Pages converts hyperlinks to local source in .pdf

We use Pages '09 v4.0.5 in page layout mode to do a monthly newsletter for our MUG. Something I am doing, periodically and not always, causes a hyperlink to become referenced or linked erroneously to my local machine. Even if everything in the document and in the hyperlink box says go to a proper YouTube link. And then we cannot get rid of it. This is the second or third time in recent monthsit has occurred.
In the current instance, in the the Pages version of the document, with hyperlink enabled, a click makes it reference/go to the proper place. Print/Save that file as a .pdf and it goes to the localhost, wrong place.
So, we have another MUG member save the Pages version of the newsletter with the hyperlink turned off and the hyperlink replaced in the actual printed document with the total proper URL - not hyperlinked. He emails it back to me - I do not enable hyperlinks nor even open any link in the document. I can copy and paste that URL to a browser and all is fine. I then save the Pages file as a .pdf through the Print dialog and the hyperlink is active automatically, again, in the .pdf to the wrong location.
One more step. The other MUG member has the Pages version open, with the hyperlink not enabled and the entire URL typed in place. He converts it to a .pdf and emails it. When I receive that email, the link is not active, but when I roll the mouse over the text, not selecting, the little box pops up with the wrong linked reference - not selectable, but still there.
We think this is a Pages bug. How do they get the word (NPI)?

If it is only happening on you machine it is probably there the problem is.
For diagnostic purposes to rule in or out that it is Pages on you machine create a new account an log on to it. Open Pages and do the thing you explained above. does it work now or is it still giving the wrong link.

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

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...

Anybody out there?

Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

Hello,
I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
Thanks!

If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

Do you not get any options after you have selected print
then select Print using System dialogue
which then opend another box , where I select Layout
and can select how I want the document printed.
As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes

I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss. When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version. How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

Hi heathers,
You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

Xerox 7830 fails to obey "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro -- Adobe issue or Xerox issue? Workaround?

Our former office printer (Xerox 7345) had no problem with this. But the new Xerox 7830 fails to obey the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro. Even the "Page Setup" is overridden by the Xerox printer driver. It is extremely annoying to have to go into the Xerox driver dialog every time, regardless of that check in the box and the correct dimensions being displayed in the picture.....

Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
More news next week, after we get the new copier.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Choose paper source by PDF page size not working

I have a document that I printed to the Adobe PDF printer that is 36x24 and enabled "Choose paper source by PDF page size". However, when it prints the size is 16.59x11.56 (A3). Has anyone else had this? I can print it properly by disabling the option and hard setting the size in the properties. I have co-worker that has no problem with this.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and so does my co-worker.

Printing multiple sizes from a PDF - Choose page source by PDF page size is set

I've tried this in both Reader 7 and 8.1. What I am experiencing is this:
A user is printing a document which has both legal and letter sized pages. I have selected Choose page source by PDF page size when printing. The document will print all pages based on the first page. If I print just one page, it will print correctly.

The expected behavior would be to print each page on paper according to its page size. For example, if there is a PDF file with five pages, page one and two are letter size, page three is legal, and page four and five are letter. When I print all pages, the entire set prints as letter. Page three should print on legal. If I print just page three alone, it will print on legal.

Can I convert a ppt file to a PDF at two slides to the page with PDF Pack?

I want to convert a ppt file to a pdf at two slides to the page, rather than one slide to the page. I can do this witha printer. How do I do this with pdf pack?

Hi sandyd,
When you convert from PowerPoint to PDF via Adobe PDF Pack, it will convert each slide in the deck to a page in the PDF file. Unfortunately, there is no way to change that.
