email page suddenly became so small I cannot read it, and I cannot get it to go back to normal size. Why is this even possible and how do I fix it?

I higlighted a portion of an email I was forwarding so I could delete that part, and somehow during that process, the entire page reduced in size to the point that it's too small to read. I have no idea how I did it and I can't get it to return to normal size. Logging out and back in doesn't help, nor does shutting the computer down and restarting. My wife's email is normal size, and MY email is normal size when I use Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox.

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

How can I get Firefox to print at normal size (like IE). to a full A4 page,?

Up to about 3 updates ago, amy printing from Firefox worked fine. Since then an A4 pahe is squessed into the top LH corner (about 1/4 the size). So if I need to print anything from the browser (e.g. a map) I have to use IE. Looks like a bug in that update. As I assumed this would be fixed next time round I didn't bother reporting it; but it's still not sorted.

IPhoto some of my photos have gotten very small. I don't know how this happened and I can't get them back to normal size. Any ideas?

I have a large iPhoto library, personal. Some of my older photos have downsized to be very small. I am unable to get them back to normal size. I do not know how or when this happened and don't know if I did something to cause it. I have upgraded computers several times. Currently have a 2011 model 27" iMac with 10.7.4. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you explain what you mean by this? Dimension? File size?

Everything prints small, about 25% of normal size.
