HOW DO I PRINT AN 11X17 DOCUMENT AS AN 11X17 PDF?

Hello -- I have a drawing in MicroSofft Visio that was created with a page size of 11"x17". When I preview that drawing, it looks exactly like what I want -- a landscape image on 11x17 virtual paper, with 1/4 inch margins on all sides. However, when I use Adobe Acrobat to print to a PDF, it automatically creates a letter-sized image from the Visio file. The resultinf PDF file has wasted space, because the image is resized to fit a smaller printable area, and it is not ready to send to a printer capable of printing on 11x17 paper. I would like to use Acrobat to print this Visio file to a virtual (PDF) 11x17 page, and then I would like Acrobat Reader to print that PDF on real 11x17 paper (using an appropriate printer and paper). How do I do that?
Also -- I do not want to print a letter-sized copy and get that enlarged, because it will lose resolution. There is a lot of important fine print. Likewise, I do not want to tile several pages to make up the proper image, because that is added work and because the edges will have some distortion that I will have to align carefully and because the result will not be a single large page that I can take into a meeting.
I am using MS Visio Professional 2002 (with SP-2), Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended 9.4.5, and MS Windows Vista Home Premium.
Thanks very much for your help -- CPI-John

Drew --
Thnaks for your rteply, but that does not seem to have worked -- at least
not for me.
If you can open a Visio file (I have MS Visio Professional 2002 with SP-2),
then please see the attached 2 files, which I put together to try to get
17x11 pages to print. You can see that the Visio dummy is right at 11x17,
but the PDF is distorted. Those are in Portrait (which I can rotate to get
Landscape, even though it would be distorted relative to the Visio
original). When I tried it in Landscape, the image was in landscape, but
the page was in portrait, with about 1/2 of the image missing (because it
extended beyond that page). It is as if Acrobat is saying that pages this
large must be in portrait and will be resized to fit some requirement.
Anyway, that is the best that I have been able to do so far.

And what exactly? How did you scan? What "document"? What system? You need to be a lot more specific, especially since it is absolutely not clear what Adobe software has to do with it.

How do I print a Numbers document? All I get is the heading!

How do I print a Numbers document on my Mac? All I get is the heading!

Hi L,
What do you see after Menu > File > Print?
Are you using Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3.1?
Please reply with a screen shot of a small part of your screen (large shots are often difficult to read).
To take a screen shot,
1. hold down the shift and command keys, then type 4. The cursor will change to crosshairs. Release the shift and command keys.
2. Drag over that part of your screen then release the mouse/trackpad. A screen shot will appear on your desktop.
3. In a reply to a message, click on the camera icon in the Toolbar above your reply and
4. Choose File > Choose > Insert Image.
If this does not work, Close the Insert Box (red cross on the top right) and go back to Step 3. Camera icon sometimes needs a wake-up call, but works the second time.
Remove any personal details before taking the screen shot.
Regards,
Ian.

How to automatically printed Posted FI documents

Any idea about how to automatically print SAP FI documents as soon as they are posted?
Regards

Hi
As such there is no such standard feature but what you can do is to get the small ABAP code written , which will activate on the saving of the document. Please note this may slow down the process.
Alternate, There is option of executing report S_ALR_87012287 at line item level which can be taken on daily or weekly basis .

How can i print a translated document but keep EN text at it's cropmark info??

how can i print a translated document but keep EN text at it's cropmark info??

If you just want this for printing, one thing you can easily do is crop all of the pages to remove the margins. For example, you can rop 2" off the left and right sides, and 1.5" off the top and bottom. Then print using a Page Scaling of "Fit to Printable Area".
To crop in Acrobat 9, select: Document > Crop Pages
be sure to select All for the Page Range.

How to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

how to scan both sides of document in color to pdf with the dr-m160?

Hi healthynhappy1.
To scan a 2-sided document, you will need to change the scanner settings in the software.
If you are using Capture On Touch:
You will need to turn off the "Scan in Full Auto" option.
Next, you will open [Scanner Settings] and change the "Scanning Side" to Duplex.
Verify that the [Color Mode] shows "24-bit Color" and when you get the option to save the file, verify the [File Type] shows as "PDF".
If you are using CapturePerfect:
Click [Scan].
Click [Scanner Settings].
Change the [Scan Side] to "Duplex".
Verify that [Color Mode] is set for "Color" and then save the file as "PDF".
I hope that this information is helpful to you. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666). Have a great day!

How to take print of attached document in PO

Hi,
In ME21N or ME22N, by clicking on "Services for Object" button on the extreme left side of the screen. We can attach any document (This is just below the transaction bar)
I want to know how we can take the print of attached document with the PO itself.
If anybody is having idea about this please share.
My main issue is here user is having 2/3 page word document with each PO that he has to send to vendor.
Everytime he has to write all the things in PO. So i had suggested to attach the file itself but now issue is of print.
If you are having any other option please tell.
Regards,
Umesh Agrawal

Dear,
Since for each purchase order you are creating, a 2, 3 page text has to be attached in attachments.
It is not possible to print purchase order and attachments at the same time. This must be 2 step process, first to print purchase order and next to attachments.
For your situation, try to make purchase order and in item text window, simply copy and paste your 2,3 pages word note to the last line item of purchase order.
For ex. if you have 6 line items in PO, select the last line item and go to Texts in item details and copy paste you word contents.
For seperation of line items and text to vendor you can include some special character indication like below:
SPECIAL NOTES / DIRECTIONS / VENDOR INSTRUCTIONS
This will reduce your routine work of printing PO and attachments seperately. If you do like above, you will get the print of the Purchase order together with text at a time. I tried this.
Regards,
Syed Hussain.

How to to print an .indd document with a border around the edge?

I have an Indesign document that I want to print with a slight border around the edge.
I print this after exporting it as a PDF. But when I choose the various combinations of 'print printer's marks' in the export settings, none of them seem to work.
I want just a simple thin border line around the edge of the document to print. I don't want the interior body to print (which it sometimes does).
I know this can be done, because on some of my .indd documents it works... but I can't figure out what I did to get it to print that way.
HELP!
and thanks....
jn

Thanks... the visible guides setting change took away the purple interior rectangle.
But it still doesn't print the border outline.
Here in text form is a summary of the .indd file settings that does print a border correctly, as I like it to.
The relevant paragraph under Marks and Bleed has crop marks off... and document bleed settings on.
I wonder what I'm missing? Sometimes I wished Adobe just used plain english... like 'print border outline of document'!
Thanks!
