Printing to odd page size changes size of artwork

I am working on a MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.5. I've got an Illustrator document that is about 47x33in. When I print it to PDF, the PDF page size is 47x33in, but the artwork has shrunk considerably in the center of the page. I have Acrobat 8 Pro 8.1.2 installed. This was not a problem when using the same version of Acrobat on Tiger 10.4.8.
What I want to do is this: select the Adobe PDF 8.0 printer from the printer dropdown box, choose Custom from the Media Size dropdown box (this recognizes the page size and appears to fit things accordingly), then print. Currently, this gives me the messed up output.
The only workaround I've found has way too many steps (there are a LARGE number of AI files that need to be printed to PDF, and I don't want to have to do the following steps for each one):
- Select 'Defined by Driver' from Media Size dropdown box
- Choose 'Page Setup', then select 'Adobe PDF 8.0' from Format for dropdown box
- Choose appropriate paper size from Paper Size dropdown box. Click OK.
- Ensure Orientation is correct, then click PRINT.
- If the document was landscape, I then have to open in Acrobat, rotate the page, and resave.
Any ideas?

That works fine, except for the fact that it does not reduce the file size at all, which printing to PDF will do.

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

How can I print an odd page in a pdf with 2 page each pdf page?

I hope tou can help me. We´ve created a pdf from a book.
In each page of the pdf we´ve put two pages of the book.
Our problem is:
if I want to print or search a even page. I´ve just go to the search box and write the number of the page I want to go. And the pdf take me to correct number in the book. I Attached a screenshot (screenshot 1). So I look for the page number 6 and I go to the page 6 in the book (that it´s 4 of 22 in the pdf document)
But if I try to search or print an odd page, the problem is that the pdf doesn´t take me to the correct page in the book it takes me to number in pdf document. I attached an screenshot (screenshot 2) So If I look for the page 9 it tooks me to the page 16 of the book (that is 9 of 22 in the pdf document)
I´d like that if i try to search or print any page number (even or odd) . If I use the white box I´ll be able to finde the correct page
Thank you very much

The parent subform must be set to Flowed. Make sure each page (subform) is set to Pagination>Following Previous.

Can I print only odd pages or even pages?

Hi,
I would like to be able to print only odd pages, then turn the stack over and print the even pages. I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. Some need to be printed this way. My old PC would do this. The tech support at HP says the problem is the Mac printer software doesn't have the option to print only odd or even pages. -Kentar

Hi kentar,
You wrote:
"I often need to reprint manuals from pdf files for my clients. "
You can do this with Adobe Reader.
Simply press Command-P to summon the Print dialogue box, and then in the Subset box, select Odd pages from the drop-down menu.
Check the box for 'Reverse Pages' if you like.
I generally print the odd pages first in reverse order, and then just turn the stack over and then print even pages in forward order.

SapsScript Header is printed on all pages after change

Hello Experts,
I have made some changes to a sapscript. I added some output data to the header and expanded the lines by 3 LN. Now when I print the header is printed on all pages, but I only want it to be printed on the first... Any idea what could have done this?
best regards B

Hi,
The problem occurred because you have changed the variable window and what ever is mentioned in the variable window gets triggered when a new page gets triggered.
So.....
Change the Header lines what you have added, to main window from the variable window.
This will definitely solve the problem.

Duplex printing is odd pages only

printer is printing only odd number pages for duplex printing

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? Do you have an automatic duplexer? Is it enabled as discussed here?

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Printing a PDF page in A4 size resizes to A5

Hi,
I am trying to print a PDF file, which somehow succeeds; However the printed page shows the PDF in A5 format. the same pdf printed with acroread32 shows in expected A4 size. Can anyone imagine why? Here is the code:
private void printPdf(File file) throws Exception {
        // set up the PDF reading
        RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(file, "r");
        FileChannel channel = raf.getChannel();
        ByteBuffer buf = channel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, channel.size());
        PDFFile pdfFile = new PDFFile(buf); // Create PDF Print Page
        // Create Print Job
        PrinterJob pjob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        PageFormat pf = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().defaultPage();
        Book book = new Book();
        PDFPrintPage pages = new PDFPrintPage(pdfFile);
        book.append(pages, pf, pdfFile.getNumPages());
        pjob.setPageable(book);
        // Set print attributes:
        PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
        try {
            // Send print job to printer
            if (pjob.printDialog(aset)) {
                pjob.print(aset);
                Log.Debug(PrintJob2.class, "Document '" + file + "' printed.");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw e;
        } finally {
            raf.close();
    }My guess is that it has to do with PageFormat, but i don't know how to change that?
Best wishes,
Andreas

Hi,
Fixed by setting the paper size manually:
Paper paper = new Paper();
        paper.setSize(594.936, 841.536);
        paper.setImageableArea(0, 0, 594.936, 841.536);
        pf.setPaper(paper);However odd imho

When I print a web page, the font size is always the default (which is good for screen reading, but too big for printing), even when I use Text Zoom to make it smaller.

How can I change the font size when printing web pages?

When you zoom in, it is like using a magnifying glass - the underlying image remains unchanged, as you have found out.
You may be able to enlarge the bird to some extent without distortion and without pixilation by resampling.
Go image menu>resize>image size. Be sure that "constrain proportions " is checked in the dialog.
More on this from the help menu:

Child Page automatically changes sizes

Hi There,
Having a issue which is bugging me and taking up alot of time.
In short i created several pages from a template but for some reason the one page decreases the page width and height. If looking through the site in "preview in browser" all the pages are fine then when i click on the specific page it looks like you have zoomed out in the browser.
I have tried re-creating the page from the template as well as other html pages that work fine, but as soon as i save it is reduces the page size however the CSS is still correct.
Any suggestions is as always greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ash

Without a link to your site it's impossible to diagnose the exact cause of this issue.
When things go wrong validate your code and fix reported errors.

Linked pages are changing size - pls help!

We've created a pdf with linked pages (simple contents and back).
It looks ok when viewed on a mac but when it's viewed on a PC the pages change magnification - they seem to just get smaller everytime a link is clicked.
Anyone got any good ideas?

no when you make the font size smaller (press any button) you will notice as it comes down to say 12 and below the becomes deformed (use the magnifer u will see). The problem seems to be that the triangle head is not being drawn equally on both sides. This is a real pain in the arse.
I just hope you/any1 can fix it or come up with another solution.
I do need to draw them though and make them look better.
Thanks

I would like to print and 8x10 as a full page of wallet size photos

I would like to scan an 8x 10 picture and print as a page of wallet size pictures. How do I do that?

Wallet sized photos are 2" x 3" or 2.5" x 3.5" for the most part which will give you 8 photos per page. So do the following:
1 - Once the photo is in iPhoto put it in an album and crop it to the wallet size ratio you want: 2:3 or 2.5:3.5
2 - Duplicate the photo 7 times so you have 8 copies to fill a letter sized page.
3 - Select all the photos in the album and start the print process.
4 - Select the paper size in the upper right hand cornder and select the print size in the lower right hand corner.
5 - Print

Hi mohana,
For script or smartform?
In case smartform
Create pages as per your requirement.
In the global defintion --> initialization tab -->
if w_page = 1.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE1'.
else.
control_parameters-startpage = '%PAGE2'.
ENDIF.

How can I print only "odd" or only "even" pages with version10.6.3

Sorry for my stupidity, but I'm very new to Mac. Love it, but am about to throw it across the room. My old PC just had a button to click in the print window that said "print only odd pages", then I could turn the pages over and click "print only even pages" and they would be two sided.
Where is this button on the Mac?
Thank you

Your welcome. BTW you may want to invest a few bucks on a good OS X book, lots of really useful information that can save you a huge amount of time. One I really like is:
