.pdf prints very small - full image, but only quarter page

i have adobe reader 10.1.1 for mac.  when I print, the full image prints, but is shrunk to the top left quadrant of the paper.  I have tried to change page scaling settings.  i have also changed advanced setting 'print as image', but none of this seems to work.  i've spent endless hours on this and am hoping someone can offer a suggestion.  this happens regardless of the original application (.xls, .doc, .ppt).

Here's your answer

  • My 6500a prints very small, there are no settings in printer pref. that allow enlargement

    my 6500a prints very small, there are no settings in printer pref. that allow enlargement

    Hello MartyTheArtist,
    May I know  you installed Basic Print Driver or Full Feature Software?
    I am not holding 7110 printer but I have access officejet 6700 and Photosmart 7510.
    Anyway, you should able to see the similar print options if you did install full feature software.
    When you print, under the print advance options, there is an option  called. "HP Real life Technologies".  You may on this option  and it will "automatically remove redeye in photographs and to automatically adjust high-contrast photos to reveal details that are otherwise lost in shadows. I have attached the screen shot for your reference."

    I am an amteur photographer and personally, I do prefer to do post processing jobs in Photoshop first and then use the printer just to print by choosing the apporopirate photopaper and using Best Mode.
    May be you might have differnet preferences way of doing it. I am just sharing my way of printing photos
    By the way, when you install Full Feature Software, you have the option to install HP Photo Creation Software which is very simple and easy to create greeting cards, photo books and many other things. Maybe you might give it a try if you have not tried.
    Kindly let us know if you have more queries
    Cheers,

  • EPrint printing very small

    I'm printing from Outlook 2010. When I print directly, I have no problem. If I send an email to print via ePrint, it prints very small. I think it's something with the driver (HP OfficeJet 7500). Does anyone have any suggestions? 
    Thank you!

    Hi RenewHeather,
    ePrint only renders the job as it comes and it does not change the size of the fonts.  In order to print out the larger fonts, you should change the font size before printing (via the email app).
    If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

  • C3150 Printing very small

    I have a Photosmart C3150, with Win7 using Firefox. Just all of a sudden it started printing very small whenever I print anything from my email or from my banking or actually anything from the internet. Could someone please help me get this back to normal. I don't know what made this happen but it is totally driving me nuts. It is so small I can't hardly even read it. I am having to do a copy and paste everything into a word document and I don't want to have to do this everytime. Please Please help me!
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Thanks for thinking along these lines but no is the answer. I found that printing from the preview screen would give this effect earlier on.
    If I choose file / print or use the print icon in the normal Writer page it just prints small.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? Some how the printer is receiving instruction to print in this way but the print options dont appear to offer a solution. I have tried defaulting the settings but this has had no effect.

    Why do PDF files in email open in safari with a quick time logo but only one page shows and I can't scroll through the following pages?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Acrobat will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license

    Acrobat 9 Pro. will not accept installation on 2nd computer in full version but only trial or buy a new license; comuter crashed with harddrive; could not deactivate; this is a new computer to replace the old, but now Acrobat refuses to accept it.

    Hey mjmselim,
    Using a single user license, you can activate Acrobat on maximum two computers.
    You need to first deactivate Acrobat from the first machine and then activate it on the second machine using the same serial number.
    Please let me know have you been trying to install Acrobat and error message prompts on your screen.
    Hope to get your response.

  • When I open a pdf file on the net, I can only view page 1. How do I get to the other pages?

    When I open a pdf file on the net, I can only view page 1 and cannot move to page 2, 3, etc. How can I change pages?

    See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
    You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an ''Open with'' download window.
    Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
    You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.

  • Error when exporting to pdf - cannot read a jpeg image, but I do not know which jpeg image.

    I have created a document (A5) in Indesign cs6 with 116 pages. Because I would like to print the book I want to export it to pdf. Normally this is no problem for me, but now I got the following error: "Error encountered while reading JPEG image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Resave the image with different settings and try again." This is quite annoying as my book contains 631 links of which most are .jpg. Does anyone know how I can find out which picture gives the error?
    What is remarkable is the following. As it is a very large file InDesign automatically splitted it in subsections (with names like 'A5 V' or 'A5 V3'). To get closer to the problem I tried to export each subsection (all between 3 and 30 pages) to pdf. But somehow I managed to do this, so one might think that there is nothing wrong with the document at all. But when I try to expor the document as a whole again I still get this error about the JPEG image. It takes a couple of minutes (somewhere between 30 and 40% of the exporting) before I get the error.
    Is there anything I should have tried which I forgot? I hope anyone can help me with this problem.

    If you are able to export as sections it's almost certainly not actually a problem with the image, but a problem of not enough system resources to finish the job. This is not uncommon with large complex PDF exports.
    Try rebooting, then immediately open ID and try the export again first thing. If it works, great. If  not, you can combine your sections into a single PDF in Acrobat Pro.

  • PDF prints from Acrobat 8 Pro, but not from Acrobat 9 Pro

    I have a PDF that prints fine when I print from Acrobat 8 Pro, but when I open the same PDF in Acrobat 9 Pro, only portions of each page actually print out.
    All systems running Windows XP Pro, SP3
    A8P 8.1.2
    A9P 9.1.1
    Any ideas?

    Well, for those following this thread or needing a solution, I found a work-around though I'm still not sure why the initial problem exists.
    In Acrobat 9 Pro, once you have the main print dialogue box open, follow the steps below:
    1) Click ADVANCED
    2) Select PRINT AS IMAGE
    3) Set DPI to 300
    4) Click OK
    5) Make any other typical print setup adjustments as you normally would and finish printing as usual

  • Printing to any PDF printer results in an image of the page instead of searchable text from all websites

    When I print to any number of different pdf printer software I've tried, it always yields an image of the webpage but never searchable text in the pdf which is the result of printing to pdf from IE or Chrome.

    I suspected as much.  I was hopeful it was something like a setting that needed to be changed or a reg hack that needed a bit changed from 0 to 1 to make the printing work as expected.  I only installed the local printer to see if the RDP session
    tunnel was in fact causing the print size to balloon so I will continue to instruct users to use that instead of the local redirected printer.  I am disappointed but not surprised.
    Edit:
    Additionally I have tested the functionality of setting the GPO settings for Easy Print to use the redirected printer's drivers instead of the ones used by easy print, by setting “Computer
    Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection”.
    to “Disabled” but
    with no luck.  In fact the printer received the proper Adobe PDF driver, but the job went out into print spool hell and was lost to the ether.  I have concluded that this approach will not bear any fruit.

  • MY PIXMA iP4000 not printing--paper feeds and steps through but only blank pages

    The printer sounds like it is printing----you can hear the print head moving---but nothing prints....
    pages are completely blank. Reseated the connections, no effect. Took out all the cartridges, reseated
    them, no effect. Still only prints blank pages. Connected it to another computer, same---only blank
    pages...nothing, not even a test page or nozzle page will print. Any ideas? Was working fine
    on Monday when I went out of town until Friday. When I tried to print on Saturday morning, only
    blanks pages. Just spent a small fortune on ink for the printer and would hate to trash the
    printer, but can't justify spending more than the price of a new one to have the old one fixed.
    PS The printer is connected to my USB port, as it was for the past several years when it worked
    fine. Totally stumped/

    Thanks, Michael, however, I was on the phone with Canon for some time, and could not get the printer to do anything even off line. Was told the iP4000 is over 8 years old and there are no parts available to repair it.
    So I have already replaced the printer with an iP2702 that was on sale at a nearby
    mass merchandise store. I was intending to replace the iP4000 eventually anyway, as the red was
    not printing as vividly as it once did...more like a purple. Thought at first it was because I was using
    3rd party ink, but even after replacing the magenta cartridge with "genuine Canon", the red was still
    not as vivid as when it was new.
    Unfortunately,as you know,  the iP2702  got uses a more expensive combined color cartrdige
    rather than the separate ones in the iP4000.
    I am suspecting the reported failure of my iP4000 to print may be due to the third party cartridges
    which I was told do not contain a "chip" as do Canon cartrdiges and that may signal to the printer
     to suppress printing.
    Strange, as I have been using 3rd party cartridges for some time prevbiously without any problem.

  • Printing very small

    Hi,
    I am using a Pentium 4 with XP Home PC and have been for many years a MS Office user. In Word I can use a blank page and produce a letter and have it printed on my HP PhotoSmart 7550 printer and its produced as it is on the screen.
    Having recently migrated to SO 7 (3) and producing a non pre-formatted document in Writer and printing it, I obtain a miniscule print at the top left hand of the page (about a quarter of the normal size). If I have a multiple page doc it will print all of this on one page.
    However, If I produce a document using a Writer pre-formatted document, it sometimes prints as usual (such as a mail merge doc) but single page docs print small even if they originate as a Word doc printing normally under MS Word.
    I have looked at 'Options and Configuration' choices but cannot find a solution to overcome this issue. I have downloaded the PDF manual but no obvious solution is identified. I have looked at the 'Forums' and no good!
    Please advise what my problem is?
