Print to different printers by page size

Hi, i have a problem, i need to print documents that have inside a lot of different size pages(a4,A3,a1,A2,A0, a4x3 e.t.c.). Is it possible automaticly somehow to redirect a4,A3 pages to one printer and a1,A2,A0, a4x3 e.t.c. to other while printing whole file. I think this function will be useful in next acrobat version.
something like this,dewading A3 to two A4 not needed
to acrobat team:
Did you thought about function that can make templates to printer like it made in AUTOCAD ? (*.pc3 files). It will be usefull when printer driver is not possible to save alot of page size formats. Autodesk fix this problem by making templates(like virtual printers) through that is possible to print, and in that is possible to save alot of page size formats that don't have original printer driver. It will be great if acrobat could use AUTOCAD *.pc3 templates to print through.

Hi,
Normally Outlook rules only print via the default printer, selecting the printers is beyond the control of Outlook build-in rules.
If you have a rule written via a script, I suggest you post the question and the script to MSDN forum, in which you can get script specific support:

Printing to different printers and paper sizes

I have Lion 10.7.4
I have Parralels 7 and run AutoCAD in Parrallels
I have a HP Deskject 9800 (USB connected) and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fmw color MFP (wifi connected) all accessable from my MAcBookPro
Printing is a hassle from Autocad with my MAC OS. In WinXP, (prior to switching to MAC) I could assign a paper size to each printer in printer set up. Then when printing from AutoCAD I would just select the print I wanted for the paper size and done..... perfect!
However, in Mac with Parrallels AutoCAD does not really talk correctly through to the printers on the Mac side. So I have to go into Lion printer settings and change the paper size all the time between tabloid and US letter. I always forget and waste a lot of paper.
Looking for a way to set a Lion OS printer to a specific paper size and have it maintain that paper size while a different printer has a differenet paper size, but this doesn't seem possible.
Every time I change the paper size in the Lion OS for one printer it changes it for all printers.
Can anyone help me with this?

That is not currently possible. See a similar discussion here. You may also want to give Apple feedback if you do not find a convenient work around. You can submit feedback at here.

Smartform printing on different printers

Dear Experts,
We have a PO form which is supposed to be printed on different printers across NA, Europe and Asia locations. The printer types are different with different device types too. While printing on these forms, the border in main window and footer is not visible in some of the printers. We have resolved this problem by doing adjustment in margin in SPAD. But users do not want this solution as this may require to change many printers in SPAD. They use these printers for other SAP document printing too, hence they are reluctant with this idea.
Do we have any standard solution?

Hi,
Thanks for the information.
But we have to change the device type for each printer. They are already using these old device types since long.
Even with SAPWIN, we have to change vertical and horizontal shift in SPAD transaction.
Do we have any other solution?
Regards,
Raja

Cannot print my pdf's the printer say its the wrong page size? Powerpoint Word Excel are all fine

Every time I try to print a pdf my printer now says No paper-Custom Size. It used to work fine and other programs work fine.

I had this problem. The error message said that this document cannot be printed and after clikcking ok, another message said that the page wasn't selected or something like that. I went to Programs and Features in Vista Control Panel and deleted Adobe Reader 9. Then I rebooted and went to adobe.com and installed the 9.1 version. Now, I can print my documents. I hope this helps you!

Different B5 template page sizes in Illustrator and Indesign

Hello, I just created new document in Indesign but also needed to prepare backgroud image in Illustrator. What I've found is that B5 template page sizes are different in both apps. Is it for any reason?

Hmm... that is quite strange. B5 should definitely be 176 × 250mm. I would just manually correct it. But as for the reason why, I have no idea. Could be an glitch. A 7mm dif on the width and 6 on the hight makes no sense to me. I know Illustrator likes to round values off, but that's not the case here.

Automatically print to different printers from outlook

I apparently have a unique situation that I can't seem to find any information on. I need to find a way to print emails to any one of the 65 different printers installed on my work computer as soon as they come in. The printer that the email gets printed
to is determined by something specific in the body of the email. I setup a rule that would run a script I created that would change my default printer to the printer I need the emailed printed to and then forward the email to another folder that triggered
another rule to print it. Unfortunately, Outlook 2013 requires my to click on file and print before it actually changes the printer to the one specified in the script.
Please help!
Thanks!

CS4 printing does not list tabloid page size

Mac OS: Snow Leopard
Printer: HP Deskjet 9300
Driver: Gutenberg v.5.2.3
I'm attempting to print a picture that is 11 x 17 inches. When I choose page size, the choices are enormous but oddly enough there is no 11 x 17. I went ahead and customized this size and highlighted it. However, when the picture prints, it only prints to an 8.5 x 11 page size.
What am I doing wrong?
franny

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the info.
I deleted the printer and reinstalled the HP Deskjet 9300 software that came with the printer.
A couple of things: in the printer setup there is a selection of available drivers to choose from. One of them is HP Deskjet 9300 - Gutenprint v5.2.3. So this is the only driver choice with Snow Leopard.
I then went to the HP website and it turns out that they have stopped updating product support and drivers for earlier models, causing much anger with HP's customers. So I shot off an email to the CEO of HP, Mr. Hurd. (a lot of good that'll do)
So my printer is useless in CS4.
Won't purchase another HP printer again.
Thanks again,
franny

Print Booklet, can't select page size.

Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to print an a4 page size booklet using the print booklet feature.
As I wan't to print full bleed, I am printing oversized a3.
It all looks fine in the preview, but when I open in distiller and export as a pdf the spreads are broken into pages.
Pretty much I would like the pdf as paginated spreads, instead of pages.
Pages are not in spreads
what it should look like (as a paginated spread)

My screen is from CS5.5,
In the Print Booklet dialog there is a Print Settings button wherein you would define the paper and orientation.

I can't get my pdf printing screen to accept a page size change to an archetectual D.

I can't get this new version to accept a 24 x 36 arch D page. I've always used reader for pdf files to plot here at work, but since the new download, its not performing at all.
I have no problem plotting from my autocad program, just plotting full size pdf drawings.
If anyone can help I would apprieciate greatly.
Chuck

Just so everyone knows, I un-installed reader 10 and re-installed 9.2 and my plotter is back working perfectly. there must be something in the newest version that make plotting a problem, maybe not printing with normal size paper.
Thanks for all that looked at my problem even though no one answered>

Invoice need to be printed in different printers

will it be possible with SAP standard.
Thanks

'Innovation is key', I am an ABAPer and I cannot begin to explain how many things can go wrong with this whole idea. For starters, how do you suggest to count the number of lines? Even with the old-fashioned impact printers that have a fixed number of lines per page it is not an easy task and one would have to make too many assumptions to do that (and assumption is mother of all screw-ups.) With the laser printers that can print fancy forms with non-proportional fonts this task is close to impossible.
Even inside the form where we have a variable that stores the total number of pages, its value is sometimes incorrect - just check the Forms forum.
Yes, many things are possible with ABAP, but if anyone would come to me with such requirement, I would strongly urge them to reconsider. It doesn't seem to be a legal requirement or a "must have". Whatever they save in paper or printer cost (I can't imagine another reason for this) will not justify the cost of development and maintenance. It is not some "set it and forget it" thing. With any slightest change in the form, print program, data, printer configuration, etc. the program might have to be adjusted too.

How do I print a spread with multiple page sizes?

Hello fellow designers!!!!
I'm trying to make a production dummy by printing double sided. My document has an extra fold on the outer edge (see attached image).
I want to print 'D11-D12' as one spread with the reverse side as 'D13-12', so that I can simply fold in the outer edge and spiral bind the spine.
When I input the range 'D11-D12, D13-12' the printer prints 'D11' on one side and 'D12' on the reverse same with 'D13' and '12'.
How do I get this spread happening the way I want? I'd appreciate any help I can get as time is mot my friend on this one!
Thanks,
Gordon

Sandee, I think you're onto something here. I've managed to separate the spreads from the spine as you suggested, however, I'm still getting the same result. The preview in the print dialogue is exactly what I want, yet the printout itself still print 'D11' on the back of 'D12'. I'm under a mountain of failed printouts! In the end I gave up and just taped the extra fold to the dummy manually.
I'd love to figure this out though for future use, so any more input would be divine!
Thank you so much for helping out!

How to read tags from pdf to print in different printers (PCL or PS)

Hello from Spain.. I would apreciate some help who to read tags from pdf to discriminate PDF Production tag for send print PDF to printer job using driver PCL or PS. I get trubles when print PDFs files made by PDFcreator (Ghostscript, intermediate PDF from PS) in PCL job printer. I need to eval tags from PDF for send command line os javascript inside Adobe Acrobat to print in the correct job printer: PCL or PS...
Thanks.

As noted you cannot access the "Tag" of a PDF but you can access the meta data of a PDF and one of the items recorded in the meta data is the "producer". This meta data tag is supposed contain the name of the program that produced the PDF. One can access this through the "info" property or the "metadata" property of the doc object.
var cProducer = this.info.Producer; // get the producer application for this PDF;
console.show();
console.clear();
console.println("This PDF was created by " + cProducer);
Be aware that the user can easily modify the Producer information with Acrobat, JavaScript, or other application after the PDF has been created.

How do I fix my printer when it prints at different places on page?

Thanks in advance,
Setup:
HP Photosmart C4280
Windows XP Service Pac 2
Office 2007
Adobe Bundle CS2
Details:
I have preprinted forms on 4x6 semi-gloss paper.
I have attemtped to print in the blank fields.
When I press print, the printer does not consistenty begin in the same place,
so adjusting the document/image is not applicable as it is not printing in the same place.
I have attempted to print from Illustrator, photoshop, acrobat, word, & windows picture and fax viewer
and got the same results.
Printing on letter sized paper works great (and I love the printer by the way).
Is there a hardware problem, or is it software/driver issues?
How do I fix this?
Thanks again for any help.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue. The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media. You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel. Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

PDF Printer Page Size Limitation

I have been creating documents in Microsoft Publisher 2007 & have been trying to convert them to PDF via the Acrobat PDF Maker. When I am dealing with 11x17 & Poster size (36"x48"), the PDFMaker gets into the Converting Process (60%) then displays the following option:
PDF Page Size in Adobe PDF printer is small causing pages to be split.
Press OK to convert without preserving transparency, bookmarks & links.
Press Cancel to choose a bigger sheet (at least 17.00 by 11.00 inches)
I hit cancel & have changed every Page Size option I can find including:
the Change Conversion Settings, in the Adobe PDF tab in Publisher
Conversion Settings: (Created custom setting with default page size)
Printers & Faxes in Control Panel
Adobe PDF Printer
Printing Preferences
Changed default settings & page size
I even changed the output paper 11x17
Yet, it never fails to try to convert everything into letter size. It seems as though it won't do anything over Letter size.
I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard & running Windows XP.
PLEASE HELP!

WOW! I was amazed to see that within minutes of posting my initial thread, I tried something that works.
Apparently, the only way is will actually convert is if you select the regular Print option in the File tab. Then, change the Printer to Adobe PDF & the Paper Size to 11x17. It also worked for 36"x48" becuase I created a custom size named "Poster", so I changed the paper size to Poster & it worked!
I hope this helps someone. I searched for an existing forum on this issue off & on for MONTHS before creating this thread. If anyone has any suggestions why the Adobe PDF tab /PDF Maker wouldn't work, I'd like to know.

Merge TIFF file Resolution and page size differs. Clue ?!

Hi All,
I'm able to merge multiple TIFF files into one. But the resultant multi page TIFF file has different resolution and page size than from the source files. The width and height will get exchanged, also those texts are appear stretched.
Noteably, it happens particularly with FAX pages of TIFF files, not with any others (like printed page TIFF files).
can you help me ? Please write here your points.
Thanks a lot,
Vasu

I see I attached the link to the wrong discussion. It should have been this one. Scroll down to the workaround posted by Tomas, from August 26th.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1078666&start=0&tstart=0
Anyway, yes, that's sort of what I mean. On my iWeb 06 website, I've scaled all my pictures down to 800px x 600px with a resolution of 72dpi for online viewing. The original photos, say 3000px x 2000px at 300dpi, are simply saved on my harddrive and not used in iWeb. The thought behind that was for faster loading times for people visiting my website. I'm pretty sure when I saved these reduced copies in Photoshop, the default color profile was sRGB. However, when I look at my site on my office (Windows) PC, the pictures appear dark, especially Black & White ones. But the color profile is a separate issue covered in Tomas' workaround.
Now, maybe I'm operating on a false assumption, but I thought with this new download feature in iWeb and .Mac Web Gallery you would want to use your photos in full resolution so that when a visitor sees a picture they like, they can download the picture from your site AND could even print it if they so chose. Again, I'm assuming you would use your full resolution photos when you build your site and iWeb would do its own scaling for viewing on the web, but the full resolution photos would be somehow held in reserve for the moment when someone selects 'download'. I'm just concerned that using an unscaled, full resolution photos, would slow down the page building speed so much, that visitors would be too border to bother waiting for the pages to load. Thanks.
