Printer page size problems

I have an HP 1180C Deskjet which is set up with A3 paper as the default size. All programs recognise this apart from Adobe Reader which resets it somehow to A4 size. So whenever I receive a pdf that is A3 size I have to go into printer properties and reset the size back to A3. Very frustrating. I've always had this problem but have finally had enough! Is there a setting which tells Reader to just accept the default paper size for the printer that is selected
Thanks in anticipation

How to allow domain users to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences

Hi
I am able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in Printer Preferences in admin login but not able to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domian users login...
can I have a solution to customize Adobe PDF printer page size in domin user login

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.

Fix header/footer size to print page size

Hi, is there a way to fix the font size of the header/footer to the print page size?
Example, when printing 1 PDF in letter, but the pages are from various sized originals, I want all the headers and footers to be the same size on the final letter size printed document. Currently the header and footer changes to the original page size.
HELP?????

CR doesn't have an option to print just one part of the page. Your only option is to hide all parts you don't want to print first.
Also, you should post your question to the Legacy Developer forum. I'll move it there for you.

Excel to Adobe PDF page size problems

I am using Excel 2007 on a Windows XP setup with Acrobat 9.0 PDFM OfficeAddin. I want to convert my Excel sheets to 8.5"x11" size pages, but they come out as approx. 22"x30" pages. I've checked the page size setting in Excel and the Adobe preference settings and they are both set for 8.5x11, but the pdf page size is always much larger! What is causing this and what do I need to do to get 8.5x11 size pdf pages?
Thanks you for your help. I've pulled out most of my hair by now!

Change your printer to the Adobe PDF printer and then set the cell sizes in Excel. This is just the normal Excel adjustment to the printer.

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!

What's the maximum print (page) size supported by CS5 64-bit?

I'm using 64-bit Windows 7, Photoshop CS5 64-bit, and have 24GB of RAM. I've put together some panoramas - big ones, up to 20'-30' long. I know the 32-bit version of Photoshop on a 32-bit processor and OS had a page size limit of around 108" long or so. To print anything longer than that required the use of an expensive RIP.
Does anyone know if my 64-bit goodness will allow me to print panos that are 20 to 30 feet long, without having to purchase a RIP? I'd simply give it a try, but I hate to waste a ton of paper just to find out that it wouldn't print completely. Any ideas?
Thanks much!
Scott

I think that some print drivers have a limit too, you might want to state what driver you are using.
Some printers do not use a driver, but an export module, that should alleviate all limits.
I remember a very old 30.000 pixel limit, that, I think has been lifted. you want to check the reference documents.

Itsmobile Alv page size problems

Hi All
I am having 2 problems with alv grids on the itsmobile.
My first problem is with the page size, in that I now have a very large scroll area. The horizontal scroll bar is down near the status bar and I also have two vertical scroll bars that is eating into my screen size.
I have l looked at note 1356836 and I have updated the alvpagesize in my gui config but this has made no difference.
Its weird as I have buttons that appear right underneath the custom control for the alv grid and they are appearing correctly under the blank alv grid, but yet there is a large vertical scroll area on mobile screen.
My second problem is that the select all button is being displayed even though I have this turned off in the layout ( p_layout-NO_ROWMARK = abap_true.) This is causing my horizontal layout to scroll of the page as it is adding about 3 character to the width of the screen.
We are on 701 SAPKB70105.
Many thanks
Darren

Hi All
You can also copy the css file in itsmobile to your internet service.
By putting the following code into the css and updating the gui config in sicf for the internet service you can remove the vertical scroll bar.
this problem only seems to happen when you use the mobile4 gernation style.

Page size problem with pdf export

I have a large text document created in Pages (about 300 pages). It's in A5 size (about 8x5). But when I export it to pdf, the page size switches to 8.5 x 11, screwing up the layout. Any ideas on what's going wrong in the export process? Thanks.

Page size problem while creating character mode report

Hi All,
I've designed a report in character based layout design. The report needs to be loaded into NOTEPAD and then EXCEL sheet. I need maximum page width for this report. I kept page size of width 23" in layout design and pulled the fields so that to get maximum room. When I run the report and load it into NOTEPAD, I don't see the page width, meaning that it gives me normal 140 column size which is of course not what want.
Please can someone provide some assistance in this scnario.
Thanks - Zahir

The character mode and bitmapped page sizes are different, and independant of each other.
For character mode you need to set the width in the following places:
1) In the appropriate layout section property palette (assuming you're on 6.0 or above).
2) In the .prt file that you're referencing in desformat to produce the output.
If you set the width in both these places to the size you want you should be okay.
Alternatively, you may want to look at the delimited format to generate output for spreadsheets.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Print Paper Size Problem after Mavericks Upgrade

I migrated my Apps, Data and System Settings from a Macbook running OSX Lion to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks.
The problem I now have is that the application 'Family Tree Maker 2' cannot get the paper size right. No matter which Paper size I select, it is shown as half size in the Application Print Preview screen and this error carries through to actual printing.
so A4 210 by 297 mm displays as 5.8 x 4.1 inches (which is Half Size).
The problem is significant because the application formats it's output to fit into half of the available space.
I have unsuccessfully tried;
- removing and reinstalling the Application.
- Adding my Brother Laser printer with the latest Mavericks compatible driver.
- Resetting the printing system.
- Repairing disk permissions
- Adding a new User Account
- Deleting plists associated with com.ancestry
iWork Pages is working correctly.
I have raised this with ancestry.com however it appears that I am the only person that has experienced this problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Problem is worse than that. Whilst the Paper is shown as half size, the family tree diagram boxes are produced twice as wide as they should be.
If I select A4 Paper, a diagram that would fit on one page is now spread across two.
If I select A3 Paper, the preview indicates the paper size as A4 8.3 x 5.8 inches however the diagram size and position on the paper are unchanged and I just get loads of white space around the outside of the diagram.
It does sound like an Application problem but it is still working fine on my old OSX Lion machine. Something has happened in the migration.

The printer page size setting is not working in Photoshop 5.1 with Xerox printer

I am attempting to print an output size larger than 8.5 x 11 and Photoshop will not change the size even though the printer setting is now at the larger size. Illustrator and other programs will print but but Photoshop fails. This is an issue in both the 32 and 64 bit versions. Help!

I found the following on the Xerox site...tip of the hat to T Robinson:
Re: Photoshop CS6 on Win 7x64 prints only letter size on Workcentre 7655
03-20-2013 12:28 PM
We have a Xerox WorkCentre 7435 PCL6, and I have been having a similar problem. I found a workaround in Photoshop CS5, which I will describe in case it is helpful to others. I just upgraded to Photoshop CS6 however, and the workaround no longer works with it. Instead I get an error message if I print a Job History Report. The message is partially cut off at the right margin of the page, but the part I can read says, "Completed with error(016-799): Print Instructi...on Fail detected in Decomposer." (The ellipsis indicates the part of the message that is cut off. What follows it appears on the next line down. I downloaded all updates to CS6 to see if that would help, but it did not.
Here is the workaround that worked for me on CS5:
1) Click on "Print Settings" in the Print dialog
2) On the pulldown Paper menu, select "Advanced Paper Selection"
3) Select the tray where your tabloid (or legal) sized paper is loaded
4) Click on the button at the right end of the "Paper Size" field to display the Paper Size dialog.
5) Click on the down arrow button at the right end of the "Original Document Size" field and select "Tabloid" (or "Legal") from the menu.
6) Click OK to close each of the open dialogs til you get back to the Print dialog and then print your document. The print preview should update to show you a preview reflecting the selected paper size. (This may take a few seconds to happen.)
This worked for me in CS5. Unfortunately, as noted above, it does not seem to work in CS6. The only workaround I can come up with for CS6 is to save the file as a PDF and then print it from Acrobat. This works without a problem, but it's a lot of trouble to go to every time I have to print something other than letter size.
If anyone finds a better workaround in CS6, please let me know.

Reducing Print page size

Hi All,
          I have used printing job in my project. I have added images, shapes and text etc in printing group. While printing, it takes some two to three minutes to getting print
bcoz of file size. I have used canvas to print all those things. Could any one help me to reduce this file size or how can i print without taking this long time.
         Thank you in advance.

Hi ,
        I have used printjob in my project for printing. I have a stage with images, shapes and text etc in printing group. While printing, it takes some two to three minutes to getting a single page. The Print Spooler window shows that 60MB for each page.
       file size is 60MB per page, which takes long time to print any solution?

Giant Printer/Page size list - how do I manage them?

I use InDesign/Quark/Illustrator and my output needs to be a .PS 100% of the time. So I don't need any other PPDs othe than my PDF 7 PPD and no more than 4 paper sizes. but every time I go to print to a PostScript file I have to navigate through a huge list of PPDs and same for paper size. Have you encountered this problem before. Please help! THANKS!!

I have the same issue. There are several redundant printers that are in my printer drop down list.
For whatever reason, the printer that is powered on, and showing online, does not seem to want to stay connected to the computer. The only solution seems to be to uninstall the printer and re-install it. When that happens, it leaves a copy of
the printer que in the system with the documents waiting to print still listed.
Likely, somewhere in the registry, there is a ghost file that cannot be accessed from the main interface.
ANY answers would be appreciated!
