Figured out how to print to 11x17 with Acrobat (but how to save or do this in Preview?)!

after about a year and a half of doing the digital equivalent of walking into a very large building that is totally blacked out - and bumping around endlessly until i found a light swich - i am not able to print to 11x17 out of Acrobat on the Mac.
i have posted the steps below and when i recover from this herculean taks i am going to try and tackle printing to 12 x 18.
i just took another look at PREVIEW and i am afraid that it is going to take me another year and a half to figure out Preview and/or Numbers etcetera - so if anyone has any tips on printing to 11x17 or 12x18 in these two programs i would be uber happy to get the instructions for this.
also, if has ANY IDEAS on how to save this set of preferences so that i can simply print to 11x17 without going through all of these steps each time it would be great. i have not figured out how to save the presets and it is going to make me unhappy especially when i have to print 20 pages at a time.
thanks!

here's documentation on getting 12 x 18 plots out of this machine.
LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO SAVE THESE TO A PRESET.
thanks...

  • What happened to reading pdfs on ipad after "upgrading" to iOS5?  I cant find them nor can I figure out how to save a pdf in iOS5.

    I cant seem to figure out how to save pdf's to my ipad in iOS5.  I understand they got wiped out with the update but why did the feature go away or if it didnt how do I save a pdf for offline viewing?

    Captkenrea-
    It probably depends on where you are seeing the PDFs.  I had not noticed a change with my iPad.
    In Mail, a PDF attachment can be read there, but it also can be "Opened In" some other Apps such as iBooks.  When opened in iBooks, it is saved to one of the bookshelves.  If you do not see it, press on Collections at the top of an iBooks bookshelf.  It may have been saved to a different bookshelf.
    In Safari, often you can press and hold on a link or document, and have additional options appear.

  • I can't figure out how to save my events onto an external hardrive

    I have been looking at the event libraries and everywhere to figure out how to save my files onto an external hardrive. I currently use FCPX to edit Call of Duty Montages for people as my job so I need this to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I really need storage.

    In the Copy Files Into: field there is a pop up that allows you select where your media is copied to.
    Looking at the above screen shot if I want files to be copied to my External LaCie drive I just tick that one.
    Firstly you will have to create at least one Library on the External to send it there.
    There is the CHOOSE option that allows you to navigate anywhere on the the system to manually select a destination.

  • New to Photoshop;Viewing TV and want to save to MY Library to view later. Can't figure out how to save. When I open or click on My Library it shows I need to sign in and within a few seconds it shows my sign in but nothing changes on page.

    Trying to figure out how to save Adobe TV episode as I am new to Photoshop and need insruction... trying to open & save to My Library to view later. It instructs me to sign in but I am already signed in. Anyone know how?

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
    Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
    If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
    Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
    Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
    Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

  • I have an iPhone 4, and I'm able to save photos that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I cannot figure out how to save a video attachment that has been emailed to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I have an iPhone 4 and I can save photos (to my camera roll) that have been emailed to me on the iPhone.  However, I've been unable to figure out how to save  video attachments that have been sent to me on the iPhone.  Any help would be appreciated.   

    Apparently not. I have both an iPhone 4 and an iPad thatbive upgraded to iOS 5.0.1.  While it is reported that if you click on the attached video file and hold that you will be presented a "Save Video" option, all I see is "Quick Look". Thinking it might have been GoodReader, I unknow installed GoodReader but still no option. I wonder if this yet another feature in iOS 5 that doesn't work on upgrades

  • I am trying to figure out how to save/share only a clip out of an entire project.

    I am trying to figure out how to save/share only a clip out of an entire project. I do not want to delete the rest of the timeline as I want to cut/copy out several smaller clips and save/share them as their own files.  I am working on a copy of my original video, and I know I can just bring the project timeline down repeatedly to isolate this clip by deleting all else, but feel there must surely be a simple way to do this.

    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    For now I will generalize the principles involved. If more details needed then, please supply the details of your situation and Timeline track placement.
    You would place the gray tabs of the WorkArea Bar to span just the area to be exported.
    The tabs are set...
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the start of the segment, hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you hit the left bracket key [
    then
    Move the Timeline Indicator to the end of the segment, hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you hit the right bracket key ]
    The critical step is to make sure that you have a check mark next to the "Share Work Area Bar Only" option in the export dialog (if the dialog has that option).
    Please review and remember that the answers are in the details.
    Thanks.

    Use File >> Save As
    Choose a different file name so as not to overwrite the original and don't save any changes when closing the original.

    I have recently bought the new iStick and absolutely love it!  The only question that I have is figuring out how to open a file on my iPad and saving it to the iStIck.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

  • I am still having issues with the TOC. I finally got several chapters and sections to show different pictures in the TOC, but have spent hours trying to figure out how to repeat it. This should be so simple. Is there an update? Please help us Apple.

    I am still having issues with the TOC pictures. I got several chapter/section photos to show up, but can't seem to repeat this success. It is some mystery that happened during a time that I had practically given up. This should be such a simple thing. Drag and place a picture into the placeholder and it shows up in the TOC....right? Help, help help! want to get this thing done and it's taken two days of work just get some of the photos to show up. I am going to have to publish this ibook with no photos in several sections.....why can't this be simple? I have even had someone else spend hours trying to figure this out. This software is such a GREAT idea....come on...help with this little part of it.

    I had the same problem myself. I got to the point where I couldn't replace the photo, of a new chapter, in the TOC. What I did was to duplicate an existing chapter that was working and was able to replace it's TOC's photo. I also found that if you try different areas of the photo you can sometimes get it to replace correctly. For example, instead of dragging the new photo to the middle of an existing photo, try dragging it to the right top corner.

  • I have a MacBook with iWork 09 installed. For a year I would use "save as Word document" to convert my Pages documents for others. I installed Lion yesterday and can't figure out how to save my document as a Word document. Help!

  • I can open Safari, Finder and Google Chrome ( my default browser) but they do not display on my iMac.  Evidently they are minimized somewhere but I can't figure out how to maximize them.  This has been a problem ever since I down loaded Mavericks.

    When I open Safari, Finder or Google Chrome (my default browser) they do not displayanywhere on my iMac. 
    Tthey are minimized somewhere but  how can to maximize them. 
    I can't say for sure this is related to Mavericks but the problem began shortly after dowloading Mavs.
    Any suggested fix?

    Hope the following helps to make things clearer.
    When I left click Safari or Google Chrome in my Dock, neither expands.  When I then right click wither one in teh Dock, a dialog box pops up  which gives me the option to close them, which implies that they are in fact open.
    In other words, when I left click on Safari or Chrome in my Dock, nothing visibly changes on my Desktop.  Indeed, neither Safari not Chrome are listed as the active window in the menu bar.  If I do the same with Finder, at least Finder shows up as active in the menu bar but that's all.  Finder itsef is not accessible and so I cannot  use it.
    On the other hand, I ahve no problem opening up Paralles 9 for Mac to access Windows/Explorer which is what I have done to send this note to teh Apple Communities Forum.  Nor do I ahve a problem opening up any of my other programssuch as Office for Mac, etc.
    I suspect this may be mavericks related but can't say for sure.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks.

  • I have tried everything to figure out how to get rid of this font.....

    and nothing is working! I am going NUTS. Select pages in Safari (craigslist of all things) and my Mail program want to be in this crazy font, which I was told is probably Helvetica fractions. I found it and deleted it from all possible locations I can find, and also deleted some others that people mentioned even might cause a problem. I have cleaned out font cache with Onyx numerous times....not sure what else to do at this point. Also I tried to go into my fontbook program to "resolve duplicates" and I can't--if I select all fonts I can see it in the edit menu but it is greyed out. What gives? Is my whole fontbook program maybe messed up? Thoughts/ suggestions welcome. If you told me gargling salt water standing on my head would fix it I would try it at this point.
    thanks

    What about the fontbook not being able to resolve duplicates?
    Try deleting the 'com.apple.FontBook.plist' file.
    HD/Users/yourhome/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.FontBook.plist
    any other fnts that can commonly cause problems besides the few that are mentioned all the time?
    These two can cause problems 'Times Phonetic' -- 'Rougue Stencil-Type' but probably checked for them.
