PDF scale to fit

Hi,
i was wondering if there is an option in Indesign CS2, to set the page scaling of an exported PDF document to scale to fit the window.
so when you open a exported pdf, that it automatically resizes to fit.
thx for your help!

>ID allows you to set just a few PDF settings: those you already can see in the PDF export box, there are no "hidden" ones.
There is a response in a thread in the mac forum that may have some bearing on this. But I think that it relies on a feature of "variables" which is new in IDCS3 (not sure about that).

  • Preview 'scale to fit paper size' not working for PDFs

    If I have a pdf document that is larger than A4, Preview's 'scale to fit paper size' does not seem to do anything. Even the actual preview of the pages in the print dialog doesn't change when toggling the 'scale to fit' option.
    Strangely, my pdf e-invoice from the Apple Store for my new MacBook Pro was larger than standard A4 size, and I couldn't get Preview to scale it.
    This isn't a printer issue, as I have the same problem on 2 completely different printers. Also, Adobe Reader has no problem scaling the pdf. I even generated a pdf from Inkscape that was larger than A4, and Preview couldn't scale it to fit on A4, but Adobe Reader could.
    Can anyone else replicate this problem?

    I have found the answer to my problem. For some reason, the print dialog box I see through 'File>Print' is different to the print dialog when I click the Print icon on the toolbar (which I added to Preview's toolbar and was using whenever I wanted to print).
    The dialog you get when clicking the Print icon is missing the 'Preview' option in the drop-down menu, which is where the 'Scale each page to fit paper' is.
    It seems crazy to me that using Print icon on the toolbar has this option missing. But at least it's working now!

  • Printing Keynote presentation-scale to fit

    is there a way to print a keynote presentation to scale to fit different paper sizes? E.g. I have a 800 x 600 presentation and I want it to print to the maximum size on a tabloid page (same for 1024x720, 1920 x 1080, custom, etc). Ideally this would be handled directly out of keynote, but changing the percentage of output under page setup has NO effect...this seems so basic, there's got to be something simple I am missing.. can anyone help?
    btw: exporting to pdf only to then print seems like an extra step and creates a duplicate file I would rather not have to keep up to date with changes...
    anyone?

    Hi
    I am having the same problem but with larger poster size slides. I have ended up making PDFs from Keynote.

  • How to default Preview/Finder to print "Scale to Fit Print Entire image/Fill Entire Paper"?

    Hello all,
    I have to print PDFs. Preview or printing directly from Finder prints scaling 100% and many many times the edges of the PDFs are left outside of the printing area. I have the correct paper size selected (A4) and actually the PDFs are also A4 but for some reason 100% zooms in a bit and cuts the sides of the print outside.
    I can of course fix this by selecting Scale to Fit and Print Entire Image but I do have to do this every single time I open a PDF. I want to make this option my default! And preferrably so that I can use CMD+P from Finder to print directly without having to open the PDF. I already know what is in it...
    I have tried different Terminal tricks I have found searching the web but no luck, this and others with Preview closed before executing the command
    defaults delete com.apple.Preview PVImagePrintingScaleMode
    Please help and make my life easier. Cannot be this hard.

    I got a work around for this. Instead of using RTF template, I used Microsoft Excel itself as template and did the formatting in excel.
    thanks,
    Vijay

  • How do I Configure Desktop Printer to scale to fit?

    I love the feature of drag and drop printing and I often need to print many pdfs. However when I drag pdfs to the desktop printer icon it prints them on letter sized paper without scaling them to fit. I have configured the printer in the setup utility to print on tabloid but it still prints on letter with no scaling. How can I configure the desktop printer to scale to fit and select paper size? booya

    Hi Daniel, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Doesn't your printer have a setting for the default size in it rather than just on the Mac?
    What size are these in the first place?
    I think the secret is to save the Tabloid size as a Default, but I don't have a Tabloid to test with, so I used Preview, (which you may end up having to use to drop on or Script to, dunno yet).
    I made a new Page size of Tabloid...
    Then saved as default...
    You'll have to test this... not even sure it works to Scale to Size, but at least you could drop them on Preview then +p to see.

  • Report generation doesn't scale to fit

    The layout option, "Scale front panel to fit" in "Easy Print VI Panel or Documentation.vi" (in the report generation pallette) doesn't do anything.  In fact, if I dig into that vi, it goes through to "Report Gen VI or Documentation.vi", and I find that the  layout option isn't wired to anything!  Is this a known problem with that vi?
    My application requires that I print the front panel as part of a user log, and I need to be able to scale to fit in order to squeeze it onto the page.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Charlie

    Hi Charlie,
    The layout option is not wired to anything in the Standard, HTML, Excel and Word Report, but it is used in the Quick Print default case.  The Help document for this VI mentions that the layout option is ignored on Standard and HTML Reports but does not mention the Excel or Word Reports.
    This was discovered a little while ago in this discussion forum.  And a report has be filed to R&D by Ben.

  • Set "Scale To Fit Media" as default in Photoshop CS6 print settings on OSX

    Quite frequently my boss will email 10 to 30 images to me to print from his camera. Is there a way to setup Photoshop CS6 print settings so that "Scale To Fit Media" is the default. I tried to create an action and then through Bridge select a folder and Batch send the files to Open-Print-Close. Since images are never received 8.5"x11" it would be convenient to have this as a default. Since the print settings revert, or aren't defaulting to "settings last used", my batch attempt was unsuccessful. I know I could edit my action to adjust image size to page dimensions, but thought a way to edit the Print settings default must be out there somewhere. (Using MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.4) Any Suggestions?

    Unfortunately "Scale to Fit Media" isn't a toggle. But let's try a workaround.
    You can create an Image Size action where you will scale the picture to either 8.5 inches wide or 11 inches high, whichever works best for you. First be sure "resampling" is turned off under Image > Image Size.
    You would open an iimage, then create an new action, title it "Letter 11 inches" and that's when the recording starts.
    Enter 11 inches as the Height, click OK and then stop recording.
    This is a quick and dirty action and assumes all pictures are portrait and not landscape. It may just work for you.
    You should be able to include it in your batch processing.

  • Feature request: Scale to fit (Smart Scale)

    Hello,
    When I either drag a layer from one doc to another, when I drop it, or even via copy and paste, it would be nice to have a SCALE TO FIT option.
    Often when working with different resolution images, you still need to make them fit. Either scaling down to fit target document size, or scale up. Kind of like a Super Smart Object.
    If you have different ratios, i.e 4:3, 16:9 etc. you can have option to either scale to fit width, or height. or simply scale to fit 100% in the canvas.
    Very much like we have in most print dialog boxes.
    It could be a keyboard comand or even contextual menu: SCALE TO FIT.
    A selected object or layer can be right clicked: scale to fit. Would help workflow. Would be easy to impliment.
    Option: Constrain Proportions check box. example, if I am bringing in say a texture I want to use with blend modes. this option would scale the X and Y to fit the canvas.
    Thank you!

  • PDF doesn't fit anymore

    Hi,
    We are converting PDF's from Word 2003 documents with Acrobat 9 Standard. Since yesterday the PDF doen't fit with the word document (see attached). It seems the text is set to 90 % zoom instead to 100 %. You can see that clearly on the grey block on the bottom of the page. It should be exactly on the page's bottom and in the edge, not somewhere else.
    Reinstalled Word and Acrobat, but no success. Problem still remains.
    Have anyone seen such weird output and know how to fix it?
    Your help is always very much appreciated.
    Thanks, Sebastian

    Take a look at this shot:
    http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/Dakine/3GJack1.jpg
    It is a shot of how it should look, the white plastic at the bottom is the moisture indicator. If you see lint you may be able to get it out with a very thin wire with a bend at the end to hook the lint out, just make sure the wire is soft and the phone is OFF

  • Are Adobe EVER going to make Edge Animate scale-to-fit (like Flash)?

    I've been following the progress of Edge Animate (formerly Edge) ever since Steve Jobs decided he wasn't having Flash on the iPad.
    With each new version I've been desperately looking for the feature that I consider the most important of all: Scale-to-fit
    There are a couple of discussions already on this forum where people have requested this feature - but both have been sidetracked by replies from people who haven't understood what 'scale-to-fit' is. So let me explain Scale-to-fit:
    I'm talking about the feature in Flash - where if the HTML dimensions are set to 'Percent' - then the resultant movie will scale-to-fit any browser window. Here is an example of what I mean:
    http://www.skippingschool.co.uk
    - try changing the browser size and you'll see the whole frame (graphics and images) scales without changing its proportions.
    When the latest version of Edge Animate came out with its built-in easy-to-follow 'Resize' Lesson, I thought Adobe had finally found an answer. But good though this feature is, it doesn't solve the problem. It's only possible to properly scale-to-fit images - not graphics.
    It's now more important than ever that Adobe finds a solution to this problem. The world is going 'Responsive' - its not just a fad. And 'Responsive' is not just about three columns being squeezed into one. All Responsive sites require images, graphics AND animations to scale-to-fit. So Adobe's tutorial showing how Edge Animate can be added to WordPress sites is of limited use because it won't work for Responsive web sites.
    So please Adobe, will someone tell me if scale-to-fit is EVER going to happen? I don't mind if it's 3 months, 6 months, 9 months down the line - but I need to know if it's worth me sticking with Edge Animate - or whether I should be looking toward HTML5 Canvas or something else for a solution?
    Alternatively, is there some fundamental reason why it can NEVER happen?
    Please tell me? Just put me out of my misery!

    Hi Sarah,
    I hope you don't mind but I played around with your code a bit and managed to get the kind of scale-to-fit behavior that I believe the OP was asking about.  I think the trick is to make sure that you also check whether the scaled height of the stage exceeds the height of the browser window and change the scaling so that it is responsive to changes in both the width and height of the window, whichever is the limiting factor. The code I changed in CompositionReady appears in bold below.  I hope this helps.
    sym.$("#Stage").css({ // Set the transform origin so we always scale to the top left corner of the stage
    "transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-ms-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-webkit-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-moz-transform-origin":"0 0",
    "-o-transform-origin":"0 0"
    function scaleStage() {
        var stage = sym.$('Stage'); // Set a reusable variable to reference the stage
        var parent = sym.$('Stage').parent(); // Set a reusable variable to reference the parent container of the stage
        var parentWidth = stage.parent().width(); // Get the parent of the stage width
        var parentHeight = $(window).height(); // Get the browser window height
        var stageWidth = stage.width(); // Get the stage width
        var stageHeight = stage.height(); // Get the stage height
        var desiredWidth = Math.round(parentWidth * 1); // Set the new width of the stage as it scales
        var desiredHeight = Math.round(parentHeight * 1); // Set the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleWidth = (desiredWidth / stageWidth); // Set a variable to calculate the new width of the stage as it scales
        var rescaleHeight = (desiredHeight / stageHeight); // Set a variable to calculate the new height of the stage as it scales
        var rescale = rescaleWidth;
        if (stageHeight * rescale > desiredHeight) // Do not scale larger than the height of the browser window
                        rescale = rescaleHeight;
    // Rescale the stage!
               stage.css('transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css(  '-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-ms-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-webkit-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               stage.css('-moz-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
         stage.css('-o-transform', 'scale(' + rescale + ')');
               parent.height(stageHeight * rescale); // Reset the height of the parent container so the objects below it will reflow as the height adjusts
    // Make it happen when the browser resizes
    $(window).on('resize', function(){
               scaleStage();
    // Make it happen when the page first loads
    $(document).ready(function(){
        scaleStage();

  • Scale to fit paper size (no custom paper size?)

    I used to have a custom paper size called "No. 6-3/4 envelopes" defined under Page Setup. For example, in Pages I would adjust the document's page size to the size of my envelope (6.5 x 3.63 inches). However, to get it to print correctly, after selecting File > Print... I would need to select "Paper Handling" (dropdown) and check "Scale to fit paper size". Then select from "Destination Paper Size" (dropdown) my custom page size that I defined in Page Setup. It would appear as a custom size near the bottom of the list after all the standard sizes such as US Letter. By not doing this before printing a custom size envelope, my HP printer throws an error that it does not support the page size.
    However, after upgrading to Lion, I'm not seeing my custom paper size underneath the "Destination Paper Size" list. It doesn't show any custom sizes I've defined from Page Setup as it did in 10.6 Snow Leopard. Is this a bug?

    Nevermind, I seemed to have solved my own issue which drove me crazy for the last 30 minutes. By swapping the Width and Height for the custom size in Page Setup, it now seems to notice the custom size under "Destination Paper Size" again.

  • Excel file won't scale to fit page

    We have just installed a new copier, a Ricoh MP C4503, that repaced essentially an earlier version of the product.
    We have a user with an Excel for Mac 2011 xls file, that when he selected an area and printed with scale to fit, printed full page on 11 x 17. But now the spreadhseet comes out looking shrunk on the page, perhaps as thought it would look if printed fully on 8.5 x 11 but I'm just guessing.
    If I print this file on another Mac,with essentially the same OS (or several other versions of OSX on several other Macs we have in the office) using the same copier, it prints as desired, a beautiful fullpage 11x17 spreadsheet.
    It is only on his MBP (with latest updates I might add) that this problem is occurring, so I think it must be a problem with his OS, his printer driver, or his Excel installation, and I would remind, it printed fine before the new printer/copier came along.
    I have tried a barrage of possible solutions until I'm bleary-eyed: multiple tweaks of the settings in sys prefs, printer features, page setup, print area, deleting and reinstalling driver, and more.
    Help?
