.pdf reads fine on screen but prints very small making it almost illegible

reads fine on screen but prints very small making it almost illegible. What do I have to do? The .pdf is a single page and I have tried to bring it into a screen capture to break it down into different parts but it still remains very small when printed

Here's your answer

View page source shows fine on screen, but prints too small

The page itself prints fine, but the page source prints WAY too small (like 12 lines in about 1/2 inch).

Did you try to zoom in that page via Ctrl and + (View > Text Size)?

PDF looks fine on screen but text does not print

PDF created from Word looks fine on screen but text does not print (graphics do). Alos loses text on FTP or Email. Windows 8.1 64bit. Acrobat XI Std. Word2013. Print to PDF from Word 600dpi, use doc fonts, download as softfont. Arial, calibrai - all fonts lost. Same issue as Phillipio61 and alacker2?.

Problem not with all fonts. Problem with arial and calibri fonts - maybe others. Times New Roman, gil sans, viner are OK for example.

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

Anubha,
It worked! Thank you so much.
I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
program...', it worked like a charm.
Again, thank you!

My adobe reader does not read my pdf files, I think it was screwed up by the other "PDF-READER". I deleted the other "PDF-READER" from my pc, but it still does not work.

Hi wellsfar,
Which version of Adobe Reader you are using?
Is it showing any error message?
A screenshot of the error would be more helpful.

Downloaded a pdf reader on ma fone but its still not opening pdf files

Hello house I use a blackberry tour 9630 and I downloaded a pdf reader on ma fone but its still not opening pdf files ......wHat could be the problem pls I nid assistance

Can you explain the problem in more detail - "not allowing me to access" isn't clear to me. If you get any errors, please give the full wording. If you just don't seem to have any useful functions under TOOLS, make sure you are NOT still running Adobe Reader.

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,
Bryan

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.

Some of my apps on my ipad open but become very small and i cant use them
Has someone encounter thsi problem?
Any solution?

These apps are probably meant for the iPhone/iPod touch. Some apps are universal, and other have dedicated iPad versions.

If the screen is blurry, there might be something wrong with the iPad hardware. That shouldn't happen if the iPad is only one month old. You can try rebooting one more time and see if that corrects it. If it doesn't - and if you have an Apple Store nearby in the Phillipines - you might want to take it to the store and let an Apple Genius look at it.

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
Switching it on had no effect
resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
On IOS 7 no problems
The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

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).

Imported older PDFs view as blank pages but print ok

When I open older pdfs or scanned docs and images they view a blank grey pages, but print ok

Something to try.
Open Acrobat. Go into the application's Preferences (Edit-Preferences).
In the "Page Display" Category -- tick the "Show large images" entry.
Be well...
