Reader 9- Cant seem to keep ' Choose paper by PDF Page Size' uncheck -online doc

We have been looking at this for a long time.  If a certain posted doc gets printed and the Choose paper by PDF Page Size is checked, it breaks the users profile.  We have made that change on the doc before posting it but users still have the issue.  Also we have had users make the change locally but it doesnt 'keep' the setting.
Is there a way (GP or script) to force at the user session level?
This has been killing us for months.  My searches didnt yield any solutions either....

In order to get help you need to provide more detail about your settings. Perhaps the margins for the paper size you have chosen have print margins that leave a smaller print area than you think. In combination with this is there some sort of "scale to fit" set somewhere?
So what size paper are you printing to, and what is your document page size in Acrobat 7? I have the same printer and may be able to help if you provide more detail.

  • Adobe Reader 11 "choose paper source by pdf page size" does not work

    Hello,
    I have a user that utilizes the "choose paper source by pdf page size" option when printing a PDFs. He has a PDF that has a letter sized page and a legal sized page.
    I recently upgraded his Adobe Reader from 10 to 11 and now that option isn't working for him. The printer is an HP LaserJet M2727nf MFP.
    Are their any bugs regarding that feature in the new Adobe Reader?
    Thanks!

    If you have not updated Acrobat, try that before you go further. Currently AA9 is at 9.5.1.

  • Selecting "choose paper source by pdf page size" causes page to print as mirror image thumbnail

    Printing from acrobat reader 9.3.4 to a bizhub C220 printer/copier using the postscript driver in XP sp3. when you select "choose paper source by pdf page size" the document prints mirror image as a tiny thumbnail in the corner of the page? We have replicated the problem with different computers and other copier/printers. This does not occur when using the PCL driver. Any ideas?

    Do you not get any options after you have selected print
    then select Print using System dialogue
    which then opend another box , where I select Layout
    and can select how I want the document printed.
    As you can see I do use an Epson Printer though, but this is the way when using Mac OSX

  • Xerox 7830 fails to obey "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro -- Adobe issue or Xerox issue? Workaround?

    Our former office printer (Xerox 7345) had no problem with this. But the new Xerox 7830 fails to obey the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" option in Acrobat Pro. Even the "Page Setup" is overridden by the Xerox printer driver. It is extremely annoying to have to go into the Xerox driver dialog every time, regardless of that check in the box and the correct dimensions being displayed in the picture.....

    Unfortunately, not only does this not solve the problem with multi-page-size documents, but it's begun happening on files which are all one size as well, where that box isn't even checked.
    It appears that what's happening is the newer versions of Adobe Acrobat don't play nicely with emulated postscript support past a certain date. We're replacing our Canon with a newer model that has actual postscript support, and if that resolves the issue I'll be certain to post confirmation here. Copies of Adobe Acrobat 7 and 8 in our office haven't seen this problem at all; it's simply everyone who has upgraded past that point that can't print reliably.
    More news next week, after we get the new copier.

  • 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!!

  • Choose paper source by PDF page size not working

    I have a document that I printed to the Adobe PDF printer that is 36x24 and enabled "Choose paper source by PDF page size". However, when it prints the size is 16.59x11.56 (A3). Has anyone else had this? I can print it properly by disabling the option and hard setting the size in the properties. I have co-worker that has no problem with this.
    I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard and so does my co-worker.

  • Acrobat 9 "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" prints as thumbnail

    I have a customer who is trying to print a document that has different page sizes, eg. p.1 is 8 x 11, p.2 is 11 x 17. He can select the page size manually and everything works as expected. If you put a check mark in "Choose paper Source by PDF page size" it prints as backward thumbnails on 8 x 11. Selecting "print as image" makes it fill the page, but only prints on 8 x 11. Changing the printer driver to PCL did not fix, nor did installing an updated PS driver. All updates have been installed. I called tech support and they basically just gave me link to the script they use during troubleshooting. I also did a google search, but haven't come up with a valid answer. It is Acrobat 9 Standard on Win XP. Any advice is good advice.

    Hi heathers,
    You would need to print the file to a new PDF with the appropriate page size.

  • Is it possible to Default "Choose page source by PDF page size" option in the "Print" dialog box?

    I have an SSRS report that is rendered as a PDF file; the report has many columns and utilizes 11inx17in (Landscape) paper. However, once the report is rendered and users try to print the report they have to manually select the 'Choose Paper source by PDF page size' option in order to get the report to print on the correct paper (otherwise it defaults to standard letter size - landscape orientation).
    I'm aware of 'Print Presets' functionality; however, I don't believe they apply to this scenario. Is there a config file/registry setting/anything that can be specified to automatically set the 'Choose paper source by PDF page size' print setting = On/True/Checked?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Anybody out there?

  • Printing multiple sizes from a PDF - Choose page source by PDF page size is set

    I've tried this in both Reader 7 and 8.1. What I am experiencing is this:
    A user is printing a document which has both legal and letter sized pages. I have selected Choose page source by PDF page size when printing. The document will print all pages based on the first page. If I print just one page, it will print correctly.

    The expected behavior would be to print each page on paper according to its page size. For example, if there is a PDF file with five pages, page one and two are letter size, page three is legal, and page four and five are letter. When I print all pages, the entire set prints as letter. Page three should print on legal. If I print just page three alone, it will print on legal.

  • Paper Source by Page Size

    I often print documents on letter or legal size paper. I'm currently switching my office over from Windows based products (and Acrobat 9 Standard) to Mac, and upgraded to the newest Acrobat as well.
    When printing, I've noticed that the printer defaults to letter size documents for every PDF, even if the PDF is on legal paper. There is no option to select paper source by page size when printing.
    However, for each document, I can go to Properties > Advanced, and there's an option for "Paper Source by Page Size." However, this only applies to the current document, and not future documents.
    Am I missing something here? Why can't I default to select the paper source by page size? This was an option in Windows and Acrobat 9, so is this feature actually gone now?

    Hi Andrew,
    Apple made some pretty significant changes to the way that printers function when they released 10.6.
    The setting you're looking for is completely controlled by the OS.
    Choose Apple > System Preferences > Print & Fax.
    Click on your printer and use the drop-down menu to change the default page size for your printer.

  • Paper source by page size not doing the trick

    We are using Acrobat X on Windows 7.
    Are there printing presets that allow for 8.5x11 to print as is, but limits larger pages to 11x17?
    We have to deliver large PDFs to a commercial printer (so we'd like to save presets to file) for them to print a "book" for us.  The pages we have compiled are of various sizes:  8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, 23 x 24, etc.
    Our printer has 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 paper only, and so we'd like to limit the largest pages in our PDF to 11 x 17.  When we use Paper source by page size preset, the 23 x 24's throw an error -- they want A4 paper.
    We don't want to scale the 8.x5 x 11's up to 11 x 17.
    Is there a solution?
