Excel to PDF wrong paper size

Hi,
when I convert an Excel file with A4 format (8,27 x 11,69 inches), the PDF creates Letter format (8,50 x 11,00 inches). I have changed the format in Adobe preferences to A4.
This only happens in Excel not in Word.
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Office 2007
Thanks

Hi,
I had this same problem with my Acrobat 8 and yes, it's a bug in the Acrobat software.
After speaking on the phone to Adobe tech support, the issue came down to Acrobat ignoring user specified page/paper sizes in the PDF printer/PDFMaker/Acrobat Office plugin job options, and using the default "Adobe PDF Page Size" setting in the Adobe PDF printer preferences.
Check your default Adobe PDF printer settings (under Printers & Faxes --> Printing Preferences) and make sure the default page size is "A4" and NOT "Letter"
It's a bit of a hassle if you need to print/convert anything other than A4, as you'll have to change the default size each time.
Maybe Adobe will address this "bug" in a future update.
Hope this helps.

Adobe PDF missing paper sizes

We are on Acrobat 9 and have Adobe PDF printer listed in our printers and drivers. There are many paper sizes missing in Printing preferences / Adobe PDF Page Size.
I know that I can click Add and then include A0, A1, A2 & A3 but I would like an enterprise solution please. Ideally, I don't want to visit each of the 130 PCs to manually change this setting to include paper sizes.
Please can you let me know to solve this please.

You could have done this when you deployed initially but I don't see a way to do this after the fact.

Export to PDF and Paper size

Hi,
I am using Crystal reports 10 and am exporting the report to pdf. I have set PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperLegal in the asp.net code. The exported pdf looks good according to the paper size set but when I print the pdf it is printing in letter size. Please help. I want the pdf to print in the legal size.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi,
Thanks for the response. It still did not resolve the problem. I use vb.net and I used the following code:
Dim oPrinterSettings As System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings
                oPrinterSettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterSettings()
                'oPrinterSettings.PrinterName = ""
                Dim oPaperSize As System.Drawing.Printing.PaperSize
                For Each oPaperSize In oPrinterSettings.PaperSizes
                    If oPaperSize.PaperName = "Legal" Then
                        objReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize = CType(oPaperSize.RawKind, CrystalDecisions.Shared.PaperSize)
                        Exit For
                    End If
                Next
After this I am actually exporting the report to pdf which then opens in adobe pdf reader. I do not use crystal reports viewer. Adobe print dialog always show the letter size. There is an option in page handling -> Choose paper size by pdf page size in the print dialog in adobe. If I choose that then the preview changes to legal but I am not able to set the paper size to legal programmatically.
Thanks,
Priya

Wrong paper size in Mail and Safari

Since I upgraded to Leopard I am having a problem with printing. I have US Letter set in System Preferences and CUPS but Safari and Mail have 4x6 photo paper selected for some reason. I am using an HPC7180 that worked fine with Tiger. This setting must be changed for each print. There must be a way to designate different default settings for each application.

tpetrini,
I went to both Safari and Mail and looked in preferences and neither have a tab that allows you to enter paper size. However, when you go to Print in both you get the print dialog box (in my case I have a Canon IP5200 as my default printer and that is where paper size shows up and my default is set at letter size. Therefore it would lead me to believe that somewhere on your print dialog there should be a place to set default parameters for printing.

Photosmart c7180 paper jams & wrong paper size errors

About 5 weeks ago I bought an ASUS computer with Windows 7, 64 bit and installed the drivers for my printer from the hp website. The printer is hooked up to my wireless network. No problem. 3 weeks later I have constant paper jams, I did the standard clean out paper, clean dust off of rollers and while on, unplug plug from back of printer then from outlet and wait a bit then plug back in. I was able to print a test page then it started happening again, sometimes reporting a paper jam error, sometimes a wrong size paper error, and sometimes an out of paper error. I also noticed that the rollers seem to be trying to grab the paper really fast (faster than they normally did). I have had this printer for many years-not even sure how many-and have hardly had an issue with it ever. I love it.

HI CFox,

Printer selects wrong paper size

when I sent a document to the eprinter it selects photo paper instead of typing paper. How do I correct this? I have changed the preferences to no avail

Why type of document is it that you are sending. By default our ePrint servers will print a photo on 4x6 and a pdf or .doc on a 8.5x11. As of the moment, there is no way to change this.

Wrong paper size in office 2007 word using windows 7 64 bit. solution does not work oj6500

I am using standard #10 envelope and have selected envelope in both word print tab and also under the mailings tab under envelope. I can do nothing but cancle print. I have also tried "plain paper" but still get the mismatch. Help

Hi,
Please try to insert some PDF files from Insert tab --> Object --> Create New --> Adobe Acrobat Document
In addition, make sure Adobe Reader is the default application to open the PDF files.
If the issue persists, please try repair or reinstall the latest version of Adobe reader and check this again.

Distorted PDF paper size with Qt5

Hi,
after updating qpdfview in AUR to 0.4.5-2, files are displayed with an all-wrong paper size. Here's what should show my timetable in qpdfview. I also installed texmaker-qt5 with similar results, leading me to believe that the problem lies with poppler-qt5 - error messages were not shown anywhere. Qpdfview 0.4.4-2 (which used qt4) displays the files without problems. Can anybody confirm this?
Thanks in advance
Eishorn

I think this may help. I had a different problem, but similar.
There is a setting in the OS X print dialog box (under Copies & Pages) called "Paper Handling". By default it is set to "Scale to fit paper size: Letter" This has taken me weeks to figure out. We were trying to print large format (30" x 42") PDFs and they were alway coming out 8.5 x 11. I hope this helps you out.

Reader OLE server does not draw PDF-document if paper size is too big

If PDF document paper size is for example A0 (841 x 1189 mm) OLE object can be created and application shows PDF content correctly. But if application saves it's document and reopens it Reader does not draw content of embedded PDF document any more. Decreasing PDF document size to A1 solves the problem. Embedded object is not corrupted because it is possible to open it to Reader.
I'm confused why Acrobat Reader OLE server is capable of drawing PDF file content in creation phase but not later on when application opens same file containing embedded PDF objects.
"Application" means all possible application that has OLE support. I have tried this with three different applications and the behavior is same with all applications. Because of this I assume that application I'm developing does not have bug.

Hello Sig
The scanner works with a Windows computer, which proves the device is functional at a cursory level. The drivers are now distributed by Apple and this is an Apple computer. There is no scanning software provided by HP. HP's answer is that Mountain Lion takes care of all of this. I anticipate that some setting or driver was somehow tweaked since the scanner had been working with Mountain Lion until a few days ago. The device in question is an Apple product. So, I'm pretty confident that I'm in the right place.

HP LaserJet MFP M476dw paper size mismatch when copying or scanning from ADF

We have HP Color LaserJet MFP M476dw that has an issue when copying or scanning from the ADF.
Put a single A4 sheet in the ADF and choose copy, with all settings correct & no resizing, and the output copy is moved down the page (increased top marging by a couple of inches).
My initial thoughts were a paper size issue (e.g. treating A4 as Letter or vice versa) but all settings look correct. I have even done a reset and started over and the problem remains.
If I take the original and place it on the flatbed and copy from there with all the same settings then it works fine.
There is a similar issue when scanning from the ADF. Again, scanning from the flatbed works fine.
I've tried all I can think of. Does anyone have any further suggestions? Could it be a fault in the ADF?

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

PDF Printer Page Size Limitation

I have been creating documents in Microsoft Publisher 2007 & have been trying to convert them to PDF via the Acrobat PDF Maker. When I am dealing with 11x17 & Poster size (36"x48"), the PDFMaker gets into the Converting Process (60%) then displays the following option:
PDF Page Size in Adobe PDF printer is small causing pages to be split.
Press OK to convert without preserving transparency, bookmarks & links.
Press Cancel to choose a bigger sheet (at least 17.00 by 11.00 inches)
I hit cancel & have changed every Page Size option I can find including:
the Change Conversion Settings, in the Adobe PDF tab in Publisher
Conversion Settings: (Created custom setting with default page size)
Printers & Faxes in Control Panel
Adobe PDF Printer
Printing Preferences
Changed default settings & page size
I even changed the output paper 11x17
Yet, it never fails to try to convert everything into letter size. It seems as though it won't do anything over Letter size.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard & running Windows XP.
PLEASE HELP!

Why does my B8550 keep refusing to print saying I don't have the right paper/paper size?

I have never been so frustrated with a printer. I have never tried using it for making pictures without having problems. I buy HP paper and the printer still refuses to print...I get the message that I have the wrong paper or wrong paper size. Even if I use the option "other photo paper" to try to avoid the sensor in the printer to determine what paper is being used, I still get the same message. And I've checked and rechecked...the paper size I'm programming the printer for is the same size paper I have in the printer.
I have a pavilion g series laptop with Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I went to the hp site to download the printer drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you back up to iCloud? I'm assuming so since you asked about purchasing more storage.
Check Settings > General > Usage on your iPhone and see if you really need everything you're keeping there.

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!!!
