Printing multiple sizes from a PDF - Choose page source by PDF page size is set

I've tried this in both Reader 7 and 8.1. What I am experiencing is this:
A user is printing a document which has both legal and letter sized pages. I have selected Choose page source by PDF page size when printing. The document will print all pages based on the first page. If I print just one page, it will print correctly.

The expected behavior would be to print each page on paper according to its page size. For example, if there is a PDF file with five pages, page one and two are letter size, page three is legal, and page four and five are letter. When I print all pages, the entire set prints as letter. Page three should print on legal. If I print just page three alone, it will print on legal.

  • Choose paper source by PDF page size not working

    I have a document that I printed to the Adobe PDF printer that is 36x24 and enabled "Choose paper source by PDF page size". However, when it prints the size is 16.59x11.56 (A3). Has anyone else had this? I can print it properly by disabling the option and hard setting the size in the properties. I have co-worker that has no problem with this.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and so does my co-worker.

    If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

  • Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

    I have an iMAC with Maverick OS.  I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer.  I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages.  I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC.  This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others).  What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users?  There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users.  Thank you.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Steve.  I did go to that link and asked the same
    information of Adobe directly.  Their NB at the bottom of the page says
    that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
    they usually do NOT respond to the users.  Too bad.  How else are we
    supposed to get valid info?  I believe almost all the other software
    vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
    concerns and will contact you with some kind of info.  Welcome to the new
    world of customer service!!  i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

  • Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

    Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

    Do you not get any options after you have selected print
    then select Print using System dialogue
    which then opend another box , where I select Layout
    and can select how I want the document printed.
    As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

  • Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

    I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
    I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Anybody out there?

  • Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

    I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

    It's a Windows only feature: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/332/332720.html#main_Mixed_sizes

  • Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

    Hello,
    I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
    I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
    Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
    Thanks!

  • I have created a pdf and then want to send it to my boss.  When he recieves it it is saved in the 14 X 8.5 inches version.  How can I saved it on my end as a 11 x 8.5 inch so he doesn't have to uncheck "Choose paper source by PDF page size"?

    Hi heathers,
    You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

  • Xerox 7830 fails to obey "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro -- Adobe issue or Xerox issue? Workaround?

    Our former office printer (Xerox 7345) had no problem with this. But the new Xerox 7830 fails to obey the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro. Even the "Page Setup" is overridden by the Xerox printer driver. It is extremely annoying to have to go into the Xerox driver dialog every time, regardless of that check in the box and the correct dimensions being displayed in the picture.....

    Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
    It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
    More news next week, after we get the new copier.

  • After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

    After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.  I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

    For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

  • Choose paper source by pdf

    I have a printer that seems to process all jobs sent to it incorrectly if the "choose paper source by pdf" option is selected. it prints in a corner in a thumbnail and backwards when this is selected. everything is fixed when I uncheck this option. Problem is, this setting keeps beingly randomly reset. The printer isn't one thats in heavy use but it appears after a reboot or within a few days the setting drops off (since the user doesnt use this printer everyday this may be happening with each reboot) is there a way to disable this via registry? or some default printing option within reader that can be set to prevent this option from resetting itself?

    Anyone?

  • Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

    Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package.  We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all.  It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
    We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files.  With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments.  As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in  it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
    Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

  • I'm trying to print multiple frames from a website onto separate pages.

    Firefox has this option on OSX (each frame on separate page), but safari seems to lack such an option.
    I need to print multiple frames (invoices from zencart) each on separate pages. When I try to print with Safari it will either try and print the selected frame, or it will print all the frames as it's laid out on the page (all printed on one page). Am I missing this option somewhere? Is there an extension I can try (already tried print plus to no avail)?
    Thanks for all the help!

    Wasn't aware of that, I'm trying to disable Full Screen completely in all Apps on my Lion.
