Printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side)

Safari 7.0.5 on Mavericks 10.9.4: printing to pdf gives improper formatting (page is cut off on one side). Any suggestions?

I am trying to print from Safari. The problem happens without respect to the zoom level, as I have tried many times with several different web pages, from fully zoomed in to fully zoomed out. It also happens without respect to whether I use the print option (and then specify to print to pdf) or use File>Export to pdf...
Irritating, as the "save as... "option is not foolproof either.
Any thoughts?

Printing to .pdf from Word, right margin is cut off or truncated. Is there a fix for this?

I often have to print Word (2011) documents to a PDF. I never noticed a problem before. But I noticed that recently (can't say when it started), the right margin is cut off or truncated. And I cannot figure out a way to stop it!
What has changed in Mountain Lion PDF creation via the Print function is causing this!
Any help would be appreciated!

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!

Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed

We are planning to Silent print a PDF from a web page using Flex. We are targeting Windows and Mac with Arcobat reader installed. I have tried using the AIR appliaction and it worked, But our requirement is NO INSTALL to the user machine for the silent printing. It is just from web page and silent printing to the default printer to the desktop/Laptop. Can anyone share your thoughts and experience with us. It will be very helpful..
For AIR : I tried the thread Re: AIR and PDF showing/silent printing

Hey CodeMonkey & Ross,
Did you either of you ever find a solution? I'm stuck too, it seems I can get remote printing on all these PDFs to work but it just prints a blank page since I've been using Javascript in the browser, not Adobe's (they are Engineering drawings that I do not have permission to edit so I can't just insert code into them but I need to make work instructions). I've been scouring the internet for hours now, it seems that this thread is the only relevant/useful one at this point. No one else was trying to achieve this for similar reasons to mine.
Thanks guys,
Lox

When I print large PDF's of 10+ pages I get multiple duplicate pages.

When I print large PDF's of 10+ pages the print order goes in the following sequence.
Page 1, Page 1-2, Page 1-2-3, Page 1-2-3-4, Page 1-2-3-4-5 .... and continues in that fassion until the printer is out of paper.
When a smaller document prints it comes out fine like page 1-9 in sequesnce as it should. I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 fully patched and Adobe Reader X 10.1.3. This is very strange as there is only one machine in the office that is doing it and I have tried instalingin and reinstalling the printers and the Adobe readr in order to fix this and there isn't really anything that I can find that might be causing the issue.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Pages. There's a Pages Support Community where everybody uses Pages. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages

Print bordless page, margin cut off

Hello ,
I have a problem on printing on bordless page type. Even though I set up thepage to have 0 margins (the printer allows me this - so I am not forcing it to 0), I have 2 possible situations:
- if I use the setPageable, before printing I will have the image considered to be at 0,0 , but the printer leaves a margins, so the image looks cut off
- if I use setPrintable(..) then the image is printed from a certain margin, the image is no longer cut off, but is not on 0,0 either.
Any sugestions?
Many thnx in advance!

Here is some code:
pageFormat - is an object taken from a page Format dialog, one of my own, the values passed from there are OK.
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
               MediaPrintableArea mediaPrintableArea;
               mediaPrintableArea = new MediaPrintableArea((float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableX() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableY() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableWidth() / 72), (float) (pageFormat
                         .getPaper().getImageableHeight() / 72), MediaSize.INCH);
               attributeSet.add(mediaPrintableArea);
               attributeSet.add(pagePrintFormat.getMediaName());
               if (pagePrintFormat.getPageFormat().getOrientation() == PageFormat.PORTRAIT) {
                    attributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.PORTRAIT);
               } else {
                    attributeSet.add(OrientationRequested.LANDSCAPE);
               if (this.printJob.printDialog(attributeSet))
                    try {...printing job...}

When I print a selected area of web page, it doesn't fit to the paper. The end of each page are cut off. Is there any solution?

I'm very sure my printer is set cirrectly.
Can't Firefox shrink to fit when I want to print a selected area of web pages?
This has never occurred in IE.

File >Page Setup -- check your margins, I have set size to 85% which is probably left over from some problem. Also check your printer that it is correctly set to the size of the paper.

I have a problem with landscape oriented pages being cut off at 8.5" horizontally, when in Design View.

I am trying to edit a form created in livecycle designer. Some of the pages are in portrait orientation and some in landscape orientation. The problem is that all the landscape oriented pages are cut off at 8.5" horizontally, so I can't edit the part that is cropped off. the full horizontal width of the landscape pages are visible in Preview PDF mode, but not Design View mode. Does anyone know what I need to do to be able to see all of the 11" width of these landscape oriented pages in Design Mode?
thanks

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

Yes, but the part cut off the bottom of the first page should appear at the top of the second. No content should be lost, just split between pages.
Safari makes little or no attempt to keep a line of print or a picture from splitting across pages, seemingly just imaging the web page as one large image and printing so many inches or millimeters of the image per page.

Google home page is cut off

Hi. Has anyone else noticed that the word google on the search page is cut off on the iPad? I think it is not problem with the iPad cause it works okay on all other sites. Please help.

@KP ..... I am having no problem whatsoever with Google using Safari this morning.
@Vibor .... You could try restarting your iPad. Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut down. Hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also try quitting Safari and then restart the iPad. Tap the home button to go to the home screen. Double tap the home button to bring up the recent apps at the bottom. Find Safari. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Then tap the minus sign to close Safari. Restart the iPad as described above.

Am unable to print cd covers. All I get is the songlist on one side and a black space where the picture should be. Any suggestions?

Thanks Bob.
I am thinking along the same line.
It's interesting that some of the unaffected graphics in the document come up as embedded, but some are just placed there with no link information.
I guess it's just a matter of how the original graphic was treated or saved.

In Design View horizontal pages are cut off to portrait dimensions. How to fix this?

I am trying to edit a form in livecycle designers "Design View" mode. Some pages are horizontal but they are displayed all in portrait mode, cutting off the right side of these horizontal pages so i can not see or edit them. Is there some way to fix it so I can see all of the page on these hoirzontal pages?

If you want fast and professional, spend the money for PVII's Pop-Menu Magic3. You won't regret the investment.

As it stands right now, your responsive-nav.css file is 404 not found on server. Personally, I wouldn't use Spry for anything. But that's your cross to bear.
Scroll down to the various media break points and add the code in bold red
/* Mobile Layout: 480px and below. */
.gridContainer {
width: 100%;
ul.MenuBarHorizontal {display:none}
/* Tablet Layout: 481px to 768px. Inherits styles from: Mobile Layout. */

How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers. For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it.
I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw, which seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s). No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer". I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier.
Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's. Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached. Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes, I am a printer capable of doing this....". (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution? Is there an existing product I can use? Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers? Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
Thanks!

Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

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.
