How to fill 8.5 x 11 sheet when printing PDF in Print View Mode

I need to print portions of a PDF file (converted from a 24 x 36 drawing sheet file) so that it prints on a 8.5 x  11 sheet of paper to some architectural scale (i.e. 1/8" = 1 foot). On the old (4:3) LCD monitor this was not a problem...I would select a zoom scale to fill the sheet as much as possible and print in landscape orientation, and that would fill the sheet with a printed portion of a drawing to a scale as large as possible and still be readable ( I am trying to get as much of the 24 x 36 original on one 8.5 x 11 as possible).
However with my new laptop and its widescreen (16:9) display, doing this leaves a substantial amount of sheet blank, and I am forced to do a work-around by connecting the old monitor to the laptop.
Is there a solution to this?

You don't select a page size when exporting to PDF, but you can add the crop marks in the export dialog.
Acrobat and Reader will both automatically center the PDF when it is printed, but it's up to the print shop what size paper they use. Make sure they don't scale the print to fit the sheet.

  • How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?

    How can I retain hyperlinks while saving a webpage as PDF via Print?
    This is the title of an apple forum question, and it is a bug in both Safari 5.1.3 and under, and I find it to also occur in Firefox browser (at least 9.* 10.*, 11.0), running on Lion OS (10.7.2, 10.7.3). See:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212301?start=0&tstart=0
    Under the newer Mac OS mentioned, and Firefox 10.2, 11.0, 9.*, if I select:
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Open PDF in Preview"
    (and view / save the PDF in Preview, you will see none of the links in the original web page are active
    or using
    File -> Print -> PDF -> Save as PDF...
    same problem. Try this using any Wikipedia page, for example.
    When this problem was posed in Apple forums, by a user of the Safari browser, it was found to be a bug (since Aug 2011) fixed in a Safari browser build 5.1.4 circa Jan 2012. I tried the newer Safari browser and sure enough the problem went away (except that links embedded in the PDF no longer appeared as blue text - ARGH - but "hover over" with the cursor showed the link and clicking the link in Preview viewer activated the link in a browser window).
    So I post this to the Mozilla community, please fix this 'cause I don't want to have to switch over to Safari browser every time I want to archive a PDF with active links!!!!
    P.S. I did a spot-check and with the newer add-on Enjoy Reading 1.0.1 and FF11.0. When the Enjoy reading formatted version appears in the browser window, all URLs/links are preserved and highlighted in blue, but when I print that browser window as PDF, the links are dead (don't work) even though they appear in blue in the PDF.
    So, what's going on, can the Safari fix be researched and applied to FF?
    Also, on some forums, people are responding, Well, try installing Acrobat reader. Well, I don't want to, Preview reader has worked fine for me for years.

    Thanks jscher2000.
    RE: -- '''Generally speaking, PDF converters that work by intercepting a print job do not have access to the URLs behind links in the page.''' --
    I cannot say I agree. I could email you a PDF clipping or two (generated from Safari on Mac OS, in its native capability with no add-ons) that shows you otherwise. When I used PC platforms I did have to install PDF converters (tried both free and expensive ones) that did what I describe.
    I cannot try the add-on you mention, '''Print Pages to Pdf.''' in Firefox. It shows in my browser and Mac OS platform "Not available for your platform." So I am guessing it was written for the PC version of Firefox.
    The Mac OS has had a native PDF-creation functionality for as many years as I have been using it; I used PC prior to that, Win3.1 through XP and NT. And on my PC, I bought (and at work, my employer bought $$$, I had to justify three levels up to management the ability to create PDFs on my work PC) some Adobe functionality to CREATE pdf's (readin's free and easy, makin' em's costly on the PC).
    I've gone and dug through some of my (Mac) doc and clipping archives, and I find that stuff I created after about Dec 2008 or so seems to eliminate all link functionality. When viewed in the Apple native "Preview" application (sort of Apple's equivalent to Adobe Acrobat reader, ships with the OS): link tags are highlighted/tinted, clicking a link opens a (default) browser and takes you there; hover-over the tag text shows the actual link. (Of course, not all old links are still VALID or point to the desired source.)
    I could, in Safari or FF browser window and with no add-ons or Adobe paid products whatsoever, use the native OS method to create PDF's from any application (word processor, spreadsheet, browser, etc) via the menu File -> Print -> Save as PDF menu and create a PDF that had active hyperlinks. In Apple OS Lion 10.7.3, I still can't when it uses this broken WebKit interface, links are "dead" as a doornail until a fix is distributed in WebKit for a future Lion release. It seems this functionality died at least as far back as Leopard OS 10.6.8, but don't quote me on that. Also, my version of Pages 2009 version 4.1(923) (sorta like Word) STILL creates a PDF document that preserves (1) text hyper-links within the document, and (2) web links (in the PDF) that open the browser. I just made a test document.
    When all you can see in the PDF is the tag text, there is nothing to copy-paste to follow any link. Also, hypertext links are often used by authors to create links to other points in a document: now even *that* is broken in the PDF version of the documents I retrieve from the web and print from FireFox (Broken in Safari 5.1.3 and earlier but fixed in 5.1.4).
    Try this on the PC, in your browser and print a news clipping as PDF, do the links in the PDF work? What products do this, and what don't? I would bet the machine with a full Adobe suite this will work flawlessly. (Why should a PC user have to pay hundreds of $ to create this functionality in what I thought was an open standard (PDF)? But that's talkin' religion, let's not start that.)
    Some folks might say,
    go online and find the original source doc in your browser. Or,
    go and add those links manually using the Preview edit add-link capability (hunh? no thanks) , or
    save each item worth saving as an HTML archive instead of a PDF (argh, creating a whole directory in the process, I might add, including ads). Or,
    who needs PDFs, everything is online.
    Or, buy some Adobe product.
    I think they miss my point. This is a real strange dumbing-down of archival PDF documents, or at least a destruction of the ability to use PDF as an archive that retains its links and references.
    C.F. the guy who has archives of scientific papers, and the old material all cross-references nicely but after date X there are no working links.

  • How to fill the tables faglflexa and faglflext when creating a new document

    Hello all,
    I need to modify the field faglflexa-RMVCT when creating a new FI document , actually i'm using the transaction ABUMN,
    i tried to use manu user-exit to change this table unfortunately , I have not changed this entry .
    Could you please help me to find a solution for this problem?
    Thank you in advance,

    When you are defining the elements of the datatype there are columns where you can do what you need:
    <b>column type</b>: here you choose the type of data of the element
    it can be a standard type or a user defined one (if you click one time only it should appear an icon in the right for input help: click there and choose the type you need)
    <b>column occurence </b>: in a similar way of column type here you define the cardinality of the element (min occurence and max occurence)
    setting min occurrence: 1, max occurrence 1 or unbounded --> required
            mmin occurrence 0, max occurrence 0, 1 or unbounded --> optional
    about the attributes there are directly the choice between required or optional.
    <b> column details </b>: here you define the length of the  element if it is a string or a lot of other things if the type is a different one.
    I hope this will help you

  • How can I recover music from my ipod when its in 'need to restore' mode?

    basically, my friends ipod is a old ipod classic and has about 7,000 songs on it and most of them are backed up in the ipod hard drive (like going to the ipod on my computer and organising the files there)
    about 2 weeks ago certain songs would crash and the ipod wouls have to be restarted by holding menu + pause then not listen to that song, after a while of this it makes a loud clicking noise whenever it was turned on and all i see is the apple logo for about 5 minutes then it comes up with 'connect to itunes to restore',
    once i manage to connect it to a laptop (it has always been annoying to connect) i restarts itself a couple of times, then shows ' connect to power screen ' and at this point the laptop hasnt recognised the ipod yet on itunes and my computer after reconnecting it a few times it will connect and start charging, itunes says that the ipod needs restoring and i cannot open it in my computer as it says i need to insert a disc and also the ipod screen doesnt have the red 'do not disconnect' symbol the screen is black and white and the symbols are a bit smaller and it looks like a disc mode or something? sorry i do not know what to refer to it as
    the problem is i need to restore my ipod to help fix it and access my thousnads of files as many of the songs i could not find again, but i cannot get into any of files anyway
    i was wondering if there are any ways i will be able to recover my files before i restore it as i have tried some recovery programs but my ipod never shows up on them but if a restore and update was necessary to recover files
    by the way my friend borrows my laptop to put music on her ipod which she then deletes from my files afterwards and the ipod has been switched through different computers which the songs have been deleted from anyway
    any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you!!!!!

  • How to read the data in excel sheet

    Hi, 
    I would recommend you to have a look at the VI attached. It makes use of a VI named 'Read from Spreadsheet' to read the row and column data from the tab delimited excel file. The read data is then searched for the Alphabet specified and finally returns you the corresponding string. The test file used to validate the operation of the VI is also attached. 
    Trust this would help you solve the issue.

  • My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless printer prints to only 4x5" on 8x11 sheet when printing mult pages

    My Officejet Pro 8000 wireless prints to only 4x5 inches on the 8x11 sheet when I try to print multiple pages per sheet from an Adobe file.  The print preview shows the paper dimensions to be 8x11, and the four Adobe pages are properly scaled to fill the 8x11 printed sheet, yet when printing, all the printing is condensed to the upper left quarter of the sheet.

  • How to create a hyperlink when exporting .pdf?

    Hi guys,
    I've been doing quite a bit of research on how to make an object into a hyperlink when exporting my .ai as .pdf.
    So far I've come across guides that show the method of using Object > Slice and the Attributes' Image Map, but none of them seem to work when I open my exported .pdf.
    How do you guys create objects with links when exporting .pdf?
    Thanks in advance.

    InDesign, most probably.
    Or create the PDF in Illustrator and use Acrobat (Pro) afterwards to make links.
    Depends on what's inside the document.

  • How can I freeze (lock) my Spread Sheet layout in Numbers?

    How can I freeze (lock) my Spread Sheet layout in Numbers?
    I have problems with Numbers changing my Spread Sheet layout
    by adding extra Rows while I am not looking, or while I engage in dragging its pages with the mouse to see info on adjacent pages.
    The layout I use consists of a Spread Sheet containing 4 "print" pages, ea.  8.5" x 11" wide, with a total of 36 Rows and 28 Columns. 
    The SS is filled with new cell values daily, but the formulas stay mostly the same. The print pages are visible on the computer screen side by side, and each Row extends over these 4 pages.
    It happens sometimes that I have to change a formula while making entries on a cell in "page 4", and then need to "accept"
    the new entry and formula "aaalll" the way on the very left of "page 1".  So here I try to scroll left or drag the present view
    with the mouse.  I also have to use the "Zoom" at 150 % because I cannot see well on my MacBook Air, everything is rather small.
    I suspect that during dragging with the mouse I drag cells or rows without knowing, and that this will add extra Rows derailing some formulas or values because a cell is suddenly in a different Row.
    It is difficult to find which Row was added and what values where thus changed.  One just sees 38 rows instead of the orihinal 36!  The only way is to move all the cell values out of rows 37 and 38, and find where theey used to be on the previous day's saved locked sheet.   Needless to say that when that happens twice in a days work, it means a lot of lost time.
    I have checked the Numbers Manual and searched Help Info for ways to lock an established cell layout and could noy find anything.
    I cannot believe it, maybe I missed something.  I worked for about 35 years with Clarisworks and Appleworks Spread Sheets and never had the same problem, layouts were locked by design, and could only be changed by special procedures.
    Now is there a way to freeze or lock the basic layout of a spread sheet in Numbers? 
    I appreciate your help.   (Numbers 2.3, Mac OS 10.8.5. MacBook Air)

    Hi Numbers22,
    I guess I was just beating around the bush to avoid simply saying, "No, you cannot lock the layout." So there it is.
    I am not sure why you are scrolling  to "accept" a formula. That is unclear. I guess you building a new formula and need to use a cell from an early column. It is also unclear to me as ot how you are actually adding extra rows. I haven't been able to do it on my machine without clicking the little arrow in the row number or using Option-↑ (or -↓). Option-↑  would add a row above the row you are in if they somehow got pressed. Do you have a program running that could be interpreting something your are doing for those keystrokes? If I was standing at your shoulder I might be able to see what is doing it.
    What I am suggesting is that you play around with your trackpad settings so that you are not selecting and tapping in your table while you attempt to scroll. I do have one sheet with two tables side by side with a total of 425 columns and I can scroll past them without modifying them. So perhaps turning off tap to click in system preferences will help. If you have an option to decrease trackpad sensitivity then try that (I don't, but I remember having it somewhere in the past). If you are using a mouse see what you can do to decrease the sensitivity for a click. If your computer is old it could be that the trackpad is wearing out and throwing random clicks. You might try using another input device if you have one.

  • How to copy different cells from one sheet to another (automatically)

    Dear community,
    My question is:
    I have a sheet A which contains in a row f.e.
    - date
    - account name
    - amount
    I want to find all rows in A with the account name xy and copy each of this rows to another sheet B.
    in A (automatically):
    1.12.2008 account2 $100,00
    2.12.2008 account9 $200,00
    5.12.2008 account2 $210,00
    7.12.2009 account3 $190,00

    1.12.2008 account2 $100,00
    5.12.2008 account2 $210,00
    Sheet A is filled/changed manually by user, Sheet B shout "follow" automatically.
    How can I realize this?
    Thank you for ideas

    In Tableau 1
    column D uses the formula:
    =IF(B=Tableau 2 :: $A$1,ROW(),99999)
    In Tableau 2
    Cell A1 contains the keyword used to select rows
    In column A the formula is:
    =IF(SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)>ROWS(Tableau 1 :: C),"",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,0))
    In column B the formula is:
    =IF(SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)>ROWS(Tableau 1 :: C),"",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,2))
    In fact if you read carefully, it's quite the same than the one in column A.
    This is why I used it.
    But you may prefer this simpler one:
    =IF(A="","",OFFSET(Tableau 1 :: $A$1,SMALL(Tableau 1 :: D,ROW()-1)-1,2))

  • How can I move or copy a sheet to a different folder?

    How can I move or copy a sheet to a different folder? Can a sheet created in Folder A be moved or copied to Folder B?

    Hi Barry,
    http://www.phespirit.info/montypython/four_yorkshiremen.htm
    As a parody of that Monty Python skit:
    I had an original Apple that I had to plug into a television screen as a monitor. Programs had to be written in BASIC, but I could plot a graph long before MS got out of DOS and function keys. Then I had a Mac Plus with a single floppy disc drive that had me playing "toaster" to swap discs. Then a Mac SE - MacDraw, MacPaint, Hypercard, Word-for-Mac. Luxury! Then a Mac Classic (black and white display, but I swear I could see colours in the fill patterns). Then (sigh) forced to MS by my employer. Finally, my very own MacBook.
    Luxury!
