Reducing Page Boarders when printing.

I have what might require a very simply solution (or perhaps not...).
I constantly am required to print PDF documents. I enjoy using the print two pages to one in the printing options.
My problem is the excessive footprint that many articles require making the text considerably smaller than it needs to be. I have found this to be a common problem and would appreciate any input.
Below I have uploaded a picture of one of my latest examples.(I can even upload the files if anyone would need to view them to prescribe a fix.)
As you can see the top document has a dramatic border, even the bottom document's border is twice what I want.
I am currently using Adobe Reader 9 (latest version) and have access to the CS4 version as well if needed.

You can only fix this problem using Acrobat not Reader.

Discoverer Plus - Problem with Page Orientation when printing pdf's

Hi,
When printing pdf's in Disco Plus I have a problem:
My workbooks are a mixture of landscape and portrait pages.
I am printing the entire workbook and then using cutepdf to produce a pdf.
If I print to paper I get the correct landscape/portrait settings.
If I print to pdf then landscape pages appear vertically when I view on screen so that the text is running from bottom to top of the page.
So it is picking up th portrait/landscape settings from the individual worksheets but cutepdf has not realised that the pages are landscape so they appear on the screen vertically.
This was not a problem on discoverer desktop so I am confident that this is not a problem with cutepdf.
Any thoughts?
Justin

PDFMaker changes page orientation when printing to pdf

Hi all! I am praying for an answer. My job requires me to convert huge word documents to pdf using the pdfmaker add-in with acrobat Professional 8.1.3. My problem is as follows and has occured in two seperate documents. I have Microsoft word 2007 and run on a VIsta OS.
   So my problem is when I create a pdf from word acrobat for some odd reason changes any page's orientation that contain excel spreadsheets that have been inserted (I believe through copy and paste and they are not linked to excel). Thus I get a page with a landscape spreadsheet with a profile orientation and it cuts off the information for my client. By the way, it does the complete opposite of whatever orientation I choose.
   Here are some things I have tried: I tried saving document as a 97-2003 word file and create pdf from that version, I have changed the PDFmaker advanced settings for auto-rotate pages and tried all three options to no avail. I really need some help fast! I will love anyone who solves this problem for me.
Thanks,
       Jason.

GREAT NEWS!!! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!
Okay so after a lot of frustration and mountain dew I have figured this out, but first the problem is simpler then I listed it. So here is the actual problem:
I had a document with multiple sections and one section was oriented landscape while the rest were profile. When printing to PDF the resulting pdf file had all sections in profile and ignored any change in orientation and cut off/cropped out elements of the pages I had in landscape orientation.
SOLUTION:
The solution to this problem is in two parts: 1) changing some print preview stuff in word, and 2) changing preferences in pdfmaker/acrobat ribbon.For this solution to actually work however you must have the landscaped sections sectioned off by inserting section breaks in word.
Step 1) Go to the section where you document orientation is changed from the rest of the document. Press the office button (in 2007) and drag down to print>print preview. You will notice that your section has now reverted to profile. (Ah Ha!) Change the page orientation to landscape.
            "But wait, now my margins or elements are getting cut off" you say. Go to Page setup. Make sure that near the bottom it says "Apply to: This section"
            Now make it landscape and this changes the margins to also be landscape.
Step 2) Click on your Acrobat tab and go to preferences. Under pdfmaker settings click advanced settings and as Bill and I have said change auto-rotate pages to individually.
AND YOU ARE DONE!!!!!

Page Numbering when printing a multiple sheet document

I moved this post from Pages after accidentally posting it there earlier...
In considering an approach to solving a problem posted earlier today I thought about using the Continue (Page Numbers) from Previous Sheet setting in the Sheet Inspector to display a sequence of numbers on a series of sheets. All looked good on the live document, but when Printing to PDF or Exporting to PDF, I get the same first page number on each sheet. Further, the number on that first page depends on which Sheet was selected when I did the export. All pages and sheets print/export, it's just the page numbering that seems anomalous.
Let's say I have a document with three two-page sheets. On the live document, page numbers are 1 and 2 on the first sheet, 3 and 4 on the second sheet, etc. Just what I would expect. When printed to PDF or exported to PDF, I get 1,2,1,2,1,2 or 3,4,3,4,3,4 or 5,6,5,6,5,6 depending on which sheet is selected as I begin the export or print dialog.
Any one else seeing this? Is there a logical explanation for it? This is on a MBP with Snow Leopard. I haven't tried printing to paper to see what happens there.
Jerry

Hi Jerry,
Not the same results, but I did get weird ones.
Using iBook & OS X 10.4.11.
Three two page sheets, each with a single table. Sheet 2 and sheet three produced by Duplicating Sheet 1.
Live display shows pn/pc as
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 6/6
Preview (sheet 3 selected), created by clicking preview button in Print dialogue, shows
1/6, 2/6, 3/4, 4/4, 5/6, 6/6
Preview (sheet 1 selected) shows same as above.
Preview (sheet 2 selected) shows same as live.
1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6, 6/6
Repeating print to preview with s2, s1, s3 selected gives correct results each time.
Regards,
Barry

Page truncated when printing a transparent color with Windows 2000

Hi,
We use the JDK 1.5.0_11 in a Windows 2000 SP4 platform with 2GB of RAM.
When printing a transparent color on a large page with a Windows 2000 platform,
- The printed page is unexpectedly truncated (the bottom of the page is not printed) or
- Even worse, the operating system crashes with a blue screen.
Notice that we neither have any exception thrown nor any log written !
Notice that this problem never occurs with a Windows XP platform !
The problem can be reproduced as follows:
1. Run the sample below,
2. The "Page Setup" dialog is opened,
3. Select a large paper size such as A2 or A1,
4. Press the "Ok" button,
5. The "Print" dialog is opened,
6. Select a printer which can handle this paper size,
7. Press the "Ok" button,
8. The printed page is unexpectedly either truncated or the operating system crashes.
If you do not have a printer handling such large paper sizes,
the problem can still be reproduced using the latest version of "PDFCreator".
Could anybody provide us with some hints ?
Thank you very much for your help ...

        g2.draw(outline);
        return PAGE_EXISTS;
}

I did this with the Windows de-installer and it did not work. Is there something more I need to do? Does Mozilla have a program for removing its software that is more complete?

Keep recto/verso page placement when printing 'Multiple' pages on single sheet

Dear All,
my book is designed for duplex printing. Every chapter starts on recto (odd) page.
When I need to print it for proofreading in the multiple mode (2 pages on single sheet), pages do not follow the original intent as the first page is placed on the verso page (left half of the sheet), not recto one (right half). I couldn't find any option to place the first page on the recto 'side' in the Print dialog.
My current workaround is to place one blank page at the beginning of my PDF file.
But I'd like to avoid this manual step in the future. Is there a more efficient way?
Btw, it would be nice to add a single option for this into the Print dialog. It could be handy for everyone.
What is the best place for such kind of feature request?
Thanks, Jan

have no idea about what is wrong on your machine.
Here doing that I get a normal behavior:
You may try:
a - quit/close Numbers
trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers.pli st
empty the trash
restart Numbers.
b - try to do the job from an other user account
tell us how the beast behaves.

Page orientation when printing from iBooks Author

I have a iBooks document, all in portrait orientation. If I print this doc then it is printed in landscape even if I change the orientation to portrait within the printing interface. iBooks somehow is stuck to landscape when printing.
Who has got a solution to this?
Daniel

Without specifying your higher goal, it is difficult for me to decide on what part of the question the emphasis lies, sorry.
Are you trying to ask for help in the forum or to file a bug?
I'm hoping that someone here has figured out how to control the orientation when exporting to PDF. I haven't been able to find a way to do that.
while there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.
Actually, there is: the Apple Developer Program. I have submitted a number of bug reports for IBA there, and have received timely and constructive responses from the development team.
Good luck and welcome to iBA.
I've been using IBA since it was released, as you well know.

Page Layout when Printing slides from Keynote

I don't often print my Keynote presentations, but I would like to be able to print FOUR slides on one sheet (landscape format) with one slide in each quadrant or corner. All I can select --as far as I can tell-- is a single column with all 4 slides minutely scaled down the page. The slides are far toooooooo small to read. CAN I CHANGE THE LAYOUT FOR PRINTING SO THAT HAVE 2 COLUMNS OF 2 SLIDES EACH? Many thanks for your suggestions!

When I do Print > Handouts > 4 slides per page, it puts the slides stacked on top of one another (ie 1 column of slides, 4 rows). I assume you would want to have 2 columns of slides and two rows. I don't know how to do this in Keynote, but if you are in Keynote, just do a File > Export > PDF. If you are printing in color, I'd select Image Quality > Best. Once you have the PDF of the presentation, open it with Preview. From Preview, do a File > Print. When the Print "window" comes up, you select your landscape orientation. At the bottom of the window, you will see a dropdown option that says "Images per page" and select 4. This should do the trick.
Be careful when you do the export from Keynote to PDF. There are a lot of options to include or exclude page numbers, builds, etc. in the PDF.
Hope this helps.

Pages crashing when printing to PDF

I have a pages document with Chicago Style footnotes. Pages put the footnotes in automatically when I put footnote numbers in my text. When I try to print or export to pdf, Pages crashes. It creates the pdf file, but it is empty. It does not do this with other files, so i am assuming something in the footnote formatting is causing the error.

Check the fonts used.
The last few System updates have installed faulty fonts including Hoefler Text and Franklin Gothic which have caused problems in Pages.
Update your system with the downloaded [Combo OSX 10.6.4|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048] updater to fix the problem.

Adjust page margins when printing from websites

I'm trying to print a page from the internet that contains a picture and text. When I click on "printer friendly" the page comes out with text on the right side cut off.

Thank you for your replies. Here are the procedures I have tried:
Page is open in Safari, click on file, print. Whenn the print menu drops down that is when the page shows as being cut off on the right.
I don't have an option of printing to PDF however I have tried to save it to PDF and the page does the same thing.
It's just so puzzling/frustrating.

Preserving Pages metadata when printing to PDF

When I print a Pages document as PDF, I'm given the option to provide metadata such as title, author, subject, and keywords. I already inputted this information into the Pages file, under the Document Inspector. Is there a way for Pages to automatically repurpose these values for the PDF edition?
I tried Exporting as a PDF but that didn't preserve this data either.
-Ken

I checked in both Preview and Acrobat Pro.
You are right, it seems Pages keeps this just as internal metadata.
Seems pretty useless. Tell Apple:
+Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback+

Output is reduced in size when printing PDF documents with Preview

When I print a PDF file with Preview the printed output seems to be about 20% smaller than actual. If I print the same file with Adobe Reader for Mac the output is normal and not reduced. Other file types do not seem to have the same issue. I don't recall having this problem before I upgraded to Leopard. Any ideas?
Thanks
Jack

Hi Jack,
If you have a rummage through Preview's Preferences and look at the scale settings in the 'PDF' tab, do you have it set to respect the 100% scale factor of the PDF? This can sometimes affect the scaling when the PDF was formated for a different paper size from the one you're trying to print it on. If everything there seems to be ok, try comparing the two different expanded print diaogs which you receive in Preview and Adobe Reader, looking at things like scaling and paper-size again.

Suppress page header when printing sub reports

Post Author: GSchmidt
CA Forum: General
I am looking for information on how to suppress the page header on the main report when a certain subreport(s) are printed within group footers.

Post Author: Charliy
CA Forum: General
Set a Shared Variable in the Report Header of your subreport. PrintFoot := "NO"
Check it in the Print Suppress formula of the Page Footer of your main report
Reset in the the Report Footer of the subreport. PrintFoot := "YES"
You'll als have to initially set it to the "okay to print" value in the Report Header of the main report just to get started.

Page Order when printing a book changes while ordering ?!?!

Hi Guys, (sorry for a bit of a lack of good english)
yesterday i had the opportunity to try apperture 2.0 at a friends mac and wanted to create a photobook with his apperture as a gift.
I created a 32 pages medium sized softcover book. 32 pages is the count of numbers at the side of the pages, but there is the cover, that is not counted, as well as the innerside of the cover and the backcover and its inner side that is not counted.
Ok, there are several pics that stretch out over two pages, so i have one big pic over two connected sites.
But (and now comes the real problem ;-)) when i ordered and choose the preview to verify the order, it merges the sites in a funny way, that is not my desired one, so that the two sites pics are not connected anymore. now u have to turn pages to see the "second part" of the "two sided" pics .
How come ? And what can i do to set the order of pages exactly as i want to, and not be merged, nor rather be a page added or what by apperture when ordering.
Again sorry for my bad english, hope problem became clear
Fred

Matt Broughton,
Thank you for your reply. CocoaBooklet may offer a solution, though it mentions it creates booklets out of PDF files. My first interest remains to create a singular PDF from a Word-file. So far I've used another app called CreateBooklet, which also worked as described as with CocoaBooklet. I have to say that I'm surprised not being able to find an app that will print dedicated sets of A4 (or another format), I can't be the only one trying to do this. Having said that, the most easy way to accomplish the feat might be to break up the document into saved-to-pdf files (4 A4 at a time) and then merge them into 1 file using Os X's Preview? Hope not, I'm open to suggestions...
thanks again!
