LEFT MARGIN INCREASES by 20cm WHEN PRINTING LANDSCAPE IN HP Laserjet 5 printer

HI all,
When we migration to FORM 6/Report 6.0, All reports in Landscape layout are printed with 20cm left margin increase when used HP LaserJet 5 printer. It is OK for other printer like HP LaserJet 4050. The problem does not happen on Report 3.0.
Could anyone help me? I believe it is the Oracle bug.
Regards
Chris Sung

Hello,
There were some printer margin issues early on in the 6.0 and 6i releases. Try upgrading to the latest Reports 6i patch (version 6.0.8.15) and see if the problem disappears.

How to change PDF margins?

Is it possible to change the margins of a PDF document? How? Thanks.

I have tried to increase the margins, yet does not seem to work.
I have selected "Tools" and clicked on "Crop". Then double click the document and selected a "Change Page Sizes - Fixes Sizes - Page Sizes - A4". Then selected "Center" and then on XOffset and YOffset included 1 or 2 inches and clicked OK.
Yet the document shows the same margins as before. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

INDD to PDF: web-safe color palette?

Context: currently, the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder, when used to display a PDF in a browser, heavily downsamples images in the PDF resulting in grisly color changes and posterization. This has been discussed for a long time elsewhere on the web (example) and is something Google might eventually deal with.
I assume Google's intention was to hack down bandwidth usage, which I don't begrudge them, but the results stand out glaringly in an otherwise vibrant WWW. Embedded fonts work fine, and the only other visual/layout errors can be with some more advanced design effects—unless they are flattened down to Acrobat 5 compatibility.
With the nasty color changes, what I believe I'm seeing is a re-processing of the images in the PDF with ye olde web-safe color palette. Or maybe its paleolithic predecessor. FYI the source PDF is unaffected. And FYI, yes, I am aware of many other options for embedding a PDF in a web page; I'd like to try and solve this one.
My thinking is this: if I can output my InDesign file such that images are converted more gracefully to a web-safe palette, and possibly with more satisfactory color dithering, then the results via the Google Docs Viewer/Embedder might be improved, more predictable, good enough for now.
I know how to do this with Photoshop, and I assume it's a Photoshop engine working behind the scenes in/for InDesign when processing images, so I'm hoping this is attainable.
Semi-educated guesses:
That a suitable color profile could be created and selected when outputting either PDF or PS, resulting in 255-color (indexed) RGB images in the final PDF layout.
That the long way is to make alternate versions of each image used in the layout, swap them (such as with relink to file extension, e.g. GIF for TIF), and output a version specifically for embedding.
Thanks in advance for any creative thinking.
Edit: it's looking like the limit is far fewer colors, possibly 16. Gross. But I'm still curious about the possibility of a method for this, as it could have other applications.

After getting both your replies, I went back and experimented some more. I am creating a pdf for a b&w book interior, and it is setup as an ID book, with two files. I was trying to generate the pdf from the book.indb file without the individual book indd files being open. That resulted in the screen in my initial question.
I went back and doubleclicked both of my book indd files and selected both, then generated the pdf from the book.indb file. This time I got the proper choices Document CMYK - U.S. Web Coated ....

Converting Word To pdf - margin errors

I am trying to create a portrait pdf file from Word with a custom page size (11X8.5), but when I do this I get a message that the printable area is outside the margins of the form. I have been told by Tech Support that they were able to create a portrait pdf file from Word with the custom dimensions (11X8.5)which will import correctly into their software. Any idea why they don't get the outside the margins error when they create the pdf file from Word? Could our template be causing a problem?
Thanks for the help!!

Do you have the printer set to the Adobe PDF printer during the document editing? If not, try changing the printer and check your document. Also check all of the borders to be sure they are consistent. You may simply be running into a reflow problem with WORD.

InDesign to PDF margins

I have created a document in InDesign, and exported to a PDF. Everytime (except once - and I can't figure out what I did) I print it gives me margins where I don't want them. I'm printing a booklet and don't need margins on the saddle stitched edge. I've set my gutters to zero and even removed all the margins in the InDesign document to no avail. Thanks for any insight on this.

I fail to see the issue. You have added crop marks, have you not? For all intents and purposes those are marks that are supposed to be visible and printable for cutting in the real world. If you don't want them, don't use them. Acrobat can generate them on the fly for printing, anyway.

Pdf file increase on print command

when i go to print a pdf file i have noticed a 7 megabyte file will increase to 100 megabytes which overwhelms my printer's buffer and the print time goes from less than a minute to fifteen minutes. why? is there a fix? thanks

Hi Leonard,
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. The answer has not solved the problem yet. My users don't want to manually merge the files. They want it to happen automatically.
The application which prints documents is a simple MS access database. This is available on users personal desktop. As soon as the user opens the MS access, it is programmed in such a way that, the access database runs as a program. It uses DSN to connect to the sybase database and get the details of documents that are pending for print.
At this point MS accesses database starts an itretive process, fetches the data from sybase , calls the correct report template in MS Access , populates it and prints the report using the default printer on which the database resides. Thus it prints the document one by one. By setting the default printer to Adobe PDF converter, we were successful in creating PDF documents rather than printing to paper , but the disadvantage was each document got printed to one file each.
The whole process is coded as VBA module of MS access. my question is by using an API from Adobe SDK, will I be able to make changes in the VBA code of MS access database so that all files requestd for print comes out as a single PDF file.

Export to PDF - margins and font size

Post Author: LisaConsult
CA Forum: Exporting
Using Crystal XI I programmatically perform an export to PDF. The PDF appears to have larger margins around the document and a smaller font size of text when compared to printing the same report to the printer or PDF distiller. The application is distributed to client workstations. Is there anything that can be done to resolve the issue? Thanks

CA Forum: Exporting
You may need to check the Font's. Even though you may be sending ( and I am just making this up ) Times New Roman 12, the PDF may be using Times New Roman 10.
Anyway, the export to PDF does not support all the fonts that you can use in CR.... Or at least it does not appear to.

PDF size increase

When I edit an image in PS that I extracted from Acrobat, why does the meg size increase with each edit?

I tried that after posting this question and the size was back at the original size, 19mb. I had extracted an image from an ad, color corrected an area, chose Save in PS, closed the image and watched the pdf in Acrobat refresh itself with the edit. I then chose Save in Acrobat, extracted the image into PS again and did another edit. That's when I saw the mb size increase. I can only do one edit in PS and then I have to save it back into Acrobat. If I try to do several different color corrections in PS and choose Save, a dialogue box opens that asks me what I would like to name this temp pdf that saves into a Temp folder. When I was making an edit, saving in PS and then closing that image to save the pdf as the same name, the mb size increased each time until it was up to 334 mb ! I am using Acrobat 7 Pro and PS CS 5.
Thanks for the reply.

Converting .indd or pdf to ifd or mdf format.

I have built some forms in indesign and save as .indd files. I can certainly export to pdf. How can I save these or export them (build them) in .ifd or .mdf files. I have someone that needs my forms in an old jet form format. They have requested the forms in .ifd or mdc format. Is this possible. If so how do I build them?

I have never heard about these file types nor aubout Output Designer but I did a look here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/server/outputdesigner/overview.html (the links away from this page are broken, it seems to be very old.)
It seems that you can export in different filetypes that are supported from Output Designer like PostScript or JPG.

Reduce File Size and Optimise PDF both increase file size

Hi All
I have exported a pdf (our college mag) at smallest file size from Indesign CS4 for online use. The problem is the resultant file size is a little under 19Mb. Using both or either Reduce File Size or Optimise functions simply result in an increase to 22Mb. The document is packed with images however I would have thought one or both of these processes would have helped reduce the file size to a more manageable download file size.
A pdf is also produced to go to print so simply compressing all images prior to imcuding them in Indesign is not a preferable option - this would mean creating two separate Indesign documents, something which I would rather avoid if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.
The file reside here if anyone cares to take a look http://www.ayrcoll.ac.uk/index.php?name=UpDownload&req=viewdownload&cid=11&orderby=dateD It's the latest release (September 09)
Thanks
Colin

You might want to do an audit of the PDF (button in PDF Optimizer) and try to figure out what the various parts are. It shows 58% is content streams (sorry, but I am not sure what that is), 26% is overhead, and only 12.7% is graphics. Since you are not storing bookmarks and such, you might want to try going back to ID and printing to the Adobe PDF printer for a comparison. It may be one technique is more efficient than the other.
When I used the optimizer, the file did get larger. When I used Reduce File Size, it got slightly smaller. The key may be in figuring out what the various parts are from the audit. You might try copying one page of ID to a new document and play with various versions - different fonts (all were embedded and that is probably best), variations on graphics, etc. That is all I can suggest since I would simply be playing with different ways to produce the document and looking at what is causing the bloat. When the Images are only 12.7% and the fonts less than 1%, there is something going on to produce the size, and those 2 are typically the killers. I would mention tags that tend to bloat, but you do not have any (normally used for assessibility).
You might want to try some of the preflight checks to find issues. I did the transparency check and got 170 instances in 22 pages. Flattening the page may help. There were some pages that seemed to be very bad. However, I did not get a big file size reduction. I did not get a lot of improvement by printing to a new PDF either. Certain pages seem to be part of the bloat problem. The print took a long time around pages 11 and 22.
One troubleshooting technique would be extract pages to separate files and look at the details of each page to see what is causing the issue.
Need to go. Good luck.

Pdf Margins

Hi,
I am trying to use BIP to print 1099 forms. The generated output has a big upper margin which causes the address line not to appear in the envelope window.
I cropped the margin in the pdf template but was of no use. In an rtf template we could goto page setup and set the page margins . Can somebody tell me how to control page margins in a pdf template
thanks
Shri

There is a note on metalink (409204.1). They ask us to crop the final output and print. But this solution is difficult to implement as we print a lot of forms.

Noise Margin Increase

I've been here before, but now the problem is more noticeable.
Due to many disconnects recently my ADSL2 noise margin has been increased to 6.0 dB.
The result is that the speed profile has been reduced to 14330 kbps, from around 18000 kbps, originally. Actual speed is 12200 down / 900 up. Noise margin fluctuates between 5.9 and 6.1 down and up.
I saw this problem on a friend's BT Broadband some time ago, and replaced her hub. This solved the problem. Hence I have no spare BT hub.
Moreover, is this noise margin setting likely to be permanent, or will the speed recover slowly? The line seems to be stable, but CRC errors are high.

from your stats the line looks stable and not a great deal of errors for 6 days connected. if you remain connected then the noise margin should go back to 3db automatically but may take some time. you could always ask the mods to reset to 3db but that will increase the crc/hec errors
Thanks,
You may have seen some of my recent mild rants and complaints.
BT support in India arranged for a reset last weekend, and the noise margin dropped to 3dB. (Good reponse from India). This lasted 12 hours, and then the hub tripped again, overriding the Power Save at 3.00 am Monday (there were no mains supply failures) . Hence the return to 6dB, but with a better speed which had been down to 8000 kbps.
The hub is always left switched on.
I now have a new (spare) Netgear Hub and if there are any more problems I will install it.
Don't want to pester the mods too much.

INDD to PDF?

I have downloaded the INDD 30 day trial and want to save a mock-up of something to PDF. When I export the INDD file to PDF and preview it, the PDF appears blank.
Help?

Most common occurence for this type of event is that you may have accidentally placed all items on the Master Page.
Go to the Window>Pages
And from here you see a Panel and it's divided with a Line.
Above the Line are master pages - and below the Line are the pages in the document.
You should move any items on the Master Page to a Page in the document.
Hope that helps.

PDF forms increasing in size by 10 to 100x for no apparent reason

Hi. I'm making a series of forms in Acrobat Pro 11
These are very basic documents, they contain some lines, text, and form fields. Think of them like a standard tax form like your W-2's, that is how they are designed. And they are all very similar to each other.
Most of these forms I've created end up being about 50-80KB in file size, however some of them have ended up being up to 6MB in size and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. There's nothing different about them. They are all optimized for web view, they use very minimal fonts (all Arial Regular/Bold/Italic) and most are embedded subsets, and there are no graphics in any of them. If I save as a "reduced size pdf", it goes from about 5.8MB to 5.2MB. I've searched around for any and all optimization tips I could find. 6MB isn't "big" these days, but I see no reason why some of these are 100x larger than others when they are nearly identical in structure.
Is there any way I can inspect the internals of these documents to find out exactly what it is that's taking up so much space?

Yeah, that is what I suspected as well. My question is, how force all fields to use the "private version", rather than embedding so I can correct these large files?
I managed to come across another thread on the forum that you commented on a while back. You suggested running a script, which I attempted (and resulted in error)
The thread: Set default font type and size in formcreated using Acrobat X Pro
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
    var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
    var f = getField(fName);
    if (f.type === "text") {
        f.textFont = font.Arial;
        // Other properties go here
InvalidSetError: Set not possible, invalid or unknown.
Field.textFont:7:Console undefined:Exec
I feel like I'm getting closer to resolving this.. I'm glad I at least understand the issue now. It's been puzzling me for a month.
