How to print 9x12" pdf from Acrobat on 11x17"?

This should be easy to do, but the dialog boxes in Acrobat won't let me print a 9x12" pdf centered vertically on 11x17" at 100% on our HP 9500 laser printer.
Instead I get an 8.5 x 11" sized printout, scaled down (9x12" doc scaled to fit 8.5x11" paper), in the bottom corner of the 11x17.
I've gone thru the obvious menus:
Page scaling = None
Paper handling / Destination paper size:
- Tried "Use documents paper size -8 1/2x11" (No choices here, document is actually 9x12)
- Currently at "Scale to fit paper" / "Tabloid"  (This is apparently the ONLY place Acrobat lets me choose paper size. I dont want to scale at all)
"Paper Feed" is tray 2- loaded with 11x17
Would appreciate some insight on what to try

When you go to print menu look toward the bottom: http://www.screencast.com/t/Uam4FxLNMJ52
then click on item I have arrow pointed to.
Then  you will see this: http://www.screencast.com/t/aHF7HxvXd
Yours may vary according to your printer.
Then setup size Paper.
if this is going to be a permanent setting for acrobat then when you open to: http://www.screencast.com/t/aHF7HxvXd and finish setting up at the to top where is say attributes click and hit  Make Default (save).
This tells printer when acrobat is openned that this is default setting. You no longer have to set this.
Or you can from the Printer Menu click on the printer menu button at bottom of screen click on button that shows your Printer's Name and choose Save. Give a title such as Acrobat 11X17" the save click save or okay.
then you can from printer menu call up this setting in future.

  • Is there any way to "Print to PDF" from Acrobat?

    In Windows, you can open a PDF in Acrobat and print it to a PDF.  This isn't behavior isn't available in the Mac version—trying to use "Save as PDF" and "Save as Adobe PDF" both produce the following error message:
    Saving a PDF file when printing is not supported. Instead, choose File > Save.
    Is there any way to print to a PDF from Acrobat Pro X on a Mac (running Snow Leopard)?
    Note: There's a utility to being able to print from a PDF to PDF (which I why I suspect it's available in the Windows version), so "You're doing it wrong—just Click File > Save" would not be a very helpful response.  I'm sure there are other uses for the functionality, but in my case in particular I need to split each page of a scanned PDF in which each page contains two pages of the original document.  Printing to a PDF provides an easy way to do this, but I'm open to a more appropriate solution if it's available.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Adobe removed the ability to "refry" (make a PDF from a PDF) several versions ago.
    what you need is to go to document and choose Remove (delete) pages (if it’s a duplicate Page)
    You can also extract pages, add pages and so on. See this:

  • Can't print to PDF from Acrobat XI

    I'm having trouble printing to a PDF from Acrobat XI Pro (FYI, I'm using OS X 10.8). 
    Here's what's goin on:
    I open the file in Acrobat.
    I hit Cmd-P and in the "Printer" dropdown list I select "Adobe PDF 7.0".
    I click "Print" in the lower right.
    The print monitor icon pops up, but nothing happens. (When I click it to view progress, it just sits there and says "Ready to print", but no matter what I do, nothing happens.)
    To clarify, as far as I can tell, this is only a problem when I try to print using the "Printer" dropdown menu and is universal across all applications (i.e. Acrobat, Word, Chrome, etc.). When I select "Save as PDF" within any of those applications, there is no problem at all.
    You may be asking yourself "Then why don't you just continue to 'Save as PDF' and forget about the 'Printer' option?" The "why" is not important, so I'll save you my reasoning as it has no bearing on fixing this problem. I'll just say that I have a somewhat frequent need to do it in this particular manner and need to have that option available to me. No offense intended, I simply want to solve to problem without running off on an unimportant tangent.
    I'm sure you'll have other questions about my system and what I'm doing/have done, so please ask away.
    Thanks so much

    I've had the same issue on 10.7 (and, I believe 10.6). Although this point may also be contributing to the problem, I don't suspect that it is the only demon at at work here. However, if you are referring to all versions of OS X that would make some sense since the only print drivers I could find on Adobe's downloads section didn't show support for anything newer than OS 9.2.2
    As to your suggestion, I'm not sure I follow what you mean. Here is a screen cap of the dialogue box I'm presented in Acrobat XI. Can you please point out the "PDF Button" you're talking about?
    After reading your comment again, am I correct in assuming that you are suggesting I essentially save the document as a PDF, as is usually present in the print dialogue box for other applications? If that is what you are suggesting, I already explained that that is not an option and doesn't solve the problem.
    Thanks

  • Printer fails during printing of PDF from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have just upgraded to Acrobat 9 Pro from 7 standard. If I print an older pdf file or new pdf (created with 9) from the same PC I just upgraded the print job will fail. The printer will issue a page about a font and stop. Keep in mind the older PDF files printed fine with 7. The printer is new and there are no new drivers. I have another PC with 8 Pro and I can print any of the PDF without a problem. Adobe Tech support said I have two choices, re-install my old version or update the driver for the printer!

    What OS? What Printer?

  • When I click on Print to print a pdf from my computer, the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does this mean - how do I fix it?

    Why can't I print a pdf in Acrobat Pro? I keep getting the message "initialization of rasteurization module failed". What does that mean and how do I fix that?

    This is an Acrobat error ("Initialization of the rasterizer module failed.") but it is has never been reported before that I can see.
    Let's start with the basics.
    - What version of Acrobat Pro
    - What system
    - What printer
    - Does it happen with other printers?
    - Does it happen with all files?

  • Acrobat Pro 9.51 Hangs When Printing to PDF from WordPerfect.

    Seems Adobe Acrobat 9.51 is hanging when attempting to do a conversion to PDF by printing to PDF from WordPerfect (using X3/X5).  Problem is it also hangs the rest of the PC.  Have to attempt to kill the process (though it is so slow I end up having to restart the PC).  Anybody have any thoughts on this.  Attempted to do a repair (no help), removed the program and reinstalled (also no help).  Thought maybe another process was killing this but turned off all startup items.  Maybe I missed some uninstall items I need to manually remove?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Knowing the OS would be helpful as it may be a factor.
    If the OS is Windows 7 Acrobat 9.x will not provide full functionality.
    Regardless, WP file format(s) are not compatible / supported by Acrobat PDFMaker.
    Corel uses its own publish to PDF process rather than anything Adobe.
    With Acrobat installed you can print to the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
    If you are not doing a File - Print and selecting the Adobe PDF printer then you are using a WP rather than an Adobe process provided by Acrobat.
    Be well...

  • How to print a pdf file from Labview

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to print a pdf file form Labview. I need to be able to point on the pdf file and to print it.
    Activex examples doesnt seem to be working it always displays an error, on every PC that I tryed to run it.

    Thank you for your help.
    Regards,

    You can use the "System Exec.vi". The command line should have the following structure:
    "<Path to AcroRd32.exe>" /t "<Path to document>" "Printer name"
    For example"
    "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /t "C:\myreport.pdf" "Tektronix Phaser 300i"

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint.

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Can't "print to PDF" from Word with Acrobat XI

    I recently upgraded from Acrobat X to Acrobat XI and now I don't seem to be able to "Print to PDF" from within a Word document. It tries to generate the PDF then produces an error log which says:
    "Adobe PDF Settings file read error in :C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings\Standard.joboptions"
    Is there a fix for this?

    Just to be sure about the functionality of everything else. Try changing the job options in the printer (and/or) PDF Maker to the print or press options and see if the printing and PDF Maker operate correctly. If that is the case, you indeed know the problem is bad files. I am not sure if the ones that fail can be extracted seperatedly from the Acrobat distribution or not. I might check my Win7 installation of AAXI and see if I have any issues with the job options. I generally do not use the Std options, but one provided by IEEE for publications. I have found that works about as well as any and the results generally look nice. It generally embeds all fonts that is another option I want. The font issue is not optimum from my viewpoint with the Standard settings that does not embed all fonts.
    You might try to see if you can open them in Distiller. If so you might want to save copies from within Distiller (just save with a new name). Then check your last step and see if they open when resaved or when used as the settings for the print.
    I am just trying to dream up things you can try. The Distiller route might be a good test. If the copies work fine, but the originals do not, you could just rename the originals with ...orig or such and then change the name of the copies back to the original name. If you wanted to go one step further (I recommend it), change all of these new versions to be read only as the original should be.
    I forgot to mention that to edit them in Distiller, go to the settings tab and select the job settings, then enter edit. The original files can not be saved without changing the name since they are read only. If you need more help on this, ask and I will go to my machine with AAXI.

  • When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and markedly smaller print. How do I correct this?

    When printing to PDF from webpage, the pdf is compressed on the bottom of each page and with markedly smaller print, the top of the page is fine. How do I correct this?

    Open Contacts and click Preferences on the menu named Contacts. On the General tab of the Preferences window, select Show First Name: Before Last Name and then print. You can change that Preference back to the other way after printing if desired.
