Pro X to retain the page size from my macWord doc?

I am saving my MacWord doc to PDf (Pro X) and used a 6x9 template. However the PDF size is something completely different (not 6x9). How do I fix this?

The problem is that no Adobe Printer 10 installs in the printer queue, with the result that Acrobat 10 doesn't recognize the customized page size settings but instead reverts to the default paper size, usually letter or A4. My current solution was arrived at by experimentation. Don't use Distiller 10 but rather whatever version of Distiller you've used up to this point to convert the Postscript file to PDF. I also set the default paper size to the custom size in printer prefs, although I'm not certain that's necessary. Will experiment later.
This is clearly a problem with the software installation, unless there's a way to install the printer at a later time I've failed to locate. At least I don't have to, as I feared I might, uninstall all the Acrobat software and start over from scratch. I was using 8 upgraded from 7, and that would be a massive pain in the butt.

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?

It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file.

Extract the Page Size from the Document Properties

I have multiple drawings of various sizes and need to extract the page size from the document properties of each drawing.
this.info object can be used to extract the title, author, subject etc of a document but there is no property shown for extracting the page size.
Can any one please advise a way of extracting the page size from the document properties of a file?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.
Once the page size can be extracted I will be using a script to place a stamp with onto the drawing depending on the page size.
Thank you.

Thank you for your help George.
I have used the getPageBox script as follows:
var aRect = this.getPageBox("Crop");
var width = aRect[2] - aRect[0];
var height = aRect[1] - aRect[3];
console.println("Page 1 has a width of " + width + " and a height of " + height);
The console reports back - Page 1 has a width of 1162 and a height of 814.
The actual drawing shows in the document properties page size as 40.988 x 28.713 cm.
Can you please advise why the getPageBox measurement is not reporting correctly?

How do I change the page size of a pdf?

I'm trying to send a manuscript to a printing service in another city. It was produced using Microsoft Publisher. In Acrobat Pro I changed the page size from the default (8 1/2" x 11") to the size of my finished document --- 7.8" x 10". Yet when I send the manuscript to the printer it's still the larger size. I've tried right-clicking on the pdf printer and changing to a close approximation (7.5" by 10"), which is listed as one of the available alternatives, but it won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

@Gabrielle – if you change the size in your document setup, pages always crop from the center of your spread, if you are using facing pages:

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

Can I increase the page size in an existing PDF?

We have a PDF of a CAD drawing from a consultant. The problem is, the page size is letter, and we need it to be tabloid to accommodate a section of General Notes and a Cost Estimate table. We would rather not go back to the consultant both from a cost standpoint and from a time standpoint.
Is it possible to increase the page size within the PDF so that I have some blank space at top or bottom for the needed blocks?
I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
Thanks!

Hi Mamie ,
Please refer to the following kb document and see if this helps.

Print by choosing paper source by PDF page size from MAC

I have an iMAC with Maverick OS. I am printing to both an HP 401 monochrome laser printer and an HP Laser Jet Pro CM1415fnw Color Printer. I receive .pdf files which contain both letter and legal sized pages. I know that I cannot print out letter and legal size pages by selecting "choose paper source by PDF page size" from my MAC. This does present a problem for me (and I'm sure many others). What I would like to know is 1) is there a way around this problem and 2) are there any plans for Adobe to address a resolution to this issue by fixing the option so that MAC users can achieve the same level of ease of print results as Window users? There is certainly a large segment of the population who are now MAC users. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion, Steve. I did go to that link and asked the same
information of Adobe directly. Their NB at the bottom of the page says
that due to the large number of questions asked and information requested,
they usually do NOT respond to the users. Too bad. How else are we
supposed to get valid info? I believe almost all the other software
vendors do have a contact location from which they will address user's
concerns and will contact you with some kind of info. Welcome to the new
world of customer service!! i.e., Go figure it out by yourself!!

How do I set the Page size default in Adobe Reader using Window 8?

I need to set the page size everytime I go to print from my Adobe Reader in my windows 8. Is there a way to set the page I want letter (8.5 by 11) as a default? So I do not have to do this everytime I print something?

I can't help but wonder why Adobe doesn't respond to this - at this point there are 464 views of this item and still no answer. I have the same problem and it's a big irritation to have to set the duplex mode everytime I want to print!

HP PhotoSmart Premium C310 - Windows 8 and Office 2013 - Where have the page sizes gone

I have just upgraded to Office 2013 on my windows 8 PC.
Now when I goto print, and click "printer properties" evert drop down is blank, and all the titles are in Chinese. HELP please.
Also the page size options have now lost useful things like A4, Letter etc.
Technet says to upgrade my printer drivers, but I'm on the latest ones, I can't contact support, as It says my printer is no under warranty support any more. I don't have fault with the printes, its with the driver. Please HP help.
I can supply screen shots of the issue, but could not work out how to post them here!
Everything worked O.K. with office 2010.
Thanks

So only print functions and printer-related settings are in another language? Did you use the installation disc that came with the printer or did you download the software from the HP Website?
Here is a video on how to uninstall the HP driver from Windows 8 in case you can not understand the words. And here is a link to the Photosmart Premium C310 Full Feature Software and Drivers for a Windows 8 64-bit PC in United Kingdom. When I went to www.hp.com/support, I selected your country first and then chose the Software and Drivers section after that. You will want to click the "Download" button and follow those instructions. I hope this helps you. Let me know if this provides for you the proper driver.

Adjusting the page size in numbers on the ipad

I need to be able to adjust/set the page size for numbers documents on the ipad. Every time I export the numbers document from icloud as a pdf to a pc the spreadsheets are all over the place with page breaks in the wrong places. If i export as an excel I lose all formatting. I can't download as a numbers doc as the pc will not support it. Is there a way of setting and locking the document/page size with out going through the print option as i do not have an airprint printer and am not going to get one either!

I don't see a setting for page size. Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
Click the wrench
Share & Print
Print
Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
Done (don't actually print it)
I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it. I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.

How to change the page size of a replicated container?

Hi, I would like to change the page size of dbxml 2.3.10.10 containers in a replicated environment.
This is what I tried so far:
1) dbxml_dump/dbxml_load (bot utils not usable in a replicated environment)
2) db_dump/db_load. db_dump works fine. db_load seems to work fine, since it succesfully creates a database/container from a dump file. But it does not correctly initialise the internal dbxml structures since the database/container can not be opened, although getContainers works...
Besides writing my own dump/load clients, is there any other option to change the page size of an existing container?
Regards,
Jacobus Geluk

Hi George,
dbxml_dump seems to work fine, but ends with this message:
DATA=END
dbxml_dump: Non-replication DB_ENV handle attempting to modify a replicated environment
dbxml_dump: dump <container name>.dbxml: Error: Unexpected error opening Configuration DB
dbxml_load more or less has the same error...
I am currently writing a little Java program that simply dumps all XML documents of all containers in a directory structure...
That would work as long as the file system can handle it...
I suppose dbxml_dump/load could be made to work quite easily by just copying their sources and specifiying the replication settings...
All utilities that cause log activity, that currently do not support replicated environments, should support replicated environments that simply use the default replication transport mechanism. With some additional command line options like --sites it would work...
Regards,
Jacobus
