How to adjust margins to print with Adobe Acrobat pdf web page?

when I print to PDF with Acrobat or with the printer margins and the information in the top and bottom defaults (URL, page number ...) do not satisfy me. the possibility exists of being able to reset? How? do you have any suggestions?

I would define how to position Title, URL, number of page and date also margin left, right, top and bottom. This element in other browser Mozzilla, Explorer is defined in "Page Preview".
Acrobat don't have possibility to set this parameter..

Margins shrink when printing to PDF

Okay...I use Windows XP, Adobe Acrobat 6.0, and recently (begrudingly) uppgraded to Adobe Reader X. I have a printing problem ever since the upgrade to Reader X. When I print a hardcopy of a document, it looks fine. However, if I print to PDF, it decreases the margins down to nothing, and text gets cut off because the margins are too small. When I look at printing options, there is no place to change the margins. The closest thing I can find is the "Scaling" area. There is not an option for "Scale to Page" or anything like that...just the ability to change the percentage from 0-???. But even that doesn't help....the text is shrunk, but still too close to the top and left sides of the page. How can I adjust the print margins????

I am having the same problem. I can't print any PDF files! I never had a problem before and I can't pinpoint when this started happening. I use Mac OX Lion.

Printing 4 slides on a page -- adjusting margin

Hi,
I am using Keynote 3. I print out slides for handout by using Layout and set number of page per sheet to 4 and using landscape mode. So far everything is fine...but each slide on a page is a bit small. Is there a way to make the slide bigger...there is a lot of available white space between slides and between slides and margins. Thanks.

hello there ... this reply is a bit late, but I just had the same problem you were describing and figured out how to solve it, so I thought I would let you know. The way to adjust margins in Keynote is
1. go to File>Page Setup
2. in the paper size menu, choose custom size
3. create a new Paper Size with a name like "Handout Size" or something
4. in the printer margins, choose user defined and set all the margins to zero, or any other appropriate values for you ...
This should make the slides fill up the empty spaces. Hope it helps.

Printing to PDF Cuts Into Right Margin

I am having a problem where hundreds of reports generated by our CAD system print with a fraction of an inch missing from the right side of the report when they are printed to PDF.
We use Adobe Acrobat 8.1.
I don't think this is a new problem but it was recently brought to my attention.
When ALL of these reports are printed to any of the 24 other HP printers we have in the building the right side of the document is not cut off. The problem only exists when the report is printed to PDF.
I am wondering if anyone has a solution that will allow these reports to print as they do on a regular printer - where all text is clearly visible. Is there a "shrink-to-fit" setting I don't see in the Adobe printer settings?
Thanks,
Matt

I did find a solution, but it does not resolve the problem.
I have several printers installed on my MacBook Pro. The truncation problem happens whenever the printer selected is my new HP PhotoSmart 7515.
But, if I change the printer in the dialog box to my Brother HL-4070cdw before I try to print to a PDF, then the document contents are NOT truncated!
So I found a solution, but it is not a perfect one.
Hopefully this helps!

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.)

Printing to PDF: prints the wrong page size and orientation

I am trying to print a simple 60 page document composed of 8 x 11 inch pages to a pdf. I want the pdf in spreads, so that 2 8x11 inch pages in portrait orientation will be next to each other as a spread. Each time I try to print, the pdf comes out in the wrong orientation or the wrong size or both. When I export it to a pdf, it is the right orientation and page size, but the file size is way too large. So how do I fix this annoying problem? I have tried adjusting the print setup but it still won't print right. This seems like a simple operation, but indesign has been giving me trouble with this for weeks. I should mention I'm using CC. Thank you.

Go to the AdminUI ( http://<servername>:<port>/adminui ), and to Services, PDF Generator. Pick File Type Settings, and click on the Standard entry. If you pop open the HTML to PDF section, you can edit the size, margins, orientation, headings and footers, site recursion, and pdf initial view settings. Save your settings as a new Filetype (you can make as many as you want), and pass the name the filetype as the second parameter to the call to the htmlToPDF method on the web service client. http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/g eneratepdf/client/GeneratePdfServiceClient.html I am unfamiliar with interacting directly with the web services via SOAP, so if you are not using the pre-built GeneratePdfServiceClient supplied by Adobe and this information does not solve your issue you will need to see if anybody else can help. I imagine that there is a similar String parameter where you place the Filetype name defined in the AdminUI. (edit: I should mention, the GeneratePdf service is a part of PDF Generator ES, not Output ES, so you may have better luck in the general Livecycle ES forum)

Adjusting margins in Reader

Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
I'm trying to print a PDF of a document which original I don't have. The document already has a significant margin, and Reader is adding 25 Milimeters.
If I were to print it straight, I would select "Scale to printing area" from "Page scale", at the print menu. The thing is I have to print it at two pages per sheet, and cannot select both because there's no "Print multiple pages AND scale to printing area", it's one or the other. So what I want is to reduce the margin Reader adds to the document.
The problem is I cannot get the margin size to be editable, the boxes are greyed out.
So, I have two questions:
1st- How can I edit these values? Are they set in some .INI file? Which one, and where can I find it? Are they set in the registry? Where?
2nd- Why are these values shown if you can't edit them? What's the point? How can be possible that a company as important as Adobe can make such a mistake in a soft as important as Reader? Why would they do that? I just can't believe it.
Thank you all!

Hello. Thank you very much for taking the time.
You can't change these values because they are irrelevant - they are not used for anything at all.
I believe they're. In fact, it's 25 millimeters that are added to the page. If you choose the "Fit to printing area" option, these spaces are removed (up to the printing area, of course). But if you choose that option, you cannot choose the "Print multiple pages". I might want (I do, in fact) to print multiple pages fitting them to the printing area. It's funny they didn't think about that.
They are shown because this is a standard part of Windows, provided by Microsoft for all apps to use.
I don't think that's correct. If you are a programmer, you know that when you create a form (like the one in the picture I took from this forum) it's you who decide which controls to include, not Microsoft or Apple. If you put those text boxes and fill them with a value, you put them for a reason (nor Microsoft or Apple force you to) and most likely you relate them to a numeric variable that can be accessed (and changed) somehow from somewhere.
PDF files don't have a margin in the way a Word document does. They are more like a JPEG. There might be some white space at the edge of a page, where no words or pictures are. You see this as a margin.
I'm sorry, but it is a margin. That's the concept of a margin: A white space between the contents of the page and the border of the sheet.
Adobe Photoshop also adds them when you print a picture, and you can manage the size of those... sorry: margins.
You can't adjust this white space (except, in Acrobat, by cropping it smaller - making the page smaller rather than the margin).
But then the margin stays the same, what changes is the white space inside the JPEG, to use your words.
(I know that doesn't solve the rest of it).
Nope, but thank you again for your answer.
Even if greyed out, those values are not there just because. They're set somewhere... in an INI file, in the Registry... I don't know... somewhere. Windows doesn't make them up, even if it puts them there. What I really need to know is where, but maybe it's not likely that a discussion like that would be allowed in this forum (companies don't like people messing around with the INI files or the Registry keys and values). It's just I didn't find it anywhere else and though I had nothing to lose.

How to adjusting margins on HP 5510?

How can I adjust the margins on the HP 5510 printer when printing a pdf file?
I want to print two A5 pictures on one A4 sheet and then fold the page. But now my margings are off.
I already ticked borderless printing.

Hi Computer-nono,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you would like to adjust the margins.
I will be happy to help you.
You would have to adjust the margins from the application that you are printing from.
Go to file, page setup to change the margin settings.
You can change the paper type and size through the printer driver.
From your software application’s
File menu, select Print.
Make sure that the selected printer is the HP Officejet.
Click Properties, Make changes to the settings and click OK.
Click OK to print the job.
I have included a screen shot of the printer's limited margins.
Hope this resolves your issue.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a nice day!

Print to PDF only saves to the desktop

When I try to "Print to PDF" it gives be the dialogue box to tell the program where to save the file. I can pick any location I wish but when I click save; the file is not there...unless I tell it to save to the desktop. I have tried adjusting the properties but nothing I can find will allow it to save the file anywhere but the desktop. This only started happening after installing one of the latest Adobe software upgrades. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's incredibly inconvenient to save everything to my desktop, then go move the file where it's supposed to go later.

I have just tried Print to PDF from Word 2010 (on Windows 7 with Acrobat XI), and I had no problem whatsoever to place the result into my Documents folder.
Could it be a permission problem on your target folders?
P.S. does Save as PDF have the same problem?

Freezing when trying to print out PDF?

Trying to print out PDF of Aperture 'book'. Each time it freezes on the same page ... this particular page is where I have one image stretched across two pages. Is this possibly a glitch with Aperture?
Ben
I've trashed my preferences several times; doesn't seem to help. I've also tried to use two copies of the same picture (right half on right page, left half on left page); but that doesn't work too well, as Aperture seems to want to favor one side or the other – and thus I can't adjust the two sides to match up properly.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated, thank you,
Ben

Hi Allen,
I'm all topped up, big graphics card, latest ver. of Tiger, permissions repaired every day or so. The mystery continues.
I love the IDEA of the two page spread. Have longed for it in Pages, where I'm producing a whole series of books ... a lot of two page spreads (but done by using two versions of the same still).
Thanks,
Ben

Programs stop responding when I try to print to PDF

Info on what I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
Using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, version 8.1.0, up to date on updates
In this example, Microsoft Office 2007, no add-ons besides the Adobe Acrobat add-in that allows the creation of a PDF (but happens in all programs)
Problem:
I have always created a PDF from a Word/Excel document by printing to PDF (File --> Print --> Select Adobe PDF as printer --> Hit OK). Generally, the next step that occurs is a dialog box appearing that prompts me to select the location where I want to save the PDF and to specify a file name. Several weeks ago, this process stopped working. Now when I hit "Ok" to print to PDF, no dialog box appears and whatever program I'm in freezes/stops responding. Aside: I have tried printing to PDF from several other programs to see if the problem occurs in those as well, and it does -- printing to PDF freezes whatever program I am attempting to print from. (For example, MS Paint, Internet Explorer, Firefox, even Notepad)
Bullet point summary of what I have tried:
Canceling the print jobs in the Adobe PDF printer under "Devices and Printers" (jobs say they are canceling but never clear from the print queue unless I go into Services and restart my print spooler) and reprinting (freezes again)
Restarting computer (had no effect)
Setting Adobe PDF as my default printer (had no effect)
Setting TrueType font as "Native TrueType" under the Adobe PDF printer properties (Layout --> Advanced --> PostScript Options) (suggested in another thread I read about this problem; had no effect)
Checking to make sure that Word had not "adjusted" the security settings for the Adobe add-in (disabling it) under the Trust Center (Adobe add-in was still enabled, so nothing to change there)
Changing the printer properties to print directly to the printer rather than spooling first (had no effect)
Saving as PDF using File --> Save As --> Selecting PDF as file type (does work and is an acceptable substitute except when I need to convert multiple files to PDF at once and don't have time to go in to each individual file and convert it separately)
Repairing the Acrobat installation from within Adobe or from the Programs and Features menu under the Control Panel (does work, did fix the problem; but see followup below).
Repairing the Acrobat installation worked when I did it a few weeks ago. Once I went through the process, I attempted to print a document to PDF and it worked. But this morning when I attempted to print another document to PDF, it froze Word again and has been doing that ever since, so it does not seem to be a permanent fix. I had succesfully printed several documents to PDF this morning before it stopped working; the document I printed to PDF immediately before the document that froze was the exact same as the document froze in every way except the actual text (formatting, document objects, etc.). So I don't think it was something in the content of the document that "broke" the Adobe PDF printer.
I am sure I can try repairing the Adobe installation again, but I really do not want to have to do that all of the time. Does anyone know what the problem is? I haven't found anything that explains what's going on.

Anyone?

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.

I am trying to create a print ready PDF from a word file with unacceptable results.
The word file has a trim size of 6” x 9”. It has been set to mirror margins with the inner, top and bottom margins set to 0.75”, the outer margin is set to 0.5” and the gutter to 0.14”.
It doesn’t matter if I create the PDF from inside Word, or open Acrobat Pro 11.0.9 and click Create From File, while the resulting document size is correct and the odd numbered pages reflect the correct margins, the even numbered pages do not. This results in some text near the outer margin, as well as the page numbers being omitted.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
I just noticed that some of the odd numbered pages' text is also cropped. Apparently Acrobat is refusing to set side margins to smaller than 1" (@ 3cm).

I'm away from my printer, so I'll try it later. Even so, the proposed test is irrelevant. I operate a small publishing house and am trying to upload certain novels to Ingram, the largest book distributor in the world. The specifications I've set are the specifications they've asked for. Since they've said that the results I'm obtaining are unacceptable, and since they demand submission in PDF form, this renders Acrobat Pro for Mac completely unacceptable for anyone in the publication industry. As far as I can tell, Adobe has a serious bug here that it needs to fix—and at once.

When I make a Book in Aperture and print a PDF proof version, all the modified photos (marked with Badges) are totally distorted. What is causing this? All other - non-modified photos - appear to be fine.

When I make a Book using Aperture 3 and print a PDF proof version, all images that have been modified within Aperture are distorted in PDF form. All other images appear ok.

As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
. Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.
See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

How do I print multiple PDFs AND fit them to my paper size?

Hi,
I'm using a 24 inch wide plotter with roll paper. I want to be able to print multiple PDFs AND fit them to a specified paper size. I can print one page and fit it to the paper, but I can't do it with multiple PDFs.
For example, I have two PDFs that are only 8x8 inches. I want to print them side by side on a 24 inch x 12 inch page size and fit them to size and then FIT them to the page size so the end result will be 2 PDFs printing at 12 x 12 side by side.
I can't seem to be able to do this. I'm sure I was able to do this using earlier versions. As it is, I have to print one at a time and waste half of my roll paper size.
Any help?
Adobe Acrobat Pro, Windows 7 Proffesional, HP Designjet 111 roll fed plotter.
Thanks
