Printing Sheets - "Fit to Page?"

Is there a way to make Numbers fit to one page that doesn't require sliding that bar in the inspector pane until it fits?

Change to Print View (click icon at bottom of window or File > Show Print View), and then grab and resize objects as desired.

Printing problem: "fit to page" option does not work, even from cmd

hello!
i am switching a company over to linux, that's why i am trying to make it shine as much as possible!
unfortunately i have to explain why something as simple as printing an email to one page instead of 1 and half isn't working...
no matter what i always get the same layout ... through
a) print menues which give me the option to scale to page e.g. firefox's print menue or
b) command line with the option found in (http://localhost:631/help/options.html#FIT_TO_PAGE)
lp -o fit-to-page filename
lpr -o fit-to-page filename
they both do not result in a scaled to one page output, instead i get the same result a print without any extra configuration gives me (2 pages).
i don't know where to report this problem!?
since i don't know whether it is an arch, Canon, CUPS or postscript problem ...
my setup is:
manjaro/arch linux (latest packages)
CUPS 1.7.1
canon imagerunner irc2880 - printer language = postscript
gnome 3.10
(i use the canon "cque" aur package to get the only working ppd for this printer (cel-irc2880-ps-de.ppd) [working = print both b/w & color] ... ps stands for postscript.
pls help or direct me to the right channels
THANK YOU

i have checked with another printer ... same problem
can anyone with firefox tell me whether the checked checkbox
"ignore scaling and fit to page" or something (mine is german) under:
firefox -> print... -> options
works for you?

Why aren't my pages printing to fit the page? HP Officejet 4622

When printing from cell phone with hp eprint app, or ipad2 with hp eprint app and/or airprint, the pages printed are much smaller then 8" x 11". I have checked all the settings (actual printer and phone/ipad app settings) and everything says it is set to print on 8" x 11" which is the same size paper i have in the printer. However the pages are only being printed out at about 6" x 8". The text is very small and the whole page is about 3/4 as small as it should be. I have already changed the settings to print on legal size paper and still no difference
EDIT: i would also like to add that these are attachments im opening up through email into adobe pdf format. i have been playing around with the settings within adobe on my desktop and its still printing much smaller. i select the "Fit to printable area", and played around with the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" and still no difference

I will need a little more information. What type of document are you printing? ePrint prints actual size. Is it an image of a document that you are printing? Have you tried resizing the document?

Preview Default Print Setting "Fit to Page" Problem

Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
4. Select 'Scale:'
5. Select the scale % value.
6. Delete the scale value.
7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
9. Click 'Print'
Expected Results:
Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step.
Actual Results:
Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases.
Regression:
This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.
Notes:
Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception.
I am an architect and this is really annoying!
Does anyone know a workaround?

Sorry no workaround as yet...
I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
- No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
- No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
- Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

How can i print a PDF to fit to page ?

Maybe this is due to some setting i am overlooking..
I have some PDF pages which i want to print on A4 sheets. However, the pages which come out are zoomed in copies , displaying about 60% of the page and cutting out the rest.
I want to fit the page to A4 size paper while printing.. Where do i have to make this setting ?
Thanks

That depends on the program, but if it's Preview, go to Page Setup... under the File menu. Select the appropriate paper size there. Then go to File > Print... and do a Preview. If the content does not fit on the page, some printer drivers will have a Scale to Fit setting. If there is none, go back to Page Setup... and manually adjust the Scale until it fits nicely when you do a Preview.

Printing multiple copies per page, not multiple pages per sheet

How can I print multiple copies of page per sheet of paper?
I've got an image or PDF that I'd like to print 4 or more of per sheet of paper. But it can easily fit on one sheet. When I choose to print 4 copies and in the Layout section choose 4 copies per page what I get is for pages printed out with the image scaled down to a quarter of a page.
What I'd like is the one image scaled down and printed 4 times on a single piece of paper.

I don't completely believe that this is completely
due to the drivers from the printer manufacturer.
Nor did I say that it is. The software from which the doc is being printed is
even more important re page layout options.
Your statement of "It is a function of the printer driver..." is what led to that misunderstanding.
I completely agree that the idea of 'print to PDF' is misleading and that I was mislead that all the print dialog options (like the quartz filters that do work in outputting to PDF and the # of copies that do not) should apply to creating PDF files using the print dialogue. It now says 'save to PDF' in 10.4 instead of 'output' or 'print'. I think some of my confusion is carrying over from UI decisions in 10.3.
Obviously it wasn't designed to work this exact way
or it would work this exact way.
I have no idea what this statement means.
It's stating the obvious in reply to your statement of the obvious ("the feature you are trying to use isn't designed to work that way."). If it were designed to work in the manner that I was wanting it perform I would have never posted a question about it.
You can say it's not commonly done and that would
apply to anything other than printing off one full
sized copy of any single page. Using Quartz filters
isn't "commonly done" but it's available.
Not true... mailing labels, multipage spreads, thumbnails, reductions/
enlargements, ad infinitum are far more frequently done than printing
the same content on the same sheet multiple times. As I said, however,
there are provisions for doing so when the need arises.
You missed the point. Functionality is presented that is far less utilized than what I was desiring to do on this platform/set of applications as compared to other platforms/sets of applications. This is why I specifically mentioned the quartz filtering. I have personally met only one other person who uses quartz filtering yet I know over a dozen that want to print in the manner I originally posted about.
I'm sure you have seen such results & I have done
the exact same type of output hundreds of times on
both Windows & Mac platforms as well as others...
but not in the manner you are attempting to get it
done. As you've found out, that just doesn't work.
And I've seen it performed in the manner I was attempting, furthering the frustration.
In any program you typically do specify page layout
before number of copies... in fact, that is the cruxt of the
issue. But getting the same content to repeat on a single
page is not a matter of page layout and is not a function
of the print operation unless you're dealing with commercial
devices.
I guess I've just been spoiled by those big office Xerox machines. I never thought of that functionality being at all special in any way.
Thank you for the assistance.

How to make a small doc zoom to print on a larger page, print to fit doesn't work

I have a pdf I created that ended up filling only 1/2 of a letter size page, I've tried print to fit area and it doesn't increase the size. I would like to zoom the page to fit a 11 x 17 sheet or at least fill the entire 81/2 x 11. How do I do this?

What was the size of the paper you selected. I just opened a PDF and then in the print menu selected zoom to fit and selected the printer property to be a large sheet and it worked fine. Did you actually select the paper size in the printer properties, or is the paper the size that you are talking about.
There may be an issue of how you are creating the PDF also. There are many ways and it is hard to help when we have no idea of what you were doing. Give the basic steps of what application you are in and what steps you take that has a problem.

When I am printing documents in duplex form page 1 ends up on sheet 1, but pages 2 and 3 are on sheet 2. Why does it always skip one page? Please help me, I am out of options...

Hi alexandra1987,
Are you still facing this issue?

Print Sequence of Multiple Pages per Sheet

I am using Adobe Reader 11.0.10 on Windows 7. I have created a document using Word which has four pages set out as 2 pages per sheet double sided, landscape. Word prints the document with pages 1 & 4 on one side and 2 & 3 on the other (flipped on short side) However, if I save the document in PDF format and then print it, pages 1 & 2 are on one side with 3 & 4 on the other. Is there any way around this? I rather not keep two versions of the same document
thanks,
Mike

I tried some things and came to conclusion, that the more pages I print the more bugs I got. Bit by bit I printed seperate pages again and replaced the wrong ones by them. But couldn't be the solution, could it?
Thanks for you help!

Adobe forms prints part of one page 6 times on a sheet of paper

I am attempting to print a completed web based Adobe form and the 8.5x11 page prints part of the page about 6 times on one sheet of paper. This has happened before on Adobe documents and I was able to get around it by saving the PDF file (downloaded from a home utility website) then opening it in Adobe Reader XI and printing it. This time I do not have the ability to save it since I filled out an Adobe form (the system will not let me save the completed form as a PDF file.) My system: iMac 27-inch Late 2009; OS: OS X 10.9.4; Adobe Reader: XI, version 11.0.07; Printer: Canon Pixma MP490 (verified I have the latest drivers)
Print preview shows the document the way I would expect it to print.
The last time I called we never resolved the issue: Apple points to the printer or Adobe, Adobe points to the computer or the printer, and Canon points to the computer or Adobe.

When I first open the form on the web it appears to be an Adobe file, but still on the web via Safari.
Even before I try to save the file there is a message at the top of the screen that reads, "Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records." BUT, when I just saved a blank copy of the form to my desktop, opened it in Adobe Reader XI, filled in the form and then printed it the form printed nicely. Problem resolved, or at least a work-around handles the problem easily
It is frustrating that I cannot print directly from the Adobe file via Safari; i.e., I have to experiment to find a solution instead of just hitting the print button (yes, I'm lazy!).
Thank you!!

Controlling print options esp. fit to page

is there a way to control print options, particularly fit to page, from within the PDF itself?
We provide print ready files for our clients who print them as needed, but they are brochures that are set up for fit to page OFF, otherwise the white border (because it can't bleed) around it is uneven.
So they would send the file to our print shop and the printer would automatically print it with this option off, based on the pdf settings for that document.

Go to Properties (Crtl+D) and the advanced tab, you can set the print porperties that will come up by default there, it is still possible to over ride them though.

Header font goes out of column width in fit to page option for print

Hi,
I've tried to print wide report as landscape with fit to page option. it printed out good but when i saw column header, header has missed some words.for e.g my column name is "Legacy Order" and it's showing only "Legacy Or" even i wrapped that column. it's works fine with 90% scalling option.i'm still confusing because there are over 1000 reports existed and i think i will have to touch all reports to print correctly.Older version took cares all of those things.
Any idea would be great for me.
Thanks,
Jay

Amazon print guidelines specify one page per sheet

Amazon print guidelines specify one page per sheet
I am setting up a new book and not sure I understand Amazon guidlines "one page per sheet".
I am pretty sure this setup is one page per sheet when Exported to PDF -- can any one please confirm this?

Thanks, you mean be sure "Spreads" is unchecked as in this screenshot (I don't know what I am doing here)...?

Printing fit to page: how to capture it to drive printing of the Printable

The print dialog allows through the properties button to set document to fit to scale. I am not clear how to capture that either as a PageFormat or a PrintRequestAttribute. Any pointers on this?
Thanks

The Problem with fit-to page and HTML is that it is not working. HTML is not a Pageoriented design like PDF. There are a lot of strange things to take care of, if you want to print html in that way that a Browser recognizes the Layout and prints it correctly. The easiest way is to let a external tool (like Html-toPdf Converters or export to Excel)perform the conversion to achieve a good printing result. Excel has a excelent Print engine. But it is a lot of effort to create the excel format in Office XML Style. I created an external Windows service which can convert HTML to Pdf. Together with 2 new items which offers Pagesetup and Pagebreak options in the WAD. The User can choose print out of the contextmenu, which calls the windows service on the Application server, and returns the PDF file in separate window. Afterwards the user can print with acrobat reader.
FROM my opinion it is really difficult to transform the html in good looking way. for example. You have a large table with more than one Characteristic in the drilldown. If you now want to transform the html, it is difficult, because the Tablecells uses row and colspans, which are not breakable. and so. Also you have a problem with header an footers.
Also you have a problem with printing if you make us of the broadcaster. The user who receives the html-files cannot print them, and also he can't call the helpservice, because he is offline...
best regards.

KDE: margins incorrect when printing because of fit-to-page option

I'm attempting to print a PDF file with Okular (happens with other KDE/Qt applications as well) to my HP Deskjet D2530 printer. The PDF has one inch margins on all sides, but when printing, additional space is added to the margins.
The page prints perfectly using lp:
$ lp /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Should also note it prints perfectly with non-KDE applications such as epdfview.
I turned on debug mode in CUPS to find what options KDE sends to CUPS. I narrowed it down to the "fit-to-page" option causing the issue.
I can reproduce the incorrect margins exactly with this command:
$ lp -o fit-to-page -o PageSize=Letter /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Now the issue I'm having is disabling this. I see nowhere in the KDE print dialog to disable fit-to-page, and have searched CUPS' documentation for a way to disable it on that end, but could not find anything. Searching for this issue has similiarly turned up nothing. I've also tried adding "fit-to-page=false" to ~/.cups/lpoptions with no result. I can't be the only one who has dealt with this. Is there some configuration option I'm missing somewhere or should I report this as a bug upstream?

hello!
i have a similar problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1402373
for me the fit to page cmdline option does not apply and the output is always bigger than one page ... same goes for print menues with the option to turn on/off fit to page ...
