Exported PDF page size too large on screen

Fairly new to InDesign ( and loving it )
I am creating a document using InDesign v5. which has a page size of 8.5 x 11 in and two pages to a spread.
When I export a page or a spread to PDF the page or spread will print fine BUT when I view this PDF on screen at 100% the size is quite a bit larger than 8.5 x 11 in
can anyone explain why and how I can view the file at 100% on screen AND at the correct printing size.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

PDF file size too large

Hi,
I have a report (6i and 9Ids) which contains an image (stored as a blob in the database (8i)). The size of the image in the database (and as a file) is just 750k. The image is sized to fit on to the A4 report page. If I set the desformat of this report to PDF the resulting PDF output file is 10mb in size. I need to make this report available over the web so this is too large. Has anyone got any ideas as to reducing the output file size?
I have tried the pdfcomp report parameter with no joy.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy,
The image you are using might be a JPEG image. In 6i and 9i, while generating the PDF file, Oracle Reports always converts the image to GIF and embed it. This image type conversion increases the file size of the outputimage and hence PDF file size increases. This is fixed in Oracle Reports 10g.
In Oracle Reports 10g, you can select the outputimageformat based on your need, using either:
1. commandline: OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
(or)
2. environment variable: REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT
If your image in the database is a JPEG image, set the outputimageformat to JPEG. Hence, there will not be any image type conversion and the PDF file will be very small.
Please refer to the Publishing Reports manual to know more about the usage of these commandline/environment variable.

Solution-If your export PDF page size is wrong or reduced

I had the comments hidden and still had problems at the printer with all my page content reduced in size and odd...until I found one image, in my multipage brochure, where it's invisible box had extended way beyond the page size in Pages. I opened Photoshop and trimmed my image down and all GREAT. Keep all invisible boxes for images inside your page borders.

Export "Adobe PDF Page Size" ?

Hello:
Is there a way to export custom Adobe PDF Page Sizes from computer to computer? We have a series of custom page sizes for Architectural sheets and currently we have to enter them manually for each computer in the office.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Seeing 750k described as a huge PDF is amusing when I often need to send files for print that are 750 mb or more.
That aside, exported PDF nearly always is larger than distilled PDF because it can include a lot more information like transparency and color management intents. The warning about fonts just means that the preset is set to not embed fonts during distilling to reduce file size (so the viewer must have the fonts on the system for viewing or printing properly), and ID always embeds fonts during export unless they are restricted, so not embedding your fonts will be ignored. You can unembed them using the optimizer.
So why is a 750k PDF too large? Perhaps there's a better format all around for what you are doing.

PDF Page Sizes - Large format sizes missing (Acrobat Std 11)

Hi All,
We are an Architectural practice that has recently purchased a number of Acrobat Standard 11, licences. This is to supplement the 6 creative suites we already have.
We have discovered however, that Standard does not have large format page sizes available such as A2, A1, A0 etc. Why? I have installed these as standalone licences on 5 other computers to date, all with the same missing information.
The Adobe suites we have are standard and only have acrobat 9, they have these sizes, so how can a higher version have them missing?
This problem is all over the web including these forums. The latest i could find was nearly a year ago. I am hoping Adobe has created a patch to fix this problem since.
Attempts to add custom sizes to match the suites indicates they already exist! We can only create the sizes we need if we use different names, which is problematic for us as many of our settings look for this name to setup our printing.
I would appreciate any assistance in fixing this problem as
Thank you.

I have the same problem. There is a reasonably good workaround. You can permanently define as many additional pages sizes as you needed including non-standard sizes. I have one that is 36" X 90".
Here's how (I'm using Widows 7):
1. From the Start Dialog, choose Devices and Printers in the lower right.
2. On the Devices and Printers control panel right-click on Adobe PDF and select Printing Preferences
3. On the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences dialog click the "Add" button
4. On the Add Custom Paper Size dialog enter a name that will make sense to you like "A1" or, in my case "36 X 90"
5. On the Add Custom Paper Size dialog select the correct unit of measure and enter the width and height
6. On the Add Custom Paper Size dialog click the "Add/Modify" button
7. The new size is now available in the Adobe PDF Page Size drop-down. Select it. Click "OK"
8. On the Devices and Printers control panel right-click on Adobe PDF and select Printing Preferences
9. On the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences dialog you will see that the new size is NOT selected. Select it again. This time it will become the current selection. Making a paper size the current select may not be needed for all applications.
After step 6, if you open an application the new size should appear in the paper size drop-down from Print > Properties > Paper/Quality tab > Advanced button. It may also appear in the drop-down of the Adobe PDF Setting tab.
I hope this helps.

ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

My website page is too large

hi guys i have created webpages for my site but the pages are
too larg in or wide how can i setep to a normal ixplorer page or
what is the size to setup?/

Resolution only determines the maximum browser width. You may
well have a
fancy new monitor with a preferred browser width of 800 (or
less) px. It's
the browser width that causes your layout to fail, not the
resolution.

Wrong PDF page size in Excel

When I use PDFMaker to "print" the print area of one particular spreadsheet, the Adobe PDF page size is 11.18 x 14.47 inches.
When I use Adobe PDF printer, the Adope PDF page size is 8.5 x 11.0.
Excel Page size = Letter (8.5 x 11.0)
Excel Page orientation = Portrait
Excel Page Parameter = Fit print area to 1 page x 1 page
Selected Printer = Adobe PDF
Selected Paper size in Adobe PDF dialog boxes = Letter
Selected Paper size in PDFMaker Preferences = Letter
When I change the Excel Page Size to Tabloid (11 x 17):
Adobe PDF printer creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Adobe PDF Maker creates a page size of 11.0 x 17.0
Can anyone shed light on the problem experienced by PDFMaker on the Letter sized request?
I am running:
Windows XP, SP3
MS Excel 2007
Acrobat 9.1.2
PDFMOfficeAddin.dll version 9.1.0.0
PDFMExcel.dll version 9.1.0.0

Hello everyone!
It's been long since this topic was active but I just wanted to share my solution to a similar problem.
I was trying to use the built-in Save as PDF function of Excel 2007 and my sheet which also had some headers and footers was not coming out correctly.
From Page Layout tab, I clicked the small icon on the corner of the Page Setup. Then I clicked the Header/Footer tab and removed the tick next to where it says "Scale with document" and viola! I miraculously could export my sheet in the correct page size.
May this be helpful to not just who have had this problem before, but also the ones that will come afterwards!
Cheers!

Change pdf page size to uploaded file page size

I've added a new page size in the PDF printer -- but when I identify a file that is being converted
in Acrobat Pro9, the finished pdf is always 8x11. I can't find any page size adjustment in preferences
or page setup,properties, etc. Please help

>How do I change the pdf page size to print on the larger size without the blank, empty margins above and below the page?
You can't. That would require changing font sizes and document reflow. 8.5 x14 isn't proportionate to 8.5x11.

Saving Adobe PDF Page Size without Admin Rights?

Ok to get started, to define the limits of my environment for replication:
I'm using Windows XP SP3 and have tried Adobe Acrobat 8, 9, and X, my computer is on a network at work, and my user rights are limited.
Open Printing Preferences, Click Add...
The "Add Custom Paper Size" window appears, give a new name and define sizes of the paper.
Lets say I'm printing to a large format say 36" Tall by 108" Long (3ft x 9ft)
Click Add/Modify, the window goes away, focus again on Adobe PDF Printing Preferences. Click the drop down box for Adobe PDF Page Size:
The page size I just added to the list is not there!
The solution to the this problem is to have Administrative Rights to your machine in order to add custom paper sizes.
Note to Adobe Acrobat Programmers/Designers: please redevelop this feature to allow users to add paper sizes without Power User or Admin Rights. In a secure network these rights are not easily given out to every Dick and Jane that uses your software.

Interesting post, and for once, something one should be able
to work with.
I have a similar problem:
We're using a software distribution tool to install
msi-packages via rpc. Trying to distribute the latest flashplayer
works fine, but the users can't open flash-files, whether with
firefox nor internetexplorer tried 6 and 7 with latest patches.
I've found two possible ways to install a flashplayer plugin,
but both require manual input, which is just not possible for
>100 Clients. just to mention: clean registry and then install
with admin rights or just run the installer with admin rights from
the local machine.
Another problem is, that our company security policy
prohibits from using admin-rights for most installations.
is there any workaround?
regards
Matthias Hilpert
ps: /sticky or at least a FAQ :-)

Excel to Adobe PDF page size problems

I am using Excel 2007 on a Windows XP setup with Acrobat 9.0 PDFM OfficeAddin. I want to convert my Excel sheets to 8.5"x11" size pages, but they come out as approx. 22"x30" pages. I've checked the page size setting in Excel and the Adobe preference settings and they are both set for 8.5x11, but the pdf page size is always much larger! What is causing this and what do I need to do to get 8.5x11 size pdf pages?
Thanks you for your help. I've pulled out most of my hair by now!

Change your printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then set the cell sizes in Excel. This is just the normal Excel adjustment to the printer.

Hi ka_tin,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If the largeness you are seeing is related to the Accessability Zoom function (a feature that allows you to zoom in on the screen for people with vision issues), you may find the following page helpful:

Export to AVI file too large! The secret setting to smaller AVI files is?

The recent death of a internationally respect friend has put me in a position of creating a memorial video for an upcoming event—and it should have been finished 2 days ago! So I'm pressed for time.
The problem is the display format: a large digital picture frame that also shows stereo video, but only in AVI format. We've tried .mov, .mpeg, .divx, .wmv, .vcl, .mpg1 to 4... Nope. It's got to be .avi or the picture frame balks. (Really, any .avi movie plays fine and no other format works.)
So I've taken the 5-minute memorial video, exported it as AVI and it comes out okay—except the smallest file size I can get is over 1.12GB! Whew! By comaprison, exporting to DIVX would get it down to around 100MB with decent quality. But 1.12GB is simply too huge for such a short video.
What's the correct export in FCE for lowest possible AVI yet still have good video?

Note: All video was transferred from a Panasonic NV-GS250 digital tape camera. It's 5 years old.
I've played with three codecs and the lowest file size I can achieve is roughly 400Mb in Cinepak Low Quality at 25fps, but regardless of the Cinepak setting (very low or very high) the picture quality is awful and washy, colors pixelate and come and go—and it doesn't matter if the video is showing still images or motion. Not useful at all. The colors are "millions" and changing that to 256 immediately shoots the file(s) up to over 12GB! (Yet I'd think it should be the other way around.)
Cinepak, DV-PAL, and DVCPRO-PAL are the three compressions I've tried, and the PALs convert with good picture quality and good sound to a minimum 1.2GB all the way up to over 20GB for a 5-minute video; Interlaced or Progressive doesn't reduce anything; of these None is the lowest. I +haven't tired+ DVCPRO50-PAL and neither any NTSC compressions (because I live in Germany). But this is for a digital picture frame—that I cannot change and for some weird reason will only support AVI—and it's not a T.V., rather it's no different that any modern flatscreen computer display. So how should PAL or NTSC make a difference?
Sound compression has been tried at ALaw 2:1 and µLaw 2:1, but they also seem to keep the overall file size too large. So I've been working more with None. Using 8 bit actually increases file size over 16 bit, and I've noticed little difference between mono or stereo.
I've worked with FCE for nearly 2 years and have never had such a headache over file sizes. But now I've met my match with AVI.

Page header plus page footer too large for the page in crystal report 2008.

Hi,

regds,
samapth

This is a really hard post to read. See if you can take a bit of time to reword it, but one thing I do understand is that you are getting this error:
page header plus page footer too large for the page.
Typically, you can trust that if the error is thrown, it is true. E.g.; this is not one of those errors that says one thing, and means another. I suspect that you have some field(s) in the header(s) that grow, depending on the data. If there is too much data or the data is too long ( a text for example), the error will be thrown. To resolve this, see if placing the field(s) into a group footer / header will help.
