How do I print actual size?

I am trying to print a CD jewel case image. Every time I make sure under page setup it says "scale = 100%", but it prints this monstrosity that is way too large. This occurs if I print it within the gimp or the eog image viewer.
What do I have to do? This is so annoying.

Sorry, I didn't mean for you to import the image into some other tool to make a document then a pdf - I mean't just print to pdf from gimp.  This would allow you to see exactly what would be printed, and I assume it'd be too large.
This would be because of the size meta-data which is what I first asked about and was trying to get at - alphaniner has shown exactly this.

  • How do I print a complete document in PRINT ACTUAL SIZE setting?

    When I select PRINT ACTUAL SIZE for a document spanning 3 A4 pages it only selects, displays and prints ONE A4 page...see screenshot below

    I don't see the screen shot. Screenshots can only be uploaded when you are using the forum version here and not via email.
    It's also helpful to supply your version of Adobe Reader, OS, and any other info that might be important.

    The app store size is probably just the software, while the size on your iPhone includes data.
    You can determine the size on your iPhone by looking at Settings > General > Usage.

  • Cannot print actual size when choosing several pages per paper

    I'm using Adobe Reader XI and trying to print a pdf (exported from InDesign)´where each page is in A5 format. I want to print two A5 pages for each A4 paper. However, when I click the button Several (or similar, I'm using Swedish version) there is a fixed 25 mm margin around each A5 page so that the pages are much reduced on the printout. I'd like to print actual size, and I think this was possible in a previous version. If I print one A5 per A4 paper I can print the actual size. I tried the button Print Format (equiv.) but the margins are fixed and cannot be changed. Awkward. Thanks for help or explanation why this is so.

    I have a little more information. I turned on "single hairline" border and as you can see, it's converting my square pages into "US Letter" pages BEFORE applying them two-to-a-page. So it's using my selection of "Paper Size" as both the source and destination paper size, rather than just the destination size, because my source is obviously 12x12 square (confirmed by looking at page properties in preview). Apple, please fix this

  • Printing actual size on custom size paper on OSX 10.9

    Hi,
    I just updated my computer to OSX Maverick and I have problem when printing actual size document on a custom page size in Acrobat X.
    I want to print a 5.5" x 8.5" document on a 12" x 24" paper sheet size. I want my document to be centred in the paper at is actual size. When I select the paper size in the Page Setup... and the "Actual size" option, I have the right preview but once it is printed, the document is Fit to page.
    I have updated my printer driver and I am able to print my document correctly if I open it in Preview.
    I also have the same problem when printing in Acrobat on other printers.
    Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the exact same problem, please let me know if you come across a solution for this and i will do same for you.
    My PDF"s print to the correct size when printing using preview, so this is my temporary work around.

  • How do you print a size 2 font document on a 4 X 6 index card?

    How do you print a size 2 font document on a 4 X 6 index card?

    Some printers have a print odd or even numbered pages setting. See if yours does. Do a ⌘ + P and select 'paper handling from the pull down menu to see if your printer has this feature.

  • How to print actual size in CS3

    Hi I am interested to print my figure which is fully scaled to millimeters units. When I open my figure in photoshop it looks perfectly scaled. but when I sent this figure to print, first I uncheck SCale to Fit Media and scale to 100% so that no further scaling will be done... Now when I send this to print , it gives me very small size.
    Scaling is critical in my case as I MUST have to print what is the actual scale.. Even decimals in millimeters cause error to me..How can I do this help me please
    Please please please help me
    Thanks

    It was the 3rd "please" that pushed me over the edge.    Just kidding.
    How far off from proper size is your print coming out (actual measurements vs. expected)?
    Are there any settings in the printer driver itself (available through the [Print Settings...] button) such as "borderless print" or other scaling options that have inadvertently been set?
    Are the values for Height and Width exactly what you expect, considering the type of unit (e.g., cm or mm) displayed in the Units field?  For me, an image listed as 4.75 x 5 with Units: inches prints exactly at that size.
    What kind of printer is it?  Are any updates available for the driver from the manufacturer (e.g., on their web site)?

  • Can't choose what part of image to print when printing actual size.

    I have a pdf file that needs to be printed out to actual size, since the image is a temlate for a part that I need to cut out. Since the actual size is bigger than the paper size, it shows a purple box in the preview box, indicating what part of the document it's going to print. The first time I printed the image, it let me slide the box or the slider below, left to right to select what part of the document on wanted on the paper. But, now it's just locked in place. I'm not sure what changed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, Adobe Reader XI. Printer is a Canon MP495.

    Francine, thank you so much for the tips. It took me over two months but I finally got around to trying to take care of this.
    I tried your suggestions in order. Steps 1-3 did not fix the problem, but reinstalling from Pacifist did (thank goodness!). Wish I had tried that from the get-go.
    Thanks again to everyone for all the suggestions.
    There are a couple of things to try:
    1. If you haven't done so lately, try Disk Utility
    and Repair Permissions. Won't hurt, it's quick and
    easy, and there is a remote possibility that it will
    help. It actually does occasionally fix something
    strange like this.
    2. Go to http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ and
    download the COMBO 10.4.8 updater (it is huge, like
    148MBs) and run it, then Repair Permissions again.
    3. Restart and hold down the Shift key when you hear
    the startup chime. This will force the computer to do
    a Safe boot. When you see the splash screen saying
    "Safe Mode" release the Shift key. The boot will take
    longer than normal as the system repairs the disk,
    empties font caches, and disables startup items. Not
    sure if Image Capture will run correctly with some
    Apple startup items disabled, but you can try it.
    Restart normally afterwards.
    4. You can download Pacifist here:
    http://www.charlessoft.com/
    It will extract things from your Install disk so you
    can install only what you need, in your case Image
    Capture.
    My Image Capture has never had a problem, so I'm
    afraid all I can recommend is these general
    approaches. Hope one of them helps.

  • How do I print actual scale?

    I have an image that is 9" x 13" I want to print it out at actual size using 2 sheets of 8.5" x 11". It's a template for a cake design. I can't figure out how to print the whole image on 2 sheets. I can print it so the whole image is shrunk to fit 8.5 x 11 or leave it to size, but it only will print one piece and cut off the oversized image.  I know on illustrator I could add 2 artboards to the screen and center the image that way. is there a wat on photoshop to either print it on 2 sheets at size, or add a second art board?

    Hi.
    Try this:
    Assuming your cake design is landscape.
    In the Ps print dialog, set aspect to Portrait.
    Un tic Center Image and Scale to Fit Media.
    Set Height to 9".
    Drag image in the preview box so the left side is showing. The right side should be off the preview. Print.
    Repeat, except drag the image to the right side and print it. The middle part will be printed twice, of course, but you can trim each one as needed.
    There are fancier ways, but this should do it.
    Peace,

  • How to crop & print specific sizes in Aperture

    I have a project I am working on where I need to make a series of prints that are flush-mounted onto boards that are 2.25"x5". I want to take images from my Aperture library, crop the long and skinny portion from them them, and print them out on my Inkjet printer (single prints on 4x6's on my Canon 6220 for tests, but I am going to want to print multiple-up prints on 5x7 paper once I get going as I need 10-20 copies of each print). I started by cropping (using the Custom feature) and then using a 4x6 preset in the printer dialog with the image size set to 2.25x5. I, of course, have run into the issue that the crop tool does not crop by inches, but rather pixels, and only in certain aspect ratios. I have tried making an export preset, as some suggested, but that only works if the image is the right size to begin with. By chance, some of my prints are exactly the right size, but mostly they are a bit short or wide...
    How do I make a template or crop guide so that I can crop-out the portion of my image that I want, keeping it in the correct aspect of 2.25x5, and then print it out at the exact size? And then how will I do this as a multiple print job on a single piece of 5x7 paper? Do I need to figure out how many pixels a 2.25x5 print will be? Can I set a custom aspect somehow? I know in PS there is the ability to set the "canvas Size" and work the image into that, but I don't have PS on this machine. I have Pages to work with as well, but no Illustrator or InDesign apps or skills. Ideas?
    Thanks!

    If you select Do not constrain or Custom in the crop tool you can set the crop to any aspect ratio you like. You can either drag the box or enter your dimensions in the tool. Note it won't take decimal points in the dimension boxes so in your case enter 500x225
    The crop tool only reports MP because inches would make no sense here. The image could be exported and printed at any size the crop tool only sets the aspect ration of the image.

  • CS5 not printing actual size

    I'm using CS5 Extended. I have a canvas size of 8.4x10.95 that I print on 8.5x11 portrait paper. The Scale to Fit Media checkbox is unchecked, and the Scale field is 100%. The printer dialog is set to borderless.
    When printed, the image seems to be enlarged by about 1/2 inch, cropping top and bottom.
    Need help!
    Thanks

    You may not be scaling in Photoshop, but with Epson printers, if you choose any Borderless paper size the Epson printer driver is going to enlarge the print job slightly to extend each side past the edges of the paper. The slight enlargement may not be noticeable when you're printing a photo that isn't tightly cropped, but it can be very obvious when you're printing a design with specific dimensions. Like the greeting card that's shown.
    You'll probably get what you want if you choose the non-borderless version of the paper size, which in this case seems to be US Letter.
    If you wanted to take a closer look at it, the Epson printer driver lets you customize how much it enlarges.  The screen shot I added shows the setting in OS X; I forget where it is in Windows. But as you can see, if you choose borderless you can't avoid scaling entirely. To achieve borderless printing it has to have some way to ensure that the image will be bigger than the paper.

  • Photoshop CS5 not printing actual size?

    I have created a document in photoshop sized 8.5x11, the same size as my printer paper, at 300dpi.  I am using the ruler guidelines onscreen to make an image 6 3/4" wide, but it is printing out too small at 6".
    Please note that I am not measuring onscreen by putting an actual ruler up against my screen, I am using the photoshop ruler (so I am sizing according to the 6 3/4" ruler in photoshop, even if it is 8" on my screen)
    In the print settings, I uncheck "scale to fit media" and "center image".
    What am I doing wrong?

    post a screen shot of your process.... it sounds right, but i bet we can catch something in your documentation of this process
    thanks

  • Printing Actual Size

    I bet this gets asked a lot.
    I have downloaded a PDF document which all 30 pages measure 67.26x47.68 in which is "HUGE"
    I would like to know if it is possible to do a multi page print out on A4 paper whilst keeping the same size as the actual document?
    I have an Epson Stylus photo R300 if that helps
    I need the scale to be totally precise as these are plans for a large scale model aircraft

    I have the same problem. I wish to seemlessly print a 45 cm X 45 cm (17.71" X 17.71") image (a board game template) onto several pages while retaining the correct board size and line-ups.
    It is frustrating that such an obvious option is not available. The multiple pages per sheet option is great, but AR9 needs an multiple sheets per image option as well.
    Sorry, I do not have a solution for you. Hopefully, Adobe will work on this soon.

  • IPhone apps used to appear in iPhone size on iPad.  Since updating to iOS7.0, these apps are HUGE and unreadable.  How can I display actual size in iOS 7.0?

    I realize this is a Mac forum, but I am sure there are iOS users here as well.  My problem is that apps made specifically for iPhone used to display in regular iPhone size on the iPad which was fine --- it was workable.  Since upgrading to iOS 7.0, these apps are HUGE, filling the entire iPad screen.  How does one revert to the non-magnified appearance?

    I tried:
    01. Rebooting PC
    02. Rebooting iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad 2, iPad 3
    03. Stoppng and restarting Apple Mobile Support service
    04. Deleting backup in iTunes
    05. Buying music and transferring purchases
    06. Transferring photos
    07. Buying app and transferring purchases
    08. Deleteing and reinstalling iTunes
    09. Backup to the iCloud (failed as well)
    10. WIFI sync
    11. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and reinstall from backup
    12. Return the iPod Touch to factory settings and install as new device
    ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WORKED !!!  I still cannot backup because iTunes cannot start a session.
    My devices are completely vulnerable to loss.
    I have spent hours searching the Internet trying to find a solution.
    I have concluded that the iTunes software or its driver are at fault.

  • How to create (print) Architectural size sheets in Adobe X?

    Prior to upgrading to Adobe X we used to have the ability to select Architectural paper sizes in Adobe PDF properties which allowed us to create/print to larger scale sizes.  W/ the new version of Adobe the paper standards tab is missing and we can only print to large PDF's from AutoCAD or if the files we have rec'd are already formatted in the larger scale size.  Is there some kind of update we need to do?  Help!! 
    Thanks

    It's a much better workflow to create a PDF from an authoring application like AutoCad than to create a PDF from existing PDF using the Adobe PDF Printer. You could loose a lot of valuable information in the file  -- like layers and hyperlinks, etc. Are you saying that you no longer see the Page Size option dropdown options?
