Pdf form -- too large font

Hi,
I'd like to fill a pdf form with atril. Unfortunatelly it uses so huge fonts, that some of the letters are actually lolling out of the box. Do you have any idea how to change the fontsize?
Or any alternatives? Acrobat Reader works fine, but I'd rather not use it, since it cannot save the filled form. I've already played around with inkscape, but that's more like avoiding the problem, than solving it
Thanks!

I do the same as dice, in that I try it with various PDF readers (and a web browser if I'm pushing out the boat) to see if they'll work.
Don't know about saving the completed form, because I tend to fill them in and then PDF print it and print to a printer.
And I'd say it's something to do with Adobe being Adobe.

Error Message "Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.

I get the below error when I try to download a response as a .pdf:
Some content on the PDF is too large to fit on a single page.
Please go to the "Design Tab" and adjust the contents, the font-size, or divide the flagged items into multiple elements.
Any ideas?

Go to the Design Tab and make sure you switch to the Page View (look the bottom right corner of the screen)
Once you see the Page View (used to see what the PDF will look like for your response) scroll down and you might see which object is being trucated (it will be covered by a red rectangle). This often happen if you have a element that is too big to fit on one page (like a single or multi choice field).
You will need to adjust your element so that nothing is trucated.

PDF Form in Particular Font 2

I need to create a PDF-form with a particular font. I already embedded the font when exporting from InDesign and set the "Subset fonts..." to 0% as advised to in this link:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/426831
However when I try to choose the specific font (Melior), I get this error-message:
"The selected font has a custom encoding and cannot be embedded ind the PDF-file because of licensing restrictions. (...)
To avoid this situation, use a font that can be embedded in the PDF file, a font that does not have a custom encoding or a font that is known to be on all systems where the PDF file will be viewed."
What can I do?
Thanks for your help!

Thank you, that was what I needed.
So now I know the test PDF document use only TrueType fonts. That means its content should be indexable for TREX but it isn't. There is just message "No document excerpt available" for this document in search results.
Could someone look at the document and try to index it? It can be downloaded from http://www.volny.cz/kabrtz/TREX/indexing_test.pdf

Printing pdf documents too large acrobat pro 10.1.12 and OS 10.9.5

Using my Acrobat pro 10.1.12 and IMac OS 10.9.5, all my pdf documents print about 10 - 15% too large and run off page even though they are standard size documents and print fine using my Mac Air OS 10.8 and Acrobat Pro 10.1.1. The "shrink" and "Fit" settings are ineffective and I don't think they should be necessary anyway since these are standard size documents. Please help!!! THANK YOU

Correctn. My problem came from firefox. Once I changed page setup under the file heading, it worked fine. Seems the new install of adobe somehow changed the setting in firefox to 150%.

Save as PDF Files too large, Remove Embedded Fonts/Compress Fonts

When I create PDF's using "Save as PDF" in Mac OS X, the file sizes are much larger than is acceptable for my application. For example, a recent PDF I created ended up at 1.7 MB and I need it to be around 150 kB.
When I open the file in Acrobat Pro 6.0 and audit the file, I see that 94% of the file size is taken up by embedded fonts. I can then Optimize PDF with Acrobat Pro and remove the embedded fonts. The file size drops to around 145 kB.
Is there any way to NOT embed fonts when creating PDF's with Mac OS X? Also, is there any way to compress with Mac OS X in a manner similar to Acrobat Pro?

Hi LD,
I don't think so that this is possible.
I have the same problem to ... even when I open a existing PDF file that I downloaded from the net. It was 150 Kb an after I work in it to make same changes I save it an turns up to be 2 to 3 Mb or sometimes even more ...
I open de PDF than in Acrobat pro and remove everything I don't want ... I select in Acrobat Pro an select 'optimise PDF'

Scan to PDF files too large! - Why?? Solution for Windows - How about Mac? (HP-8630)

Scanning a document to a PDF file of reasonable size has been addressed many times - it is always an issue! My wife is a realtor and frequently needs to scan multiple page documents. I found an actual solution last night:
27 page letter-size B&W document - Scan to PDF on my HP-8630 AIO using HP software at 300dpi, small file size, BW: 27MB! Too big to email.
Solution (in Windows 7 at least), if you have Adobe Acrobat:
Open Adobe Acrobat, go to File Menu - Create - PDF from Scanner - Configure Presets. Select and configure "Black and White Document":
Select TWAIN device (NOT WIA) as the scanner; black and white, 300dpi, file size one notch to left (smaller) from center, check "optimize after scan". Select paper size and one- or two-sided scanning. Uncheck "make searchable". Save the preset. (The TWAIN driver was apparently installed with the HP installer, since I did not have to look for it.)
After placing pages in the Doc Feeder, go to File Menu, Create - PDF from Scanner - Black and White Document. Watch the magic!
File size 768k! Quality indistinguishable from the 27MB version, sharp and clear, all 27 pages! Really!
Using the HP software, using a lower resolution or sliding the file size slider to smaller makes a muddy scan, and the file is still huge compared to the Acrobat technique. MUCH worse quality than the Acrobat 768k version.
Interestingly, using Acrobat to open the 27MB scan and "PRINT" it to the PDF Printer reduced the size to 10MB, with no change in appearance. "Save as smaller PDF" did not reduce the size further.
What gives, HP?? What can Acrobat do to scan from your AIO that you can't do?
I tried on my Mac as well - we use both. No go. On Mac OSX 10.10.1 with latest HP drivers, Acrobat does not see any TWAIN or other driver from within the dialog box described above. Scanning from HP software again yields about 1MB per page.
Anyone know how to make Acrobat see the scanner on Mac?

Hi @JosephWit ,
I see by your post that you are having issues with the PDF scanning size being too big. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
The drivers for 10.10 are installed by the Apple Updates. Did you install the 10.9 drivers or are did up run the Apple Updates to install the printer?
Uninstall the 10.9 printer software and run the Apple Updates to install the proper drivers. Then you can scan with the Apple Software.
Connect the printer to the Mac by a USB cable and run the Apple Updates to install the printer drivers.
Go to the Apple, About this Mac, click on the Overview tab and select Software Updates.
Go to the Apple, Printers and Scanners, delete the USB drivers and disconnect the USB cable.
Then add the wireless printer as a Bonjour printer if the printer is networked.
Click on the + sign, highlight the printer, below beside Use: make sure just the printer name is listed. (you might have to click on the drop down to select your printer from the list)
Here is a document for Scanning in OS X v10.10 Yosemite Without HP Software.
If you are having issues with Adobe, run the updates. Product updates.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Default UIPicker in UIWebView for html select drop down- too large font.

Hi everyone,
The default picker that is used for selecting options from html select tag (drop down) in a UIWebView is cutting off our data.
I could use labels if it were not in a web view, but can't work out how to adjust the picker used in web view.
The only way I can think is the detect selection using js, overide the picker with a custom picker and then send selection back to page. Seems complicated so i'm trying to find out if there is an easier/better way?
The data is quite long so I do need to reduce font size. As there are quite a lot of options the drop down much more suitable to radio buttons for instance.
I have noted the quick connect framework but seems like an overkill and this is an app that is already live so I don't really want to add a new framework just for an update.
Any advice?

Hi K T thanks for your reply
In the first example of real data that I have used, it is cut off in both orientations. Only one of the options by one character of so but this forces a '...' to be added in the middle and it to be cut off even more.
Ideally I would like to bring the font size down and make it two lines.
Cheers

Linked PDF opens too large

I have a pdf that is at 100% on my screen, yet when it is uploaded and linked to Muse it then opens closer to 200%.
How can I get it to open at 100%?
I have checked with the Acrobat forum and they instructed me how to reduce the file: (Open the document in Acrobat and use ctrl-D to get to the document properties. Select the initial view option and set the resolution desired. Then save and upload.)
I did this and it is now at 100% when I open it on my desktop, but not when uploaded. I have made sure to reserve and rename the document, but it still is 200% when linked and opened.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Please send us your PDF file so that I can look at if possible at

Export PDF size too large

Hello all,
Did a sponsors book up recently with 11 A4 pages full of photos and transperancies.
When it came time to export to pdf so the customer could email it to protential supporters I could not get it to export at lower then 5mb
After trying a few things I finished up coping all the photos and transperancies to photoshop, flattening it there then saving that as a 72ppi jpg.
Then placed that back in indesign under the text and logos re exported the file and it came out as a 1.6mb file YAY!
Question:
Is there an easier way to do this without having to resave the images and transperancies.

Hello Bob,
PDF settings where Smallest File Size default settings.
I did run the pdf through optimizer with no real change.
Downsampling was set to 72
When I change Image Quality to LOW some of the photos where very pixelated.
Hello Peter,
The intended use is so the customer can send out bulk emails to potential sponsors so keeping the size down was what they asked for.
But every time I edited the photos down the photos started looking bad and there was no point sending that out.
Copying all photos and transparencies into photoshop kept thing looking sharp but was time consuming to do.

How can I format fonts when filling in PDF forms with Preview

I have been using Preview to view and fill in PDF forms. The font that Preview uses to fill in the forms is very small and difficult to read. I would like to make it larger to match the document font size.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

How can I adjust the font size, etc., when completing a PDF form in Preview?

I would like to use Preview to fill-out or complete a PDF form. The default font that Preview uses when I begin typing in a field is too large. How can I adjust the font size. And while I'm asking, can I also adjust the font color, weight, emphasis, etc.?

WEB Forms do not display properly with windows 95 LARGE fonts desktop setting

Hi,
We are using WEB forms 6.0 patch level 6 (We tried 6i but had too many bugs with it, we prefer to wait until at least a couple of patches are out, installation was a VERY painful experience for us)
We still have the following problem with WEB FORMS deployed on win95 desktops with LARGE FONTS destktop settings: The forms are not displayed correctly, sometimes there are no scroll bars, resizing a window gives weird results, part of the forms become inaccesible, some forms are blank, etc...
Can you verify or confirm that you have the same kind of problems ? We use jinitiator 1.1.18.
Is it fixed with 6i ? Is it fixed wit jinit 1.1.27 ?
We develop in smal fonts on win95 and recompile under solaris before deploying.
Thanks

Thank you all for your fast asnwers. The "Use hardware acceleration when available" was the problem, I disabled it and I will post a message on my site about this.
The site is on-line in the same aspect since 2005, modifiyng the whole site to fit with Firefox11's default setting is not a good option. At that moment, placing a tabel (alligned to the center of the page) and puting in it the thumbnails with links generated by ExpressThumbnailCreator, than manually adding the description in the HTML view of FrontPage was the simplyest way possible to make the site appear properly on my 800*600 px resolution I used then. Of course, I upgraded my hardware and software since then, but the site remained mostly unchanged (except the index and a few files). I know it's time for a new version of the site but... my web-design knowledges are limited to basic HTML.

Form fields appear normal on my computer, but are too large on client's computer

I recently created a fillable PDF using Acrobat Pro for a client. I have done this many times before, and never had any issues with formatting. On my computer, the fields appear perfect, but on the client's computer they are too large and obscure the surrounding text. Please see the first screenshot for reference. Notice the large white form field on the left side. He has viewed the document both on a Mac (in Preview) and on a PC (Acrobat Reader) and had the same problem. The following is a screenshot of the same file on my computer:
On my computer, the name field appears to fill normally. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks!
Jeanne

That person is using Preview and not Adobe Reader or Acrobat. Preview's support for PDF forms is dismal and it should not be used. It actually corrupts PDF forms (and other PDFs) in a number of ways, so that particular file should not be used again. If they don't want to install Reader, there's not much you can do.

Since installing update on 6/25, printing pdf pages OK, but bank account activity type is too large for the page. How do I shrink the type?

Since installing Firefox v.3.6. 6 update on 6/25, printing bank statements in pdf format is still OK, but when I select the print option for my bank account activity the type is too large for the page. How do I shrink the type? We are running Windows XP.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed Firefox update on 6/25

Firefox doesn't display PDF files all by itself, it uses your PDF reader program which is also what handles the printing of that file type.
As far as the large printed font from Firefox, open File > Page Setup and see what the '''Scale''' is set to. 100% is usually the best setting, but you might need to use a smaller setting.
