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.  <br /><br />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.<br /><br />http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/es/sdkHelp/programmer/javadoc/com/adobe/livecycle/g eneratepdf/client/GeneratePdfServiceClient.html<br /><br />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.<br /><br />(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)

  • When I print a pdf file, the first page is dramatically  reduced in size while remainder pages print correct size. How do I fix this pro blem?

    recently, when printing pdf files, the first page prints out as 1/10 or 1/20th original size while rest of document prints correctly.
    I have no idea how this happened or why and I have no idea how to fix. I cannot get the first page of any pdf doocument to
    print correctly and thus, I am virtually unable to print pdf files.

    Sometimes if a .pdf is smaller than actual 8 1/2 x 11 or bigger, you'll either get way too much of the image and it's cut off, or the image is too small. You should also try to do this in the print driver window: Properties -> Advanced -> Image Options -> Disable "PostScript pass-through"

  • 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.

  • Cannot print my pdf's the printer say its the wrong page size?  Powerpoint Word Excel are all fine

    Every time I try to print a pdf my printer now says No paper-Custom Size.  It used to work fine and other programs work fine.

    I had this problem.  The error message said that this document cannot be printed and after clikcking ok, another message said that the page wasn't selected or something like that.  I went to Programs and Features in Vista Control Panel and deleted Adobe Reader 9.  Then I rebooted and went to adobe.com and installed the 9.1 version.  Now, I can print my documents.  I hope this helps you!

  • Printing a PDF at a larger page size

    Proabably an easy fix but I hit a wall,  my document is 13"x19" and I want to print it out full frame on our 4880 but it keeps defaulting to 8.5x11", how can I change the page size (or where) so it prints the full 13"x19"s?
    Thanks

    I have a similar problem, question related to this thread. Even though I have set up Adobe Acrobat 8 to print to my Epson 1400 at Super-B size (even using custom size of 13x19") in page set-up, it seems to be printing my page like it's a 'cropped 8.5x11" page. No matter what I have tried, I can't get this to print full-page. It was working last week (or a few weeks agoand it's possible that the last OS patches screwed this up somehow maybe. I can't recall when I printed and when the other installs were done. It will print fine from Photoshop, full page (as I did that last week).
    I am using a Mac, OS 10.5 latest version, and I have uninstalled, and resinstalled the epson print drivers, removed and added the printer from the OS, trashed Adobe Acrobat's prefs, restarted my computer and acrobat... and I'm at the end of my rope not being able to think of anything else to try. Any help or suggestions on this one? I'm stumped and need to print these pages out properly! I have to print them from Acrobat to get consistent color on what I'm printing so I can't print from in Design...
    HELP!

  • PDF renders the wrong page numbers

    Have been trying to convert some word documents to PDF.. The page number in the word is in the format "Page 1 of N, Page 2 of N..... Page N of N".. but after conversion the PDF shows the page number as Page 1 of 1, Page 2 of 2, Page 3 of 3...... Page N of N. Is this a problem with the page number formatting in word or is it something wrong with the PDF convertor? Plz help... this is driving me crazy...

    Hi there,
    I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble. Are you using the online service Adobe CreatePDF to create your PDF files? If so, whatever information is in the file should be converted precisely into the PDF; if you're using Adobe Acrobat desktop software, I'm afraid you're in the wrong forum. You may want to repost your question here: www.acrobatusers.com/forum
    If you are using CreatePDF and would like assistance, please let me know the details of your process so I can try to help. Thank you for your patience!
    Best,

  • How do I stop Firefox from claiming to have sessionrestore errors or opening the wrong session items and/or remember the wrong window size and/or position.

    Since automatically updating to version 25 Firefox is randomly opening recent tabs and windows from the browsing history, and/or randomly positioning the browser window from history.
    Currently using Firefox 25.0.1 on Windows Vista and Windows 7. Problems started immediately after automatic updates to 25.0.0. Problems are most noticeable on the Vista box because it has so much screen geography (the Windows 7 box is a laptop).
    Problems include:
    Firefox may open the correct tabs into a properly sized and positioned window, without problem. (Not a problem, included for completeness since it does, occasionally, work without error).
    Firefox open a single empty tab (about:blank, my Home page). (Listed as a problem because Firefox simply forgot the tab which was open.)
    Firefox may claim it cannot open the correct tabs and pop up about:sessionrestore. Proceeding will open all tabs (usually only one or two for me). This gives the impression Firefox did not actually have a problem. But, then, often, the tab Firefox is having problems restoring is about:blank so I should hope there was no problem!
    Firefox may open randomly selected recent browsing items, without other problems. This gives the impression that Firefox does not properly record recent history for about:sessionrestore. Checking History appears correct; Firefox simply reached back hours, or days, or even weeks, and restored a random session from long ago.
    Any of the above may occur, but the window position and/or size will be randomly selected from another recent history item. This is most noticeable when the position is on the wrong monitor and can be annoying since Firefox simply "disappears" if (as it often is for me) that other monitor is disconnected or powered off.

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.<br />
    Also make sure that your anti-virus software doesn't mess with files in the Firefox profile folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

  • Opening Numbers and getting the same page size and location each time

    Can someone help me with something which is pretty basic, please?
    When I open a Numbers spreadsheet which I use frequently, each time it opens as a tiny box and always has to be resized and repositioned onscreen before I can start work.
    I figure there must be something I can do to have it open in the same screen position and the same size each time, but what?

    Hi Norman,
    Your tags show OS X Mavericks 10.9. The latest version of Mavericks is 10.9.2
    Are using Numbers 3.0 ? The lates version of Numbers is 3.1 and it does save the zoom.
    Maybe this will help, but it does not work in Numbers 3.0
    Numbers > Preferences > General > Default Zoom > 100% (or whatever % you want).
    And Save your document before closing to retain the zoom and position.
    The Numbers *window* size can not (yet) be saved, but the zoom and the position within a sheet can be saved in Numbers 3.1
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border?

    How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border? (2 pages per sheet preferred)
    I usually print pdfs of books at a copy shop and they turn out fine.
    The problem comes when I try to print the same books at home.
    I use Adobe Acrobat X with the same settings: "multiple pages per sheet" (2x1) and page border. But the pages are slightly shrunken when printed. I think this is because my printer can't print as closely to the margins. Still, two pages should be able to fit on one sheet in actual size. Are there any layout settings that I can play with to find a better fit, besides portrait and landscape?
    If I select page scaling "none," I'm able to print the pdf in actual size, one page per sheet. But there's no option to add a page border.

    I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
    "if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
    "if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
    My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

  • I am trying to print a PDF file to a legal size paper and I would like for it to fill up the page. How do I do this? I went into the settings and changed it from letter to legal, but it's still printing out the same size. Can someone help me, please?

  • Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

    We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
    We are using Adobe Reader 8
    The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
    The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
    The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
    We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application.  The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
    If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all.  The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
    If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer).  This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
    Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
    Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
    Thanks!

    No.

  • Printer prints off the wrong pages - HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-one J610 series

    I have a HP Desket 3050 all-in-one J610 and I am running Windows 7 64-bit.
    I'm trying to print off some pages, first through google chrome and then through adobe reader, and the printer prints off the wrong pages. Eg, I told it to print of pages 41-64 odd only and I got all of the even pages. Now, if I try to print anything off, I get the odd page below and the settings are set to 'print all pages'. It was working fine a week ago and nothing's changed since then.
    I tend to use fast draft paper quality as these are lectures notes and not particularly important, but I have tried the normal quality paper and it does the same thing.
    Could anybody help?

    I am having the same problem as Daviemj with HP Desktop D110.  Really tired of the time it takes to use this printer. Solution?   Does anyone know of a good 3 in 1 printer?

  • Wrong page size for my printer

    When I try to print an A4 page to my HP CLJ CP3505 in PostScript mode from Acrobat Pro 9.4.2, the page size and preview says Letter, and nothing goes to the printer.
    I've checked all possible places and the page size is definitely A4 everywhere in the printer's setting and any place I can think of. Despite that, the print dialog says Letter and I can't find any way to change it.
    Printing to this printer driver from any other program works correctly, including Acrobar Reader, and also printing to the same printer in PCL mode (or any other printer) works fine.
    I'm prretty sure it worked a couple of weeks ago. Don't know when it started but it may have been after upgrading Reader to Reader X.
    I have tried to repair the Acrobat installation to no avail.
    Ideas?

    You should be able to enter the Printers paper choices through the Properties tab.
    If the document is indeed the "Choose paper source by paper size" toggle should suffice.

  • PDF is the wrong size from framemaker 8

    I am trying to create a PDF from Framemaker 8. The page size of the doc is US letter (216mm x 279mm)
    I am tring to change this to A4 (210mm x 297mm). Margins or extra white space is not an issue.
    Not matter what setting I change in Framemaker 8, either in the print dialog under "PDF setup" or in "Setup"
    where I am changing everything to A4 my PDF generates as 210mm x 279mm
    I have tried various job options and but still the PDF is the wrong size
    FYI I am using Frame 8/Distiller 9..
