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

Export to PDF and font size

Hi,
When I export the report to PDF, the font size is getting reduced. It is because of the legal size I have set in the report. If I set the print size to letter the font size are retained after export to pdf. I am using CR for visual studio 2005. Please help.
Thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
Try with this:
Go to the following registry sub key:
HKEY_USERS\[your security profile]\Software\Crystal Decisions\10.2\Crystal Reports\Export\Pdf
Right-click the sub key and click New > DWORD Value. Name the DWORD value "ForceLargerFonts" and set it to the value of 1.
Note :Backup the registry before making any changes.

Export to PDF (smallest file size) is giving me a very large file

Hi all,
I got 2 document with around 100 pages (same size), with a picture or two in each page.
I've been using the Export to PDF (smallest file size) and export it.
first file became 5MB, which is fine
second file became 30MB, this is much too much.
I have used the exact same setting for both files and have no idea why the big difference between them.
The only difference between them is that first file contains CMYK photos, and second one - RGB.
Can this be the difference?
Any suggestions?
thanks,
shlomit

That's certainly part of the difference. Additional font information if one of the documents uses more fonts or additional glyphs could be some of it, too. Swatches and styles might also be a factor. Vectors don't compress like bitmaps, either.
Have you opened the optimizer and done a space usage audit to see what is taking up all the space? Did you do a Save AS before export?

Can (CS5) Export to PDF and Compress all Images ?

Using CS5, I have a "Book" with 12 chapters, and a total of about 800 color images. The goal is to export it as one PDF file that will be viewed on screens, not sent to a printer.
When I did export to PDF , the file size was enormous: about 240 MB.
I want this file to be much -- much! -- smaller sized (in terms of MB).
I have all the images at different resolutions -- from 72 dpi to 220 dpi -- and I do not need the higher resolutions.
What is the best way to approach this problem? ...
--Is there a way to set Indesign to compress all the images during the export ?
--Or can Photoshop be used to "batch" compress all the images to 72dpi ?
--Or is there some other method that I can't even imagine.
Thanks very much !
Zorba

Look in the Export to PDF Dialog. In the "Compression" panel, you can set a maximum allowed dpi -- any image with a value above the "above" value will be downsampled to the "to" value.
This only works on bitmap images; if you have placed large vector images, there is no way to automatically decrease their size.

Export for PDF and items disapear from the page...

Hello Big Masters,
please give me a solution to the fact that:
I lose some items (a text box and a graphic) at the export from Indesign to PDF.
-The file is 6 pages long. Simple. Some text and small pictures.
-The missing items are close to the right bottom of the page. It is allways on the same page. In my case on the last page.
-The missing item is exactly the same like some others. (it is like an object I could put on master page, but I wanted only to COPY/ PASTE IN PLACE)
-I tried countless solutions, but no one passed successfully. I tried to ungroup/regroup (it is an object made of letters and outlined letters), I tried to outline all of the object, I tried recopy the object, I tried to put the page in a different order (thinking that the bug always came on the last page), I closed down indesign, I tried different PDF quality options, I tried renaming and overwriting, I checked all the layers (they are all printable). NOTHING worked.
I start worring about the quality of Indesign, that I thought being the perfect software for multipage layouts, but I experienced this bug that wasted me 2 hours. In the researches for solutions I also found out that more problems are ahead in big ePubs or when you bring old big files, with Masterpages, it seems that is a real mess what comes out.
Do you experience these troubles with Bermuda-effect in Indesign (dissapearing items surprisingly unexpected...)???

The answer for you is YES.
But Still didn't get the bug solved.
The first pic as you see, is from ID before I export to PDF
and the last image is the crazy pdf file, I am getting.
If the adobe guys need my file for investigation, I can send it to them somehow.
But then again, I got a compromise solution by putting the "missing" object on a separate masterpage.

Export to PDF and Spot Color Reg Marks

This sounds like a simple problem but I have not been able to find a way to do this. When I create a document in ID with 2 spot colors and then export to a pdf and add registration marks (or crop marks) at this stage, the reg marks are created as the spot colors in the document AND Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. I am outputting to a RIP to generate printing plates. This is a problem because I will get six plates (four with only reg marks) rather than just the two I need. Is there a way to add the reg marks in the export stage so that they are created as only the colors that are present in the document?

Add a slug around your document (File>Document Setup>Show Options)
If your bleed is 3 mm and you want to add 5 mm crop marks, set the slug to be 8 mm all around
On the master page make a line at .25 pt and place this outside the bleed area and touching the slug line
Do this for all master pages.
Set the stroke colour to registration.
Export to PDF and choose to include bleed and slug.
Don't turn on crop marks.

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

Export to pdf and xls issue

Hello All,
I have a button group to export to pdf and to Excel in a web template.
It worked fine the first time and on a second run it stopped working. Since then, I've tried everything (recreate the buttons, reboot..) and it just does not work.
Export to pdf gives me the parameters screen. I get a screen flash when I click OK and... nothing.
Export to Excel does not react at all. I also tried to export to Excel directly from the Analysis (built-in on right click) and it does not work.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks
JL

Make sure you server is sized correctly, you can look at note 927530 for this.
Also in SP 11 patch 1 and higher there are lots of improvements on the performance of BI JAVA, try getting the latest SP fo BI JAVA ,

Export to PDF ignores document size settings?

I have several documents in InDesign CS4 and when I export them to PDF the document size changes.
I have set all the following options to A4 (210x297mm):
In Indesign: File->Document Settings
In Windows->Printer settings->Adobe PDF->Paper Size
After exporting and opening in Reader 9 the document size has changed to 210 x 303.3mm
This then requires a tweak before the first print run.
I should be able to just export to production and they can print from the PDF without checking the settings!
What have I missed?

I am using the export option not printing to PDF.

Export to PDF - Change Font size

Hello everybody,
We were exporting reports to PDF file using te "Export to PDF" option in WAD. We recently have updated the BI environment with the SP17 patch. After the patch, the font size of the reports in the export PDF file has become very small and hence not clear.
Is there a place where we can adjust the font size of the Texts seen in the "Exported PDF reports"?
Please help me with your Knowledge and Experience,
Shameem

Hi Rane,
Thank you for your input. I am aware that we can zoom the document and see the content. However when we print the report, the reports are not as clear as it was before SP17 installation. Thats the problem.
Regards,
shameem

Pattern swatches are shifting when exported to PDF and viewed in Preview/GoodReader

I've tried for days to find an answer to this question, but haven't succeeded. Please also be aware that I'm a self-taught Adobe Creative Suite user. I'm working on a Mac with CS6.
I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created charts in Illustrator using the pattern swatches feature. (These are knitting charts. Each square contains a pattern swatch representing the knitted stitch.)
I am then placing these charts in their native .ai format into an Indesign file and exporting them to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the Mac Preview reader and in GoodReader, the charts do this...
... the pattern swatches shift around inside their squares. Each of those dots should be centered inside their squares. In Preview, when I resize the application frame, the pattern swatches move as I re-size the frame. Any ideas about what might be happening here?
I've tried saving the charts as PDFs and placing those into the InDesign file. Doesn't help. Exporting the charts as images (jpg or tif) works, but I have to make the resolution/file size ridiculously large to get the quality of the vector image. I'd rather place the .ai files into the .indd file if possible.

Try using File>Object>Expand on a copy of the original before making the PDF for placing.

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.
