PDFs printing smaller than original

Suddenly, those who receive my appleworks>save as PDF files they tell me the image is smaller than it should be. For years this has not been a problem. Help, please? I'm on iMac OS 10.5.8. Many thanks.

At the bottom of the Compose window, on the left, do you not see a heading for Message Size and that reports the message size? And at the bottom right, another heading for Image Size and then a button menu that says something like Actual Size, or maybe Large or Medium? If other than Actual Size, click on the arrows beside that, and choose Actual Size.

  • When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    When I try to print a photo downloaded from Facebook in iPhoto, I can't get the size I specify to print correctly. Example: 5x7 prints smaller than 5x7. What do I do to solve this problem?

    Those pixel dimemsions have aspect ratios that are not the same as a 5 x7 print:
    1360 x 1360 = 1.0
    790 x 640 = 1.23
    2048 x 1366 = 1.5
    An 7 x 5 image = 1.4.
    So you'll need to crop the images to 5 x 7 before printing.  The first two images are a little light in the pixels to produce a high resolution 5 x 7 print.

  • Scanned Document Pints Smaller than Original

    When I scan an 8-1/2" x 11" document, it prints out as 5" x 7".  How to I change it to print out as 8-1/2" x 11"?

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see when you are scanning documents the output comes out smaller than the original on your HP Officejet 7610. To better help me help you, please leave me with the following information: 1. What program are you using to Scan, are you Copying from the front panel? 2. Do you get any error messages on the Computer or Printer? 3. If you print a Document from the Computer does the same thing happen? Have you tried running the Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools-- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers. Let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply. Thanks,

  • PDF files smaller than 8K will not open in IE 6.0

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe reader 8.1.3 and IE 6.0.0.
    I have an unusual situation where only pdf files LARGER than 8k will open in the browser. Anything small than 8k will not.
    This seems to be an issue with pdf files only as I am able to open other file types that are less than 8k with no problems.
    All of the files reside on a server and are accessible via a web page.
    If I login to the hosting server directly I am able to open them just fine regardless of the file size.
    I need this to work in IE as that is the only browser that is supported. DOD site.
    Any thoughts or suggestions as how to resolve the problem.
    Thanks.

  • Exported video size smaller than original video size. How do I keep the original size?

    I exporting a video from Adobe Premiere CS6 today, and I noticed the video was about 1/2 times smaller  than the original video I put in. I then uploaded the video on YouTube, and the size was still the same. I tried to change the preset to 1080p 29.97, 1080p 25, etc. and the same with 720p, and 480p, but the size only changed slightly.
    How do I keep the original size after exportation of videos?

  • Illustrator CS4: Images Open 3x Smaller than Original

    Every time I open an image in Illustrator, it is 3-times smaller than the original image started out.
    For example:
    An image starting out with the dimensions:
    Width: 5.35 inches / 1070 px / 385.2 pt
    Height: 5.24 inches / 1048 px / 377.3 pt
    Once it is opened up in Illustrator the dimensions are contorted to:
    Width: 1.93 inches / 386 px / 139 pt
    Height: 1.89 inches / 378 px / 136.1 pt
    And this is just from opening the image. I have not done anything as of yet. All I have to look at is a distorted pixelated mess.
    I am a bit new to Illustrator, and after hearing my friends talk about how great it is to use, none of them can figure out why Illustrator is doing this to my image files.
    Why is Illustrator doing this, and how do I get it to open image files with the proper dimensions?

    Dimensions of an image depends on its resolution. When viewing the image in an image editor it just displays 1 image pixel on 1 monitor pixel. Illustrator doesn't do this, but takes into account, what you have defined as resolution. That is: how many pixels should be on 1 inch.

  • Doc attachments smaller than original

    Do you know why when I attach a scanned doc (TIFF) in a letter and specify the largest size what gets attached is smaller than the scanned doc?
    I scanned a doc and it is 10.7 Mb but when attached at the largest choice of attachments it is only 3.5MB.
    This is important since I scanned a legal doc and shipped it out but when it was opened it's size was ~4.5x6" instead of 8.5 x 11".
    The scanned doc when dropped in photo shop is 8.5 x 11" at 100% When I look at the doc that was attachment in photo shop it is ~4.5 x 6" at 100%.
    I can't find any controls to correct this problem.

  • Why are the colors (red mostly) in my Press Quality PDF file darker than Original AI file?

    Hi,
    I am new to CS5 and have been doing a lot of researching and testing saving AI CS5 files in "Press Quality" PDF format.  When I preview the PDF files in MAC's Preview application (will get Acrobat Reader as well) everything looks nice and crisp, but the colors are a bit on the dark side compared to my original AI files, namely the burgundy.  Needless to say, I am only using CMYK and the resolution has been set to High. 
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi again John,
    Now I am sitting in front of the right computer and I just checked the CMYK profile in AI and it says: North America Prepress 2.  I found the following tutorial on the internet and this guy says that it is best to use a CMYK profile called BEST WORKFLOW which is supposed to accurately display colors across all platforms.  In the tutorial, he also added that if you do not see this profile listed then you should Load (directly from the CMYK profile window) it from your computer.  However, I was unable to locate this profile on my MAC and since this tutorial is based on AI CS2, I am unsure if I can use it.

    Which CMYK profile would you recommend that I use?
    Many thanks,

  • Problem - Prints smaller than 100%

    I've got a 110 page book and I'm about to do a final print before making a pdf to send to printer. When I print, the print size comes out as if it's set for 90 or 80%. I've got Page Set up as 100% and portrait - the margins are OK.
    The front matter is in a separate document and prints fine and I can't find what's the difference in any settings between the documents. I'm in a time crunch

  • Zip is not really smaller than original.

    I have a file that is 194 MB. If I right-click and choose to make an archive, I get a zip file that is 193.3 MB. Can this be right? I think this form of archive is only useful for a group of files that need to be bundled. Why doesn't it compress the file?

    To add to Roger's list, that includes most movie file formats.
    To comment on Steve's comment, I find that text can compress quite a lot.
    You may find no compression gain because there is a certain amount of overhead attached to a compressed file, and for small files or files that are already in a compressed format this overhead may be more than the space savings.

  • Photoshop prints smaller than desired

    Please assist, I know I must have some setting or workplace thing set incorrectly but can't find it. I have a PSD file that is 8.5 x 11 inches with resolution of 300px. When I go to print it, it prints as a thumbnail size. I tried dropping the resolution tp 72PX, still prints incorect size. My printer settings are fine, it shows as if it's going to print 8.5 x 11.
    Any help would be appreciated.   I'm still at P.S. CS4 on Windows XP.

  • IPhoto library size smaller than original collection

    I've seen several iphoto library size questions but nothing seems close to my own situation.  If anything, it's mostly the other way around. Apologies if this has already been covered but I've searched long and hard!
    I have my photo collection in two places- an iPhoto library and separately stored in a finder folder called "Photos".  For backup purposes and in case anything goes wrong, I prefer to have them doubled up like this.  My iPhoto library is 7.96GB when viewed in finder, whereas the folder "Photos" is 8.95GB.  The same number of images are in both.  Can anyone shed some light onto why this would be the case?  There are no other items contained in either collection, movies etc., just the same amount of photos in various folders within folders.  Surely the iPhoto library would be at least as big, if not bigger with thumbs, photos modified etc?

    I would expect the iPhoto Library to be significantly bigger than the folder tree so something is not right.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
    BTW:  Storing the files in a folder tree and iPhoto on the same disk is a waste of space and not a back up. A back up needs to be on a separate disk, at least. The most common problems are disk issues. Such a set up offer no protection whatever from that.
