Page number to right/left in footer, custom page size

I have a document that is 70 mm wide. In the footer, I want page numbers on the far right or left, respectively. It looks great in my other documents that are 80 mm wide. How do I change the tab in the 70 mm wide document?
FrameMaker v. 10

Change the tab setting for the footer paragraph format.
I have noted that it's often necessary to set a right tab to 0.01 inches less than the footer frame width. If you get a wrap-around, try it.

Rotating 10 number form right to left direction....Urgent

Hello All,
I am new to Java3D.
I am facing some problem from long time in some visual effects.
Recently I heard about Java3D and I think its better to ask help through this site.
Here is the problem that I am facing.
I am designing one site.
On which the client wants to kept some animation images.
As there company had already completed 10 years and he want to put 10years animation on there site.
So is there a possibility to make the 10 years animation using Jave3D.
What I have to do is I have to rotate 10 number from right to left continuously. What I mean is
At starting 10 number had to display.
Next 10 number have to start rotating from right direction 10--->
Next 10 number have to view its back side after some moment as 01
Next after some moment it have to come to its origional direction from left hand side as -->10
So that the viewer can feel that 10 is rotating from right direction to left direction.
---------> 10 ---------->
I know that there are too many graphic tools to develop this, but due to limitations in budget I have to complete with coding itself.
Hope You all understood my problem and I will get the solution through all of you.
Can any one suggest what to do, or coding if any.
Thanks,
RajivChowdary.

Hello All,
One of our friends didn't get what I am asking (with subject :- Rotating 10 number form right to left direction....Urgent), that's why I am explaining my problem again.
Number (like 9 or 10 or 11 or...) has to rotate in 360 degrees.
We are all familiar with rotating " 3D gif's" like rotating globe and email rotating in 360 degrees.
Like wise I want to rotate numbers in 360 degrees using java3D.
Set area size with 100 X 130 with some background color and 10 number with stand-alone position.
Then 10 number have to start rotating in 360 degrees, starting from right direction to left direction, within the same place.
And this process has to be going on until next page has called.
This animation had to be placed before the company logo, notifying that out company had completed 10 years.
I know that there are too many graphic tools to develop this, but due to limitations in budget I have to complete with coding itself.
Hope You all got my problem.
So please suggest or instructions what to do, or coding if any.
Please explain in detail, because I am new to java3D
Thanks,

[JS CS5]How to get Custom Page size

I've been searching the answer of this simple question but looking no way around.
I have an InDesign document with different page size e.g. left page width is 621 pt. and on the same document right page width is 837 pt.
Now I need to get the width of pages using script but app.documentPreferences.pageWidth return standard document preset size(621 pt.) not the custom page size.
Does any one have the Idea to get custom page size using script.
Thanks in advance
Mac

Mac,
as documentation is showing there are some new properties of "page" since InDesign CS5.
Among those is:
bounds Array of Measurement Unit (Number or String) readonly The bounds of the Page, in the format [y1, x1, y2, x2].
So:
myPage.bounds
and pageWidth of the documentPreferences might be:
myPage.bounds[3]-myPage.bounds[1]
unless myPage is transformed (e.g. rotated and/or sheared and/or scaled) with:
myPage.transform()
void transform (in: CoordinateSpaces, from: varies, withMatrix: varies[, replacingCurrent: varies][, consideringRulerUnits: bool=false])
Transform the page item.
var d = app.activeDocument;
var myPage = d.pages[0];
var oldPB = myPage.bounds;
var rAngle = -45;
var sAngle = 40;
var myTransformationMatrix1 = app.transformationMatrices.add({counterclockwiseRotationAngle:rAngle});
myPage.transform(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR, myTransformationMatrix1);
var myTransformationMatrix2 = app.transformationMatrices.add({clockwiseShearAngle:sAngle});
myPage.transform(CoordinateSpaces.INNER_COORDINATES, AnchorPoint.CENTER_ANCHOR, myTransformationMatrix2);
var newPB = myPage.bounds;
$.writeln(oldPB);
$.writeln(newPB);
Now oldPB and newPB will differ a lot.
So, the question remains: what is a reliable way to show if the myPage was or was not transformed against documentPreferences.pageWidth or if myPage is of rectangular shape at all. See the possibility of adding a sheer angle to the transformation matrix. Also see screen shot:

Customizing page size and layouts

Three topics:
CUSTOM PAGE SIZE. There have been lots of requests for the ability to set custom sizes. One "easy" way would be to create page margins in the same way that padding allows cell margins. This way, a user can create (for example) a 10.5x9.5 "page" on a 12x12 platform. Particularly for those of us printing our own, it's one way to allow customization. All of the built-in layouts would then have to be scaled to fit within the page margins.
If this is done, the next logical extension would be to add a few common paper sizes to the Book Settings. This way, a user could create virtually any page size. For example 14W11H on a 13x19 sheet.
COPYING LAYOUTS. Would also be great to "copy-paste" layouts. After I pick a starting layout and then adjust cell padding, move captions, change fonts, and so forth, I'd like to replicate that elsewhere. In fact, I'm trying to create a left-page/right-page 11x11 on the 12x12 platform using cell padding, and it would be great to copy my customized "left-page" layout to all the left pages.
HIGH-QUALITY PRINT YOUR OWN. I've not yet tried printing via exported pdf on my local printer. Will it be as high resolution and as well color managed as if I printed directly from the Print module? I use icc profiles (some from vendors, some custom created) specific to each paper. I've now spent a lot of time narrowing choices of dual-sided paper to print my own books and I don't want to lose that capability.

Printing from the exported PDF. The quality I get is exactly just as good as printing any file directly.
I have two methods but they are for my Mac system, but I guess you can interpret them if you are on windows.
1 Set the desired parameters for the PDF in the book module (quality, profile to embed etc) and export to a folder
2 import into Photoshop and adjust the parameters if necessary
In Photoshop "save as" whatever file you wish which you can then print normally from PS or else import into LR and print with profiles from there
3 Printing from the PDF by opening in Adobe Reader, setting Page Setup and then "file-Print"
In Mac choose your paper preset, and under Copies and Pages drop down menu you can find print settings (color adjustment "off" etc.) and under color matching on Mac I choose Color Sync, and "Other Profiles"
which shows me all my custom paper profiles
Sorry for the long post
Another simple way on the Mac is to <right click> or <Control click> on the PDF file and choose "Open with Preview" It's important to choose the correct color profile in the Book Module before exporting to PDF so that the correct profile is used in Preview

Custom PDF page size errors

When printing to PDF to a custom size of 36x85 or 85x36 the adobe PDF writer doesnt do anything. THis happens from any program I try. If I Select a size of 82x36 the PDF creator with create the file. I can even print 92 x 92 with no issues, just not anything that is 36 x anything greater then 82 inches. This is being done in Windows 7 64 and I cant duplicate this issue 100% of the time in versions 9 and X standard on multiple machines.
The interesting thing is that if i try to print a PDF from within Acrobat 9 or X, it will print 32 x 82 fine, but when printing 85x36 or anything 36 x 82 or greater, it gives me the following errors:
"The document could not be printed"
"There were no pages selected to print"
So my question is, why cant i print to this size? Is there a ratio limitaiton to printing custom page sizes using the Adobe PDF printer?
Any assistance anyone can give me with thsi would be very much appreciated.
--Update--
If I try this same size on a windows XP 32bit machine with Acrobat X Standard it works fine. Not sure what the issue is with Windows 7 64 and Acrobat 9/X in regards to custom page sizes.

Not sure if you ever found a cause to this but I wanted to post my solution here because I've seen may people posting about the same issue and the solution/workaround that you came up with is the exact configuration that causes the error for me.
After looking through several forums, nothing worked. I'm running XP 32-bit with both Acrobat X Pro AcroReader X trying to plot to an HP DesignJet 800ps. I had never had any problems printing with Acrobat X until our IT dept. upgraded the print server from Win2003 server to 2008R2. I don't believe there were any new drivers installed for the plotter as it's an older model but the hardware/OS upgrade changed how we installed drivers. The technical details are beyond me.
So suddenly, for whatever reason, I'm now getting this no pages selected error. After unsuccessfuly trying several solutions that others reported to work for them I was determined to figure out why it wouldn't work for me.
What I found is probably just another in the handful of workarounds but I'm posting it here just in case it also works for you. In the print dialogue, click the Advanced (print setup) button. In the Output tab(?)/window(?)/area there is a check box default checked on for Use Maximum Available JPEG2000 Image Resolution. I uncheck this box. Back in the main print dialogue at the bottom right there is a Page Setup... button. In there I changed the page orientation to Landscape to match the orientation of my document. I had already specified this in the printer properties window, and in the main print dialogue it was set to Auto Portrait/Landscape (which oddly if I select just landscape it crowds the job to the top left of the page).
Like I said, these were the only two things I changed and it worked so if you're still reading this hopefully it will solve your problem too.

Help with custom page size support for non standard paper

Firstly, we appreciate any support you may be able to provide, we have already thrown considerable effort at this and it has been very time consuming and frustrating.
To support a number of business functions need to print to (non standard) continuous and mulitpart paper on a dot matrix printer. The (test) Mac is a 10.4.11 G4 laptop, the printer is an Oki Microline 520 (9 pin 80 column, IBM Proprinter, Microline or Epson FX personalities with a parallel interface) which has been networked via a HP JetDirext Ex Plus print server. That part appears to be operating correctly.
We have tried a number of drivers / printer personalities with varying levels of success:
ESP / EPSON 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Epson FX personality
ESP / OKIDATA 9-Pin Series CUPS v1.1 / Oki Microline personality
Ghostscript / epsonc / Epson Dot Matrix Foomatic PPD / Epson FX personality
Ghostscript / ibmpro / IBM ProPrinterII Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
Ghostscript / okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin Foomatic PPD / IBM Proprinter personality
There were no appropriate drivers in Gutenprint (5.2.3 version) The most successful is the okiibm / Oki Microline IBM compatible 9 pin settings, it can print A4 and honors the Printer Features Resolution settings in the print dialogue.
Q1: Should we see anything in the Printer Info / Installable Option, it is always blank ?
The issue is custom page sizes, we can manage / add Custom Pages Sizes via the Page Setup / Paper Size interface and they draw on the screen OK but they do not work at the printer (various issue at the printer such error messages, junk printing and wrong orientation):
Q2: Are we heading in the right direction or is there a better way to handle this ?
Q3: Would 10.5 solve all our problems, are the print drivers any better ?
Q4: Is this the correct way to specify custom page sizes, is this all we need to do ?
Q5: Is so how do we get the driver to respect the size, do we need another filter or something ?
Q6: Is it possible to add (by hand) custom page sizes to the ESP drivers or Foomatic PPD files so they they appear as a "standard" offering in the Page Setup / Paper Size interface ?
Sorry for the long / complicated post and thanks in advance for any advice / assistance.

Testing on 10.5.7, Tried both Oki 9-Pin Series 1.3 / Microline personality (no joy) and Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 (this is a much better driver than 1.1) / Epson FX personality but not much joy with custom page sizes,
The Oki 9-pin Series 1.3 and the Epson 9-Pin Series 1.3 should produce the same results. The only difference in the PPDs is the printer model name.
After some testing, I find that the output is not the same despite the two PPDs being virtually identical. I did spot in the CUPS source code for the rastertoepson filter that there is some model name matching for Epson printers. Thus I can see where the output using the Oki 9-pin PPD could be different than when using the Epson 9-pin PPD.
but again once I imbedded the page size into the ppd some (but frustrating) luck. I can get it to respect the paper orientation and it prints well but I could not get the form length to work properly. At best over a print run of 7 labels it would creep up the label by about 0.1 inches / 2 mm.
Just for the fun of it, I made some additions to the Epson 9-pin 1.3 PPD. All I can say is that I could print a job to file. I have no way to know what it would look like on paper.
I did find that using a custom paper size did add some unwanted margins to the output bounding box. Putting the custom page size into the PPD seemed to get around that issue.
I added the following lines to the Epson 9-pin PPD 1.3--
<pre style="overflow: auto;font-size:small; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #222; background: #ddd; padding: .3em .8em .3em .8em; font-size: 9px;">*PageSize Label1/Label1: "<</PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion Label1/Label1: "<<PageSize[288 107.8]/ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*ImageableArea Label1/Label1: "0 0 288.00 107.80"
*PaperDimension Label1/Label1: "288.00 107.80"</pre>
This adds a paper size with the 4 inch (288pt) width and 1.5 inch (107.8pt) height. That represents the 1.4 inch label and the 0.1 inch gap between labels. I set 0pt margins except for the bottom where is set the 0.1 inch (7pt) gap as the bottom margin.
The full diff in context is--

Custom Page Sizes - How to change from centimeters to Inches?

Hello,
I'm working on some panoramic prints to an Epson R2400 and I need to set up a custom paper size for printing to roll paper. When I select Custom Page Sizes from the Page Setup dropdown, all my measurements are forced into centimeters. Even if I try and specify it to be in inches when I type in the values, I get an error saying "Invalid Number" because of the " (in mark designation).
And because the input box only allows two decimal places, I can't get accurate inches-to-centimeter conversions because the sizes I need are 3+ decimals when converted to centimeters.
Searching on the web I've come across many pages with info on the Custom Page Sizes dialog box and the images show the values being set in inches, but I've found nowhere that says where you specify where I can change this default measurement?
If anyone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kristin.

Answering my own questions.
Because I'm Canadian, in Preferences -> International -> Formats I needed to change "Measurement Units" to "US" instead of "Metric".

Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF. The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648". However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing. Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes. I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional. I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin. I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel. Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None. I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top). However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it. I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space. When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None. I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward. It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly. Is there actually a way? Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets. Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are. In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog. That is not possible, of course.

Actually, I found a way. The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small. If I enter a big enough number, it sticks. It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
Thanks.

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.

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.

Page has a custom page size message

On the master pages, on a locked layer, we have a frame whose content is set to "Undefined" that is sized to exactly match the page size. This is so the page trim can easily be seen and measured in PDF and when printed and we've never had any trouble with it before.
We have a file in which when we change the starting page number that frame goes out of position by 9 pts toward the outside of the pages. When we reapply a master to that page (even if its the SAME master) we get the message "Page ## has a custom page size. This page can retain its current size or be resized to match the new master."
If we select "Keep current size" the outer frame to mark the page trim stays in the wrong position. If we select "Use master page size" that frame gets set correctly.
I've checked the page size at all stages using both the page tool and the button on the pages pallet and it shows the page size to be exactly what the rest of the pages and the document are set to, so I don't understand why I'm getting this message.
The first problem I was made aware of with this file is that when we ran our script to auto flow text the script was overriding the master items on to the page in the wrong position. Thinking it had something to do with the script command (which works correctly on other files) I posted this http://forums.adobe.com/message/5206889#5206889 to the scripting forum.
Now that I've been made aware of this custom page size message I'm thinking this and the script not working correctly are related.
Thanks for any insight anyone can offer.
Ken

I wondered whether my operator had accidentally changed the page size with the page tool selected and that the sizes showing in the dialog and on the tool bar were, maybe, rounded. When I saw your message I was hopeful that, maybe, the preflight would detect an incorrect page size.
But, alas, it did not! It is showing on errors.
Thinking that maybe InD was "seeing" the frame that was sitting outside the page as making the page larger I tried repositioning it and removing it before applying the master. But, I received the message again.
Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Saving Adobe PDF Page Size without Admin Rights?

Ok to get started, to define the limits of my environment for replication:
I'm using Windows XP SP3 and have tried Adobe Acrobat 8, 9, and X, my computer is on a network at work, and my user rights are limited.
Open Printing Preferences, Click Add...
The "Add Custom Paper Size" window appears, give a new name and define sizes of the paper.
Lets say I'm printing to a large format say 36" Tall by 108" Long (3ft x 9ft)
Click Add/Modify, the window goes away, focus again on Adobe PDF Printing Preferences. Click the drop down box for Adobe PDF Page Size:
The page size I just added to the list is not there!
The solution to the this problem is to have Administrative Rights to your machine in order to add custom paper sizes.
Note to Adobe Acrobat Programmers/Designers: please redevelop this feature to allow users to add paper sizes without Power User or Admin Rights. In a secure network these rights are not easily given out to every Dick and Jane that uses your software.

Interesting post, and for once, something one should be able
to work with.
I have a similar problem:
We're using a software distribution tool to install
msi-packages via rpc. Trying to distribute the latest flashplayer
works fine, but the users can't open flash-files, whether with
firefox nor internetexplorer tried 6 and 7 with latest patches.
I've found two possible ways to install a flashplayer plugin,
but both require manual input, which is just not possible for
>100 Clients. just to mention: clean registry and then install
with admin rights or just run the installer with admin rights from
the local machine.
Another problem is, that our company security policy
prohibits from using admin-rights for most installations.
is there any workaround?
regards
Matthias Hilpert
ps: /sticky or at least a FAQ :-)

Customizing PDF page size

I have a 5 x 3 (index card) template in Word 2007 - in Portrait
I want to create a PDF of this document that I will use on an iPod Touch
When I Print Preview in Word, I get the 5 x 3 size preview. Looks perfect!
I selected Adobe PDF in the Printer Dialog box - clicked Properties - Adobe PDF Settings tab - and Added an Adobe PDF Page Size of 5 x 3 named "Index Card" - then selected it in the Adobe PDF Page Size drop-down.
When I print to PDF, I get my card printed on 8.5 X 11 in landscape - with the text a small portion of the page - centered and right justified.
I want to see a 5" x 3" pdf page size with my text filling the page.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Acrobat 7.0 Standard.

Thank you, GKaiseril. Your suggestions helped me resolve this.
For the record, here's the steps:
In MS Word, File > Print > Click Properties button > Click Adobe PDF Settings > Click ADD and create a custom defined "Index Card" size (Width = 3, Height = 5) then click Add/Modify to close the Add Custom Paper Size dialog box.
Verify that the Adobe PDF Page Size combobox shows "Index Card"
In the MS Word Print Dialog Box, select Adobe PDF as the Printer, and in the lower RH Corner, in the Scale To Paper Size combobox select "Index Card".
I found that I have to set the Scale To Paper Size combobox each time I print, or it defaults back to "Letter".
Hope this helps!

Custom page size - Serious Frustration

Acrobat is used to setup alot of our work for output. When creating custom page sizes for different jobs, there is no order in the pull down menu for the custom page sizes.
How can I set Acrobat Pro or MacOS X to display the custom page sizes in a numerical order ??
I have tried under both MacOS 10.3.9 and 10.4.2 using both Acrobat Pro 6 and 7. The result is the same. The list of page sizes might be something like this when selecting the pull down menu:
200x410
186x250
350x475
215x275
....etc.
Currently I have ~100 different custom page sizes for different impositions, the only way to work it is a. to search for the right size or b. try to remember where in the list the required custom size is.
There is logical no order to the custom page size listing. Not even deleting existing sizes and recreating in the required order works. Interestingly, when creating a new size the existing sizes appear in numerical order but not when selecting from the pull down menu.
Please help.

I've discovered that this is a SYSTEM issue, NOT an Adobe issue. The custom page setups are also out of any order in "Mail", "TextEdit", "InDesign" etc. etc. The other apps that I use typically have their own paper size interfaces not requiring to use the default apple one. (Eg. Quark / InDesign).
To prove this point I deleted the custom paper settings in Acrobat so that just the default sizes existed and then went into TextEdit and recreated some custom paper sizes using the Page Setup interface. Again, created custom paper sizes DO NOT list in either numerical or chronological order.
The apple system file which controls this is called "com.apple.print.custompapers.plist"
I found this entry on the macosxhints forum:

2 other users noting frustration with the same problem, but it doesn't offer any solution
Is anyone familiar with hacking ".plist" files? Maybe there is way to edit the file to adjust it to a logical order.

Custom landscape page size - - content squashed portrait

I'm trying to create a PDF for an MS PowerPoint file with a very large page size, 46" x 36" (landscape). I'm using Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP.
In keeping with guidelines at www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad46c/0 I selected the printer properties and created a new form with the desired values, entering the dimensions as if it were portrait, 46" height and 36" width. I also created a custom Adobe page size using the same dimensions. Under "Layout" I chose "landscape."
The output file has the correct dimensions with a landscape orientation. However, the content is squashed onto the left side of the page with a very wide left margin, as if Acrobat were trying to fit the content into portrait-oriented dimensions. Words are overwritten on top of one another and it looks horrible.
Just to check, I went back into the form preferences and the page size and individually changed first one and then the other to have the correct landscape height and width. Neither approach worked.
Any thoughts?

Oops, sorry, looks like I'm in the wrong forum.
