Improvement request - duplex printing different page sizes

I have scanned sheet music to PDF and then trimmed the margins for best display on my tablet. This means some pages are different sizes (but all are smaller than 8.5 x 11).
I combined one such PDF into a larger PDF of all 8.5 x 11 pages. When I print duplex, the pages that are less than 8.5 x 11 print out single sided instead of duplexed. It does this regardless of the size option (fit, actual size, or shrink) that I choose.
I consider this to be a bug. It is already properly centering the less than 8.5x11 pages on the output paper, so it should be able to duplex them even though they are different sizes in the PDF. I would like to see this fixed.

Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

Hello all,
     I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22". These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
     In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17". We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
     With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work. The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size? Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
     Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly! The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error. So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
     We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades. I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
     How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
Thanks ahead of time.

Ajlan,
     Thank you for your time. I am still having the issue. I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12. Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer. They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
     It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf. I need to physically print the pdf. Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.
' Print PDF Page by Page.VBS
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(Path & ".TDM")
PDFFileName = Path & " Page by Page.pdf"
IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)
OldPrintName = PrintName
PrintName = "winspool,DIAdem PDF Export,LPT1:" ' Set to PDF printer
PDFResolution = "72 DPI" ' "2400 DPI" , "default"
PDFOptimization = TRUE
PDFFontsEmbedded = FALSE
PDFJPGCompressed = "high"
PrintOrient = "landscape" ' orient paper
Call PrintMaxScale("GRAPH") ' auto-max, see alternative margin setting variables below
PrintLeftMarg = 0.181

Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
Call GraphSheetRename(GraphSheetName, "Page " & i)
Call PicUpdate
Call PicPrint("WinPrint") ' Add a page to be printed

Call DocEnd ' End multi-page document/print job
PrintName = OldPrintName

How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

Different Page sizes in the same Framemaker Document

Is there any way in Framemaker to create different page sizes ( say A4 & A3) simultaneously, either as body pages or master pages, in a long, multi-page document ? The long pages (A3 size) will be folded and tucked inside to fit the width of the A4 size page. Is there something obvious that I am missing ?
-appu g

Ian,
Whether the printer adjusts to different page sizes automatically is a function of the printer, not Frame. A number of printers that have feeds for different size sheets will automatically adjust for you, provided you select "automatic" for your page size preference.
If the PDF is for print, then I wouldn't worry about it either -- set the file up to print with crop marks and print it on your larger sheet size.
If the PDF is for online customer viewing, I'd probably do the same thing but without crop marks and either:
* Use Acrobat to crop the small pages out of the larger page size. Although you can add different size pages here and there as required, that's more fiddly and time consuming than cropping sets of pages in batch mode.
or
* let the reader use their copy of Acrobat Reader to set the magnification setting -- the default setting is "automatic."

Print different page ranges of a document without, each time, having a print dialog?

Hello,
Would need your valuable help on that one.
I have a large PDF File, of which I want to print different page ranges, based on the checkboxes that have been checked by the User.
Ideally, clicking a "print" button would generate the page ranges, based on the checkboxes that are checked and open one print dialog with the pages ranges already indicated in it. Like this, the User can enter once the printer settings (e.g. booklet or duplex) he wishes, which should then be valid for all the pages contained in all the page ranges.
Thank you in advance for any tip!
Cheers
Serge

Report Layout for different page sizes....

hi...by chance my report (which was developed for an A4(letter size) paper) printed on a legal size page(8x13 inch) which left alot of blank space on the bottom of page which was giving a bad look to my report. So I want to know that is there anyway to develop the reports so that they set the reports width n height automatically with different page sizes?

nobody is willing to answer this?

Having different page sizes

Hi
How do I have different page sizes? I'd like an A3 "front page" followed by a series of A4 pages. If i change the page size in inspector, it causes a "global" page change on all pages
Thank you
Tony

I was hoping this would work:
Portrait mode for Sheet 1 and Landscape for Sheet 2. Now to get both to print...
It works perfectly.
The orientation is global to the document for Pages but for Numbers, it's a sheet property so, you where right.
We may set a sheet as portrait and an other one as landscape.
I'm not allowed to "vote" for you but in theory I do.
I'm glad, I learnt something

One document... different page sizes?

Hi! I just upgraded to InDesign CS4. My boss wants me to create a flipbook. I have the October issue of InDesign Magazine which will help. However, the document I want to turn in to a flipbook has 6 regular-sized page (8.5x11) and one larger page (11x17). I know in Quark (which I much more familiar with) you cannot have different page sizes within one document. Can you do this in InDesign? Thanks.
Julie

Having played with this a bit, let me ask this a different way. I'm taking a printed document that is like a regular magazine (except it's much shorter). It has a front cover which is 8.5 x 11 and a back cover which is 8.5x11. All interior pages are 2-page spreads. From what I can tell, I have to create the pages in InDesign 4 and export them as an swf file. This currently creates all 2-page spreads. So... how do I get the front and back covers to be single pages? I can do it so that the other half of the spread is blank, but that's not what I want. I want it it to "act" like a real magazine. Thanks.

Creating a document with different page sizes.

I'm trying to produce a leaflet with different pages sizes. To try and explain what I mean I have included a picture of what I'd like the front cover to look like. When producing a booklet there doesn't seem to be a provision to individually alter each page size in the pages or document set up panel. Is there anyway around this or do I have to create each page seperately, export to pdf and then combine into the leaflet? Help gratefully received. tomas

The build booklet feature is for very basic booklets, not something like this.
Sorry, but you’ll need to make everything full size and then do the cutting.

Creation of PDF with different page sizes

I am generating PDF using Acrobat Distiller from my application from the .ps file. From one machine, the PDF is generated with different page sizes.one page with 8.5*12.99 and other pages with 8.5*11 in the same PDF. However the PDF is created with correct page sizes for all the pages in another machine. The only difference between the machines is the Internet Explorer version. I am using Internet explorere 11.0 and the other machine have a version of 8.0 installed.
Why the difference in page size occured? Is there any dependency on the Internet explorer used while creating the PDF using Distiller? Any help for the issue with the discrepancy in the page sizes is really appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat Distiller uses the page size in the PS file. May be a problem of your application which create the PS file.

Change Printer Default Page size to A4 from Letter in Firefox

Firefox overides printer default page size every time I print. I need Firefox to print to A4 but it automatically sets the Page size to Letter. I have to manualy change the size each time I print.
There are no options in Firefox to change this setting permanently. I am running the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP.
In control panel the default page size is set to A4 which Internet Explorer and other applications use correctly.
Thanks,

I solved it! For anyone having a similar problem try this.
Change the default printer, choose another one.
Change something in that printer and close firefox.
Reopen firefox and choose yet another printer (not the first one).
Change something in that printer and close firefox again.
Reopen firefox and choose the first printer. Select A4 as default paper and close firefox one last time.
Reopen firefox and the problem should be gone. Weird, innit?

Different page sizes in same article or folio

Hi
Is it possible to have pages with different sizes in the same article or articles with different sizes inside a .folio?
I saw something like this in last edition of Wired magazine in the Table of content (4th article) and Wired.com section (6th article). Or is it made in another way?
I tried to apply different page sizes in the pages panel and changing the page size of the document, but when updating the article I got error messages like [Error: Multiple page sizes within a document are not supported.] or [Error: The page size aspect ratio must match the folio aspect ratio.].
Thanks

Those are separate articles. You asked about the different sizes in the same article. I missed the part about different size articles…sorry.
You can use smooth scrolling with longer articles but they have to be single pages. Make sure to turn smooth scrolling on and use the _h or _v suffix with the file names.

When I combine PDFs I get different page sizes in the new PDF. Why?

I used the Combine PDF feature today and found that the final version of two originals, combined, had different page sizes when viewed in Adobe. How do I fix this issue? Does it have to do with DPI resolution on scan?

This will happen if the PDFs you are combining have different page sizes. You can check this by hovering the mouse in the bottom left of the screen, at least in Acrobat.
