How do you edit a document before printing from a mac

I am having problems when trying to print a document from the web on my mac.  It is having weird breaks at the end of the page.  I do i bump lines down to the next page or  adjust the font size to fit more on one page?

You can try saving as a PDF first before printing.
You can edit the PDF say in PDFpen.

  • How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

    The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different.  You need to get the apps in sync.  Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating).  Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

  • How can you edit a previously burned DVD from an older iMovie app?

    I converted VHS home movies to DVD years ago on the origonal iMovie app.  How can I edit those DVD's now?  Do I need a third party app to convert the DVD files for use in the new iMovie?

    Yes, you need to 'reverse engineer' the highly compressed mpeg2 format of the DVDs.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do you control layouts of label printing from address book / contacts

    Has anyone found a smart way or some smart software to help me with this ?
    I want to select  a subset of my contacts in address book and give the group a name, like "Xmas cards". As I add new contacts I want to occasionally add some of them to this sub group.
    Then at Xmas I want to print off the postal addresses of the contacts in this sub group onto standard Avery labels to use on my Xmas card envelopes.
    I know there is a way of printing from address book to labels, but I don't seem to have any control on the label font, font size or layout.
    Ideally I would like to use a currently unused field in address book to store the way I would like the first line of the contact to print such as " Mr and Mrs Smith" or "John Smith and Jane Doe" - which may be different from the way record the  "name" field. So I need flexibility of choosing which fields to print in which order on the labels
    Does anyone else do something like this and how? Do you use some third party software to help manage it?

  • How do you move Compressor 3.05 settings from one Mac to another?

    How do you move settings from one Mac to another?
    I have Compressor 3.05 installed on two Intel Macs: a MacPro tower and a MacBook Aluminum. I created a new setting on the MacBook, and can see it in Library -> App Support -> Compressor as "<name>.setting" Then I moved to the Mac Pro for speed and created a few more settings. I copied these settings from the Mac Pro libary and put them in the MacBook library; restarted Compressor on the MacBook but still cannot see those presets from within Compressor. I hate to re-create all those settings, but I do move between both computers depending on what I am doing.
    What am I missing? Thanks.

    To copy single settings.
    1. Drag & Drop your setting from the Compressor Settings window to i.e. the desktop
    2. Copy .setting file to an other Mac
    3. Drag & Drop the .setting file(s) over to the Settings window in Compressor
    To copy settings groups (folders)
    1. Go to */Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/Compressor*
    2. Copy the settings group folder you want to your i.e. the desktop
    3. Make sure Compressor is not open on the other Mac
    4. Copy the settings group folder to the same location on the other Mac
    5. Open Compressor
    Hope this helps

  • How do you add a manufacturer's print driver to Mac OS 10.6?

    I am trying to add a Lanier MP C5502 to the lone Mac here on campus.  The driver provided by Mac OS 10.6 does not include the valid access code which is a required field for this network printer.  When I download the driver from the Lanier site, how do I get the Mac to see it as a driver?  Thank you!

    System Preferences/Printer & Scanners - click the + sign and add the printer. This should cause the driver to be recognized.

  • How do you keep embedded documents during conversion from Word 2007 to PDF?

    Windows 7, with all available patches.
    Word 2007, with all available patches.
    Acrobat reader 9.3.2
    I have additional documents, spreadsheets etc embedded into a Microsoft Office Word document. When this document is converted to the PDF (using the Word PDF add-in interface) the embedded objects can no longer be opened and only appear as images. 
    Is there a way to retain the embedded document during the conversion so that they can be opened from within the resulting PDF?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks very much for your repsonse, it's much appreciated
    I don't have Acrobat X installed at this time so am not able to create or edit PDFs (other than from Word).  I understand that creating a PDF from Word may not be an Acobat issue per se, but thought that someone on this forum may have experienced a similar problem, hence thought I'd try my luck here
    I will do as you suggest and try an MS forum
    Thanks again

  • How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

    Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
    I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
    Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
    AppleScript
    --- copy below this line ---
    property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
    if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
         display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
         return quit
    end if
    tell application "Pages"
        tell body text of front document
            set wordCnt to count words
            -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
            set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
        end tell
    end tell
    on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
         tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
         return appNameIsRunning
    end ApplicationIsRunning

  • I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto.  You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone.  How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

    I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto.  You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone.  How do you turn your document into a jpeg now?

    If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
    Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

  • How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

    Have the scanner connected to the computer.
    Have the scanner software installed.
    Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
    Have Acrobat XI installed.
    While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
    So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
    Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
    An alternative --
    Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
    Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
    Be well...

    Yes I do have a smiley face and I've clicked on it and opened a window with lots of things in it, incuding Documents.
    I've opened Documents and in it I can see the title I want to rename. When I click on it, it highlights, but I can't see where to go to change its name. If I double click it opens.
