Preview Scale and Print

Ok, so here is my dilemma.
I open a PDF in Preview, I go to print it, set it to automatically scale and instead of scaling in the middle so it prints right, it scales to the bottom left and then gets cut off by the printer since its not inside the printer margins.
Acrobat scales to the margins, but I want to use Preview because its faster. Anyway to set where preview scales?

I don't know if my problem is exactly the same as yours, but I find that printing some PDFs in Preview cuts off the bottom of some documents. This doesn't happen when I convert the document to open in Adobe Reader and then print with the Reader print dialog box. I can't find any settings in the Preview dialog box to correct this: There is no longer a separate Page Setup dialog box, and the three radio buttons in the Preview print dialog box ("No automatic page scaling", "Scale each page to fit paper",and "Only scale down large pages") nor reducing the scale in the Scale text box seem to be able to correct this problem.
The PDF document I was having problems with was created in Adobe Acrobat 8.1. Perhaps that has something to do with it.

  • PREVIEW SaveAll and Print All

    I'm having a devil of a time with my Preview scans.
    1. Is there a way to SaveAll scans that end up in a Preview Document? I have a bunch of tif's (sometimes these come in as a Document Feeder and sometimes they are a series of hand placed originals.
    I know I can select them all and print them all to pdf as one document but is there a way to save all of them to a specific folder? Right now if I select them all I am not getting an option to Save All (it is greyed out) and if I select them all and Save As it seems to only save one image.
    On the other hand I sometimes see a bunch of images in my Scanner Documents folder but I can never figure out how they got there. Do they go to this folder /only/ /after/ I run some kind of Save routine or are they always placed in this folder and then a SaveAs will put them somewhere else?
    2. Why on earth isn't there a Print All option? Currently if I accidentally forget to select all my images and I go to Print Selected Images and then print to pdf I only end up with one page printed to pdf. This is a real pain as I oftentimes delete the original tifs so as to not take up extra space on my HD.
    This dialog makes no sense to me. I have the option to Print or to Print Selected Images. If I Print after selecting all the images it only prints one but at the same time if I only have one selected and I run Print it only prints one document. Print Selected really seems like a tweeener command that should sit between Print and Print All. Anybody feelin me on that one?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Rotate, scale and print an image

    I'm trying to rotate, scale and then print an image with the following code.
    public int print(Graphics g, PageFormat pageFormat, int pageIndex)
                    double DPI=72.0;
         if (pageIndex > 0)
              return(NO_SUCH_PAGE);
         else
              Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
              Paper paper = pageFormat.getPaper();
              int pWidth=(int) (DPI*paper.getWidth()/72.0);
              int piw=(int) (DPI*pageFormat.getImageableWidth()/72.0);     
              int pih =(int ) (DPI*pageFormat.getImageableHeight()/72.0);
              int xi=(int) (DPI*pageFormat.getImageableX()/72.0);
              int yi=(int) (DPI*pageFormat.getImageableY()/72.0);
              g2d.translate(0, pWidth);
              g2d.rotate(-Math.toRadians(90));
              g2d.drawImage(image, yi, xi. pih+yi,piw+xi, 0,0,image.getWidth(null), image.getHeight(null),null);
              g2d.rotate(Math.toRadians(90));
              g2d.translate(0, -pWidth);
    }The image is shifted to the right and has some extra space on the left when it is printed out . I couldn't figure out why it does that.

    Hmmmm That seems OK.
    Are you sure the origin point of the central sprite is at a
    locV that is
    inbetween the orbiting sprites' min / max locV values? This
    should do what
    you need if the central object is at the right locV on stage
    in relation to
    the orbit path of the other sprites. Try moving it down in
    relation to the
    orbit sprite maybe?
    Or try this on the central sprite to create an offset...
    property my
    on beginSprite me
    my = sprite(me.spritenum)
    end
    on enterFrame me
    my.locZ = my.locV + 50
    end
    Tinker with the 50 value until it looks right.
    Cheers

  • Print Preview shows (and prints) only a portion of a page,

    Not the printer's fault - it prints what Print Preview sends it (about half a page).

    There's a couple of old Bugs ''(over 8 years old)'' in Firefox that can cause that to happen with some web pages. One Bug was recently fixed for Firefox 4.0b8, but it doesn't look like it will be applied to Firefox 3.6.x versions.
    There may be a workaround you could apply for a specific domain via a Stylish script, but we'd need the URL of that page and a screen shot of the Print Preview window to try to help you fix it.

  • Leopard's Preview and print size of JPG

    Why doesn't Preview print the actual size of JPGs? Under tools in Preview's file menu, a JPG's size can be adjusted. However, these size settings don't seem to reflect the size of the printed picture. If the scale for printing is set to 100%, the size does not match the actual size of the photo. Any suggestions or explanations?
    Thanks,
    Joseph Strong

    Are you saying that the print preview on the print menu dialog doesn't match with what will actually print, but if you print at 100% it will print at the size expected? I didn't actually try that. What I did was pick a scale % that gave a print preview (on the print menu dialog) that looked about right and printed that way. It worked, but that seems like a pretty hokey way to do it. If I resize using Preview and then import the resulting JPG file into another graphics program, the sizing is perfect. The problem seems to be that when printing from Preview the program wants to automatically fill the printed page with the graphic, and I can't seem to tell it not to. I just want the actual image size.
    Thank you,

  • 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

  • When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added

    When printing from Preview, the document prints with large print and many lines added and pages added. Why does this happen?

    Thank you!!! That was the problem--scale was set at 200% (don't know why)--when I reduced it to 100% it printed perfectly.
    Thanks again for helping me resolve this problem.

  • I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    I am trying to delete pages I have crated in numbers, but can only see them in print preview. Without print preview I do not see them. How can I delete these pages, but keep others before and after?

    Hi Crushed,
    Numbers doesn't have pages. It has a canvas that holds objects such as tables and charts.
    Drag the objects from the bottom of the canvas onto the white space above. That will reduce the number of "pages" (sheets of paper) that will print.

  • Problem viewing and printing PDF files in Preview

    I have a document that was created in Adobe InDesign (CS4) with a photo that was converted to Grayscale from a CMYK image in Photoshop (CS4).
    That document was then Exported from InDesign as a high print quality PDF.
    Now when I open the file in Preview the photo appears on the screen as a "Negative" or "Reversed" image. And if I print the document, it too prints as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
    I don't know if this matters but if I send this document in Apple Mail it too previews as a "Negative/Reversed" image.
    Other that this photo everything else in the document (text and color logos) displays and prints fine.
    Any ideas?

    I have exactly the same problem with PDFs containing bitmaps created by Illustrator CS3 (and CS4) -- the bitmap appears as negative.
    It has to do with the compression method used for the bitmaps in the Adobe PDF creation. If it is JPEG or JPEG2000 the problem occurs, if it's ZIP or no compression, the image is fine.
    If have reported this to Apple as a bug already.
    10.6.2 has NOT fixed this behaviour.

  • Preview and print a Crystal report prompted for the sa password

    Dear All,
    Our customer has Crystal report add-on to be installed. When we Preview and print a Crystal report, we got a window prompted for the sa password. Even we type in a correct password, it still says wrong password...
    Every time when I open my report in Crystal Basic 2008 on the server, then go database expert >> My connections >> click + in front of the connection name, it asks my sa password. I type in my password then save and close. Next time when I open the report and go my connections, I have to type in my password again. This only happens on one customer.
    Any idea? Thanks a lot.
    Regards,
    Yuka

    Hi Yuka,
    1) All their SAP client workstation, they have to have use SQL2008 CD and install SQL Client on it
    Correct, MS does NOT support MDAC or WDAC when connecting to SQL 2008.
    2) Then go ODBC >> SQL Native Client 10.0 >> Create a new connection to SAP server. Should we use sa user or another use that has the same authorization as sa?
    Correct again if they are also using ODBC to connect, as for using the sa account or creating a new one is up to you. I suggest creating a Crystal account with what ever rights your app needs, this way if tracing it turned on etc. you can confirm who is actually running the report.
    3) Then from MY Crystal report, I have to use ODBC connection as well?
    Just to clarify, if you created your reprots using OLE DB then they can do so also. But you need to update your connection properties. Open each report click on Database, Set Location, scroll down to OLE DB and expand and then choose MS SQL Server Native 10 as your OLE DB provider, fill in all the logon info and then verify the database. Do the same for each subreport also.
    Save your report and either send them the new one or if you are doing this remotely then replace the original report.
    VERIFY your reports to confirm they still return correct data and do work as expected.
    Or if you are using ODBC then yes you do select the MS 10 driver with a new DSN. Then do the above to update the reports to all use ODBC as their data sources.
    Hope this is all clear now....
    Thanks again

  • Adding New View Objects/Link on "Preview and Print" - Order Acknowledgement

    Hi,
    Can we add New View Objects/View Links for the existing "Preview and Print" Order Acknowledgement.
    I want to add for the 2 new functionalities i.e., for Charges (from OE_PRICE_ADJUSTMENTS_V ) and the Line Level Notes, which is currently not supported by Oracle.
    Can anyone help me on acheving this functionality?
    Looking forward for your response.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Muru

    You can do that. You should first create the new business objects(AM, VO, VL) in jdeveloper, create your new regions in jdeveloper, associate the AM to the top level region(stackLayout) you create. Use personalization and add a stack layout in the Preview and Print page, set the extends property to point to the new region which you had created. Donot forget to deploy all the files in middle tier before doing the personalization.
    The AM which you had added to the stackLayout will automatically be nested with the root AM of the page during runtime.

  • Crystal Report Preview and Print error

    Hi,

  • How to Customize Preview and Print / Sales Order Acknowledgement

    Hi,
    Our client needs some additional attributes on a sales order acknowledgement print ( Preview and Print ) output.
    The current layout is based on ONTORDDFFN.xml and ONTORDDFN.xsd
    How to customize the same to include additional attributes like Territory and Shipping instructions etc.These new fields are not there in xsd or the xml.
    Appreciate your great help.
    Regards,
    Raju

    Per Oracle you need to implement the method "getPrintExtensionXMLFragment" of  PrintExtensionObject.java. Oracle has given the flexibility that getPrintExtensionXMLFragment can either return a XMLFragement or a sql query.. If the code in getPrintExtensionXMLFragment returns a string which starts with "select" Applications code will execute that query and the corresponding XML will be appended to the main XML. This needs to be written in a CustomClass and then set to the Profile " OM: Printed Document Extension Class Name".
    I would like to know if somebody has extensively added columns at the different levels (header, lines, Addresses, Line Discounts, Charges) and the same additional cols. were implemented in the CustomClass. Let me know.
    Regards,
    Rajesh.

  • Preview and Print restrictions in PDF

    Hi there,
    I bought the Adobe Type Basics pack, and I would like to use one of the fonts that has the Preview and Print license.
    The Preview and Print license states that "Preview & Print allows the font, either fully or as a subset, to be embedded in an electronic document solely for the purpose of viewing that document on screen and/or printing that document. While a font with a Preview & Print embedding permission (either through data in the font file or the font’s license agreement) may be embedded in an electronic document, the embedded font may not be used to further edit the document it is contained in or to edit or create other documents."
    If I use this font in a PDF file meant to be sold/distributed, am I violating any of these terms? As far as I know, you can't create an "editable PDF." PDFs are, to my understanding, relatively static--so I do not understand why there is such specific wording about the prohibition of "further edits."
    I am using MAC Pages, so I could use the additional password protection option (under the "Save as PDF" not "Export as PDF" section)  to prevent people from "copying text, images, and other content." I presume "other content" covers fonts, but I'm not sure. And I don't know if the password encryption will prevent "editing." Technically doing so would be encrypting the PDF, I believe. However, this would not be bulletproof protection. And I do not know if that will prevent font extraction.
    I would appreciate some help. From what I understand, all these points seem more relevant for PSD, AI, EPS and other workflow-type files.
    Cheers

    Thanks for posing this question.
    Although fonts have embedding restrictions baked into the font such as preview and print, the real restrictions are to be found in a font's EULA (End User License Agreement) which may have other restrictions including payment of royalties on copies of PDF files or any other asset in which the fonts are embedded.
    In the case of any and all fonts sourced from Adobe, not only do you have at least preview and print embedding privileges, but there are no restrictions or royalties required for distribution of files (i.e., PDF, EPS, eBooks, etc.) in which the Adobe fonts are embedded.
    In other words, you are “good to go” with Adobe fonts. On the other hand, make no assumption about fonts sourced from other font foundries. Many do not provide such liberal terms!
