How can I make Acrobat stop shrinking scanned documents??

Very fr
ustrated in the fact that every time I scan a document for various purposes, the end result has been shrunk
so that only certain areas of the document are seen in the .pdf file.  It seems to happen
especially with documents with alot of lines.  My goal is to scan a document, and have it look exactly like the document with no shrinkage.  Please help!

I have the same issue with my Xerox Documate 152.  I'm trying to create a fillable form from a scanned document, but I need the user to print only the fields onto an original form.
When I scan the document -- and I've tried it as a .pdf and as a .tiff -- it is significantly different from the original.  When you hold the two up together in light, you can see how the scanned one is completely misaligned.  Looks like nearly a half inch vertically and maybe about 1/16th of an inch horizontally.  That means that when I create the form from the scanned document, the fields do not print onto the original form in the right places.
This isn't an Acrobat issue given that the same problem occurs with a .tiff file, but does anyone have a solution?  The scanned document simply doesn't match the original.  I can't find an answer elsewhere online.
Thanks!

  • On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automaticall crops off part of each end of the image.  How can I make it stop?

    On images that are long and narrow horizontally, iPhoto truncates them and automatically crops off part of each end of the image.  the thumbnail has a jagged, serrated edge at both ends.  How can I make it stop?

    Then I do not get your problem - you can import the photo - you can find the photo and you can edit and save the photo - what more do you want?
    By defination thumbnails are small images to help you find the large image - the large image is fine and you can find it fine - and you know it is only showing part of the image because of the "jagged ends"
    If you think think that iPhoto should display long thumbnails suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto Feedback
    as to your digital photoframe - contact them - in general gital photos frames display one and only one aspect ratio and any photo that is not in that aspect ratio will be modified to display - either cropped to the proper size for the frame or have 'White" space added to fill the frame - that function is totally controled by the Digital Photo frame and any otptions you have will be in the manual or on the support web site for the frame - to put it in old film terms - you can not put an 8x10 print in a 5x7 frame unless you cut the photo down (or a 8x15 photo in an 8x10 frame either)

    When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

    You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
    Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

  • Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

    Just restored my iPhone 5  from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?  We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings.  I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

    Hi Big Slick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Cheers,
    Joe

    Whenever I open my browser, the check plugins page keeps opening, even after I have updated all of my plugins.
    How can I make this stop?

    That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />
    That update will remove the severity="0" flags in the file that cause the problem.

  • How Can I Make Acrobat Not Resize Images?

    I am trying to turn around 80 images into the pages of a PDF file. The pictures are saved as JPEGs and have the exact dimensions I want them to have as pages of a PDF. When I turn them into a PDF in Acrobat Pro 9 they get resized so when viewed at 100% the text looks like crap. I want to know how I can make Acrobat not mess with the dimensions of my pictures when turning them into a PDF. I make the PDF by clicking the Create button and selecting Merge Files into a Single PDF... . I then drag and drop the pictures into the window and click Combine Files. I have tried all three of the File Size settings and all of them turn out wrong. How can I make this expensive program work the way I want it to by doing htis simple thing right?
    I have attached two files, the first of one of the images that will make a page viewed in windows picture and fax viewer at the original size. The second is a screen shot of the messed up PDF with blurry text, viewed at 100%. I want the text in the second picture to look just like the text in the first.

    I am not trying to justify Adobe's choice, just an explanation of what may have happened. When one asks for 100%, there is a question of by pixel, by inches (cm), or by size on the screen. These are interpretations and the fact that MS and Adobe interpret them differently is not surprising. However, I think that what you are seeing is a result of the pixel display issues on the screen and with proper sizing, they should appear the same (at least I think). In Acrobat, there is also a smoothing feature under the display preferences that may be an issue and is related to how it extrapolates for the pixels.

  • How can I make Acrobat 8 pro stop trying to install?

    Hello,
    Background: I am using a Sony Vaio laptop with Windows Vista home edition.
    I don't wish to create pdfs etc. right now, just read them with Adobe Reader 8.1 that is on my machine.  Right now, whether using Firefox or IE, if I attempt to view a pdf within a browser, the pdf displays briefly but then Acrobat 8 pro gives a pop up that says I must install to view. It then wipes the screen and I must hit quit on the pop up.  The way around this is to quickly save the file and then open it from the hard drive using Reader.  I would like to make this stop.  I have tried the following: uninstalling the trial version of Acrobat 8 pro on my machine and changing all default programs in both browsers that open anything related to a .pdf away from Pro and to Reader.  In the first case, my machine will not allow me to uninstall the trial software and the second 'fix' does not work either.  Despite the application to use clearly being specified as Reader, it still opens in Pro and problems commence.  Any advice? Thanks, Seth Myers

    I'm in the same boat, it's been about 5 or so weeks (whenever the new iphone came out) and it's still downloading. Any help would be appreciated. I just updated to iOS 8.1 like 5 mins ago and nothing

    yogawithlexi,
    Welcome to the forum.
    Im also needing to just edit the photos but adding text. Nothing fancy. I just want to make some flyers.
    For editing photos, to be output to the printed page (whether by a commercial printing service, or a desktop printer), I strongly recommend Photoshop Elements (PsE).
    If you need to output to a video file, then Premiere Elements (PrE) can possibly do what you want, but not for the printed page - at least not easily, and with the ultimate results. First, Video is not dependent on DPI/LPI (Dots Per Inch, or Lines Per Inch), where printed material will be. Also, while PrE can output a Still Image, the quality, when printed, will be far less, than what one can obtain with PsE.
    Do you currently have Photoshop Elements on your computer, or only Premiere Elements?
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why are Mail and Firefox swapping places when the computer wakes, and how can I make them stop?

    If I put my MacBook Air to sleep with Firefox as the top application, when I wake the computer, Mail will jump to the top. If Mail is on top when the computer sleeps, when I wake the computer, Firefox will leap to the top.
    This has only happened for the last week or two; the two aps have otherwise coexisted peacefully for the last couple years.
    Does anyone know what's happening and how to make it stop?
    Thanks,

  • My deleted gmails keep coming into my iPad, how can I make them stop?

    I have 4400 emails that are plaguing me from my gmail acct. this is my first iPad and I am not a computer person. Can someone tell me in simple terms how to get this to stop? Gmail isn't giving me an option to delete emails after a day or so.
    Thanks in advance for your help! 

    in fact, a different apple id, if you intend to use both devices with the same account, is a terrible idea.  just get a new e mail address, and add it as your recieve at setting as james has suggested.
