Giant Printer/Page size list - how do I manage them?

I use InDesign/Quark/Illustrator and my output needs to be a .PS 100% of the time. So I don't need any other PPDs othe than my PDF 7 PPD and no more than 4 paper sizes. but every time I go to print to a PostScript file I have to navigate through a huge list of PPDs and same for paper size. Have you encountered this problem before. Please help! THANKS!!

I have the same issue. There are several redundant printers that are in my printer drop down list.
For whatever reason, the printer that is powered on, and showing online, does not seem to want to stay connected to the computer. The only solution seems to be to uninstall the printer and re-install it. When that happens, it leaves a copy of
the printer que in the system with the documents waiting to print still listed.
Likely, somewhere in the registry, there is a ghost file that cannot be accessed from the main interface.
ANY answers would be appreciated!

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other comp

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other computers who have adobe pro installed?

your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
Thanks for helping.

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.

Is there a better way to edit and create a Page Size list for InDeisgn CC 2014?

I have about 65 iMac machines I'm responsible for at a publishing company. The users need a specific custom Page Size list to display when setting up a new document. It's a very long list of sizes for various products. The only way I know how to edit this size list is to open the .xml file in Dreamweaver and edit the code. I would like to know if there is a better way to do this for InDesign CC 2014. At the moment I have to take this one file and install individually on all users accounts on all 65 machines. Here is the path of the file I edit by hand: Mac HD/Users/(User Account)/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 10.0/en_US/Pages Sizes/New Page Sizes.xml

There is no special folder for templates. You just put them where it makes sense to you, and you access the same way you would open any existing file.
The only functional difference between a template (.indt) and document (.indd) file is the default opening behavior. By default templates open as untitled copies and documents open as originals. You can change from one to the other just by changing the file extension.
The advantage of using a template over a document size preset is the preset only defines a page size. The template can include multiple pages, multiple master pages, styles you want to use, objects already in place, etc. And the use of a template removes the temptation to "recycle" an old issue of a recurring project. Starting each issue fresh from a known clean template reduces the risk of accumulated minor corruption that can eventually cause a fatal problem.

Fix header/footer size to print page size

Hi, is there a way to fix the font size of the header/footer to the print page size?
Example, when printing 1 PDF in letter, but the pages are from various sized originals, I want all the headers and footers to be the same size on the final letter size printed document. Currently the header and footer changes to the original page size.
HELP?????

CR doesn't have an option to print just one part of the page. Your only option is to hide all parts you don't want to print first.
Also, you should post your question to the Legacy Developer forum. I'll move it there for you.

Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.

Custom Page Size list...can it be re-ordered?

As a service provider I must get asked this question two or three times per week. I'm hoping someone has figured this out as it seems to be a pretty common complaint.
When you create a new custom page size the new size gets added to the list in a completely arbitrary manner. I'd hope that they would get added in order of creation date, or grouped based on dimmenstion, but it seems completely random. Is there a way to fix this, like a preferences file to hack?
Cheers,
Eric Bullock

The file that the pages sizes are kept in is:
(user)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompapers.plist
There may be some plist editors out there that will help (Pref Setter?), but that's the file you'll want to edit.
Hope this helps.

Reducing Print page size

Hi All,
          I have used printing job in my project. I have added images, shapes and text etc in printing group. While printing, it takes some two to three minutes to getting print
bcoz of file size. I have used canvas to print all those things. Could any one help me to reduce this file size or how can i print without taking this long time.
         Thank you in advance.

Hi ,
        I have used printjob in my project for printing. I have a stage with images, shapes and text etc in printing group. While printing, it takes some two to three minutes to getting a single page. The Print Spooler window shows that 60MB for each page.
       file size is 60MB per page, which takes long time to print any solution?

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!

What's the maximum print (page) size supported by CS5 64-bit?

I'm using 64-bit Windows 7, Photoshop CS5 64-bit, and have 24GB of RAM. I've put together some panoramas - big ones, up to 20'-30' long. I know the 32-bit version of Photoshop on a 32-bit processor and OS had a page size limit of around 108" long or so. To print anything longer than that required the use of an expensive RIP.
Does anyone know if my 64-bit goodness will allow me to print panos that are 20 to 30 feet long, without having to purchase a RIP? I'd simply give it a try, but I hate to waste a ton of paper just to find out that it wouldn't print completely. Any ideas?
Thanks much!
Scott

I think that some print drivers have a limit too, you might want to state what driver you are using.
Some printers do not use a driver, but an export module, that should alleviate all limits.
I remember a very old 30.000 pixel limit, that, I think has been lifted. you want to check the reference documents.

Can no longer print reduced size pagess exactly where I want them on a sheet.

Using Firefox 18.0 on XP Pro SP3 (up-to-date as far as I know)
This problem began suddenly on or about 01/12/2013.
There may have been some auto updates. (Looking at dates on Program Files directories, I see Mozilla Firefox was changed 1/11/2013 at 0901, so this may be a new problem with 18.0.)
I for a couple years, I have been printing Sudoku puzzles at 70% or 80% reduction, setting margins in Page Setup, so that I can place the puzzle precisely where there is available white space on used paper of various sizes and in landscape or portrait orientation. Occasionally the result was not what I expected, but it always turned out that I had not set Page Setup parameters correctly, and easily resolved the problem. No longer.
I have found a trick to get Firefox to recognize and remember a selected or custom page size (such as Legal) from session to session which I make use of and may possibly be relevant.

Wow! At least it's not just me!
I've been trying to do various tests, and now my results are a bit different:
Going off Candace's notes:
1) Doesn't work for me. This is what I used to do and want to do again: create a PDF from any application by clicking Print (eg, the Print link on web page) or pressing command-P. No file is created now.
2) I didn't even know this option existed. It worked for me, but I don't want to print my documents there. I want to be prompted for a name and folder of my choosing in the dialog box.
3) Oddly, this morning after reading Candace's response, I now only get prompted with one dialog box, not two. Again, I don't want to do this. I want it to work as before where after invoking Print I would be offered a dialog box asking me what to name the file and in which folder to create it.
Thanks, Candace! I appreciate your post!
