PDFs are always scaling to fit the page when printing, after OS X 10.9 upgrade

Hello,
When I try to print a PDF on a sheet that is larger or smaller then the page size I have selected in Acrobat, it always reduces or enlarged it to fit, even when I tell it not to do any scaling. Please see my step by step process below for more details on how I am sending the file to the printer.
Preface:
This problem began after I upgraded my Mac OS to 10.9, and it only applies when I print from Acrobat Pro to our poly platesetter (I work in the prepress department for an offset printer). I have Acrobat Pro 9 and 11 on my computer, and I have the  problem using either one.
• I do not have this problem when printing from InDesign, or any other CC application.
• I can print to our four other printers (desktop or copiers) from Acrobat without any scaling problems.
Description of the problem:
This is an example of a file I may need to print, a #10 envelope. The sheet and document sizes are in red.
The 'Page Size' is 4.13" x 9.5" and I have it set to print 'Actual size.' I have also tried 'Custom Scale' at 100%, but I still have the same problem. The preview in the print dialog is correct. It should just print the envelope, not the cropmarks that were on the PDF. I've sent down countless envelopes this way before I upgraded to 10.9 without any trouble. 
Above is a screenshot of the file after it has been ripped at our platesetter. You can see it reduced the entire document to fit on the selected page size. The cropmarks should not be there, and it shouldn't have reduced the artwork.
I also have the opposite problem of  my artwork being enlarged if I send something down that is smaller than my selected page size.
I know this a very specific problem, so I understand that I may not  get much help on it. Thanks in advance for any help you may offer. I have workarounds, but this is really slowing me down, and if I accidentally plate something that was reduced or enlarged can be a very costly mistake if it get printed that way.
My Equipment:
• Early 2008 -  Quad-Core Mac Pro 2.8 GHz
• I use Abobe CC applications, but I've tried Acrobat 9.0 as an alterative to Acrobat 11
• Our platesetter is: Mitsubishi SDP-Eco 1630 IIIR
  with a Harlequin RIP 9.0 Revision 0
Thank you in advance for any insight you may have.

A workaround I found for my Fiery RIP if insist on using Acrobat XI:
In Acrobat's Print dialog, set:
Choose paper source by PDF page size = ticked
Use custom paper size when needed = ticked
In Page Setup, set Page Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"
In Printer, open the Fiery driver properties and set Paper Size = your custom size, i.e. 4.13" x 9.5"

    Check a printable area of your printer.
    Make a (grey) rectangle that is larger than the paper size. Print it,
    you'll get a message that some cropping will occur, that's okay. Then take a
    ruler and measure the dimensions of the rectangle printed on the paper or
    the white borders around the printed rectangle.

  • How can I save a page complete so that I can take our a print later on with its complete texts and pictures.I want that the copy of the page when printed should be exactly the same with all the details.

    When save a web page and try to take out print the pictures in the web page are not coming in the print.I want to know how to save the webpage so that when I take its print it comes out in its entirety without loosing any details of the original webpage.

    If you drop down the "Save as Type" list in the Save page dialog, you have the choices of HTML only (images not saved to your computer) and HTML complete (images are saved to your computer). Neither of these is perfect.
    If you really need a record of what you see today, I suggest printing the page to PDF. There are a number of free print-to-PDF products, as well as paid ones. This isn't perfect either, because some sites look different in print than on screen, but it avoids the problem of sites changing or links breaking after your browsing session ends, etc.
    If you have an example of a page that can't be printed as it appears on the screen, you could post a URL. For example, many blogs print in an "unstyled" format.

  • How to print within the margins of the page when printing from iPad to HP Envy D410a?

    When I try to print something from the iPad, either the 1 or the 2, the result is that the image sent from the iPad is printed Borderless, which of course results in parts of the print being cutoff, is there someway to resize the print through the printer, since the iPads don't have drivers?
    Also, I seem to have a similar problem when printing from my PC, only in it's case the resulting print is smaller, it seems to print into a margin size of 1" on all sides. The only app that I have found that lets me override this is Adobe Reader which has the page scaling options.
    All suggestions will be appreciated. TIA.

  • Typed material shifts to the top of the page when printed

    When I try to print documents, they print out with everything shifted to the top of the page. I have tried cleaning and aligning the print head, and either did not change anything. I also tried to reset the printer by unplugging it, and that did not fix anything either. Thank you

    Hi , I would like to be able to help you with your print jobs shifting but I have a few questions first. Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or a power bar? We want to connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. See this document for more information about Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector (Note: This document is not limited to Laserjet printers.)  Do you know if the same thing happens when you print the test report or do a copy?
    I just want to make sure it's not something with the hardware itself.  Try to print a Printer Status Report to make sure that the hardware functions correctly.On the printer control panel, swipe the display to scroll to Setup, and then touch the Setup icon (). The Setup menu displays.Touch Print Reports, and then touch Printer Status Report. The printer prints the report.
    Figure : Example of a Printer Status Report
     You could also make sure the printer has the current firmware updates installed. You can click on this link to learn how to Get Printer Updates for HP Officejet Pro 8610.  If the hardware is working correctly, I would need to know the following to help you further;What program are you printing from?Have you tried printing from another program? You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer software. It is possible that pieces of it may still remain that could interfere with a reinstall. I recommend referencing the steps in this document to make sure you haven't missed anything; HP Single-Function and Multifunction Printers - Uninstalling the Printer Software. You may also want to Delete files using Disk Cleanup.  Other places software drivers may hide would be in your Device Manager.  To Open the Device Manager:
    1) Click Start (Or Windows Icon) and enter 'Device Manager' into the Search field.
    2) Click on the Device Manager.
    3) You may want to click on View, at the top of the windows, and then Show hidden devices. 
    4) Expand the device types, and check for any driver related to your printer. 
    5) To remove a device from device manager, right-click the device name from the list and then click Uninstall. * For more information see Device Manager Information for Windows 7. It's the same for XP.  Then download and install the newest HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.   Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!   Thanks, 

  • Part of page "image" overlaps the page when printed.  How do I fix this?

    When printing from Acrobat 10.1.5, part of the contents of the page prints on top of the page itself.  In my most recent case, the page is landscape.  The portion of the page that overprinted is from the bottom center about 1 inch wide and 4 inches tall.  It ended up on the top right of my page.
    Portrait example - a similar sized "piece" from the middle of the 8.5" length, about 1 inch tall and 4 inches wide printed on the top left of my portrait page.
    I have tried the quick fix - print as image - but that doesn't change anything.  Help!

    Hi Casey ,
    You can check the properties of that calender option and if there is an option of opening the calender in the same page ,then please select that.
    Or is it with the help of button option you have created the calender?

  • Every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputing to pdf

    every time I create a button it moves to the centre of the page when outputting to pdf
    I have done a load of tests and it does it every time
    I imported a jpg image as my button. Converted it to a button by Interactive/convert button. Even before I setup all the options in the buttons panel it moves. So for instance I have the button in the bottom RHS in Indesign. Then make a interactive pdf and its in the centre of the page. I have even converted the image back to an object and it goes back to in proper position.
    I have tried this in several documents, starting from scratch and using different images and also drawn a button. I have also used the buttons from the button library
    In previous version of Indesign I have never uncounted this problem.

    Can anyone help this has not be resolved and I have several annual reports to get out urgently. Its happening to all documents!

  • I copy a pdf to my desktop to remove some pages, when I go to my original PDF, it's been althered the same way my copy was???

    Please help me,
    I copied a pdf to my desktop to remove some pages, when I go to my original PDF, it's been althered the same way my copy was???
    Also, after a numbers of time, I delete everything from my desktop, I keep the folder where I've stored my PDF, copy the original pdf in it (after I make sure the original PDF was still intact), once copied, the copied version has the changes I've made in it from my previous operation.
    Do you have any ideas?

    Make sure it's not an alias.

    Try opening it with Adobe Acrobat Reader.

  • In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it

    In the Calendar there used to be the daily activities listed at the bottom of the page when you had the monthly view on it.
    For example you could see the whole month, the day you select was highlighted and at the bottom of the page listed any activities.
    Now this does not happen. Am I missing something?
    The Calender seems to have gone backwards!!!
    HELP!!!
    PLEASE!!!!

    Ditto!  I have always preferred the month as the default view and the list at the page bottom let me know what I need to pay attention to for today (or tomorrow, or any future date).  Having to scoll through every hour of the day to find items that may or not be there is a huge waste of time!
    I hate this calendar!!!!  I've been okay with other changes in ios7 but they need to make changes.  How about letting us configure our own calendar views?  Choose "home" page look by month or week, itemize daily view by hour or by items entered, etc.

  • Clicking on a link does not open firefox and take me to the page when firefox is my default browser but does when Internet Explorer is my default browser, what is wrong?

    All of a sudden (I think after the last firefox update) links in other web pages won't open firefox to access the page when firefox is my default browser but works when I change my default browser to Internet Explorer and I can't figure out why. Help!!!

    This problem just arose for me today. Very frustrating. Tried all of the suggestions here without success. Then a very simple solution came to me:
    UNINSTALL CHROME. I haven't used Chrome for a long while anyway since it seems to have chronic problems of one sort or another. Firefox does 95% of what I need, and Internet Explorer can handle the other 5%.
    After uninstalling Chrome I clicked a mailto link. It asked me what program to use and did not list Firefox as an option for some reason. In the Tools menu, I chose "Options" and went to the "Applications" tab. Searched for "mailto". There was a single entry - when Chrome was installed it gave me no options to switch. After uninstalling Chrome I was able to change that. It still did not list Firefox, but it did list "Gmail". Selecting that causes my Gmail to open in Firefox.
    I have no idea whether Google or Microsoft is responsible for this, but I'm inclined to give the hairy eyeball to Google for this one. It's the sort of stunt they'd pull on Microsoft, then pretend it was just a mistake. Just one guy's opinion, of course.
