Font size in Preview

Hi,
For some reason, or not, I cannot make font sizes larger with the Apple key + combination. I can make the font size smaller with Apple key - but not larger with Apple key +.
Why? The text is NOT at its largest size. I can make things larger by going to the menu and choosing that option.

I think it's just a little weirdness present in some apps but not in others. In most of the browsers, Apple key + does increase the text size. But, for some reason, Text Edit is different. If you look at the keys, you can find a justification for this behavior, but not a real explanation.
Take the "minus" key. You get the "-" symbol without shifting. This makes the text smaller.
Then look at the "plus" key. You must shift to actually get the "+" symbol.
I do not know why the behavior is not consistent with all apps.
Regards,
Steve M.

Controlling Font Size in Preview

Is there a way to increase font size in Preview before printing? The default is too small for me, and I don't see where to control font size.
Thanks.

Yes, you'd have to load them, (HTMLs), into another APP, say Text Edit even, select all, then set the Font and/or size before saving as a PDF.
Once it's a PDF, it preserves the Font, size and everything else.
Another Option would be to load the PDFs into a PDF editor, say Acrobat Pro, and change the size there.

"apple-+" does not increase font size in preview pane in mail.app 4.2

i have letterbox http://harnly.net/2009/software/letterbox/letterbox-beta-4-for-snow-leopard/ installed on my machine. before the SL upgrade, i could hit cmd-+ and increase the font size of the message i am viewing. that was super convenient!
i can't do it any more. any ideas anybody on how to bring that back? btw, if i open a separate window for the message, i can use cmd-+ to increase font size. but no more can i use it in the preview window.

the obvious suspect would be letterbox. it's beta (=bugs) and I've also heard report that it's incompatible with 10.6.2. you can try uninstalling it and see if that fixes the issue.

Outlook 2013 Font Size in Preview Pane

Our first Mac user in the office - Macbook Air - purchased last week.
We have installed Office 2013 for MAC.
How can we adjust the preview pane font size - make is larger.
We can adjust the font size for new messages and the inbox list of emails is large. But the preview pane font is still small. Cannot figure out how to permanently make it larger. We understand that we can open the message and zoom on each one. but looking for a permanent solution.

Font Size in preview and printed web pages

Hi: I have had a long running problem that annoys me. ever since I purchased a 20inch LCD and changed my display to 1680x1050, web pages that I print appear very small. the same thing happens if I go through preview. Word documents do not have this problem; the font size there appears normal and is easily read.
Is there a solution to this?

There is a way to increase the default 72 DPI rez that saving a PDF uses, if your interested I'l try to find it.
Nevermind, found it...
To save PDFs in better resolution from Preview, try these Quartz Filters courtesy Jerome Colas...

"Preview," how to change font size for when you "fill in the blanks" in a pdf file?

In the pdf reader, "PREVIEW,"
I specifically want to find out how to change the font size for "fill in the blanks" information. They're usually huge and i just simply want to make them smaller.
As a complete aside, is there a keyboard shortcut for being on google chrome or safari, then immediately opening the window for "preview." I'm typing notes out on preview while listening to a video lecture on my web browser, usually chrome, and i'd like to switch back and forth.
Thank you, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

HI Velders,
Can't answer your first question but can offer some information regarding your 'aside.'
Command-tab will move the focus to the most recent previous application. If repeated, it will step through the pen applications from most to least recent. In your described case, you could use command-tab to toggle between Preview and Safari.
Command-~ runs you through the open windows in the same application. As with command-tab, the steps are from most to least recent.
Regards,
Barry

Font size increases in preview

You have no font-size defined in your nav.
.nav li {
font-size:14px;
Keep in mind, that users can increase text size in browser.
There's no way
to stop that.

Font size difference in preview/export vs. design view

In a very simple project (Xcelsius Engage 2008) I've begun, I have noticed that upon previewing the project in Xcelsius or exporting to HTML, the font size is not the same as what I see when I am specifying/seeing in design mode. Incidentally, I am using embedded fonts in Document Properties, and the font in question is Trebuchet MS (which does exist on my workstation).
Edited to add: Never mind, it appears that you sometimes have to re-do the font settings in Document Properties again. I might be mis-interpretting the conditions that lead up to what I saw, but if my assumption is correct I didn't realize this step needed to be repeated when new objects are added.

How can I adjust the font size, etc., when completing a PDF form in Preview?

I would like to use Preview to fill-out or complete a PDF form. The default font that Preview uses when I begin typing in a field is too large. How can I adjust the font size. And while I'm asking, can I also adjust the font color, weight, emphasis, etc.?

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

Report viewer is not printing the exact font size format if the application is run through virtual machine or RDP.

Hi good day!,
I'm still having this problem with the font size format of my report, although I already installed this hotfix at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2768741/en-us, if I run the application using RDP or virtual machine. Anyway, I'm using VS2010 with sql server
2012 express through windows 7. Actually, I tried to search for a new and updated hotfix version but having no luck,:) since i'm not good at it (google search).:)
So, I need help on how to fix this problem.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi JJorheim,
Thanks for the link that you had given. Actually, Previewing the report on an RDP or VM environment is not a problem at all because it yields smooth result based on the report design. The problem only exist if print button icon of the report viewer is pressed
which results to a magnified font size printout. I think it is a rendering problem a somewhat default behavior of a report viewer print method. So one of the remedy is to adjust the resolution of an RDP or VM to 1024x768
(4:3 ratio) as suggested by the others, which momentarily solve this problem but not necessarily the other way around.
Anyway, thanks again for the reply.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
In most cases you can adjust the scale of your documents before you print.

Change Font size in RichText Datawindow 1 column

Running PB 12.1 Classic.
Whatever I do; font size does not want to change in a Richtext presentation style external datawindow size of column = string 20000000 bytes
Why = long story - converting unix reports to PB for Archiving.
I do this after the only column is populated. You can actually see all text
dw_1.SelectTextall()     Actualy selects ALL text in dw
I have tried to setColumn(1) returns -1
src = dw_1.Modify("a.Font.Height='-8'")      a = column name     Line 1 Column 15: incorrect syntax.
li_rtn = dw_1.SetRichTextSize(8)    li_rtn = -1
I could use 2 datawindows with different Font sizes but I would like to know how can I accomplish this with code.
Anything else works
src = "DataWindow.Print.Orientation='1'
src = dw_1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.PrinterName='Xerox Phaser 5500DX PS Tray 3'")
src = dw_1.Modify( "datawindow.print.preview=yes" )
ls_default_printname = dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.PrinterName
li_PageCount = long ( dw_1.describe ("evaluate('pagecount()'," + string ( dw_prt.rowcount() ) + ")"))
src = dw_1.Modify( "datawindow.print.preview=no" )
ls_page_range =dw_1.describe ( "DataWindow.Print.Page.Range" )
li_noCopies = integer( dw_1.describe ("DataWindow.Print.Copies"))
src = "DataWindow.Print.Copies='" +String(astr_spool.copies)+"'"
src = dw_1.Modify( src )
src = "DataWindow.Print.duplex='" + String(astr_spool.duplex)+"'"
src = dw_1.Modify( src )
src = "DataWindow.Print.paper.Source='2'"
src = dw_1.Modify( src )
dw_1.Object.DataWindow.Print.PrinterName= 'Sybase Datawindow PS'

Luis,
Not according to the examples in PB help under the Controls in a DataWindow and their properties section. While there are no specific examples for Font.Height, there are for other properties expecting numeric values
ie (copied from PB help) -
dw_1.Modify("emp_name.X=10")
dw_1.Modify("empname.Height=50")
dw_1.Modify("emp_stat.Protect=1")
dw_1.Modify("DataWindow.Print.Margin.Top=500")
etc
None of the examples I've seen use quotes around the property value where the value is expected to be numeric.
Although, like I said, I've seen Modifys using numeric arguments work both with and without quotes.
The setColumn(1) returning -1 is a concern. Seems to indicate there's something fishy going on ... wonder what happens if you try SetColumn with the column name. What event/function is this code executing from?
