I'm trying to print from Acrobat to my printer, but I can't make changes to the document size or anything!

I'm trying to print a set of plans onto 11x17 paper but I can't find anywhere to make formatting changes.  Can anyone help?

Hi Paul,
What version of Acrobat and you using, and are you on Mac OS or Windows?
What do you see in the Print dialog box? If you select Size under Page Size & Handling, the PDF should print at the same size as the page size in Acrobat (if your printer supports that page size).
You can also click Printer at the bottom of the Print dialog box to override Acrobat's print settings, and use the settings specific to your printer driver.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

  • When I right clock on a song from my library and I click on Obtain information, I can't make changes on the infos, Everything is wriiten in pale letters. Olease help. Thank you.

    Can anyone help me withis. When I right click on a song from my library and I click on Obtain information, I can't make changes on the infos, Everything is written in pale letters.  Thank you.

    Short answer:
    Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
    Long answer:
    iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
    If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
    Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
    To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.

  • When I download pictures from my camera, they turn out a nice big size in iPhoto; other pictures that have been e-mailed to me or imported from older libraries/other computers show up small.  Why is this, and how can I make them all the larger size?

    When I download pictures from my digital camera into iPhoto, they turn out a nice large size (usually almost the full screen), but when somebody e-mails me pictures and I import them into iPhoto, or when I transfer old photos from an old library into my new iPhoto library, they turn out very small--not exactly thumbnail-size, but too small to use for calendars or photo books.  I don't know much about computers, so I don't know how this happened.  Also, I can't find any discernible pattern to why this happens with some pictures and not others--ie: what I described above is usually true, but I have had e-mailed photos or old photos turn out the way I want them, which is in the larger size in iPhoto.  Why is this happening, and how can I make all the pictures the larger size?

    Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

  • Can't print from Mac to Windows printer

    I have a wireless network of 3 computers and a printer. One is a desktop running XP with the printer attached. The other is a laptop with XP. And the last is a MacBook with 10.4.11.
    I can print from both computers running XP but I can't print from the Mac. The Mac sees the printer and I can add it and try to print from it. When I try to print I get the error message:
    NTSTATUS_NOMEMORY
    I later get the "Unable to connect to SAMBA host, will retry in 60 seconds" message too.

    Be sure the printer name assigned in Windows is not more than 11 alphanumeric characters. Long names with punctuation and the like are known to cause problems.

    Tutorial: Resolving common printer problems
    Mac OS X offers a robust printing system with built-in support for hundreds of devices from a wide body of manufacturers. It's not without flaws, however, and printers often become unrecognized or non-functional after a significant Mac OS X update. Printers connected through hubs or AirPort base stations can also exhibit some frustrating issues.
    Below is a run-down of the most generally successful printer workarounds. Keep trying until one of them sticks.
    Use Printer Setup Repair This tool lets you verify properties of the root user, the Printing Services (lp) user, and Print Operators (lp) groups, reset the printing system, perform CUPS maintenance and more. Run through its set of maintenance tasks before delving into further printer troubleshooting. See how to use it in this article.
    Re-install CUPS If you are experiencing printer issues after applying an incremental Mac OS X update, problems may have occurred with your CUPS installation during the update process.
    The file is available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php, and is labeled cups-1.2.1.dmg
    Delete then re-add printers/Reset printing system Open Printer Setup Utility, located in Applications/Utilities and look at the "Printer List" Highlight and delete all entries.
    Alternatively, go to the "Printer Setup Utility" menu at the top of the screen and select "Reset Printing System".
    Click the "Add" button and re-add your printer(s).
    Gutenprint and usbtb Some users have been able to resolve printer communication issues by installing the excellent open-source Epson printer drivers available as part of the Gutenprint package (formerly known as Gimp-print) and usbtb, a CUPS back-end for USB printing.
    Remove non-required drivers Removing extraneous drivers from /Library/Printers(name of manufacturer) can sometimes resolve printer issues. Remove files that are for other models than your own.
    Re-install drivers Re-installation of printer drivers from original media or from a Web download (either directly through the manufacturers site or via a search by model/manufacturer on VersionTracker) can resolve some printer issues.
    Try disconnecting from network In some cases, LAN-connected printer, seemingly broken by the Mac OS X update can restored to normal operation by simply disconnecting the device from the network then re-connecting it.
    "Communicator Error" -- try power cycling If you receive a "Communication Error" message when attempting to print after updating to Mac OS X 10.4.5, the first workaround you should try is power cycling the printer, as well as disconnecting then re-connecting it to the Mac.
    Connecting directly to the Mac If you are having printer problems and are using an external USB hub, try connecting the printer directly to your Mac.
    One reader who had success with this method writes:
    "Unfortunately the update to Mac OS X 10.4.6 has eliminated the ability to use my Lexmark Z600 series USB printer on my iMac G5 20" iSight (rev C).
    "I resolved the problem via the following: I unplugged my external USB hub and plugged the printer directly to my computer."
    Disconnect from AirPort and reset For those who are using printers connected to an AirPort Express, Extreme or another wireless device with USB connections, you might want to try the following:
    Disconnect the printer from the AirPort unit (or other router)
    Wait a few minutes
    Plug it back in
    Restart the base station unit
    Check for your printer to appear in AirPort Admin Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
    Print one copy In some cases, using print one copy instead of the standard print command can result in elimination of crashes that occur during printing.
    Try IP printing instead of AppleTalk Some Macs are unable to see AppleTalk printers that are located on the local AirPort (or other wireless) network. Several users have been able to workaround this issue by using IP printing instead of AppleTalk.
    Last resort -- Archive and Install As a last resort, try performing the somewhat tedious Archive and Install process, then re-upgrading to Mac OS X 10.4.7. This has solved some otherwise inexplicable printer issues for MacFixIt readers.

  • Can't Print from Acrobat 9 Pro on windows 7 64bit....

    I have a windows 7 64-bit computer that can't print to any printer from Acrobat 9 Pro.  When you try to print I get the following error:
    "print driver host for 32 bit application has stopped working"
    Any thoughts, it's driving me crazy....

    I'm having the identical problem and the only way I can get it to work is by not trying to change the title suggested by Acrobat for the PDF.
    If I try printing from Firefox and pasting in a new PDF title, it crashes Firefox.

  • Can't print from Acrobat

    Hello, my problem is that I can't print documents from Adobe Acrobat prof.
    Every time the error "a required resource cannot be loaded".
    I tried to use another printer, another pc. No matter which printer it is every time the same error. On another pc (terminal server) there is no error.
    I have installed the printers again, same error. I have installed adobe cs2 again. same error.
    I tried to print from other cs2 application but there is the same error.
    Anybody who can help ?
    thanks a lot

    I am a bit confused by some of the implications in your topic. You talk about printing from Acrobat, but then it seems like you are talking about creating PDFs (ok, that is reading between the lines). I am not really sure what you are doing. Might it also be an issue of a network printer? What OS; what Acrobat; and what steps are you actually taking?

  • Problem with printing from Acrobat Reader XI

    SInce I installed Acrobat Reader XI I have got problems with printing out pages. The text starts a bit down (2 cm) on the paper, resulting that the last part of the text on the page will be missing. And the missing part does not follow on page 2, it just don´t comes out!
    It doesn´t matter what settings i click in on the print setting page in Acrobat Reader, it always gets the same result.
    Does anyone know what can be the problem?

    No files appeared in C:\Users\Pavilion\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings but they did appear in Distiller.
    I tried to copied them from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Settings, but found they were already there.  I copied them by adding -COPY before .joboptions in the name.  Now they appeared in  Printing Preferences with the -COPY added.
    I tested a print from Word (using File / Print), but was not prompted for the filename or location.  I checked my entire system and couldn't find the PDF file anywhere.  I tried changing the Port to Desktop\*.pdf using Printer Properties, but that didn't work either.
    I was able to successfully use the Acrobat menu item in Word & Excel to create a PDF but it automatically created the file on the Desktop without an option to change the filename.
    After several days and hours, I gave up and installed Acrobat X on the W7 computer.  I can still use Acrobat XI on the W8 computer.  So be it!
    Thanks anyway for your attempts to help.

  • How to get  paper color profiles when printing from Acrobat

    Hello,
    I've been in trouble trying to print with specific paper profiles from Acrobat.
    I'm running on mac os 10.8.5, and the latest version of the suite (Acrobat XI).
    My printer is an Epson 3880.
    I can print ok using my paper profiles when I'm printing from Photoshop; the paper profils show up in the printer box,
    and I can choose from my different paper profiles, some of which I've installed recently, non-Epson papers.
    But those paper profiles don't show up in the menu when I print from Acrobat…
    Any hints why I can't reach those?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Keth.

    Are you talking about the color profiles?  If so then:
    1.  Go to File>Print
    2.  Click the Advanced button
    3.  Select Color Management from the window pane
    4.  Select the Color Profile from the Color Profile pop-up menu

  • PDFs not printing from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

    PDF don't print from Acrobat Reader 7.0.8. The same PDFs print from Preview. I've tried many PDF from various sources (over a dozen including those created on my Mac) in every case they print fro Preview and not from Reader.

  • Solution to the problem printing from Acrobat 9.4.2

    Since there are nearly 200 posts in the original thread, It might be best (for those looking for a quick solution) to do this in a new thread.
    The problem is that you cannot print to a network printer from Acrobat (pro) 9.4.2.  Printing to a local (USB) printer seems okay.
    The solution (for us) was found at http://www.hypersensory.com/content/fix-printing-after-installing-adobe-acrobat-942-update
    The approach I tested was:
    [T]he fast and easy way:
    1.) go to the installation directory of Acrobat (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat)
    2.) Look for the file "Adobe.Acrobat.Dependencies.manifest"
    3.) Open it and delete the line <file name="atl.dll" />
    4.) Reboot your machine after saving that file
    This should fix the issue of being unable to print PDF file after installing 9.4.2 update for Adobe Acrobat.
    With thanks to the folks at HyperSensory.com!  It works!

    Could someone from Adobe respond to this specific issue so that we know we are being heard?  Will the fix for the print issue also resolve the 'attach to email' problem?  Is there any work around other than telling users to attach directly from their email programs?
    Thanks in advance for your response to our concerns.

  • Faded colors when printing from Acrobat - different than previous

    Hi
    I have read some threads about color fading when printing a PDF created in ID and printed from Acrobat. My problem is the same and I am also having the same problem with PDF's exported from Keynote (client created posters). It sounds like I should work with the PDF optimizer for the solution. Has anyone experienced the fading colors from anything other than ID or Quark made PDF's? Did the optimizer fix the problem? I find it frustrating that I can print directly from ID and not have a problem - why can't they all get along!  ;0)
    Using Acrobat 9, Keynote 09 and an Epson 9880 printer.
    Thanks

    RE: "You don't indicate what Xerox printers you have"
    In my first post I named it, is that the information you need?
    Docucolor 3535 using Splash 3535
    That's interesting, so I have to find a way to turn off the printer's Color Management function? I mailed them, hope they can tell me how to do it easily. They usually just tell me to not use any profiles and so on, but that's the general rule in this area, I'm really tired of hearing it. Everybody seems to think profiles and LAB mode are nuclear science and I should stay away from it.
    Anyway, the test image I'm using is a simple photograph (size A3, 300dpi), so no transparencies at all. I'm placing this image into an equally large ID file and print it from ID, then export it to PDF-X/3 and print it from Acrobat. Hope that helps.

  • Same as Source Printing from Acrobat 9

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm in the process of testing CS4 for deployment to a large print production environment and I'm seeing some interesting behavior in so far as it's handling of color management is concerned, specifically with Same as Source printing from Acrobat.
    I currently have CS2 deployed, and we're using InDesign for page composition. We primarily accept Adobe RGB (1998) and US Web Coated (SWOP) artwork. PDFs are created from InDesign via File > Export, and we have it configured for "No Color Conversion" and "Include all Profiles." As such, our PDFs contain both RGB and CMYK artwork, all of which is tagged with an ICC profile.
    In Acrobat 7, we submit these files "Same as Source" to our RIPs (Fiery and Wasatch) in order to preserve the embedded profiles. All of our color management is handled at the RIP. This works quite nicely. We have tested the submissions and the RGB and CMYK builds (color numbers) come through dead on.
    With Acrobat 9 Same as Source submissions, we are seeing that the builds are changing, and that we are getting a conversion to CMYK.
    -Original PDF file
    Raster RGB - 191,45,47
    Here are the numbers that are submitted by Acrobat, captured by our RIP:
    -Acrobat 7 Same As Source
    Raster RGB - 191,45,47
    -Acrobat 7 Printer/Postscript Color Management
    Raster CMYK- 0,244,245,0
    -Acrobat 9 Same As Source
    Raster CMYK - 0,242,251,0
    -Acrobat 9 Printer/Postscript Color Management
    Raster CMYK - 0,242,251,0
    -Acrobat 9 Acrobat Color Management
    Raster CMYK - 17,248,245,1
    So the question is: What changes have been made in Acrobat 9 to cause for it to handle Same as Source print submissions differently? Why is it that our builds are changing when Same as Source has always been how we get "pass through" color from Acrobat?
    Has anyone else run into this? From the perspective of a RIP-driven, color managed workflow, this is a serious issue, no?
    (This is also posted to the Color Management forum, as it is both a color management concern generally, and an issue specificly related to Acrobat.)
    Matt

    We’ve done some further investigations into the differences in Same as Source printing from Acrobat 7 and Acrobat 9. For our tests we created a simple InDesign file with two red vector rectangles, one defined as Adobe RGB (1998) and one as U.S. Web Coated (SWOP). This file was then exported to PDF with “No Color Conversion” and “Include All Profiles.” The resulting PDF contained both rectangles tagged as specified, as verified with PitStop.
    We then opened this PDF in both Acrobat 7 and 9 and printed to PS files (at the time, the queue for our HP5500PS was selected). Our cursory findings are:
    1. The file sizes differs, which suggests that there is a difference right off the bat.
    2. The printed artwork differs visually, which is troublesome.
    3. In both instances, when opened in Notepad2, the page objects appear to be tagged properly with Adobe RGB and SWOP specified as the objects color space. This, on the other hand, is good.
    a.       Acrobat 7
      i.      RGB – Line 3342
      ii.      CMYK – Line 3400
    b.       Acrobat 9
      i.      RGB – Line 8406
      ii.      CMYK – Line 8468
    4. And here's the biggie: When the PS file created from Acrobat 9 is opened in Illustrator, it says "The document does not have an embedded RGB profile" and it allows for the specification of an RGB profile ONLY. When the PS file created from Acrobat 7 is opened in Illustrator, it says "This document contains objects using both CMYK and RGB color modes. Illustrator allows only one color mode per document. Which color mode would you like to use?" Of course, this PS file SHOULD contain mixed color modes (because it came from a mixed color mode PDF), but only the PS files from Acrobat 7 do. The PS files from Acrobat 9 do NOT. This suggests to us that the PS files (and therefor print data submitted to PS queues as Same As Source) created by Acrobat 9 are not honoring the embedded ICC profiles of tagged artwork.
    Does anyone out there have any thoughts or experience? If what we are finding is true, this is a major problem for Adobe's Acrobat 9 print engine.
    Matt
