Printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document

When printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document, try this:
Use File > Print Book, set up your printer for Adobe PDF and 11x17 (or whatever your preferred page size is), and deselect Generate Acrobat Data. Turn on Registration marks if you like. Then, print, and the book should print, centered, on the larger page size.
Hope this helps somebody.

I found another discussion that provided a solution:
CutePDF for Mac or other compatible software
For instrucitons on use see:

Look for the program CUPS-PDF.
"cups pdf is like cute pdf but for mac

pdfs go in /Users/Shared/CPS-PDF/{your account name}"
Thanks to Bob Harris and geagon.
Be sure to allow all software to be downloaded.
You have to locate the file where the prints are saved.
However you can put an alias up to it on your desktop.

Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

Hello,
I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page, but not all or pages 1-5. Can this be overcome?

I am trying to print all the PDF pages in a range of 5 pages but can only print one page at a time . . . It will print the current page only, but not all or pages 1-5. I need to go to the next subsequent page and command to print current page; continuing with this procedure until all pages are printed one at a time. Can this be overcome?

You can use printPages(1, 5), however I need to know how you print current page.

Can't display PDF file larger than 2Mb

Would like to ask if someone knows that any setting that would allow the PDF file larger than 2Mb be displayed within web browser IE 7, for some strange reasons, the PDF file will stop download at arround 800 some Kb, and I waited for almost 15 minutes with no further action.
Back ground info:- MS Vista Home Premium SP1, 2G RAM, over 60G available HDD space, IE Temp file size set to 100M
Appreciated for any help

Mike I have a similar problem with down loading PDF files larger that 3MB. I have three computers with Win XP, IE7 and 56K connection. I have tried to down load three different PDF files from the same source - 1.3MB 2.3MB and 5.3MB. The Computer with Reader 7.0 downloads and opens all files. The computers with Reader 8.1.2 and 9.0 downloads and opens the smaller files but stop at 3.2 MB on the larger file with an error message "The file is damaged and could not be repaired".
As fixes to the problem I have tried turning off any accelerators, installing and using Monzilla foxfire (then removed it since I had the same problem), increasing the cash size from 250MB to 1GB, Saving the file to the desktop rather than opening the file. I have not found useful help in Adobe Reader knowledge base.
Any suggestions?

Reader - Printing a Range of Pages to a New Adobe Document

I frequently receive multi page documents where I want to forward only a few pages of said document to an email contact. Is it possible to print a range of pages from an existing Adobe document to a new Adobe document using the free reader? I am on a PC with Adobe 8.1.2. OS is Windows Home edition XP SP2.
Is this feature available as an add on ?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

With Adobe Acrobat it is possible to extract pages.

How can I print alphabet letters that are larger than 1 page?

I need to print letters that are larger than 1 sheet of paper. How do I print across multiple pages?

is another application.
You should see it on the Dock, in Mission Control or be able to open it by typing Preview in Spotlight.
It usually is the application that opens when you click on any image file or pdf.
Just follow my instructions, copy and paste or drag and drop from Finder.
You don't open the pdf, opening is for .pages, .doc, rtf or txt files that Pages can open as word processing files.
You can alternatively:
Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to your pdf
But the other methods are faster and easier.

Printing a component that is larger than the paper size

Hi,
I am trying to print a component that may be larger than the size of the paper being used. Is there some way to get it to split between pages - ie, if it's larger than the page, it is printed over two or more pages?
The component in question is a JTextArea. Would it be better to get the text from it and use the graphics drawString rather than the component's paint method?
The relevant part of the code is below.
Thanks,
Helen
     //cast the Graphics object to a Graphics2D object
     Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D) g;
     //set the origin to be (0,0)
     g2.translate(format.getImageableX(), format.getImageableY());
     //if double buffering is enabled, disable it before printing
     boolean b = testForDoubleBuffering(c);
     if (b == true){
     disableDoubleBuffering(c);
     //tell the Component to draw itself to the printer
     comp.paint(g2);
     //if double buffering was enabled, reenable it once printing has happened
     if (b == true){
     enableDoubleBuffering(c);
     //return this constant to tell the PrinterJob that the page has been printed
     return Printable.PAGE_EXISTS;

     Book book = new Book();
     book.append(new PrintableClass(c), format);
     //set the pageable class to be the book, with the user-selected format
     job.setPageable(book);
     //if the user clicks the print button, start the printing process, otherwise cancel the print
     if(job.printDialog()){
     try {
          job.print();
     } catch(PrinterException pe) {
          System.out.println("Error printing: " + pe);

Removing printer offsets from PDF pages

I accidently set up a printer page offset when creating PDF pages from Word Perfect X3. Is there a way to remove the offset, or do I need to go back to the original WP pages (which I can't find!)?

I recreated a page and made sure there were no offsets listed. The PDF page still prints offset. I found sources to recreate the page, displayed codes, and removed anything marked as offset. There is still an offset to the left when pre-print displaying either the source page or the PDF version.

Creating a pdf file larger than 11 x 8.5 online

I'm trying to convert a Microsoft Publisher file that's 17"h x 11"w to a pdf file using the online converter. In my first attempt, it split the document to fit onto 4 separate 11x8.5 pages. How can I convert the file from .pub to .pdf on a single page that's the original size (17x11)?

Colour backgrounds are designed to show you IN WORD what you would see if you printed to coloured paper. It doesn't change the actual background of the Word document or the paper.
If you want a coloured background that is actually part of the document, put a full page graphic behind everything else, filled with the colour.

Printing Only Certain PDF Pages?

I have a PDF which contains about 42 pages. I began printing using my laser printer but I think the toner either gave out or just got too hot. Of those 42 pages only 25 printed correctly. Now I wish to print pages 25-42 but can't figure out how to do that.
Help? Thanks a lot.

When the print dialog comes up, look for a little blue triangle next to the printer's name toward the top right of the dialog. Click that and the full options page for the print dialog will show. It's just that the default print dialog has only a few settings. Once you show the full settings in any app, they'll appear each time.

Cannot open layered pdf file larger than 40mb inside PS CS5

Hi!
I cannot seem to open a layered pdf file 64mb inside the photoshop "out of memory" error, I am trying to get the layers as the source psd file is gone for good and this is the only way I have to get the files for editing. I already increased the ram to 4g but still out of memory, I also tried to play around the scratch disk settings but it doesn't help either. I can send the file and see if you can open it in your machine. I have tried gogling but I cannot find same problem as mine.
I hope someone can help me as I really need this file done.
thanks in advance

Printing in Photoshop and Pages sets "change" bit in document

Is there any way to defeat the "change bit" being set in documents after printing? Even if I don't make any changes, EACH time I print (even the same print params), the change bit gets set in Photoshop CS3 and Apple Pages, and then I have to save the document again, or close the window and decline to save changes. VERY obnoxious. PRINTING does NOT change documents!
These apps Do NOT set the change bit on printing:
Eudora
AppleWorks
GraphicConverter
TextWrangler
MS Excel 11.1
MS Word 11.1
TextEdit
Xbench
Photoshop CS3 and (Apple) Pages DO exhibit this obnoxious behaviour after EVERY print, even if there are no changes or other actions (except Save) between printings. Every print causes the document to be changed for some reason. These are the ONLY apps which behave this way...
(These are all the apps that I ever print from...)

If the idea is to remember the printing setup in the doc itself, okay, maybe. But they should CHECK to see if the print setup is the same as before and NOT set the Change Bit.
They should also give you the option NOT to save the print setup in the doc itself.
Personally, I think all that should be done in Page Setup, the way it's been for more than 20 years. That is an explicit command to tell the doc what its print params should be. That's where this belongs, NOT in the Print command.
99.99% of people only have one printer, so Page Setup should do it all.

How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word

How can I convert a pdf file that's larger than 100MB to word?
I have just paid $20 to Adobe to get this facility but It won't work ,
as the pdf is larger than 100MB,
I actually believe that I have paid twice for adobe but I'll take this up with them,
in the meantilme,
do you have any suggestions, I really need this material in word urgently,
many thanks
Shanna

If your files are this large, ExportPDF is the wrong tool for you. You need Adobe Acrobat, which runs locally and does not need to send your files to Adobe.

Printing is slow--one page at a time

USB print sharing wasn't working well in my house as I had to keep my computer on all the time so I went to a small Ethernet to USB print server for my Brother 5050 LT laser printer. it works well with all our MacS except when I print a multiple page document it prints 1 page per minute instead of the usual 10 pages. After each page it appears to stop, no blinking light, wind down and then a minute later powers up and prints the next page. The printer info window shows it hasn't sent the whole document and stays active ("spooling 4%") on until printing is done. These are very small Word documents not big PDFs so I can't image it is the network. There are no pictures or anything else. It does the same thing printing from a browser, etc. I am a teacher and need fast printing...any idea what is happening and how to fix it. Thank you in advance

It could be that there is not enough memory in the printer or the print server to hold the entire document while printing. The printer gets Postscript files, which are larger than the original document. Also, if you are doing multiple copies, if you collate the pages, that takes more memory than printing each page multiple times.

How do I normalize pdf page sizes

Seems like this should be more obvious but I'm stuck for solutions.
I keep getting these pdfs from clients that have pages of many different dimensions. I'm batch processing these for various uses and the irregular sizes really throw a wrench in the works.
My question, is there a way to batch pdfs (tool, command line, server or anything) so that all the pages are the exact same dimension?
Mind you, cropping is not an option unless that means adding some padding to the smaller pages so that they match the larger ones. Scaling is probably ok too but for now I just want to hear any options that are out there.
Thanks pros!

Well, that is a start.
Under the latest Acrobat for Macintosh (10.1.4), there is no Crop menu. (Menus are a tried and true user interface tool, so Adobe got rid of them).
You choose the Crop Tool.
Then you select an area larger than your document (if you select an area smaller than your document, sometimes the resize page also crops--I don't understand).
Then you double click your crop (so much for direct selection with a tool). A dialog box comes up.
Note that it says that the current page size is 11 x 8.5 (approx). Then choose Tabloid, and the dialog shows an expanded page size of 11 x 17, with the pdf stretched to fit.
Then you click All pages, and OK, and voilá, your document does have a new page size, but it is 17 x 11, not 11 x 17, and the white space is on top, not equally distributed as shown. But at least it hasn't stretched your scanned document as is implied by the dialog.
However, if you try to generalize to get the page size that you want, it doesn't work.
For instance, if you try to resize a document that is 11" x 8.486" (my document) to 14" x 9", a dialog comes up that says "Page size may not be reduced". If you try to resize it to 9" x 14" (just in case you misunderstood which is X and which is Y), no error message comes up, but the page size is not changed.
I'll futz around with this some more, but, Man, is Acrobat a time-sink.
Thanks
