PLD Paper Size 'Letter - Rotated' Problem

Hi Experts,
I would like to ask what is the equivalent of Windows Vista's "Letter - Rotated" Paper Size in other Operating System like Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, because a PLD was created in Windows Vista with Letter- Rotated as its paper size, when the PLD report was printed using other operating system, it was found out that there is no letter - rotated size and the PLD layout was changed and it didn't fit with the pre-printed form. Any suggestions on how we can solve this? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Malu

Hi Malu,
Unfortunately, there is no equivalent in other OS to Windows Vista's "Letter - Rotated" Paper Size.  Therefore you have only one option: using major clients OS version to decide what common paper size you could use.
Thanks,
Gordon

  • How do I print a PDF that contains mixed paper sizes (letter and legal) so that my printer choosing the correct paper tray for each page?

    I have followed the instructions here:

    I found out that, apparently, this just plan doesn't work on the Mac version of Adobe Reader.  Thanks, Adobe, for a crappy experience.

  • Default paper size scanning problem, LaserJet M1120n MFP

    Hi, I just got a used LaserJet M1120n MFP. Installed the most up-to-date drivers form HP's website. Printing is fine over USB or LAN, however the WIA scanning driver defaults to paper size "Letter" and I can't scan A4 pages all the way. The bottom is always cut off and I get an unwanted strip besides the scanned document. Please, advise how to change the default paper size of the WIA driver to A4. I use Windows XP Pro. Looked everywhere but cannot find any settings that will allow me to change the default paper size. Any ideas?
    I have been thinking, could default paper size be somehow be tied to system locale? My locale is European and all other device drivers do default to A4. I wonder how the WIA scanning driver chose to default to Letter size.
    The TWAIN driver works fine (I can choose default paper size), though it is less intuitive than I expected. Too bad I can't use it over a LAN. Is there a way to calibrate the scanner for white as the background seems kind of dark?
    Your suggestions and ideas are most appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks for the reply, Spencer. I have used Adobe Acrobat to scan by means of the WIA driver, but when I do so the paper size selection box is dimmed (inactive) and I can't choose any paper size (nor any is preselected). I have also used Win XP's native Scanner and Camera Wizzard; it doesn't even have a paper size setting. Then I have used it with Win 7's native Windows Fax and Scan; no paper size setting here either.
    Here is a useful thread on the same issue from Adobe's forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/844549
    Reading around the forums I came across several posts where people discussed the impossibiity to set paper size when scanning using the WIA driver. Their problem was a bit different, though. The WIA driver had locked to size 'Legal' while they needed to scan in size 'Letter'.
    The WIA interface was developed by Microsoft and here is what they have to say about the issue:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff548440%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    'Supported Scanner Paper Sizes
    Although two WIA user interface components are able to display a list of page sizes to the user, there is no easy way for a WIA driver to know which page sizes a scanner supports.
    Page Size in WIA Applications
    There are no WIA properties that allow WIA drivers to report supported page sizes or that allow applications to specify page size directly. To communicate page size settings to a driver, an application must calculate the required size in dots per inch (dpi) and adjust the origin of the scan to conform with the registration requirements of the device.
    Page Size in the Common Scanner Dialog and in the Scanner and Camera Wizard
    Both the Common Scanner Dialog and the Scanner and Camera Wizard have a static table of supported page sizes in which each page size is described by its horizontal width and vertical height, both in increments of 0.001 inch. These page sizes are currently displayed only when the scanner is in document feeder mode.
    The largest page size (by area) that a driver supports in page feed mode, as determined by the maximum bed size, is considered the default page size. Paper sizes that do not fit on the feeder or on the bed of the device are not offered to the user.'  -- exactly my case!
    Having tried the same WIA driver (developed by HP in this case) on several PC's running different WIndows OS and using non-US locale settings, I have came to the conclusion that HP may have hard coded the Letter paper size in the driver. I guess this works for North America but not in Europe where A4 is the standard size.
    I guess I have to look into ways to get to that hard coded paper size setting in order to be able to make use of the driver. I don't even know if that will be possible but I'll keep on reading. Wish me luck

  • Pdf paper size incorrect

    I receive my fax's electronically and when I get a legal size (8.5x14) fax Acrobat Reader 9 detects the paper size as letter size. Needless to say this causes my fax to be shrunk when I print. When I look at the properties of the fax it shows the paper size to be 8.64x13.6. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it to read correctly? My system is windows xp service pack 3 and I am using Adobe Reader ver. 9.0.0. I am printing to a Kyocera KM-C4035E colour printer, but have tried multiple printers (ie HP, Canon) with the same result. The issue seems to be how Reader detects the paper size of the document.
    I can go into the print setup and select legal, but this is a real pain, as I then have to switch back when I want to print a letter size document.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I think this may help. I had a different problem, but similar.
    There is a setting in the OS X print dialog box (under Copies & Pages) called "Paper Handling". By default it is set to "Scale to fit paper size: Letter" This has taken me weeks to figure out. We were trying to print large format (30" x 42") PDFs and they were alway coming out 8.5 x 11. I hope this helps you out.

  • Distorted PDF paper size with Qt5

    Hi,
    after updating qpdfview in AUR to 0.4.5-2, files are displayed with an all-wrong paper size. Here's what should show my timetable in qpdfview. I also installed texmaker-qt5 with similar results, leading me to believe that the problem lies with poppler-qt5 - error messages were not shown anywhere. Qpdfview 0.4.4-2 (which used qt4) displays the files without problems. Can anybody confirm this?
    Thanks in advance

  • With Oki ML395 and Epson FX-1170 printers the paper size is incorrect

    I've tried printing to an Oki ML 395 and an Epson FX-1170 (both dot matrix), through code, but the paper size is never the one that I configured.
    The behaviour is the same for both printers.
    I have set the Oki printer as the Windows default and also the report default, and chose the paper size "Fanfold 210mm x 12 in".
    Then, when I preview the report, click the button to print and access the print options the paper size selected is always "Letter".
    If I don't preview first, the print is always done with paper size "Letter".
    I tried it on the designer and it works ok.
    I tried changing the paper size to "A4" and it also works ok. Some paper sizes are correctly identified, while others are not and in theat case its used the paper size "Letter".
    In these cases the CR used is 2008 SP3 and the .NET framework is 3.5 SP1.
    My OS is Windows Vista but I have also seen this happen in XP, and the drivers installed are the ones from the OS.
    I have also checked if the printers are unicode compliant and there is no mention on the specifications.
    I've seen some issues with these kind of printers, but never this.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Considering that the Epson printer driver was last updated in 2003 and the Oki printer has never been updated I highly doubt they are unicode compliant.
    You may try to determine the enum of the page size and pass that to the report, but that is the only idea I have...
    The attached devcap utility may help.

  • Problem with custom paper size on dot matrix printer

    Hi All,
    I'm using CR2008 with updated to SP2. I have a problem with custom paper size (W=21; H=14), the CR Viewer show report with custom paper size correctly but when I print it to a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ 300+) the content was rotated to landscape. If print to a laser printer the content was printed correctly. My report was printed correctly by CR10 or previous versions I got this issue when upgraded to CR2008. I aslo tested my computer and printer with orther application like MS Word the printing have no problem with custom paper size.
    Thanks for any advice for me.
    Han

    Looking at the Epson LQ 300+ driver, I see that the latest update is from 2002. In my experience, most matrix printer drivers are not unicode. Crystal Reports is designed to only work with unicode printer drivers. See the [How Printer Driver Options Affect a Report|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/a09051e9-721e-2b10-11b6-f9c65c64ef29&overridelayout=true] article, page 6 for details. Also, see [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes.do] note.
    Finally, see if you can print from the CR designer to this printer and if you get the correct results here.

  • Unable to set paper size in SSRS (it always remain Letter)

    I am making a report in SSRS (SQL Server 2012). The main report has many sub reports under it. All main and sub reports have the following properties:
    Orientation: Landscape
    Margins: Custom
    Paper Size: A4
    When I export the report in Word, it always shows Paper Size as "Letter" and I have to change it to "A4" in it. Orientation and Margins are correctly exported. What's the problem with Paper Size? Why doesn't it export correct Paper Size
    as defined in SSRS which is "A4" and always resort to "Letter"?
    I see another use has same problem but no solution was identified.

    EDIT
    I just created a new basic test report with one Tablix in it. It is also showing same behavior i.e. even though I have set Paper Size to A4 when I export the report in Word, it changes to "Letter".

    Hi Frank,
    I viewed XML file for a report. The xml file doesn't store paper size name.
    <PageHeight>8.5in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>0.25in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.5in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.5in</BottomMargin>
    Thanks.
    Remember to mark as an answer if this post has helped you.
    This is my master report file and looks like it has correct values. Because orientation is landscape hence height is smaller than width in my case.
    <PageHeight>8.27in</PageHeight>
    <PageWidth>11.69in</PageWidth>
    <LeftMargin>1in</LeftMargin>
    <RightMargin>0.25in</RightMargin>
    <TopMargin>0.25in</TopMargin>
    <BottomMargin>0.25in</BottomMargin>

  • How do I change the default paper size from "Letter" to "A4 "on an P1006 (Windows 7)

    I have just reformatted my computer (Window 7 Professional - 64 bits) computer and then re-installed my HP Laserjet P1006 (downloading the driver from HP website) Even though I have changed the settings EVERYWHERE to A4 format - including the measurements to show millimeters - and even though all settings indicate that the format has been changed correctly, printed documents still come out as if printed in Letter format.The only place in printer settings and preferences that I can find where it still says Letter is under in the "General" tab (right click the default printer > "Printer Properties") where it under the heading "Paper available" says "Letter".  And...I don't know where/how to change that setting. However on my second printer of the same model that I am using for another computer , the settings also show Letter in this place, and that computer can - despite that - still print in A4 format....so this may not be the problem. Can anyone PLEASE help !  

    Hi Gemini02 ! Thanks for trying to help, but that is not solving it.
     And actually, I found out how to resolve the problem already:
     1) Open up aq Word Doc + go to...  FILE > Options > Advance > Print
     2)  UN-tick the following item:   "Scale content for A4 or 8,5 x 11" paper sizes" + OK
     I know it doesn't make sense, but it works.

  • Portrait printing problem on custom paper size

    Hi,
    i want to print on custom paper size - 500x700mm, but cant set custom paper size straight in Illustrator, only in printer driver. When I set it up and print file, all shapes are smaller on print than in file! Same thing happens with 320x450mm size. After some searching i tried to print it in landscape (wider side in printer) and everything is ok!!! but when i get back to portrait it is all smaller again :/
    On pre-intalled A4 size everything is ok.
    Can anyone help me, i want to print on 700x500mm but my printer is only 600mm wide ;/
    Tried to change any possible fit, resize and rotate option throughout app, system and in printer with no success.
    Specs:
    Mac OS 10.9 (Retina MBP 15)
    Illustrator CC and CS5 (tried on both)
    HP DesignJet 510 (CH336A)

    Yeah, HP tech support is iffy at best.
    I think you're on the right track.
    I don't think the issue is Illustrator. In my experience, the Art Board feature is exactly what is warranted for custom page sizes.
    I also wouldn't think it is an OS issue, as the drivers need to conform to OS development rules. If the driver "says" it can do it, it SHOULD do it. If it doesn't, that's not the OS's fault.
    In cases where you're trying to go "outside" the page-size presets of the printer driver, this is where people encounter problems, which is why I think the issue is the print driver. My solution has been to use an existing page-size preset, and hand-trim after printing. But in quantity prints, this becomes a pretty serious problem.
    One other thought. Someone else on this forum found that they could use custom page sizes (with certain printers) if they always fed the paper in its "tall" position, rather than feeding it in "wide." This might require you to rotate artwork in ai, I'm not sure. But it's worth a try in attempting to get your custom page size to print properly.
    Good luck.

  • Problems with custom paper sizes in Lightroom

    Running Mac OS-X 10.9.3 (Mavericks). using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880, latest driver installed as confirmed by Epson tech support this morning. using Lightroom 5.4.
    I only see this problem in Lightroom -  not in Photoshop - which leads me to conclude that the problem is not an Epson-driver problem.
    The problem is the following:
    In the Print Module, I click on 'page Setup' bottom left. I define my custom paper size under 'Paper Size' -> 'Manage Custom Sizes'. Click OK.
    I then enter 'Print Settings...' bottom left adjacent to the 'Page Setup' button. Select my printer, click on the 'Layout' drop-down list box button and select the 3rd tab in the list: 'Paper Handling'. Here is the problem: the 'Destination Paper Size' option is grayed out and unelectable, and incorrectly shows 'US Letter', which cannot be changed. If I click on 'Scale to fit paper size', and try to make a print to my custom paper that way, it still does not work: it only prints on a fraction of the whole paper.
    I have also tried Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners to change the default paper size there, but it makes no difference - it still incorrectly shows as 'US Letter' in Lightroom.
    This problem does not occur in Photoshop: In Photoshop, if you go to File -> Print in the menu, and then hit the 'Print Settings' button near the top, my custom paper size is selectable in the 'Paper Size' list box. So it is a problem which is specific to Lightroom.
    Any help appreciated. I have spent most of the day on the phone to Epson and Adobe Tech Support, and no-one has been able to dove the problem
    Thanks,

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.
    If you found an answer, I would appreciate  knowing how to do it!
    Thanks

  • Safari won't let me change printer paper size

    I am having a bizarre problem printing USPS labels from Safari. For some reason it shows my paper size as 13x19 in the printer dialog and there is no way I can change this (I tried in the printer driver and through System preferences and the changes would not "take"). I have three HP printers and only one of them can print 13x19 paper. I tried changing the default paper size on all three printer drivers but they all will only show 13x19, so if I try to print a 8x11 document on any of the printers, it won't print scaled normally to 8x11 paper - instead I get large font prints that are cut off. I tried different "scale to fit" settings in the drivers and nothing worked.
    Finally, I switched to Firefox and it worked perfectly!
    Interestingly, when I try printing a normal webpage from Safari, it WILL print on 8x11, but not a USPS label!
    If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Safari won't let me customize a new computer on the Apple store website.
    Try emptying your Safari cache. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    If that doesn't help, go to the menu bar again, click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select the top 5 boxes, click Reset.
    Quit then relaunch Safari, try the Apple Store    http://store.apple.com/us
    If you have installed any extensions, back to the menu bar, click Safari > Prefereces then select the Extensions tab. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test the store.
    And make sure Java is enabled in Safari > Preferences - Security

  • My Officejet 6500 E710 will not accept an A4 paper size as default and keeps reverting to Letter

    I bought a new OfficeJet 6500 E710. I use A4 size paper but for some reason it will either not accept the change from Letter (I change it in the Printer Preferences and the Print settings) presenting me with an error message "printer settings could not be saved" or in some cases it does change but when I print from Adobe Indesign it is reset to Letter. Adobe is also set to A4 as standard. My regional settings are for the Netherlands. Can anyone shed some light on this behaviour? BTW I have checked that the firmware on the printer is the latest. I have rebooted after setting the paper size. None of these have helped.

    I had a problem like this where my X didnt wanna take my new monitor displays.. what I did was I backed up my conf and ran nvidia-xconfig to make a new .conf, then using sudo nvidia-settings i told it to go to the size i wanted and it just appended the file for me

  • Problems with Custom Paper Size and Address Book

    I'm having some trouble printing from Address Book onto a custom paper size. I'm attempting to set up a notecard, and only print one at a time, rather than multiple columns as in the Labels option. The trouble is that when creating this small size, Address Book doesn't recognize it as anything other than a regular sheet of US Letter, and thus prints the address in the middle of the page.
    I have no problem printing envelopes, though, which seems odd because they too go in the manual feed for my printer. The notecards are similar width to the envelopes, but only about half the length.
    Has anyone else experienced problems with custom paper sizes printing improperly? I'm using an HP 4515 LaserJet, but have access to a few other laser printers. Thanks for any insight

    I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix.  I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade.  I print in Photoshop fine.

  • Crystal Report Print report on different paper size (A4/Letter)

    I develop the crystal report 2008 with VS.net 2008. The report runs on web.
    when I preview or debug with VS on my local computer, the crystal report using A4 (8.3 * 11.7 in), Which is correct.
    However, after I deploy the program to the server, and try view and print report through IE, the print out is actually using Letter size (8.5 * 11 in).
    Both on my local computer and the server, the default printer is set to A4 size. And on the crystal report, in the printer setup, the paper size is A4 as well.
    I try on firefox, and safari. No luck. Same as IE.
    The crystal report need to print barcode, and the paper size must be A4, cuz the barcode page is designed and printed on A4 Avery Laser Barcode sheet.
    I tried on my PC by using remote server data souce, the printing works perfectly in A4 size (8.3"*11.7").
    And I don't know why same program after deploy to the server, then it using Letter size (8.5" * 11"), which the size I never set to.
    So strange.
    Thanks

    A few ideas \ suggestions:
    1) Make sure you are using FP 3.3 runtime:
    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100016807202010E/cr2008fp33_redist.zip
    2) Try a simple win app - use saved data report (crystalreportviewer1.reportsource = <path to saved data report>). Does this print correctly?
    3) What print mode are you using; PDF or ActiveX?
    4) Try export to RPT and PDF from your web app. Does it export correctly?
