Page Size and Rotated printing Bug

When using the DataMax I4208 printer, I cannot use Crystal Reports 2008 as it will autorotate the text 90 degrees as it sees fit to the label.  It is always wrong which causes the font size to be reduced to a super fine font too small for a microscope.  If I change the page size from 4.00 x 1.00 to 4.00 x 4.00 it does not rotate it, it just spits out 3 blank labels with the one correct one.  I cannot find another way to get Crystal Reports to do wysiwyg.

Hi Pat,
Fix Pack 2.3 was just released also and there are more updates to fix printer issues in there also.
A few other things to check is in the report check off Dissociate Formatting Page... this could be one of you issues. Also, use the latest printer driver. CR is unicode compliant and print drivers nust be aware of this also.
Thank you
Don

  • Change page size and get error on Booklet. Why?! Only in CS6...

    Why when we are working with a material of many pages, and all pages have the same measure, and alter the size of each page (in File -> Document Setup), we can no longer generate booklets? I was tested in version CS5 and it worked perfectly in version CS6 gives error:
    "The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet Print works only with documents That use consistent page size."
    I've checked all pages and it all have identical size between them.
    Take a test.
    Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will function properly. After this, go to File -> Size and change the page size of the pages. Now try to create a booklet. Will give error.
    I tested in a couple of macs...

    Well I am having this exact issue.
    I have seen many posts in other areas of this discussion and online elsewhere. As it goes, Adobe is going to get sued for this.
    I paid for a working feature of the software in CS6. Simply releasing a new version and forcing the user to pay for a fix to a problem in an old version is not lawful business. It's extorsion. They did not uphold their end of the bargain on the contract of me paying for a working product.
    The owness is on them now to fix the bugs in the current versions of broken software.

  • Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

    We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
    We are using Adobe Reader 8
    The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
    The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
    The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
    We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application.  The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
    If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all.  The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
    If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer).  This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
    Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
    Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
    Thanks!

    No.

  • How to set the page size and the margins programatically

    Hello,
      I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
    One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set  the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
    But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
    Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
    This is a kind of usability issue also.
    Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
    Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ludek,
    i could solve the issue by using the follwing code.
    report = new ReportDocument();
    PageMargins customPageMargin = report.PrintOptions.PageMargins;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;
    report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
    customPageMargin.rightMargin = 1;
    customPageMargin.topMargin = 0;
    customPageMargin.bottomMargin = 0;
    report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(customPageMargin);
    Thanks for you help.

  • Wrong page size for my printer

    When I try to print an A4 page to my HP CLJ CP3505 in PostScript mode from Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the page size and preview says Letter, and nothing goes to the printer.
    I've checked all possible places and the page size is definitely A4 everywhere in the printer's setting and any place I can think of. Despite that, the print dialog says Letter and I can't find any way to change it.
    Printing to this printer driver from any other program works correctly, including Acrobar Reader, and also printing to the same printer in PCL mode (or any other printer) works fine.
    I'm prretty sure it worked a couple of weeks ago. Don't know when it started but it may have been after upgrading Reader to Reader X.
    I have tried to repair the Acrobat installation to no avail.
    Ideas?

    You should be able to enter the Printers paper choices through the Properties tab.
    If the document is indeed the "Choose paper source by paper size" toggle should suffice.

  • Page size and rulers

    How do I give a page size in the new numbers? I like to see my page as an A4 when I fill in (or design) an invoice.
    The rulers are in points instead of centimeters. How to change that? Any advice?

    Select the menu item "File > Print" then select the page size in the print preview.

  • HTML-DB 1.6 (Apex) Page size and Page Model and monitor size

    Hi everyone,
    We developed our application based on 17 inches monitor. But, today one user told us that she has a 15 inches monitor. Thus, she don't see full page, she has to use the scroll.
    Is it in our model that you can reduce the page size for example 80% size in the page model to fit with 15 inches monitor ?
    Or to define a variable in the page model and have two different buttons one for 15 inches monitor (80% page size) and an other related to 17 inches monitor and more (100% page size) this pourcent should be the value of a variable in the page model ?
    Thanks. Bye.

    Hi Timiche,
    The easiest thing to do would be to make sure that the width of items on the page (especially tables) are set to a percentage and not a fixed px value. This way, the items will spread out to fill the available screen width.
    You should also bear in mind that users can change the resolution of the screens - 640x400, 800x600, 1024x768 etc. It would become a nightmare to try and cater for all possible resolutions and screen sizes by dynamically changing the fixed width dimensions of all objects on a page! I would check what items need to be of fixed width and change all the rest to percentages.
    We tend to inform our users that pages have been designed for a particular resolution - currently 1024x768.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Printing to PDF: prints the wrong page size and orientation

    I am trying to print a simple 60 page document composed of 8 x 11 inch pages to a pdf. I want the pdf in spreads, so that 2 8x11 inch pages in portrait orientation will be next to each other as a spread. Each time I try to print, the pdf comes out in the wrong orientation or the wrong size or both. When I export it to a pdf, it is the right orientation and page size, but the file size is way too large. So how do I fix this annoying problem? I have tried adjusting the print setup but it still won't print right. This seems like a simple operation, but indesign has been giving me trouble with this for weeks. I should mention I'm using CC. Thank you.

    Go to the AdminUI ( http://<servername>:<port>/adminui ), and to Services, PDF Generator.  Pick File Type Settings, and click on the Standard entry.  If you pop open the HTML to PDF section, you can edit the size, margins, orientation, headings and footers, site recursion, and pdf initial view settings.  <br /><br />Save your settings as a new Filetype (you can make as many as you want), and pass the name the filetype as the second parameter to the call to the htmlToPDF method on the web service client.<br /><br />http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/g eneratepdf/client/GeneratePdfServiceClient.html<br /><br />I am unfamiliar with interacting directly with the web services via SOAP, so if you are not using the pre-built GeneratePdfServiceClient supplied by Adobe and this information does not solve your issue you will need to see if anybody else can help.  I imagine that there is a similar String parameter where you place the Filetype name defined in the AdminUI.<br /><br />(edit: I should mention, the GeneratePdf service is a part of PDF Generator ES, not Output ES, so you may have better luck in the general Livecycle ES forum)

  • Is it possible to have multiple page sizes and print types in the same pdf?

    Is it really possible to have a pdf which has multiple pages and each of them have pages which are of different page sizes (e.g. letter, A4, A3) and print types (e.g. Simplex, Duplex)???
    Thanks,
    Phoenix

    you can definately do different page sizes by using different master pages. You can set the paper type for each master page in the object>master page palette.

  • Different page sizes in booklet printing

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a booklet, printed on A4 paper in landscape, with two pages per sheet side, ie so when folded the booklet is A5 sized.
    Using the booklet printing feature of Acrobat this works great, providing all the pages are the same size.
    However I now need to add a couple of double-sized pages, eg for the centre pages and optionally for the outer cover. The nature of these pages is that they are in effect double sized single pages, ie they should fill a whole A4 sheet, not half, and I would prefer not to split in two.
    Is there something I need to do when I create the PDF file from the various source documents?
    Hope the above makes sense but hopefully the following will clarify:
    For 8 page booklet, I want to print:
    A4 sheet 1, side 1 -> page 8 & page 1
    A4 sheet 1, side 2 -> page 2 & page 7
    A4 sheet 2, side 1 -> page 6 & page 3
    A4 sheet 2, side 2 -> page 4 & page 5 (this is a double sized page)
    Many thanks,
    Clive

    Use the Preflight panel. Create a profile which turns on DOCUMENT > All Pages Must Use Same Size and Orientation.

  • 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

  • How to set page size and bleed

    Hi all,
    First of all, I am really a totally newbie for Indesign. My knowledge of Indesign is zero.
    Recently my design send me a artwork but he is missing now. I need to do some modify for printing but I really got no idea what should I do.
    The printing manufacturer request me to set my page as 303mm x 216mm, however my page size now is 297mm x 210mm. After that they need me to add bleed for them as well.
    So any expert here could guide me step by step what should I do?
    I tried myself to go "Explore" > "save" > then change the value of "page size" to 303mm x 216 mm. Then go "Marks and Bleed" > "tick "Bleed" and choose value (top:3mm, bottom:3mm, inside:3mm, outside:3mm)
    However, the result come out my page size is much bigger than 320+mm and 230+mm
    Why? What should I do?

    InDesign is a pretty complex application to learn on your own.
    As soon as possible, acquire a good book on InDesign. My recommendation for beginners is Sandee Cohen's "InDesign QuickStart Guide." There are editions for different versions for InDesign. Less than $20.
