Page Setup / Paper Size- custom not an option

Following previous advice to get Adobe Acrobat installed to enable more print options, which I did, I am not seeing the custom paper size available as an option under page setup.
I am trying to follow along with Matt Kloskowski's video tutorial for print presets where he goes in and makes a contact sheet effectively become a triptych print setup. He goes to change the paper size from the standard to 11" x 4", and clicks Page Setup/Paper Size/Manage Custom sizes and enters the new dimensions.
When I go to Page Setup, and choose Adobe PDF under printer name, "manage Custom Sizes is not an option for me under Paper size- they are all standard sizes.
Any thoughts on why this might be?

Set your paper size as a custom size:
1. Open the Pages doc
2. Press shift+ ⌘ +p to open the page setup
3. In the 'settings' pull down menu choose 'custom paper size'
4. Click on the new button and create your custom size and save by pressing o.k
5. Now your custom size will appear in every page set up dialogue.
For my two printers this is all I have to do. The printers adopt the page set up selected in Pages.

Page Setup / Paper Size not saved

Hi,
I would like to change the default paper size for printing from US letter to A4. I change the paper size via File > Print > Page Setup > Paper Size to A4, but this setting is always lost once I close and restart Adobe Reader (paper size defaults back to US letter). I am using Adobe Reader X MUI on Windows XP at the moment, but I had the same issue with Adobe Reader 9.4.1 as well (there the menu is File > Page Setup > Paper Size).
Is there any way to make Adobe Reader remember a different default paper size (other than US letter)?
The printer has A4 as default in case anyone is wondering.
Thanks!

been a while. hope all is well.
The African Stink Ant inhales the spore of a parasitic fungus that causes it to behave in curious and irrational ways. Eventually the fungus grows, horn-like, from the ant's head, and rains down new spores to the forest floor. "All of us here at the museum feel like we've inhaled that spore," says Wilson, "and hopefully we'll infect other people as well."

Print with paper size custom?

Hi, how to print width paper size defined by me?, actually printjob class have the selectpapersize method with differents sizes(a4, a3, a5, letter, etc), but i need have a paper size custom, example 500x450

Unfortunately, there isn't a customer print size api at this time. However, there are two things I'd recommend. First, I'd like to encourage you to cast your vote for the the existing feature requests on our ideas.adobe.com site (here and here).
You might also want to take a look at this post, which describes how you might be able to work around this with a bit of trial and error.
Thanks,

Changing Paper size does not change page break?

I am using Oracle Report R6i.
I have created a matrix report showing months horizontally and items vertically. By default, the report displays a vertical line (Page Break Line) at 8 inches (as shown in Ruler).
I change the paper size in Page Setup Menu but still the page break line displaying at 8 inches due to which only 03 months are displaying per page at Landscape mode. My page size is : 210x230 cm.
How can I extend that page break line so that atleast 6 months to be displayed per page.
Regards,
Luqman

Changing the size used by the printer with the page setup dialog does not affect how Reports formats the output. You need to change Reports page size for this.
In 6i, the page size for Reports is controlled by properties against the Section objects (header, main, trailer) in the navigator.
In 2.5 you would set the vertical and horizontal page size in the Reports property palette for all sections. With the introduction of individual sections in 6i, each section can have it's own page size.
In your example you probably want to change the page size against the "main section" to 13" x 8.26" to get the report to format in Landscape. Also remember to set the ORIENTATION parameter or property to "Landscape" so that the printer is set to Landscape as well.

Paper Size Error: The specified custom paper size is not supported in the selected tray.

This happens when I try to print a web page using firefox. When I copy and paste the same yrl into safari and select that page in Safari it prints without a problem.

Hello Bhumika2 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues with paper sizes.
Seeing that the operating system is 10.5, the printer is not supported on this version. I suggest that you check for apple updates and see if anything is available.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

PDF 1st page prints full size but not the rest

I have one PC that has the following issue when printing PDF's. The first page prints full 8 1/2 by 11, but subsequent pages are scaled down to about 1/3 of the page.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Reader, but to no avail.
This is the only PC it is happening to.

I also have this problem printing photos from an iPad to an Epson WF-2540 printer. It prints only 4x6 and without border (so print starts at extreme top left corner of paper). Borderless printing is not selected on printer. Printing a square photo just crops to 4x6 size.

I'm unable to print or save pdf documents without losing text. Margins are not maintained page to page and text size might not be maintained either.

Printing within Firefox is untenable. I lose text at page break or a right margin. This happens when printing or saving as "pdf" file. Everything works fine in Safari.

Dear user,
You are getting such output because you have checked ON the setting 'Print to file' in one of your previous prints. For resolving this issue, kindly uncheck option 'Print to file' present in bottom left corner of print dialog and then click on 'Print' (See attached image for reference).
Hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks

New problem in page setup; custom sizes

Although previously working fine, while using Pages, custom page set up settings aren't taking effect. Trying to do a business card setting of 3.54 x 2.05 with no margins. It always comes back with a 8 1/2" x 11" page. I restarted pages, then rebooted the mac, and continue having this problem. Other test sizes now seem to be giving me the same result.
I am going to: Page setup, paper size, manage custom sizes.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there. I just tested this and found I was able to change from cm, which is my default, to inches simply by setting System Preferences > International > Formats > Measurement Units to US from Metric.
It sounds like you may be doing this already, so the only other thing I can suggest is to quit the Application you are attempting to set the Custom Size in. I found that after I set the Measurement Units back to Metric, the Manage Custom Sizes still showed inches in the dimensions boxes. But after I quit the application and then opened it again, the Manage Custom Sizes menu was showing cm again.

Pages 5.5.2 custom paper size?

I know you can pick from about a dozen paper sizes from the drop down menu, but can I use a custom size, or is there a way to format for business cards?
thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This forum is dedicated to the productivity application, AppleWorks. It is not a "catch-all" for how Apple computers work. Your question would best be asked in the Pages ‘08 forum.
That being said, as with most programs, when something was working & stops doing so, the usual culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist & restart Pages.

How do I set "US letter" as my default paper size when I open a document?

I'm using Adobe Reader 9.5.5 and Mac OS 10.7.5.
Every time I open a PDF that's been emailed to me, Reader thinks it's US legal size, 11" x 14". Printing the document becomes a mess, unless I first remember to go File > Page setup > Paper size > US letter.
I'd like to be able to set US letter as my default paper size when I open a document. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
Thanks in advance,

I am replying to my own question. I learned that if you right click when trying to open a PDF, you are asked which app you wish to use to open the file. If you click on Get Info, instead of choosing an app, you get this great information box which gives you the option to set Adobe Reader as your default app for PDF files. It even allows you to change all the pdf files you already have to Adobe Files. Yay.

HP 6510e not printing custom paper sizes

I have recently purchased a HP Photosmart 6510e printer. I called HP Tech support from the store where I bought the printer and specifically asked if this printer would print custom paper sizes. I was told it would. I tried to print an invitation on a paper size of 5.5 X 8.5. The printer keeps giving me an paper mismatch error. The paper size shows up in the list of paper sizes, but has an exclamation Point beside it. If I click on teh paper size it changes to 8.5 X 11.
i am using a PC with Windows 7 OS.
Thanks.

Hi,
The Officejet 6510 software drivers for Windows does not have an option for custom paper sizes. I checked for the paper size (5.5x8.5) you were trying to print on and it is not an option under the paper sizes. The only option is probably to have your printer replaced with a comparable Laserjet printer. Laserjet printer have a different software package and the one I checked (Laserjet Pro M275) has a Custom option.
Here is a link to a list of Laserjet printers

Preview 'scale to fit paper size' not working for PDFs

If I have a pdf document that is larger than A4, Preview's 'scale to fit paper size' does not seem to do anything. Even the actual preview of the pages in the print dialog doesn't change when toggling the 'scale to fit' option.
Strangely, my pdf e-invoice from the Apple Store for my new MacBook Pro was larger than standard A4 size, and I couldn't get Preview to scale it.
This isn't a printer issue, as I have the same problem on 2 completely different printers. Also, Adobe Reader has no problem scaling the pdf. I even generated a pdf from Inkscape that was larger than A4, and Preview couldn't scale it to fit on A4, but Adobe Reader could.
Can anyone else replicate this problem?

I have found the answer to my problem. For some reason, the print dialog box I see through 'File>Print' is different to the print dialog when I click the Print icon on the toolbar (which I added to Preview's toolbar and was using whenever I wanted to print).
The dialog you get when clicking the Print icon is missing the 'Preview' option in the drop-down menu, which is where the 'Scale each page to fit paper' is.
It seems crazy to me that using Print icon on the toolbar has this option missing. But at least it's working now!
