Increase PDF print size

Hi guys,
We are facing an issue when printing a report in PDF.
If the size of the PDF file is > 1 MB then pdf is not generated, is there a way to fix this issue, is there any parameters available to set in instance/NQSConfig files.
Thanks for the help.
Yar.

Hi Dorothy,
Yes, ExportPDF is designed to convert PDF files to Word format (and several others), so that you can open and edit them in Word. Do you know how the PDF file was created? I ask, because the quality of the PDF file (which can vary depending on what created it), has a direct correlation to the quality of the conversion. If the PDF isn't written to standards, you might find that you have to do some touchups once the file is converted.
Depending on how tiny the print is, and what page size you're dealing with, scaling the PDF as you print it from Reader (you can set the scaling percentage jn the Print dialog box) might also give you the result that you're looking for.
Best,
Sara

Using Examine Document Remove increases pdf file size !

Hi,
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro v9.3.0
I've been editing a lot of scanned .pdfs - rotating and cropping pages.
All this has previously worked fine with v8 but now I find that Acrobat 9 is increasing the .pdf file size after using Examine Document and clicking Remove
For example:
original file: 16,861 Kbytes
file after cropping 74 pages (from A4 to A5): 16,879 Kbytes
file after running Examine Document > Remove cropped metadata : 79,914 Kbytes !!!
With Acrobat 8 this process would normally have halved the file size.
Am I now doing something wrong ??
Thanks in advance.

Hello - This problem is still here !
Acrobat 9 Pro version 9.4.2
I've got a .pdf created by an agency (so not a scanned image) which I want to make as small as possible for emailing to hundreds of people (I'll attach it if possible somehow ?)
I open it up when it's 331Kb
Click Document > Examine Document
Check the Metadata and Deleted/Cropped items
Click Remove
Click File > Save As and hey presto, the new file with all that stuff supposedly removed is 2,588 Kb
Surely I'm not the only one who's bothered about .pdf file size ?

Preview.app increases PDF file size.

When making changes to a PDF (in my case, creating annotations), Preview.app will increase the file size of a PDF if that PDF was run through Acrobat Pro's "Reduce File Size" process. For example, I have a PDF that I created using a Book2Net book scanner. I then used Acrobat Pro 10 to OCR the file, then ran Reduce File size which shrank the file size from almost 1.6gb down to about 62mb. If I use Preview.app to make an annotation and then save the file, Preview.app will inflate the file back up to 1.6gb.
An earlier thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1478588?start=0&tstart=0) also discusses a similar issue. I'm not sure if those folks were also working with PDFs that were reduced in size by Acrobat Pro or not.
Anyone else have this issue?
10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.

That is not normal. same action with acrobat and skim do not do this. Changing file size from 170mb to 780mb (my case) should not be expected.
Preview re-formats the file (which takes a while the first "save"). It may even make scrolling and searching for text faster, but is not desirable all the time.
There is NO explanation from Apple in help or online. Keeping things simple is one thing, having unexpected and unexplained behavior is another.
Last preview update made it pretty much useless for annotations anyways.
Choosing "text" annotation used to allow for clicking anywhere on the pdf and start typing. Now, it automatically creates a text box at the center of page that has to be the dragged (and make sure not dragging other annotations with it). click T multiple times, multiple text boxes on top of each other.
I never thought I would look at Windows users with jealousy. What a bad job they are doing.

Preview increases pdf file size when saving

When I save a PDF journal article using Preview, it often increases the file size by 2x - 4x, regardless of whether I have added annotations. In the attached image, you can see I downloaded a journal article (2.3 MB), opened it in Preview, duplicated and saved it and the resulting copied file was 6.1 MB.
This is a problem because I it signifiantly increases the size of my synced reference library. It is worse with larger files (25 MB eBooks that increase to 80 MB).
Can anyone help me find a way to annotate a journal article and preserve the original file size? I have tried Adobe Reader (awful and buggy interface, but preserves the original size!), and several other PDF apps (e.g. Skim) seem to rely on Apple's PDF engine where the file results in a larger size as well. Using Quartz filters to reduce file size within Preview is not effective. I'm happy to purchase a program if it works well.

I have also experienced this issue. My PDF file of 300MB increased to over 900MB when I simply put one straight line annotation onto it. Effectively this made the PDF unusable since it is now very slow to open and it is too large to transfer onto my iPad. I've experienced this multiple times with a variety of PDF files, and so now simply avoid changing them in any way in Preview. I have written to Apple via apple.com/feedback and have talked to Apple store 'Geniuses' about this. Apparently it is a known issue, but there was no promise of a resolution. I love the way Preview opens quickly and displays files and also allows beautiful, smooth scrolling of PDFs. It's a pity that there's this enormous problem with annotating. If anyone knows of a solution, it would be great to hear. I've tried other PDF programmes such as Adobe for Mac, but wasn't too impressed.

Increase pdf font size when downloaded as local file.

Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

How do i change print size?

when printing a pdf i try to save paper by printing two sheets to a page . the result is large margins on both sides and in the middle and top and bottom with the print area reduced in size and the print so small it is very difficult to read. i can't work out how to reduce the size of the blank margins and hopefully increase the print size.
can you suggest a way around this?

Hey,
This issue may be coming into play from a conflict of drivers. What model HP printers do you have?
Some HP printers use PCL3 and are compatible with using multiple alternate drivers. I would advise trying to use the HP Deskjet 9800 driver as a way to get past the driver conflict. For information on how to use an alternate driver please click here.
Let me know if this helps,
Jason

Pdf file size increases when printing resulting in slow print speed.

I have a .pdf that is saved at 27MB. When I send it to an HP Designjet T520 36in printer the file size jumps up to 136MB and the printing is incredibly slow. This does not happen on all files on a few random ones. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

It's entirely normal for file size to increase. PDFs are much more compressed than print streams. For some printers the print size is almost constant (a huge bitmap), for others, it's a collection of graphical items and the size varies enormously. Rarely anything you can do.

Can I increase the page size in an existing PDF?

We have a PDF of a CAD drawing from a consultant. The problem is, the page size is letter, and we need it to be tabloid to accommodate a section of General Notes and a Cost Estimate table. We would rather not go back to the consultant both from a cost standpoint and from a time standpoint.
Is it possible to increase the page size within the PDF so that I have some blank space at top or bottom for the needed blocks?
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks!

Hi Mamie ,
Please refer to the following kb document and see if this helps.

FOP PDF Printing and size limit?

I am using FOP for PDF printing in Apex 3.1.
If I run a simple query:
select object_name, object_type
form obj;
I can print the result to PDF if I limit the rows to 2750 just fine. As soon as I increase it to 2800, the Adobe document has an error and can't be opened.
The OC4J container doesn't receive a memory heap error. I have set the memory values quite high.
It lists in the log lines like:
08/10/16 00:12:01 [INFO] [1]
08/10/16 00:12:52 [INFO] [95]
and then hangs.
No other text appears.
However, on successful completion, the following message appears: Parsing of document complete, stopping renderer
Any thoughts are welcome.

We have the PDF printing working with the increased memory sizes but we noticed something odd that we continue to test. Using the OC4J OEM console, we can see the memory usage as we run the reports. It "seems" like the APACHE FOP keeps taking new chunks of memory for each report without releasing the older ones.
For example, I run report A and it grabs a chunk of memory. I view the PDF then close the window. As I go to another screen and invoke a different report, another chunk of memory is taken without the first one being released. You can watch the memory usage go up and up each time you invoke a report.
We want to do some more testing to see what the test cases are (like if I log off APEX - will the memory then be released?) but I have read other Net postings about memory problems with APACHE FOP.
Just wanted to pass this observation along. Once we have some definitive test cases, I will post them here.

Why is that saving as PDF increase the file sizes?

Hola
I've been notice that when I save a file as PDF, in CS5 it increase the file size to double that before.
Even saving it with the same setting than before.
For example, most of my Business Card file that I sent to print, use to be 1.5 or so megabytes
Now if I open the same file, --or a new file-- and save it, it will increase it to double that size
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hola and Thanks for your help
Ok, I've been using Photoshop since version 6 or so (around year 2000)
Just upgrade to CS5
Before, for example, I'll make a file in PS, merge the layers, open a new file whit the same dimensions, resolution etc,
and save this file as PDF to send to printers.
Tthe file(s) that I have or were create them in CS4, than saved as PDFs have a file sizes of 1 to 2 megabytes as average.
The NEW files (in the same sequence) that I create now, have an average of 3 Mbytes
Even do, I save them with the same --I believe-- setting in PDF
There's may be a new feature in PDF save dialogue box that I'm not getting?
or, it just more information that it is put into?
Thanks

Print to PDF as size A2

I am trying to create a PDF using paper size A2 using Acrobat V9.1 on Windows XP
When I try to select paper size, either in the print properties or acrobat printing preferences (settings -> printers), I don't have any page sizes larger than A3.
If I try to Add a paper size called A2, (Adobe PDF Page Size "Add" button) it says "Not allowed to modify system or printer defined size (A2). Only user defined paper size can be modified or deleted."
If I try to create a new size e.g. "MyA2" with the correct sizes, after I press the "Add/Modify" button, I don't get any warnings or errors, but I still don't have the page size available.
I've looked in the help, and I've searched the forums, but can't find anything. How can I enable the A2 page size that already exists, or how do I create a new one to use?

...so today I contatcted the Adobe support, both via LiveChat and via telephone (the German support in this case).
While the live chat operator took a while to understand what I was talking about, the guy on the phone understood it immediately.
He said that this is a well-known bug of Adobe Acrobat, and he confirmed that right now there is no solution. He said that it might be corrected with an upcoming update... even if the problem is now more than one year old (much more).
The only workaround available at the moment is to create the paper size that you need and name it "Azero" or "Aone".... it's for sure not a reasonable solution in our environment, finding a mixture of workstations working differently, but at least it's a possibility for single users.
It would be also nice if any "Qualified Adobe" user could report here some "official" information about such a bug in Acrobat.
Hoping for a fix coming up...

Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Anybody out there?

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.
