PDF not sizing properly

When I go to print my PDF's, it resizes and enlarges and only prints like 50% of the page. What should I do?
Thanks

Check the Printer configuration as the first step ... if there's a fit to page option to check try that first.

  • PDF not displaying properly in Acrotbat

    Hi all,
    I'm having an issue with a document I have created in Photoshop not displaying properly when opened in Acrobat. It is a brochure for my work, that I have worked on and printed many times. When I open it in Acrobat after creating the PDF, gaps appear and other elements are shifted out of place. When viewing it in Photoshop, those gaps are not there, even when I zoom in very close. When we open the file on other computers with Acrobat, the gaps are still there. To test the PDF further, I downloaded some free PDF viewers off the net and the document looks the way it was created, the way it should be. I don't know how to fix it and certainly don't want the gaps appearing when it goes to print. Any ideas on how to fix this? I've never previously had this problem. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Without access to the files it's impossible for us to help. Acrobat will be displaying the PDF "correctly", but why the page contents are shifted is anyone's guess.
    When you save as "Photoshop PDF" and choose the "Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" option, it embeds a copy of the PSD file into the PDF and will open that whenever you try to open the PDF in Photoshop, which is why you don't get the import dialog. Photoshop never even reads the PDF page contents. Turn off that option, save to PDF again, and then open it in Photoshop - you'll see the true PDF page being imported as a graphic, and it'll match what Acrobat is displaying.

  • PDFs not rendering properly with hpeprint or AirPrint

    Both my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 connect to my LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn (connected via ethernet cable to an Apple Airport Extreme) and print most things just fine. However, when I use either hpeprint or Apple AirPrint options to attempt to print, PDFs are NOT rendered properly... the graphic logos appear ok on a PDF document, but text is a complete, incomprehensible mess. I have the latest firmware and software. Any ideas? Despite all the latest firmware and software, could it be a driver issue?Thanks in advance.

    Hi CTU_Agent, 
    Your LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn is a commercial product. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
    You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

  • IOS 8.2 and InDesign / layered PDF not functioning properly

    Over the last week we deployed new iPads which came loaded with iOS 8.2. We are noticing that layered pdfs that formerly worked fine are suddenly experiencing buttons and text and even full pages and components completely disappearing when the document is used on the ipad. Wanted to see if anyone else had experienced this? We are following through with this in some other avenues, but am open to any advice.

    @Tina,
    What you're experiencing is a limitation in the PDF readers on all mobile devices. Many of them do not support all the interactive features like buttons and video.
    Here is an article I wrote a few years ago, but it's still mostly true:
    For Interactive PDF, Not All Readers Are Equal | InDesignSecrets
    You'll need to buy a PDF reader like PDF Expert (Readdle, $US 9.99) to view some of those features.

  • Pdf document not sized properly when print is intiated from Outlook Quick Print

    I have some pdf documents that print properly (fit on printed page) when the PDF is being viewed within Adobe Reader X (10.1.4) and I initiate printing from right within Adobe Reader. However, when the same PDF is printed via Outlook's "Quick Print (with the job being routed to Adobe Reader but not initiated by Adobe Reader), the resulting PDF printout is slightly shifted and sized incorrectly.
    Any ideas as what the problem might be? We're trying to set things up so that PDFs sent to a special Outlook email address are automatically printed without user intervention.
    Thank you.

    I believe the PDF you are trying to print is "larger than A4 in size". When we explicity open Reader and print the pdf doc then it scales down the pdf page size but when you print directly from outlook then it prints as per the original size of the document.

  • Mail attachment (pdf) not showing properly as preview

    Just recently I've received a pdf attachment that showed some (hidden) layers visible in preview. Opening it in Acrobat reader shows no problem.
    Other computers and systems in the company also handle the file properly. No one else sees it the way I see it on my computer.

    Sorry you're having this problem. I think it was previously reported only by Windows XP users.
    When you reinstall, were you making Firefox your default browser? Some users have reported that ''not'' making Firefox the default browser was an effective workaround.
    However, you may have success with this approach, suggested by a user in another thread, which appears to more thoroughly update the Windows registry:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that resolve the issue for you?

  • Multi-page pdf not linking properly

    I have a 6-page interactive indd template that I have been using for months without any issues (well, not these at least), but recently it has been not linking multi page pdfs properly. The pdf that I use is always saved from illustrator cs6 and correlates page to page with the indesign file; page 1 in the pdf links with page 1 in the indd and so on... The issue I am having is that almost every other time I link the file up it behaves differently. Sometimes it will link one page of the pdf to all of the pages of the indd while showing that they are linked to different pages, other times it will not show up at all on the pages, but will show that it is linked in the links panel. Sometimes it will only link one of the pages up and leave the other 5 blank or it will link the pages up with some sort of transparency...
    Now, I am not sure if this is a problem with Illustrator or Indesign because of another symptom: Sometimes when I save the file as a pdf it saves as if it is not a multi-page pdf with different content on every page, but rather a multi-page pdf with every page being a zoomed-out view of all of the artboards together but with only some of the content showing (only artboard 3 and 4, only artboard 6 and half of 1) when it is opened in acrobat. Also, sometimes the pdf when viewed in acrobat looks perfect, but when linked it only does a few of the pages in indesign.
    Long story short, this doesn't make any sense...  I know this is hard to follow and I don't understand why or how it is happening because it seems that every time has a different issue.
    I know that you'll probably have questions and I’ll do my best to answer them, but I'm afraid that uploading files for samples won't work because there appears to be nothing wrong with the files themselves... just the links and/or export.
    Win7, CS6 , 12 gigs RAM, i5

    I have been using this method successfully for quite some time with these exact files, only in the last few days has this problem shown up.
    When I originally made the template in indesign, I imported the pdf, showed import options, and linked the pages to the same page number in the pdf. 1 to 1, 2 to 2, etc. My original thought was that this setting had been lost, so deleted the linked pdf and imported it again to try to get the 1 to 1 link. However, that did not change anything and I noticed that the page that shows up by itself in the pdf is almost always page 2, not page 1. If the page-to-page connection had been lost, all of the pages in indesign would be linking to page 1 as is the default behavior for linked pdfs.
    Also, I thought that the save issue would be on the illustrator side too, so I tried resaving it but that didn't work either. The only way that I can get the file to work is if I remake it completely and save over the old file.
    Now, I know that you're most likely thinking that this is an illustrator issue, but I don't think that it is one or the other, but rather both of them. The screenshots that I attached above are not the only way this error manifests itself. Sometimes the pdf looks right in acrobat, but once it is linked it displays with a transparency, shows only a few of the pages, or shows none at all.
    I'm probably going in circles here, but I cannot figure out which program is the cause of the error or if there are two different issues that are happening at the same time.

  • Links in converted DOC to PDF not working properly

    I need to convert a word doc to PDF and retain the hyperlinks. The links all point to PDF documents in other folders. When I convert the word doc to PDF through word's 'save as' or PDF export, the links get update to web URL-like links that open the PDF document in a web browser. Is there a way to preserve the links so that they still open the PDFs in adobe and not a web browser?

    Hey domallavena,
    Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
    In order to open the PDF links in Acrobat only (not web browser), you will need  to change settings of link by choosing "Tools> Content Editing> Add or Edit Link" Now, right-click on that link and choose Properties from the context menu.
    Then, select 'Open a file' option to choose the file that you want to open when clicking on that link.
    Specify open preferences whether you wish to open the file in new window or existing one and save the PDF.
    Try this way and let me know how it goes.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • Publisher to PDF not working properly

    I’ve created a multi-page document in Microsoft Publisher using imported .jpg’s and .png’s (.png files are text with no backround created in photoshop…most of the text has shadowing behind it to make it visible when it’s overlayed on the backround images
    I’ve put down). When this project is saved as PDF the quality of the .png are severly compromised (look jagged) and the shading/text effects do not reflect what they should. I also have publisher-added shapes behind text in a washed-out white that appears
    checkered on the pdf. Please help!!

    Hi,
    Maybe the file was not saved by using optimized output options, please refer to this kb below, Use the Save as PDF Option within Publisher:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2661393/en-us
    The kb is for Publisher 2010, it can also provide you with some hints if you are using another version.

  • PDFs not displaying properly when switching from multiple monitors to single screen

    OK, here’s one I can’t find online anywhere. When I am at home I use a second monitor on my Macbook. Adobe reader works just fine opening files and displaying them, but if I disconnect the monitor and just go to the single laptop screen, adobe will no longer display the pdf file. Reader stays open and will display the toolbar from the file or files I had open, but it won’t display the actual documents. I have to quit reader and re-open it in order to display my files correctly.
    Any ideas?

  • (Landscape) Splash screen on mobile not sizing properly when device is held in Portrait

    I have a mobile project (AIR) for iPad and iPhone that has landscape splash screens when the user taps the icon. However, when the user is holding the device in portrait mode, the splash screen image opens and resizes a landscape image to show in portrait mode. It really looks bad too! I have only provided landscape images. Do anyone know what is happening here?

    Does your app support portrait? If so, you should be providing the necessary portrait icons.
    If not, you should be restricting your apps orientation. An event is fired off upon orientation change giving you a chance to control it:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/events/StageOrien tationEvent.html
    In my landscape-only apps it's specified in the app XML and then I simply listen for changes. e.g.
    // listen for orientation change
    stage.addEventListener(StageOrientationEvent.ORIENTATION_CHANGING, _orientationChangeHandler);
    // neglect any orientation change that isn't landscape
    function _orientationChangeHandler(e:StageOrientationEvent):void
      if (e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.DEFAULT || e.afterOrientation == StageOrientation.UPSIDE_DOWN)
      e.preventDefault();
    Although this may not even be necessary anymore, the XML should really allow orientation specification limits just like device limits. That code allows the user to use landscape or landscape upside down (Apple requires this) and neglects portrait or portrait upside down.

  • Adobe PDF not working in N95

    in my nokia N95 i m not able to open pdf files last 20 days i think adobe PDF not working properly i want to repair it but how i donn know? can anybody help me to get rid of this prob

    I do not think that PDF Maker has been updated for IE9 yet. IE9 is a recent release and Adobe does not generally work on the final software until the release. They also have to be sure it still works with other products. In the meantime, try just printing to the Adobe PDF printer or opening the URL in Acrobat directly.

  • Lately pdf files from the Web do not display properly; what is wrong and how can I fix it so I don't have to use IE?

    I am a professor and frequently need to open pdfs of academic journal articles from electronic databases. Within the last two or three weeks, when I try to do this using Firefox, only the first page of the pdf displays and the rest are blank. In addition, a bar appears across the top with the message "This pdf file may not display properly." So I have had to switch to Internet Explorer to open the files and do my research. What is going on and how can I fix it so I can open pdf files from the Web in Firefox and have them display properly?

    My question is simple - why would you put an application in production that has a lot of bugs? To replace a good and steady Adobe product? My customers will believe that I put a pathetic fallible form online. They are not sophisticated on computers so I just tell them to use IE. Ugh
    I must agree with pgwebgirl!

  • Hyperlinks not working properly in PDF, converted by Nuance PDF converter

    I have encountered a problem with the pdf files which were converted by the Nuance PDF converter(v8.1).
    When reviewing a pdf file in Adobe Reader X(v10.1.0) the hyperlinks are not working properly in the "fit to window width and enable scrolling" mode.
    The second one, "fit one full page to window", is working without problems. In this mode all links can be used.
    Attached is a screenshot about the two modes in Adobe Reader X.
    This issue is just happening, if the file is converted by Nuance PDF converter.
    Well, Nuance support was not helpful at all.
    Regards

    just the "alias hyperlinks"(don't know the specific name) are not working.
    if I write down www.hp.com it's just fine.
    i've uploaded documents..
    one is created with nuance pdf converter and the other with MS Office Word "save as pdf" function.
    http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentnuanceconverted
    http://www.filedropper.com/linktestdocumentofficesafeas
    so it seems like that nuance is not supporting "alias hyperlinks"..
