How to print a pdf @ 100% 10cm on screen = 10cm on print

I cannot seem to print pdfs to any printer wireless or wired at 100%.
If i put 100% and choose boarderless paper the print out is one size if i choose with boarder it prints out a different size.
furthermore in both cases the print is not even 100% 10cm measured on screen will not be on either print outs.
This has been driving me mad! i've played around with a few of the preview settings ie switching between 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel and size on screen equals size on printout.

In testing your symptom to a Canon MG6150 I get exact reproduction. I created a 10cm x 2cm box in InDesign and printed that at 100%. That measued correctly.
I then exported the document to PDF and opened in Acrobat. With the ruler enabled I could see the box was 10cm x 2cm. And when I printed it with page scaling set to 100% the box was the correct measurement.
As for the borderless vs border, my understanding of borderless is that it will enlarge the document to fill. Often in the driver settings you can adjust the amount of extension so this would impact your image reproduction.

    why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.

  • Printing a PDF or should I say can't print a PDF

    I can print on my HP CP1025 NW from Word, Excel, etc., via cable or wireless, but when I try to print a mailing label from USPS I get an error message saying that I get a "filter failed" message.  If I am "wired" to the printer the information looks to be sent to the printer, the green ready light begins flashing, but it never prints and appears to time out.  Any ideas???  I have the most current Adobe download.

    So what has happened, is my wife went and purchased postage from USPS on her MBP.  The label was downloaded and became a Adobe PDF.  So when we try to print the file She got a filter failed message. 
    So, I took the file and emailed it to my MBP and tried to print it.  That is when I get the filter failed message if I am going wireless.  If I use the USB I get the blinking green ready light and nothing, even after 10 min or so nothing.
    So as I currently try to print and go to the File/Print and click on the PDF button as you said, when I select Save as PDF I get a "Can't go to File/Save message".  If I pick Preview as PDF I get a "not supported massage".   When I select the Save as Adobe PDF it saves it but still does not print. 
    On Printer/Scanner tile says, "Finding Printer", then "Printing - Connected to Printer" and then goes and goes and nothing prints.

  • File Printed to PDF does not match file displayed on Print Screen in OD

    I have Oracle Discoverer reports (scheduled) that I open and print to PDF files monthly. My files process and display on my computer screen without any errors. However, when I click FILE-PRINT, I immediately receive the error message "Not all rows have been retrieved. Data may be inaccurate." Most times the PDF files print correctly. However, sometimes not all of my columns are calculated when my pdf file opens. Changing settings under options (Query Governor) does not appear to make any difference. Any help would be appreciated. Sandy

    Hi Sandy,
    this is not an error as such, when u run the report in oracle discoverer desktop, it will fetch only first set of values when you scroll down, it will fetch next set of values and so on, if u go to the setup in the discoverer desktop in the edit menu, you can actually set number of records to be retrieved, If u set that according to ur requirement, you will get all the records and it will be properly printed.

  • Where are the recent file locations for Printing to PDF stored? Deleted folders reappear when printing to PDF.

    question is above... where can I delete the list of recent locations?
    very annoying when I delete folders I have used in previous PDF printing, then reappear (all of them) when I PDF again to any location

    AcroTray is running in background.
    Thanks, will try that. Just have to work out Word settings so the conversion is seamless. Word tends to drop images and such when I do that.
    In the interim, I've downloaded the CutePDF driver and all seems to be working. Ultimately the issue seems to lie with the PDF driver provided by Acrobat, but no matter how many times I reinstall the driver I still get the same problem.

  • How can I calbrate your program with my screen colors when printing

    I need to calbrate adobe acrobat 9 pro to print the colors that show on my screen, How can I do that?

    This is a huge subject, and there are whole books on the subject. So this is just a very oversimplified idea.
    The idea of calibration is to match everything against what I will call "master colours". Once your monitor is calibrated, software knows how to convert master colours into your monitor colours, and similarly colours for printing can be converted from master colours to printer colours.
    But this doesn't make all colours the same. Printers can't print the same colours as you see on a monitor; all of the really bright colours are lost. It may be that if you've calibrated your monitor, that things are already as close as they are going to get.
    If the monitor is calibrated, and Windows or Mac OS knows about that, then Acrobat will already be using that information. So the screen should look accurate. Non-PostScript printers will generally try their best to match these colours too without your needing to do anything. That's why I asked if you have a PostScript printer.

  • Printing a PDF in Adobe Reader  v8 does not print watermark

    In our office we have PDFs created with Adobe Acrobat Professional version 7 that have a lighten watermark which say "confidential". These PDF documents print fine with Adobe Reader 7.0.8. Our office has now converted to Adobe Reader 8.1.1. When you open the PDF in Adobe Reader v8.1.1 the watermark displays on the screen but when you print the document the document prints without the watermark.
    I have checked the knowledge base and can't find this issue. The document has no trouble printing, it just doesn't display the watermark. I have tested Adobe Reader versions 8.0, 8.1.1 and the new version 8.1.2 all display the watermark when you open the Reader, but none of them print the watermark. I have gone back and verify and the watermark does print on Adobe Reader v7.0.8.
    If anyone has a similar issue or solution please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Mary Mendoza

    I have the same problem. The watermark does not print out even though I can see it in the print preview. Anybody...?

  • Printing to PDF (adobe, pdfcreator, etc) I can not print shades.

    Hello.
    I need to print a movieclip from flex 4 to a pdf printer at high quality with vectorial elements (fonts or graphics).
    At this point it´s all right, but shadows don´t appear.
    Using flashplayer 10.1
    Please help me. 
    Thanks a lot
    Willy

    Hi, yes that may be since most all Adobe Programs use Flash Player. You may want to test your browser if you think you don't have Flash Player Installed correctly. When this site opens, you should see the Flash logo animate(spin) and your Flash Player version that you have Installed will be displayed. If that is successful then you have Flash Player Installed correctly

    You can also test here since this site gives more info but no animation:

  • How to Display my Form in the selection screen.(without print format)

    Hi all,
    I did one gate pass form and i want to view the form in my selection screen or output screen(just in monitor) as  a display by giving one Z-code.
    i.e, we can view the form thru Print preview...the same preview, i want to display after i give my parameter in the selection screen.
    For example.ZGPOUT if i enter as a t-code.
    it should ask my Gate Pass number in the Selection screen...if its right then my Form will come out to the display screen. (instead of going by Print method).,
    Pls post ur comment and reply me with examples,if possible.
    thanks & regards

  • How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

    To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6,  Snow Leopard. 
    I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers.  For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
    Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it. 
    I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have  used NeoOffice Draw, which  seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
    When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s).  No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer".   I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
    So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier. 
    Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's.  Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
    Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached.  Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
    Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes,  I am a printer capable of doing this....".  (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
    So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution?  Is there an existing product I can use?  Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers?  Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
    Thanks!

    Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

    You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
    What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
    You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
    Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

    Hi screen name,
    Adobe PDF printer gets installed when you install Acrobat 10 Pro.
    To use this printer you need to purchase Acrobat. Once the trial period is over you cannot use the printer to create pdf files.
    An alternative way for you is to utilize Microsoft's own inbuilt pdf engine.
    You can simply open the file and select 'Save as' and in the type list select 'pdf'

  • I print a PDF.  I want it to save, no matter which program I print from, to my hard drive.  How do I do this?

    I print a PDF.  I want it to save, no matter which program I print from, to my hard drive.  How do I do this?

    Hi print to file default,
    Please forgive me, but I'm not sure I follow what you're trying to do. Are you trying to print a PDF to PostScript (that's typically what "print to file" refers to). Or, are you simply creating PDF files, and you want them to save to you hard disk? I'm not sure why you would want to print a PDF file "to file."
    Are you perhaps using the Create PDF Desktop printer, which automatically saves files to your Acrobat.com online account? (If so, please be aware that Create PDF Desktop printer will be retiring shortly. Please see Adobe CreatePDF Desktop Printer is no longer available.)
    Please help me understand what you're trying to achieve, and we'll get this sorted out.
    Best,
    Sara
