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!

"Scale to fit paper size" ......doesn't

It's often convenient to scale a web page down to fit the entire page on letter size.
This is doable with the Scale field in the print dialog box.
On the other hand, I can't get Paper Handling>"Scale to fit paper size" to work in Safari.
It works in Pages, TextEdit, Preview, and Word.
Why not Safari?
I've found posts on the Internet making the same observation, but no answers.

Suggest you post this on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having trouble with:

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.

Quartz filters are not working (for PDF)

It seems that quartz filters are not working for me under Mountin Lion. I have tried to export, print, etc everything in Preview, Automator, ColorSync. It simply won't apply the filters to my PDFs.
Anyone experienced similar issues? Is it a known bug?

I kinda have the same problem, except its only my custom filters that aren´t working in ColorSynch. The other filters get applied as usual, but I can not change any of the preformed filters within ColorSynch, and the "live update from filter inspector" doesn´t work if I try to apply changes or use my custom filters.
The custom filters I have, were created prior to my upgrade from snow leopard to moutain lion.
I´ve understood that there has been multiple problems with the filters in lion ++
If there isn´t a quick fix to this, does anybody know of any programs I can use to apply filters without having to buy Adobe Pro, my use is not for simply decreasing file size, but mostly for editing colors prior to prinitng. And its not sufficient to use the preformed filters unfortunately.

Daily lot size not working for more than 5 days grouping

Dear All,
I want to create the procurement proposal for 6 days once. So I have created new lot size ZB by copying TB and maintained no of periods as 6.
Assigned the lot size in Material master. After MRP run, the procurement proposal created for every two weeks on Monday. It is not created as expected (6 days once). Is there any other settings needs to be maintained to achieve the requirement?. The same problem happening for the no of periods 7,8,9 also with daily lot size.
I don't want to use the planning calendar for this. Daily lot size is working only upto no of periods as 5.
Could you please someone explain the standard functionality of daily lot size with combination of no of periods?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ganesh

Ganesh,
Check if your lot size is something similar to screenshot below. It is important that you have lot sizing procedure as 'Period lot size' and period as 'Daily lot size'
With the above lot size (number of period as 8 days) I can see expected results.

Himanshu

Thumbnail preview is not working for pdf file in KM

Hi Experts,
I have upload one pdf file. I have changed profile of one KM content folder from System Default to Thumbnails(For that Click on context menu of folder-> settings-> presentation->click on Select Profile ->check on Thumbnails-> Click on OK) but it is not changed. Rest of other file format's(gif etc) icon is changing.

Hi Viraj,
You need to upload an image "pdf.gif" in \etc\public\mimes\images folder.
Also, you need to define the MIME Type for PDF documents in portal.
Navigate to System Administration -> System Configuration -> Knowledge Management -> Content Management -> Utilities -> MIME Types.
Check whether you already have a MIME Type for PDF or not. Else you can create a new Type "pdf" with MIME Type "application/pdf".

WritePreprocessNotifier not working for PDF

Hello everybody,
for my Plugin I need to remove artobjects from the document before saving and add them again after saving.
I used the kAIDocumentWritePreprocessNotifier which worked perfect for all *.ai files.
BUT with *.pdf it doesn't work. Opening the pdf afterwards again in AI the Objects are not there - as expected - opening in Acrobat the objects are there.
This means that the DocumentWritePreprocess lasts until the AI part of the pdf is saved and when saving the pdf part of the pdf the objects are in the document again.
Notifie all the different Save commands is also not usefull, cause when saving a new document or saving as and then pressing cancel all the object which should be removed are gone - of course.
Has anybody an idea how to solve this? Or how to catch the cancel event? Or is there any beforeExportToPdf notifier?
Thanks!

Peter, thanks for the answer!
At the moment I am using all these *CommandPreNotifiers in combination with the *PostNotifiers but unfortunately there is no Notifiers for a possible cancel event. So if I do a SaveAs for example and then cancel the progress my document is edited. These edits are undone after the save with the postNotifiers but they don't notifie when cancelled.

Open in... not working for PDF in iOS6

Hi,
I have just upgraded to iOS 6 and can no longer view PDF files from email on my new iPad. The preview image appears fine and when I tap and hold on it, the "Open in.." window appears with app icons. When I pick an app, the popover goes away and nothing happens. It doesn't seem to be an issue with other files, just PDF. I have tried picking a number of apps and the issue is the same. The same file opens fine on my iphone too. I can use the Open In functionality from GoodReader so the problem only seems to be with Mail.
Has anyone else experienced issues with this? Is there any way of fixing it? I'd also like to turn off the PDF preview in Mail if possible so the file just shows as an icon.
Many thanks,
Vince

@Aceonace:
Thank you for your reply - looks like Apple raised the limit of "open-in-apps" only from 10 (per filetyp) to "18 minus x" ?!?
(I hoped they would completely give up the limit!)
@vchaney:
Did you too have to reduce the number of "PDF-file-apps" to "18 minus x" ?
And do I understand it right that the "to large" number of apps (with the ability to open PDF-files ...) DID create the described "open-in-problem" ONLY in Apples MAIL-APP but (for example) NOT in GoodReader ?
Thank you in advance.

Quick look in mail4.4 not working for pdfs?

Hi. some of my PDF attachments in mail don't show up with the PDF icon, it just says "mail attachment" with a blank white square aas the icon and whenever I click on it, it opens with textedit full of letters and numbers. I also can't quick llok the attachmets but when I go "open with" Adobe reader, it's fine. Is this a glitch in mail or is there something I can do, because it's really annoying! Thanks

Yea, I did do a Time Machine restore not too long ago. Perhaps that was the cause. In any case, I went by the apple store day before yesterday to see if they could help me (I use quick look a lot!), and the tech's opinion was the my whole system was running slow and buggy, so he suggested to go ahead and spend the time doing a clean install of the OS. I did this yesterday... quick look for office docs is back, and my system is soooooo much faster and problem free now. Looking back, the ability of OS X to reinstall without erasing the boot disc is a blessing and curse. I upgraded instead of cleanly reinstalling when I got Snow Leopord, and recently did a time machine restore when I was having some problems. With windows, I was doing a clean reinstall at least once a year. Perhaps doing it once every two years or so is a good idea for mac. The biggest headache is importing all my old mailboxes into mail, and sorting through the duplicates that get created.
Good luck

How to resize to fit paper size? I have Envy 7640 printer.

I accidentally was able to resize a photo the other day to fit the paper. Now when I want to do it, I can't figure out how to do it. I have a Mac. Thank you in advance.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are wondering how to resize to fit paper size, with your HP Envy 7640 on a Mac. I am happy to help! What version of the Mac Operating System are you using? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. What is the name of the program you are printing from? In the meantime, please see this article, OS X Mountain Lion: Scale a document to fit your printer’s paper, as I am sure the settings are universal between Mac OS X Operating Systems. Hope this works! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Live Preview is not working for me

Live Preview is not working for me. I've read many other forums and tried everything and I still get the same issue that everyone else has mentioned. I'm on Chrome Version 34.0.1847.116 m . I have multiple user profiles with Chrome so not sure if that makes a difference.
Adobe Edge team, for a lightweight browser that should be easy to use, this does not make it easy. Hopefully you can implement a fix soon that works for all cases as I was really looking forward to trying this out and I'm unable to.

I am having issues as well.
Running through the intro tutorials - Just the basic HTML tutorial files. When initiating live preview, I restarted Chrome as prompted for debugging, After restart the preview page loads fine a single time, works for about 10 seconds or so and then disconnects. I cannot get it to reconnect without restarting the program, but the same thing happens.
Live Preview Error: Unable to Load Development Page
The live preview icon remains orange - as if connected, but no changes write to the preview window in HTML or CSS.
Ive seen the other threads, but none of those items seem to fix my issue.
Anything I can do here besides wait for update? Love the basic product - the editing features are awesome, but until live preview + reliable FTP is set, I'll probably stick with current coding solutions.
Running an Imac OSX 10.9.2
Chrome 34.0.1847.116
