Printing and Sizing Problems with PDF Files

I have grading keys saved as PDF files. When I open them in the Adobe Reader X, some come up looking fine, fitting nicely on an 8.5" x 11" page and ready for print. Others come up looking shrunken and in the middle of the page. When I try to resize and print these, I get all kinds of funky results.
What I want to do is process all the PDF files (grading keys) so that they will fit nicely on the 8.5x11, without the user having to do a bunch a stuff resizing, etc.
I have included links to two PDF files below. The first comes up fine in the Adobe Reader and the sond does not. Can anyone help me with this perplexing issue? Thanks.
www.goodnewsjail.org/good.pdf (Formatted correctly)
www.goodnewsjail.org/toosmall.pdf (Comes up looking scrunched on the page)
Note: I might add that when I open these files in Adobe Photoshop CS, the one above that looks good comes up with dimensions 23.687"x17.745", while the one that comes up looking funky has dimensions 10.24"x7.85". I am as confused as a termite in a yo-yo.

Both of your documents have the same size: 279.4mm x 215.9mm. The difference is that the 'good.pdf' has its content evenly distributed over the available size, the other one has its content minimized in the center, with a large white space around it (in Adobe Acrobat).
As for why it shows a different size in Photoshop, I have no idea.
There is not much you can do about it with Adobe Reader, but you can change the size using Photoshop or Illustrator. See attachment to this post.

Back up all data.
In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Problem with PDF files

Hello Experts,
I am having trouble with PDF files corrupting the folder in
which they are contained. If this sounds familiar, and you might be
able to help, please see if the following steps give you an idea of
the problem and the fix.
I want to link to PDF files from a web page. The copy,
consisting of several files, was provided by my client as Word
documents, and converted to PDF by me from within Microsoft Word.
I copied the PDF files into their own folder in my site, and
found later, after leaving, then reopening Dreamweaver, that the
folder was corrupted and unreadable. I got a message to run chkdsk.
I tried working around the folder by repeating the process
above in a new file, with the intention of ignoring the corrupted
one. The second folder also became corrupted.
I don't know if chkdsk is a Dreamweaver utility, or a Windows
utility, or if this is a Windows, Acrobat or Dreamweaver problem.
Does anyone know how to run chkdsk?
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance for the urgently needed support.
Richard

chkdsk used to be a DOS utility, now Windows. Depending on
the OS you have
and whether it's Mac or PC, you can run it several ways.
If XP > Start > Help and Support, type chkdsk in the
search
Other OSs, search for chkdsk.

HP Officejet100 Mobile L411a intermittent Bluetooth printing problems with PDF files

Hello,
Our company provides computer-hosted medical devices controlled by an application running on Windows7 computers we supply. We are currently using the HP Officejet 100 as a Bluetooth printer. In some of our customer offices, we experience printing problems using the printer in Bluetooth mode (there are never problems if the printer is connected by a USB cable.)
The printing problems typically affect PDF files printed through Adobe Reader 10, and the symptom is one of the following:
Send a print job to the printer. It doesn't print and eventually the print queue shows an "Error Printing" message. If any print jobs are removed and the printer is power-cycled, the problem goes away for the time being.
2. Same as above but power-cycling does not cure the problem and nothing will print, even a test page.
In either of these cases there are no problems if a USB cable is used.
The PDF files we are trying to print are typically 5 pages with 3 of the pages having a lot of graphics and the remainder being text only.
Has anyone seen this behavior and is there anything we can do about it?
Thanks.

I don't anything about this printer, but I do know that bluetooth is really flaky with large files since it's got a crappy transfer rate, could be that the transfer is dropping and freezing the printer up. Does it have encryption turned on?

Printing problem with PDF files

Hello. I recently have bought mac book (10.9). When I try to print pdf files, it does not work. I can print word files, but when I open a pdf file either by acrobat reader or preview, it does not print. Thank you very much for your help.

Also having other "permission" based problems as well. Other people cannot open my PDFs even though I have not used any security. I'm thinking about getting a previous version of Accrobat Pro and installing that.

N9 and problem with pdf-files

The problem is: I download an pdf file from internet. Filename is containg skandinavian characters which are converted as "%D6 etc." When I try to open the file with N9 I get an error similar to: "file is corrupted, can not open the file". Yet the same file works fine with Nokia C5-00 and with my Macbook laptop. Any idea how to fix this problem?

is the device actually sold in your country of origin, or was it imported.
not that it should really matter, but sometimes could be an issue.
you could also try to rename the file and then try to open it.

Can I edit with Smart Print the same way I could with Smartweb Printing and then save as PDF files.

With Vista basic and SmartWeb Printing you had the option to edit your pages and then to save or print them in the PDF format. This way you could customise various pages pages, save them to a file and then reopen the whole file to see if you wanted to make any further changes before printing the final copy.

Maybe you don't need that. I prefer using Apple's Image Capture for scanning.
Right now I am working on scanning documents into PDFs. The Canon software lets me create multipage PDFs which is something I've been wanting to do. My question is, is it best to scan images as JPEGs and then save them as a multipage PDF or is it best to scan into PDF directly (which the scanner seems to offer as well) and then save as a multipage PDF? I'm thinking in terms of the best optimization of file size vs. image quality and things like that.
Let the software do it for you. That will be fewer steps for you. Image-based PDFs are going to be large. There is no way around that. If they are too large, you can use Preview's Save As feature and play around with the Quartz Filter.
Is the scanner actually doing anything differently when scanning into JPEG vs. PDF? Or is the scanning all the same and it's just the saving of the file that is different?
Scans are scans. The JPEG file format is lossly and will look worse than other types. If you are scanning in photographs, the JPEGs will look good. If you are scanning in crisp text, JPEGS will have lots of artifacts and look bad.
In general what dpi setting is usually sufficient to use to scan a basic text document without taking up too much file space?
I pretty much always keep it at 300 unless I need something special or when the original is really small and I intend to blow it up.

Problem with PDF files opening up in code on IMac OS 10.6.6

Just bought a new IMac three weeks ago (my first Apple Computer after years of using a PC). I've been using their TextEdit program to create simple documents, and routinely save the documents as PDF's to make it easier to share with clients. Everything has worked fine until three days ago - now whenever I open a PDF file it shows up in code. This is happening to documents I created several weeks ago, it is happening to new documents I am creating, and it is happening to PDF files clients are sending to me. (For instance, today I received a PDF file attached to an email from a client - if I hit "quick look" I can view the document with no problem, but if I hit save, or double click the document in order to print, the document shows up in code (and prints in code). Eek! I just spent over an hour with Apple support trying to figure out a solution, but they ended up just as baffled as me, and directed me to call Adobe. Hoping someone can help me figure out what I need to do to resolve this. Thank you!

Thank you George for your response to my plea for help. Late yesterday I was able to get in touch with a friend familiar with Mac and PC and she figured out my main problem was trying to use TextEdit as a primary document program. (She also had me try to open some PDF files with preview, but they still came up as code.) She quickly realized I would be able to open these files in my documents file - I was trying to open them up in the TextEdit program. Anyway, the main thing I'm realizing is I need to get Microsoft Office to avoid these challenges in the future. As you can tell, I'm not up to speed on computer stuff, but my friend said the Apple support guy should have realized right away that using TextEdit the way I was attempting to use it was my real problem, not an issue with Adobe Reader.
Thanks again!

Ouick Time problems with pdf files

Help!! I can't view web pages that contain pdf files in the pdf format; the QT logo appears and I just get a picture of the first page of the pdf. If a download option is available, I can usually get it to download, but if the link takes me to a page where the pfd resides I just get that first-page display. I have tried to keep Acrobat Reader open while accessing the content, but it doesn't help. This happens with Firefox, Safari & Opera.
I need to download some forms to print & fill out, so any help to solve this problem soon would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all,
Bee

I don't how things got changed, but I have resolved this issue on my computer. After Googling and searching in other forums, etc., here's what I did. I had Reader open. Closed it and relaunched. When it opened I got a message that Adobe Reader was not configured as an "internet helper" and asked if I wanted to repair this. I said yes. Then...since I ticked and unticked various other preferences trying to resolve this, I had to go back to Safari prefs and make sure that Open Safe Files was turned on. I think I quit Safari and restarted. Then it worked!!! Clicked the PDF link and it downloaded as a PDF into my downloads folder. All is back to normal.

Problem with pdf files from ABBYY FineReader 11

On desktop this file opening normaly, but on PDF Viewer for Android Version 1.00.1045 on my Android device it opening very very slowly and the following pages don't want to open at all. At the same time other pdf files downloaded from Net is opening normaly.

How can I improve pdf files that I can read it on Android? Its imperative to have page picture above (with recognized text above its working very fast).

Please try it on Adobe Reader version 10.1.0 , Please note that this forum is for Adobe Reader on android and not for PDF Viewer.

Problems with PDF files going digital

Little white lines. I've never had a problem printing a PDF that had those little white grid lines in it but now I am using the same InDesign file to also create a digital issue and the white lines are beyond my brain's toolkit. They won't show up in the iPad version but they will on android or vice versa. Sometimes a background will drop completely out of an ad that has behaved all the way to the end. I must be missing some step - some flattening or rasterizing or standing on my head step. Here are the PDF settings I'm using for my digital PDF: Standard: None; Compatibility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5); Optimize for Fast Web View is checked; I've got Image Quality set to maximum on the compression page and Monochrome at 1200 so the text stays clear when you zoom in. Once I process the PDF it goes to my boss who runs it through INHouse Digital Publishing app. It's at that point that ad backgrounds will drop out or misbehave. Any advice is most welcome!! Please help!

I most strongly suspect that your “INHouse Digital Publishing app” is flattening any and all transparency in your PDF file causing flattening artifacts.

Problem with PDF files created by Indesign

PDF files created by Adobe Indesign come up as blank pages whereas PDF files created by Mac OS X or Apple's Pages display OK. Is there a difference in the way PDF files are created?

How to disable print and download button of pdf file when i am opening mozila firefox using java script

i am opening pdf file in firefox browser in right side i am seeing print and download option
i want to disable it by program like javascript, by manualy i can disable it ,
actually i am opening pdf file in my website by using firefox browser so i do not want to any can download or print the pdf file

If it's that critical, you could explore this partial workaround:
Use a script or configuration file on your server that changes the disposition based on the user agent. In other words, for Firefox, send an attachment disposition that forces a download outside the browser instead of the default (inline) disposition that allows Firefox to display the PDF in a tab.
Now... that won't stop the user from dragging and dropping the downloaded file on a Firefox tab to use the built-in PDF viewer, but most users would tend to open the file in their default viewer (e.g., stand-alone Adobe Reader).

Best regards,

Hi,
Office programs are specific. They will create a temp file when edit, then the temp file will be deleted when close. So Delete permission is needed for users to saving Office files like Excel/Word.
For more detaile information, please refer to the thread below:
Special Permissions - User cannot save files
