Page size

I am trying to convert a file in word file in A4 format to PDF with Acrobat.com.
I noticed that the resulting PDF file is produced in Legal page size.
Is there a way to change the PDF page size to A4?
Thanks all for your help, Simon

Had a phone call from a friend only today on that issue. He created a PageMaker document in A5 and it prints via Acrobat 7 (Distiller) to the default A4. Having used Acrobat since vers 2 I am familiar with Distiller Joboptions and sent him one for A5. Using InDesign this is not an issue since ID can pass the document size to Distiller.
It is an issue with Word 2007 where the Acrobat plugin prints to the default A4 regardless of the document size, unless the default Distiller joboption is changed. Ironically, given the attitude ot MS to PDF over the years, I was surprised to find that the MS Save-to-pdf extensions does in fact honour the Word document page size.
I presume the Acrobat.com conversion to PDF doesn't use the normal Distiller (a server-based converter?) but for non-US folk this behaviour reminds us oldies of the frustrating time when much software was limited to US Letter output. I was surprised that the output Simon reported  was Legal rather than US Letter. Re-frying the PDF could fix the page size but in the process I doubt the original margins would be preserved. Printing US Letter PDFs to A4 and the converse usually requires the printer dialog setting Fit to printable margins and this will affect scaling and aspect ratios a little.
Hence I'm glad you will look at the problem  though I don't personally need the PDF conversion facility.

  • Change page size in PDF (Acrobat 9)

    I have created a PDF file and under document properties it says that the default page size is 11.69 x 8.26 in.  I want to change this to A3, but cannot find the option or any help on this.
    The PDF was created using the PDF printer from an application that normally only prints to A3.  This created a separate PDF file for each sheet of the document, which I then combined using the combine option in Acrobat.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Where did you see default page size? I can see only page size.

  • New preview function for iPad–error message "Multiple page sizes not supported"

    When I try to use the new preview function with my iPad I get the error message "Multiple page sizes within a layout are not supported". I have a page that is 768 x  1296. I would really like to preview this folio before publishing. Any suggestions?

    If you're trying to create an article that scrolls vertically, you can create a 768x1296 article in a 1024x768 folio, but you need to select a Smooth Scrolling option when you create or import the article, or in the Article Properties dialog box.

  • Does 'Export Relative to Page Size' NOT work in Kindle books & some other ereaders?

    Hi I've been looking at this issue that has made the wheels in my head work overtime! I've made a book with pictures for the Kindle store and all the images look too small.
    I've used Indesign 5.5 on a Win 7 PC.  My file has multiple graphic images and I am exporting it as an epub. When exporting from Indesign you have 2 main options when exporting graphics. You can display them Relative to page size, or have them a Fixed pixel size. In age of multiple size device screens Relative to page size is the logical option because it should be able to make images on a page fill roughly the same percentage of the screen size whatever device you read it on. However I am finding that it doesn't function with all programmes.
    I created an epub. Exported it with the Relative to page size option. This works great when viewed on PC with 3rd party software such as Sigil, or in iBooks for iPhone/iPad or Adobe Digital Editions ereader software.
    However the same epub the images DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Calibre ereader software (images display far too small).
    Also, I have converted that same epub (using Calibre) to a mobi. The images in the .mobi DO NOT display relative to page size when viewed with Kindle for PC, Kindle for iPad, Kindle Fire, Kindle Keyboard or Calibre.
    Now. I recognise that my test is in no way universal but something is happening that is making the same file display relative to page size with some software/devices and not relative with other software devices. I've been wondering Is this a bug in the Indesign software or is it not possible on Kindle. Has anybody experienced this. And my main objective is to find out if there is a way, using Indesign or changing the css code, to make images display relative to page size on the Kindle?!
    Any help, thoughts, ideas, knowledge would be appreciated!

    InDesign doesn't have an export to Kindle function. It is not designed to export in the Kindle MOBI format.
    There are many things which are lost when converting from EPUB to MOBI files. I'd recommend doing some reading on Elizabeth Castro's blog where she talks about some of these limitations. Also read her book "EPUB Straight to the Point for her section on converting to Kindle.

    Another good place to ask is in the Mobile Read forums where many long-term eBook experts reside: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/

  • "Indesign CS6 Edit Page Size"

    Hi why have you changed the way edit page size works in cs6 compared to cs5? in cs5 i could use the reference point to decide where i wanted the page to grow. In cs6 it doesnt matter where i have the reference point it adds the size from center regardless of where i have the reference point.

  • How to create a report with different page sizes

    Hi,
    I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
    When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
    Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
    Thanks in advance.
    Marc

    Hi Marc,
    You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach.  This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.

  • How do you can change the page size of a pdf in MAC?  I have multiple pdf documents of different sizes that I want to combine.

    Help.  How do I change the page size of a pdf in MAC?  I have multiple pdf documents in varying sizes I would like to combine and print.

    There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

  • Creating a document with different page sizes.

    I'm trying to produce a leaflet with different pages sizes. To try and explain what I mean I have included a picture of what I'd like the front cover to look like. When producing a booklet there doesn't seem to be a provision to individually alter each page size in the pages or document set up panel. Is there anyway around this or do I have to create each page seperately, export to pdf and then combine into the leaflet? Help gratefully received. tomas

    The build booklet feature is for very basic booklets, not something like this.
    Sorry, but you’ll need to make everything full size and then do the cutting.

  • How to reserve the page size when exporting to MS Excel 2010

    Hello. I have a report which exports to MS Excel 2010. I applied the page size as legal in Crystal Report and would like to use the same page size in Excel
    However, MS Excel print preview says the page size is letter.
    How could I keep the same page size in Excel as I applied in Crystal Report. We have a lot of business reports and would like to avoid applying page setting manually in Excel when users print them out each time.
    Thank you.

    Hi Christine
    I am in the process of writing a doc on the different options in CR and the "No Printer" option sis one of those. Seeing this post, made me wonder as this looked like a questionable behavior. My testing does not support your observations. Now, I did a very simple test;
    Created a report, set "No Printer", set the paper size and legal orientation. Exported to XLS - any format, and the export maintained legal paper size in all instance. I did a few other variations, but I can never get the report to export anything other than Landscape.
    Can you  please let me know the version of CR you are using?
    You may also want to attach the report here with saved data (to attach rename the rpt to txt, then in the reply hit on the "Use advanced editor" link and attach.
    BTW.; I am using CR 2013.

  • 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,

  • Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

    I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
    I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  • How do I set a default page size, orientation, and printer for a particular document in Pages?

    I have a simple label document in Pages which I print to my label printer. The label is 1.49 x 3.47 inches and needs to print in Landscape, and it needs to print to my Dymo label printer. How do I set up the Page Setup or Print Setup so it defaults to this document size, orientation, and printer, every time, without me having to manually enter those settings every time?

    Thank you for your reply. However, I could not get Templates to work correctly for me.  Following your instructions, I opened my document, opened Page Setup, set the printer, paper size, orientation, and printed a copy to make sure it was right. Then I re-opened Page Setup to verify that the settings were still correct. Then I saved the document as a Template. Then I found my template in Pages, opened the template, and tried to print. The first thing I noticed was that the template did not remember my printer. Then I set the printer, and printed, but I found that the template also did not remember the page size or the document orientation. So, did I miss a step here? Lion 10.7.5 and Mac Mini.

  • Defining page size in XML Publisher

    Can we define page size using XML Publisher APIs.
    We have a problem where a single RTF template will be used for different countries and depending upon the country, the report needs to be printed on Letter or A4 or anything.
    I could find a parameter for Orientation but none for page size.
    Is there something we can do for defining page size or we need to rely on the printer setup.

  • Print to different printers by page size

    Hi, i have a problem,  i need to print documents that have inside a lot of  different size pages(a4,A3,a1,A2,A0, a4x3 e.t.c.). Is it possible automaticly somehow to redirect a4,A3 pages to one printer and a1,A2,A0, a4x3 e.t.c. to other while printing whole file. I think this function will be useful in next acrobat version.
    something like this,dewading A3 to two A4 not needed
    to acrobat team:
    Did you thought about function that can make templates to printer like it made in AUTOCAD ? (*.pc3 files). It will be usefull when printer driver is not possible to save alot of page size formats. Autodesk fix this problem by making templates(like virtual printers) through that is possible to print, and in that is possible to save alot of page size formats that don't have original printer driver. It will be great if acrobat could use AUTOCAD *.pc3 templates to print through.

    Hi,
    Normally Outlook rules only print via the default printer, selecting the printers is beyond the control of Outlook build-in rules.
    If you have a rule written via a script, I suggest you post the question and the script to MSDN forum, in which you can get script specific support:
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=officedev
    The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

  • Different page sizes in one pdf file will not scale to print correctly

    Hello all,
         I have a pdf document that contains three different page sizes; 8.5"x11", 11"x17" and 34"x22".  These pdf files are custom manuals and we print many of these over the course of a month.
         In the older versions of Adobe Acrobat when printing this type of file, I could click print, select the page setup size to 11"x17", then select shrink oversize pages (or fit, depending), and choose paper by pdf page size and I would get the following pages from the printer - 8.5"x11" page would print on a 8.5"x11" paper, 11"x17" on 11"x17" and (most importantly) 34"x22" on 11"x17".  We do this because our printer does not have paper larger than 11"x17" yet the customer also receives a soft copy of the file and many times prints the large pages full size as needed on their large format plotters.
         With the newer versions of Acrobat, this will not work.  The only way these files will print automatically is to scale the 22"x34" down to 8.5"x11".   Why would I want to scale it smaller than my largest available paper size?  Also, all of the 11"x17" pages in a multi page size document will come out of the printer rotated 180° yet Adobe shows them correctly when the file is opened.
         Also, when I use the settings above, the print preview box shows the document correctly!  The HP technicians have the latest drivers installed and they have shown me where it seems that Adobe is not even sending the larger sheets but instead stops the printing process with an error.  So I try to send a 20 page document but Adobe stops at the first 22x34 page.
         We have now lost our old computers with every last old version of Acrobat that I could use to make this work due to mandatory hardware and OS upgrades.  I must find a way to print these documents without individually selecting different pages to print and then trying to assemble the document afterward.
         How do I preserve the pages sizes in my document and print the large pages scaled down to the largest paper size I have available in my printer?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Ajlan,
         Thank you for your time.  I am still having the issue.  I am using Adobe reader 11.0.09 and Adobe Acrobat 10.1.12.  Neither one have the option in the print menu that you show for a physical printer.  They only offer that option for an Adobe PDF creation driver.
         It seems as though the printer you have selected in your menu is only for creating a pdf.  I need to physically print the pdf.  Do you have this same option when you select a physical printer?
