How to NOT shrink on nUp pageHandling

Hi,
I have a PDF with 2 A5 pages. I want to print these on 1 A4 page 2-up. Below is the javascript -
var pp = this.getPrintParams();
pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent;
pp.firstPage = 0;
pp.lastPage = 1;
pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.nUp;
pp.nUpPageOrders = pp.constants.nUpPageOrders.Vertical;
pp.nUpNumPagesV = 2;
pp.nUpNumPagesH = 1;
this.print(pp);
Problem is the A5s on the A4 are shrunk.
Could someone please help how to not shrink while using nUp pageHandling.
Thanks in advance

You are making the printing process a bit difficult. You can simply go the the Adobe PDF printer properties and select to print 2-up. In Acrobat, there is an additional item in the print menu, but that shrinks the pages a bit further than using the 2-up process. Unfortunately, the 2-up process appears to put a border around the pages, though that is easy to remove with the object touchup tool. There is a slight reduction in size, but not bad. I know of no other way to do it with Acrobat. I did try one thing that might work for you. I printed with 2-up (under the printer properties) and also when into the advanced menu on the first tab and selected scaling to be 102%. That just about did the job of using the full size. The main thing that may happen there is that you will drop off some info at the sides if your original goes all the way to the edge of the A4 sheet.
Just as a relative figure of merit, I made measurements on the screen for the 2-up versions. The one on the print menu put 0.75 cm on each side, .35 cm between, with 17.7 cm wide print areas. The one in the properties menu gave 0.2 cm on each side, 0.4 cm between and 18.2 cm print areas. My measurements appear to differ by 5mm total, but that gives you a rough idea. The 2-up from the properties screen sized things the best, but I had to deal with the border in that case. With the print menu option you have a choice about the borders -- could not find an option for the properties menu selection. A scale of 102 % should be about right to use the full width, but you will likely lose a bit of the info in that 0.2 cm portion about your print. The print menu option scaling did not seem to work, but seems to autoscale.
I think this is about as close as you will come with Acrobat. If you have clear space around the outer edge of your document, then this 2-up property with scaling should do the job. I am not sure what scaling would work best for A4 to A5, I was using letter to letter. Guess you will have to play around a bit. If you have a lot, the border is going to be a pain.

  • How to auto shrink text in keynote 6.1

    Just updated to keynote 6.1. Does anyone know how to auto-shrink the text???

    I believe the auto-shrinking text only works in text placeholders not text boxes or text in shapes, which was also true in Keynote 5.3.  When you select a text placeholder, click on the Text tab in the Format panel and then click the Layout button.  You will see a "Shrink text to fit" checkbox.  Hope that helps.

  • How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it??? At the moment, if I view them on my laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part.

    How can you shrink the size of an upright picture to make it smaller without losing any of the detail in it (in Slideshow)??? At the moment, if I view them on my Mac Laptop, landscape photos fill the screen, but portrait photos only show the middle part, so I loose the top and bottom of the picture.  Have tried cropping, but that means I lose top and bottom part of the picture, so that is not the answer!!

    Homestly haven't a clue what's going on there. 
    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    My LR previews data file has just gone over 50GB, how can I shrink it as I really need the space on my laptop?

    Or if you don't want to delete all of it, you can just discard 1:1 previews using Library->Previews menu - that may or may not buy you the space you need.
    If you do opt for deleting the whole thing, here is an idea to keep it from going back to 50G: change the size/quality of standard previews and/or the policy for auto-removing 1:1 previews (Lr Preferences -> Catalog Settings -> File Handling).

  • OA Framework page (custom) does not shrink to mobile device screen size.

    Hi,
    OA Framework page (custom page) using IE6 had application disconnection problem.
    So using IE6.1 beta/IE6.5 for OA Framework page (custom page) does not shrink/fit to the mobile device screen size. Means user have to scroll to the right/bottom every time. IE is set as a Mobile device (and not the desktop).
    We have tried using following Meta Tag (with different content values) to inform the browser that this is a mobile device. But this has not worked.
    pageContext.putMetaTag("MOBILEOPTIMIZED","<META name=\"MobileOptimized\" content=\"176\">");
    How we can fix this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    Apps Schema has all synonyms for almost all the objects in other schema if you will not specify any schema name the it will synonyms created in apps. For not using mention like this shema_name.object_name then it will fetch data from mentioned schema.

  • How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?

    How to not display nodes in a tree if Oracle roles are NOT used?
    We don't use Oracle DB roles to grant users access to Forms from the menu. We use a template and role system of our own. Basically a few tables with templates and roles.
    We want to convert our normal Forms menu to a tree menu and one of our key requirements is that when the tree is populated ONLY nodes with programs (i.e. forms) he has been granted to execute is shown.
    Since we don't use Oracle Roles how to do this in a tree?
    I created a function to show/hide LEAF nodes, BUT problem is that there are sub-menu nodes showing even if the leaf-nodes under it has not being displayed. My function has suppressed it.
    My tree query is like this:
    SELECT
         t.status, LEVEL, t.label, t.icon, t.node VALUE
    FROM
         tma_tree_menu t
    WHERE
    tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role(USER, t.node) = 1
    CONNECT BY
         PRIOR t.node = t.master
    START WITH
         t.MASTER IS NULL
    ORDER SIBLINGS BY
    t.position
    The tma_authenticate_sys_chk_role will return 1 only if the user has access to the form under that node.
    I tried the FTree functions in Forms but even that has nothing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Would you share the source code? I guess what I need is how exactly you retreive the user credentials from the DB table and set that boolean variable.
    and then how to condition it in UIX?

    How do I shrink a photo in Iphoto to fit a standard 8X10 page?  I tried to follow Old Toad's advice to right-click the image on the Customize screen, but absolutely nothing happened.

    You must think I'm an idiot, Larry, because you have been incredibly precise about your instructions.  However, as I keep saying, when I get to the "customize" screen, and I right-click the preview image, absolutely nothing happens.  I don't know what is wrong, but I can understand why you would give up on me. I simply CANNOT get the option "fit to frame."  Thank you so much for trying.  I think I had better give up.

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.
