Mavericks custom page sizes issue when printing

Does anybody have a solution to why my custom page sizes are scaling my print jobs even though it is set not too?
This issue has only occurred since i updated to mavericks 10.9.3. The page setups were the same ones i previously used without problem.
Default page setups work correctly.
I have tried recreating each custom page size but still have the same problem.
I print mostly using adobe acrobat or adobe indesign. using indd files or pdf's
I have installed all latest drivers and updates for my peripherals in case that was an issue. But no solution.
If i cant sort a solution for this issue im gonna have to revert back and i dont want to do that.

Custom Page Size Issues

I just got a new computer (10.5.8) with the Adobe CS4 Suite and I'm having troubles printing custom page sizes from Illustrator to my Epson Stylus Photo 1280 (can handle oversized prints).
When I was using my old system (AI 10) I could specify a custom page (say, 12"x12") and it would set the print margins according to my printer as well as print out exactly as it looked in the Print Dialog box. No problems.
With CS4, I am unable to select "Custom" under the Media section in the Print Dialog box, and I can only get to my 12x12 page by selecting "Page Setup" and choosing my custom under the Paper Size drop down. When I build my custom pages, it gives me the option to put in "user defined" margins or to choose my printer. When I choose my printer, it sets all the margins to .00" instead of knowing the Epson's defaults like it used to. Regardless of what I type in, my prints are getting cut off even when they look centered and perfectly fine in the Print Dialog box.
I'm at a loss. I recently updated my printer driver just to make sure it wasn't that, but I'm still having problems with the margins and the custom page sizes.
I did have PowerRIP X when I was using my old programs, but I thought that was an issue that was resolved since 10.2. Is anyone familiar with these issues? Do I need to buy PowerRIP X again? I sure hope not (it's pricey!)
Please help.

I would copy and paste your entrie post and e-mail it to Epson.com/support/, adobe.com/support/, and apple.com/support/; there should be an easy answer to your problem. That said, I wonder if the RIP would be the answer. It shouldn't be. From what I hear, Epson drivers are pretty robust. Don't be surprised if they tell you to get a new printer. I mean, come on, how many years do you expect to get outa that thing? Chuckle, chuckle.

Custom Page Size Doesn't Print.

I am trying to make a booklet with a page size of 7.5" x 6.0", with each page being folded in half to make a 7.5" high x 3' wide booklet. I have made a custom template in the Page Setup with the sizes I have indicated. I have typed what I want on the first page, and the paper size is 7.5" x 6".
When I click on Print Preview, it shows the typed page, but when I click on Print, the page is blank after going through the printer. I have spent over 2 hours trying every conceivable way to get it to print, but still no results.....
I have searched the archives here and can find nothing that resembles my problem....
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim

fruhulda: I had sent a sample page to you and you were able to print it... I tried creating a new document as you suggested and the page still comes out blank after going through the printer.
PeterBreis0807: Besides Pages, I also have Word for Mac... I tried exporting it to a Word doc.... the Print Preview showed the doc. to be printed, but the doc. came out of the printer blank.
I have all the paper cut to the 7.5" x 6" size that I wanted, but what I will have to do is print the information on the standard 8.5" x 11" paper, and then cut it down after that... it works ok that way.
It sure boggles the mind as to why it won't print on a smaller piece of paper.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Page Information Issue When Printing

Hello everybody,
I'm a first-time user of the Adobe forums, so please try and bear with me, in case this question has come up way in the past. I didn't find anything while searching. I'm currently trying to print some documents with InDesign, and the Page Information feature seems to not be working (this feature is a check box located under Marks and Bleed in the print settings). When checked, it's supposed to print at the bottom of the file, the filename and the date it was printed. Obviously, a simple workaround would just be add a date and version in the master page, but since this is an internal project and it will be getting updated constantly, I'd like to try and avoid that.
I would note that not all of my files aren't cooperating with this feature, just a select few. Most of the files that use this feature work just fine. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

That information prints outside of the live area. (Along with the other options listed - crop marks, bleed marks, registration marks, color bars)
Items in the Marks and Bleeds are not intended to be on the finished piece.
You DO want to include the information on the master page as a Variable.

Custom Page Size Printing Error Since Updating to Mavericks

Can anyone help me please...
iMac 10.9.4, with Adobe CS4 suite and Adobe CC Suite installed.
I have recently updated to Mavericks and since the update my custom page sizes no longer print at 100%, custom sizes all get scaled down (i presume to fit sheet) and leave me unable to print jobs out at correct size.
The custom page sizes work for builtin apps such as Preview, but my CS4 suite no longer work correctly. I have also tried using Acrobat CC and that gives me the same issues too.
I have googled the problem but have not found a solution and it seems i am not alone either.
Please help as this is rendering my ability output as useless.
All the best
Andy Barrington

This problem is from all Adobe CC & CS4 products i use: indesign, illustrator, photoshop, and acrobat.
My main staple work process is using pdf exported from indesign then printed using acrobat.

Set custom page size for printing

I want to set a custom page size for printing some PDF three and four-page musical scores to roll paper on an Epson 1290 using Adobe Reader 9.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer properties in the print dialog has a media size option, and one of the choices is "custom", but having chosen "custom", the dialog does not allow me to add the actual page size to the lpr printer command. I can see that when I choose "custom", the lpr command is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom etc
but what I need for a three page output, for example, is
lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom.297x630mm etc
and I can't see how to add the actual custom paper size. If I Ok the media size choice dialog with it just set to PageSize=Custom, I can see from the output preview in the print dialog that the actual page size that has been chosen is letter. The online Adobe doc for Reader 9 printing (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/9.0/content.html#heading2.3) says "For documents that are larger than the standard page size, go to File > Page Setup. Create a custom page size before you print your document". The problem with that is that there is no "Page Setup" option on the File menu in the Unix version of Adobe Reader, only a "Print" option, which is where I already am.
If I open the PDFs in Evince, it allows me to add the custom page sizes I want, but as Evince doesn't have the option to print multiple pages per sheet I can't use it either...

Yes, it used to work, and the resize zoom bar used to work too (now its grayed out). I don't know if this is a "who's to blame for it" thing, but its not getting fixed and its pretty bad that no one seems to care enough even to respond. I found my own solution by opening it in Gimp. Just right click and select open with other ...Gimp and it will import into it. In the Gimp Print dialog, you have a scaling percentage in the "Page Setup" tab, and size settings in the "Image settings" plus loads of other stuff including multiple copies.

Printing to PDF (custom page size) from AutoCAD Won't Work Anymore

The DWG to PDF driver provided with AutoCAD 2013 will not save my artwork to a high enough resolution for me to use. See attached screen shots of the PDF's printed by AutoCAD's DWG to PDF driver.
The only PDF print driver that I have found that will is the Adobe PDF driver provided with my Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro software. See attached screen shot of the PDF printed by the Adobe PDF driver. HOWEVER, I can only print to a standard paper size and I MUST print to a custom page size. When I try printing to a custom page size it will no longer let me save the PDF. It simply skips the save window. It used to work fine up until this past week, but when I came into work on Monday morning it stopped working. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it won't work now!
DWG to PDF set to Maximum Quality (400 DPI)
DWG to PDF set to Custom 1200DPI
Adobe PDF set to Custom 4000DPI

Try opening the DWG file in AutoCAD 2013 and changing its file format to an older version of Autocad (i.e, 2010/2011/2012).

Creating a custom page size not working

Hi,
I have Pages 3.0.2 and I wanted to create an PDF for an ad that our playgroup wants to submit in a local paper. The ad needs to be 10cm x 6.2cm so I went to the Inspector dialog and the Document tab and then selected Page Setup. In the new dialog I selected Manage Custom Sizes under the Paper Size drop down and then created a new size by clicking on the + icon. This allowed me to specify a Page size of 10cm width and 6.2cm height. I selected user defined printer margins and entered 0.25 for all margins. I set a name for the page size as 100by62Ad.
All good so far, but now when I select this new custom size in the Page Size drop down I can see the page size and underneath the drop down it says 10 by 6.2cm and click on OK the Document Inspector flashes then shows the A4 sizes again.
Nothing I do seems to allow me to select the new custom size. I can select the other page sizes such as DL fine and see the new page size in the window, but my new custom size refuses to display. I have tried closing down Pages and coming back in but get the same thing. I then tried downloading another program, in this case one called "Stone Create", and selected the custom page size in that program and it worked fine. I got a small 10cm x 6.2cm document to work with.
This seems to be a bit of a bug. Has anyone else managed to work with custom page sizes?
Thanks for any assistance.
Graham

Thanks Peggy,
I tried deleting the preference file and restarting Pages but I still have the same problem with the custom page size. When I start Pages I am presented with a bunch of templates so I choose Blank then I go through my procedure to select the custom page size that I created and always end up back at an A4 document.
I have used the demo version of Stone Create to do what I needed to do with the small page size (ie. create a small ad) but it is a pain that I paid for Pages and now will need to buy something like Stone Create to do what I need. Although, that said, having used Stone Create for this little ad I must say that for the price it seems like a pretty decent program that will do a whole lot of the desktop publishing type of functions without the rather steep prices of the Adobe products. I kind of wish I had bought this program instead of Pages now.
Cheers,
Graham

Creating Custom Page Size less than one inch

I currently have Acrobat 6 on Windows XP, and it appears that I cannot set a custom page size less than one inch (Using Printer Preferences). Is there another method I can use to create a PDF from Publisher that has a page size less than one inch? If not, would updating to Acrobat 9 allow me to print to a custom page size of less than one inch?

Custom Page Sizes doesn't work

I have set up a few custom page sizes but when I try to used them, it doesn't work. Well once in blue moon it does.
I can't find a consistent way that it does. I have read all the online help and followed the process to the letter, but when I select the page size under Paper Size it doesn't change the paper size.

J,
There definitely are problems with Custom Page sizes. I don't have enough specifics to formulate what I would consider good feedback to Apple, something that they could easily act on.
I can tell you that if you set your System Preferences > International > Formats > Measurement Units: US and Set your Pages > Preferences... > Rulers > Ruler Units: Inches, you can create the size you want and it will stay selected and not pop back to the default. Here's what I have:
Again, I know that there's a problem. If you wish, you can use the setup I outlined and get the job done and later take up the cause of fixing whatever is going on with the CM units.
To Fruhulda, you noted that 9 cm by 6 cm is a size that fails as J described - and I confirmed here. However to get a successful size I found that I could use 3.53" X 2.35" (8.97CM X 5.97CM), a very close compromise. There clearly are problems with measurement units in Page Setup.

Jerry

Z3200 won't print to custom page size

Hello,
I've created a banner that is 23"w x 82"h (in CorelDraw Suite 4). The page setup of the Corel file is 23" w x 82"h. I've been trying to print it on the z3200 designjet, but have had no luck. I created several custom page sizes (23" x 82", 24" x 85", 24" x 82") using both the "Printer Properties" dialogue within CorelDraw as well as adding a "Form" in the "Print Server Properties", none of them work. I've set the correct paper (24" wide HP Bright White Bond, feeding from the roller) on the actual printer itself, and in the Printer Properties.
I've played around with all of the different settings that I can and sometimes see the following error message:
[1/1]Paper size selected (width:23.00 inches, height: 82.00 inches) is larger than loaded paper (width: 24 inches). Please verify your printer setup.
When the page prints, it is resizing the content to be 8.5" wide.
I don't know what I'm missing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Karen )

I'm having the same problem here in China as well; and I've talked to the tech support in my region and no help. Called the province HP tech rep and he has no clue at all.
Does any Tech/Eng here could help us? Otherwise there's no reason for me to use you guys machine anymore...

Can no longer create custom page size for printing to PDF?

When printing from FrameMaker to PDF in Windows, I used to be able to create a custom page size by clicking on the Add button that appeared to the right of the Adobe PDF Page Size window, in the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog box. With Frame 9, that button no longer appears; in fact, the whole dialog box is cut off just inside the edge of the entry windows. Do I need to set something? Thanks for any help you can offer. - Cindy Shaler

Cindy,
I am not sure to what dialog boxes you are referring.
In the PDF Setup dialog box (in FrameMaker's Print dialog or Save as PDF dialog), the Settings tab displays two fields to change the width and height of the paper. I tried entering odd values, and the resulting PDF had the entered size. I see no Add button nor is the dialog box cut off.
Maybe I am not looking at the correct boxes.

Word 2011 for Mac Issue with Custom Page Size

I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on my brand new iMac. I'm using Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac and I have opened the "Word Publishing Layout" template (this is essentially Microsoft Publisher). I'm trying to set up custom page sizes by performing the following steps. I go to File --> Page Setup and use the following settings:
1. Settings: Page Attributes
2. Format For: Any Printer
3. Paper Size: I choose "Manage Custom Sizes"
4. I create a 24x36 page and save it
When I do this, Word 2011 (and Word 2008) for Mac will only go to a maximum of 22 inches wide and 22 inches in height. Is there any way around this? I need the big sizes to do digital proofs for my business. I don't want to scale down to 12x18 (essentially cutting the proof by 50%) because when I import it into my other program that can accommodate any size document, I have to do a lot of manual work to get things back to scale. Thanks in advance for your help. If we can figure this out, I'll be grateful.

Page size printing problems with custom page size I created

I have created a custom page size (very small) for printing an advertise I had to print, and now after that operation all the pages I ask to print to any printer are automatically printed in that setup, and sometimes even if I change to A4 manually, the page changes but the borders of the page still remain the old one (result i can not print). How can I cancel the custom page size I created, so that my printers restart to print automatically in A4?
thank you very much

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other comp

Adobe pro - print settings: How do i make a custom page size list, which i can copy to my other computers who have adobe pro installed?

your right.. i ment acrobat pro :-)
my problem is that i use the PDF printer to export CAD drawings as PDF´s.
As it is now, there are some pre-defined page sizes in the print settings, and i know i can add custom pages manually one at a time.
What i want is to copy the list of my danish standard page sizes, and use them on my other versions of acrobat.
Its like 70 different sizes, and i have them made manually on my current computer, but i hope its possible to copy the list to other computers.
Maby its some script where i can define the sizes, and then copy to another computer. Im just not that much of a computer genius :-)
Hope i got through this without to many spelling mistakes...
Thanks for helping.
