Printing Landscape pdf's

I have a problem printing A3 paper copies of .pdf's in windows 8. I always seem to loose half of the document area. I don't have this problem if the .pdf is created in portrait mode.
Please help.

Printing landscape pdf to Linux CUPS shared printer

I'm having a problem printing landscape pdf documents from Preview to printers on my Linux CUPS server. Documents print portrait style, with the right side of the document cut off. This occurs in both 10.4.11 and 10.5.2.
Using Adobe Reader or printing the pdf from the command line using lpr work correctly to the shared printer.
Printing directly to the printer (not through the server) is the only way Preview prints it right.
My CUPS server is:
Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
CUPS 1.3.7

I'm having the same problem. I have a Lexmark x9350 that is shared through Airport Extreme.

Trouble printing landscape PDF

I am having difficulty printing a pdf document that is in a landscape orientation. The first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages either print lower and to the left on the page or they print in a reduced size and to the lower left. I am able to duplicate this issue in both Adobe Acrobat 11.0.05 as well as Adobe Reader. I do not have the issue if I print using Preview on Mac OS X. I am using Acrobat and Reader on Windows 7, 32 bit.

Some of docs are not created by me but are available as studies on
websites. On our docs, we import into InDesign. No, it does not print
correctly if I select landscape rather than auto. And sometimes I select a
page range to print and the command is ignored and prints the entire doc.

Print landscape report in character mode

Hi!
It seems that I should change xxx.prt file in DESFORMAT parameter to match different kinds of printers in order to print landscape report in character mode.
Our customers are international wide. How can I do to make this setting meet every customer for printing reports in landscape style?
We will run the reports on Unix on the middle tier and customers read them in browser.
Thanks for help.

Hi,
This sounds like a similar problem that I had (and still having). It was (is) a Bug. Go to metalink.oracle.com and reference this bug#1413754. See if this is your problem as well. My only work around was change the format of the file instead of using character mode I am now using PDF. Which is working fine for me.

Print to PDF from Word 2011 creates problems at section breaks

I have a user trying to create a pdf of his thesis. He created the thesis on Microsoft Word 2011 for Mac, and we use Acrobat 10. It has a number of section breaks where he switches from portrait to landscape and back. When he tries to print to PDF, not only does the thesis get split into an individual document at each section break (annoying, but not a big issue), but when he tries to reassemble the document there is an adjustment in margin and several extra lines of space at the top of each section. I've seen workarounds such as opening the individual sections in Preview and stitching them together that way, but it still leaves the extra space at the beginning of each section break, as well as the adjustment in margin. Has anyone found a workaround for this?
Thank you!

I had the same problem with a Word document and figured out the problem. Word seems to be spitting out separate PDF documents based on the page setup. So under File -> Page Setup you get a dialog box with the settings for the page, and usually a "Format for" dropdown and a "Paper Size" option. If these setting are not the same for the whole document, Word throws a wobbley and generates a PDF for each page setup.
My solution (works where all of the pages are the same format).
File -> Page Setup
Settings: Choose "Microsoft Word" from the dropdown box
Apply Page Setup settings to: Entire Document.
This will setup up the entire document to use the same page settings, and will fix the problem for those of us who are wanting a document that all has the same page settings. (This won't work if you are mixing page sizes.)

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border?

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border? (2 pages per sheet preferred)
I usually print pdfs of books at a copy shop and they turn out fine.
The problem comes when I try to print the same books at home.
I use Adobe Acrobat X with the same settings: "multiple pages per sheet" (2x1) and page border. But the pages are slightly shrunken when printed. I think this is because my printer can't print as closely to the margins. Still, two pages should be able to fit on one sheet in actual size. Are there any layout settings that I can play with to find a better fit, besides portrait and landscape?
If I select page scaling "none," I'm able to print the pdf in actual size, one page per sheet. But there's no option to add a page border.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

Printing a PDF in Java w/ print dialog - How to do it?

Hi, here is what I'm trying to accomplish:
I need to have a menu item named "Print" that is just a standard Print menu, like how you'd see if you selected "Print" in IE or Excel or Word. Something that lets you pick which printer you want to use, whether you have landscape or portrait printing, and whether its duplexed printing or not. And also it should let you select what printer you want to use.
Does Java have something that lets you do this?
Then, I need to be able to print multiple PDF files that the user has selected PRIOR to selecting the "Print" option. The filenames of these pdf files will be stored in an array.
Anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks so much in advance. I can be emailed via [email protected], or post here.

Unable to print to PDF Oversize pages from FrameMaker 9.0 and 7.2

Hi All,
I am trying to print to PDF a publication that is full of oversize wiring diagrams. The pages are all images ranging in size from standard A3 and A4 siz sheets through to a foldout being 1470 mm W X 297 mm H. We have no problem printing A3, A4 and 630 mm W X 297 H. These are all Portrait images. When we set up our custom print size to accomodate the 1470 mm W X 297 mm H we get the pages without the content, and even some of the oversize pages are not the correct size on print.
The page sizes we are using are:
A4
A3
630 x 297 mm
840 x 297 mm
1050 x 297 mm
1260 x 297 mm
1470 x 297 mm
The procedures we are using to set up the printing are:
1.      Print to PDF (Do not Save to PDF, you do not have control over paper sizes)
Under Print Setup make sure you select PDF Driver and select the Paper size as largest that is in your book. Example: If A4 and A3 pages, print to A3
2.      Select Generate Acrobat Data and select
Note: Back in FM Print dialogue; make sure Print to File is turned OFF, before you click Print
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
AJ Wilkinson

AJ,
I tried to duplicate the scenario and ran into issues when using very wide custom pages. For whatever reason, FM tries to output the 1497x297 as 297x1497, no matter what the controls for Portrait or Landscape are set. Also changing the dimensions in the printer instance Custom Page Size didn't seem to have the desired effect.
I checked the .ps files being produced, and in all cases the page and file Bounding Boxes get defined as:
%%PageBoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 842 1786
Whereas, in the same file the custom page size is defined as:
%%BeginFeature: *CustomPageSize
1786 842 0 0 0
   4 dict begin
   3 1 roll
   2 array astore /PageOffset exch def
   2 mod 0 eq {exch} if
   2 array astore /PageSize exch def
   /ImagingBBox null def
   currentdict end setpagedevice
%%EndFeature
Note: that the H W components are transposed.
Something is definitely screwy here. The content appears to be created off the page in many scenarios.
I tried all permutations of H W, Portrait/Landscape and Paper Feed directions, but could not get output created that had the long dimension horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation). Even with pre-defined page sizes, I wasn't completely able to control the output orientation.
I then changed the defined page size within FM from a portrait aspect ratio, i.e. H > W to a landscape, W > H. I was then able to get the content appearing correctly in the 1497x297 layout. It looks like FM is trying to be "smart" and thinks it knows better as to what you want on output.
First, check that your FM page size has W > H. If printing from a Book, where you have mixed page sizes and orientations, I believe that the first file sets the orientation for the whole lot. So if the first one is a standard portrait page and you have large landscape inserts, and are trying to print to oversize pages in the landscape mode with Generate Acrobat Data on to ensure page sizes are cropped - you're going to have orientation issues with the larger pages.
Try printing these large page sizes separately and use Acrobat to replace the pages from the book output.

Please Help: Left Columns Cut off Printing Landscape Dynamic Table

I have designed a form with a table designed to print landscape on a letter size paper. The form has an Add row button creates rows that can span multiple pages. The form prints correctly in the PDF Preview tab but when tested with adobe reade 11 the table cuts off on the left for all pages except the first when mutilpe pages are printed. If one page is printed then it prints ok. This only happens in adobe reader 11 when the "auto portrait/landscape" is selected in the print dialog. If "Landscape" is selected instead of "auto portrait/landscape" the pages print ok. I am using Designer ES2. I can't depend on the users of the form to make the orientation landscape before printing. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Try unchecking everything, You don't really need to specify something... it should work by itself... if it ain't working I could take a look at it if you wouldn't mind sharing the pdf.

Generate a landscape PDF of my Robohelp 7 project

Ideally I would like to designate some pages as landscape and have the rest be portrait. I can print to PDF individual topics in landscape, but have tried many settings and when I generate the whole project in PDF, it is always portrait.

Your only option is to generate a Word document instead and make changes there. I haven't heard of any HAT that would allow you to generate mixed pages in the print output.

Printing Landscape

Using Reader 9 for Windows.
TWO QUESTIONS
1. Where do we find info re getting Reader 9 to print content full-size in landscape format on 8.5 x 11 paper?
2. Currently, the PDF file sent to me is in landscape. I can have the printer print landscape, but the content remains in portrait, meaning that it stay in its small shrunk mode even though it is orientd correctly to the landscape layout.
I tried all Page-Scaling options but it fails to print correctly. The PDF file sent to me will not print full-size in the landscape layout format.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

I had the same problem. I wasted almost a pack of photo paper, a ton of ink, and many hours trying to print landscape photos. HP could not help me either. What I finally found out was that you do NOT change the orientation from portrait to landscape, somehow the printer will automatically print the photo in landscape orientation.

OT: GhostScript to print Landscape

well, i want to use GhostScript to print a PDF file via Runtime.exec() call. I read quite a few manuals (e.g. http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/cvs/Use.htm#Paper_size) but can't get GhostScript to print my page in landscape! i test printed about several dozend papers basically resulting in the same page: the landscape page is printed in portrait and therefore is cut of.
here's one of my last tests:
C:\Programme\GhostScript\gs8.14\bin>C:/Programme/GhostScript/gs8.14/bin/gswin32.
exe -q -IC:/Programme/GhostScript/gs8.14;C:/Programme/GhostScript/fonts;C:/WINNT
/Fonts -dDOINTERPOLATE -sDEVICE=ljet4 -dNORANGEPAGESIZE "E:/temp/report.p
df" -c quit
does anybody know another setting how to tell GhostScript to print in landscape mode? (i also tried -sPAPERSIZE=a4, -dORIENT1=true or false, -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=842 -dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=595. Nothing helped.

I did a little experiment: I opened a PDF in Acrobat, then I went to print it. I changed the printer driver's properties (I'm using Windows BTW) from Portrait to Landscape, then clicked "OK" to print. And it printed in Portrait, as I had sort of expected.
So I think you shouldn't expect to be able to print Portrait-formatted PDFs in Landscape mode regardless of what tool you are using to print them.

Setting to make a PDF print as PDF???

Is there a way to attach a setting to a document that you would like it printed in landscape? I know that printers have a setup page where you can force landscape but is there a way to mark a document to print as landscape within the PDF?
For example, we convert an Excel worksheet to PDF and would like the document to print landscape without going to the settings of the printer to tell the printer to print landscape.

You can set up auto rotate to recognize the orientation of the text. You can also open the printer properties and select landscape. When playing with these settings, be prepared to try various combinations. I have had mixed success. However, I don't do it enough to say I fully figured it out.
