"Scale to fit paper size" ......doesn't

It's often convenient to scale a web page down to fit the entire page on letter size.
This is doable with the Scale field in the print dialog box.
On the other hand, I can't get Paper Handling>"Scale to fit paper size" to work in Safari.
It works in Pages, TextEdit, Preview, and Word.
Why not Safari?
I've found posts on the Internet making the same observation, but no answers.

Suggest you post this on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having trouble with:

Scale to fit paper size (no custom paper size?)

I used to have a custom paper size called "No. 6-3/4 envelopes" defined under Page Setup. For example, in Pages I would adjust the document's page size to the size of my envelope (6.5 x 3.63 inches). However, to get it to print correctly, after selecting File > Print... I would need to select "Paper Handling" (dropdown) and check "Scale to fit paper size". Then select from "Destination Paper Size" (dropdown) my custom page size that I defined in Page Setup. It would appear as a custom size near the bottom of the list after all the standard sizes such as US Letter. By not doing this before printing a custom size envelope, my HP printer throws an error that it does not support the page size.
However, after upgrading to Lion, I'm not seeing my custom paper size underneath the "Destination Paper Size" list. It doesn't show any custom sizes I've defined from Page Setup as it did in 10.6 Snow Leopard. Is this a bug?

Nevermind, I seemed to have solved my own issue which drove me crazy for the last 30 minutes. By swapping the Width and Height for the custom size in Page Setup, it now seems to notice the custom size under "Destination Paper Size" again.

Preview 'scale to fit paper size' not working for PDFs

If I have a pdf document that is larger than A4, Preview's 'scale to fit paper size' does not seem to do anything. Even the actual preview of the pages in the print dialog doesn't change when toggling the 'scale to fit' option.
Strangely, my pdf e-invoice from the Apple Store for my new MacBook Pro was larger than standard A4 size, and I couldn't get Preview to scale it.
This isn't a printer issue, as I have the same problem on 2 completely different printers. Also, Adobe Reader has no problem scaling the pdf. I even generated a pdf from Inkscape that was larger than A4, and Preview couldn't scale it to fit on A4, but Adobe Reader could.
Can anyone else replicate this problem?

I have found the answer to my problem. For some reason, the print dialog box I see through 'File>Print' is different to the print dialog when I click the Print icon on the toolbar (which I added to Preview's toolbar and was using whenever I wanted to print).
The dialog you get when clicking the Print icon is missing the 'Preview' option in the drop-down menu, which is where the 'Scale each page to fit paper' is.
It seems crazy to me that using Print icon on the toolbar has this option missing. But at least it's working now!

How can I print a full frame photo from iPhoto 11? Even though I click on scale to fit paper size, it crops both ends of the photo in landscape set up. I have an Epson R1800 with the latest drivers.

How to resize to fit paper size? I have Envy 7640 printer.

I accidentally was able to resize a photo the other day to fit the paper. Now when I want to do it, I can't figure out how to do it. I have a Mac. Thank you in advance.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are wondering how to resize to fit paper size, with your HP Envy 7640 on a Mac. I am happy to help! What version of the Mac Operating System are you using? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos. What is the name of the program you are printing from? In the meantime, please see this article, OS X Mountain Lion: Scale a document to fit your printer’s paper, as I am sure the settings are universal between Mac OS X Operating Systems. Hope this works! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

Selected print size will not fit current paper size

I am new to iPhoto and I keep getting the following message when I try to print at home - "selected print size will not fit current paper size" - I don't understand this. I am printing to 4x6 photo paper. I have chose 4x6 under paper and I have chosen 4x6 under print. It seems to want to fit the photo horizontally instead of vertically - I can work around this by choosing to print 3x5 onto 4x6 paper, but then the border is quite large.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for any help regarding this issue.

Does your printer driver support 4x6 borderless printing?
You have to make sure your printer has a borderless driver ( the Epsons have two, a regular and one with Borderless-sheet feeder in the title and both must be installed and selectable under the Printer menu. If it's a Canon then you must be sure you select 4x6 borderless under the Paper size. Here's a step by step workflow you can try:
Steps for printing 4 x 6 prints from iPhoto:
crop the photo to 4 x 6 in iPhoto.
select the picture you want to print and type Command-P.
*click on the Advanced button in iPhoto's print pane.
*select your Printer and Presets
*select "Paper Handling" in the Copies & Pages menu.
*in the Destination Paper Size section select "Scale to fit paper size: and select the paper size in the menu.
*click on the Standard button.
in the iPhoto print pane select your printer, Presets and Paper size.
select Standard Prints under Style.
select print size in the Size menu and check the "One photo per page: checkbox.
click on the Print button
*These steps may be redundant but might correct those situations where the paper size selected in the iPhoto print pane does not seem to take.

How do I get OS X to ask printer for custom paper size

I am printing postcards. These are 1/4 of a letter sheet, or 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall.
I have a commercial grade HP Laserjet 4350, and I've configured that size in its custom menu for tray 1 (the envelope feeder tray). The printer is happy.
I've also set a custom paper size in the MacOS, that I've called "Postcard Quarterpage" and I have that selected in the print dialog. In fact I made it default.
However, under Paper Handling, it says "Destination paper size: Suggested paper: US Letter" and this is greyed out. If I check "Scale to fit paper size" which I Do Not Want, then I can pick a variety of sizes. However my custom size is not in the list.
This happens on all applications, so it is definitely OS X Mountain Lion (latest patch).
Anyway, the upshot is MacOS requests US LETTER size from the printer, so the printer goes "Take this postcard stock out and gimme US LETTER". The printer can detect paper sizes. If I try to give it postcards anyway, it blows an error and won't print, which is what it should do.
How do I get OS X to tell the printer "Gimme 5.5x4.25" like I've instructed it?

Hi there Wolf!
I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
Note that in that article, it states:
Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
Printer and scanner software available for download
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Setting postcard as custom paper size in Page Setup

I am once again in trouble with paper sizes and printing. I want to print standard postcards (13.9 cm wide, 8.8 cm high). I opened a word processor, went to File -> Page Setup, set the printer to Stylus Photo R340; then -> paper size -> manage custom sizes. I set the width and height, set the margins to the printer's ones and named the size 'Postcard (landscape)'.
When I wanted to print a card, I went to Paper Handling -> Scale to fit paper size, I chose 'Postcard (landscape)', un-checked 'Scale down only' and printed. What happened? The card went straight through and my text was printed on the rollers after the card had gone. In other words the printer ignored the postcard paper size and printed as if I had put an A4 or other letter-sized sheet in. What am I doing wrong? This happens with various word-processors.
eMac G4, 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R340
eMac G4, 1.25 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I now have some further detailed information, which makes it all seem even more bizarre. I have now carefully tried three word processors, and I have also tried some slightly different paper size specifications:
WORD: 13.88 x 8.80 works. Size appears under 'Paper handling'.
APPLEWORKS and MELLEL: 13.88 x 8.80 does not work; size does not appear under 'Paper handling' — 'Scale to fit' has to be used, but does not do anything.
ALL THREE: 13.90 x 8.90 works. Size appears under 'Paper handling'. 14.00 x 9.00 also works correctly in all three WPs.
I should be really interested in an explanation, if anyone could supply one.

Pdf paper size incorrect

I receive my fax's electronically and when I get a legal size (8.5x14) fax Acrobat Reader 9 detects the paper size as letter size. Needless to say this causes my fax to be shrunk when I print. When I look at the properties of the fax it shows the paper size to be 8.64x13.6. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get it to read correctly? My system is windows xp service pack 3 and I am using Adobe Reader ver. 9.0.0. I am printing to a Kyocera KM-C4035E colour printer, but have tried multiple printers (ie HP, Canon) with the same result. The issue seems to be how Reader detects the paper size of the document.
I can go into the print setup and select legal, but this is a real pain, as I then have to switch back when I want to print a letter size document.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think this may help. I had a different problem, but similar.
There is a setting in the OS X print dialog box (under Copies & Pages) called "Paper Handling". By default it is set to "Scale to fit paper size: Letter" This has taken me weeks to figure out. We were trying to print large format (30" x 42") PDFs and they were alway coming out 8.5 x 11. I hope this helps you out.

Distorted PDF paper size with Qt5

Hi,
after updating qpdfview in AUR to 0.4.5-2, files are displayed with an all-wrong paper size. Here's what should show my timetable in qpdfview. I also installed texmaker-qt5 with similar results, leading me to believe that the problem lies with poppler-qt5 - error messages were not shown anywhere. Qpdfview 0.4.4-2 (which used qt4) displays the files without problems. Can anybody confirm this?
Thanks in advance

Problems with custom paper sizes in Lightroom

Running Mac OS-X 10.9.3 (Mavericks). using an Epson Stylus Pro 3880, latest driver installed as confirmed by Epson tech support this morning. using Lightroom 5.4.
I only see this problem in Lightroom - not in Photoshop - which leads me to conclude that the problem is not an Epson-driver problem.
The problem is the following:
In the Print Module, I click on 'page Setup' bottom left. I define my custom paper size under 'Paper Size' -> 'Manage Custom Sizes'. Click OK.
I then enter 'Print Settings...' bottom left adjacent to the 'Page Setup' button. Select my printer, click on the 'Layout' drop-down list box button and select the 3rd tab in the list: 'Paper Handling'. Here is the problem: the 'Destination Paper Size' option is grayed out and unelectable, and incorrectly shows 'US Letter', which cannot be changed. If I click on 'Scale to fit paper size', and try to make a print to my custom paper that way, it still does not work: it only prints on a fraction of the whole paper.
I have also tried Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Printers & Scanners to change the default paper size there, but it makes no difference - it still incorrectly shows as 'US Letter' in Lightroom.
This problem does not occur in Photoshop: In Photoshop, if you go to File -> Print in the menu, and then hit the 'Print Settings' button near the top, my custom paper size is selectable in the 'Paper Size' list box. So it is a problem which is specific to Lightroom.
Any help appreciated. I have spent most of the day on the phone to Epson and Adobe Tech Support, and no-one has been able to dove the problem
Thanks,

I have had the same problem, and with the same result; Adobe Tech Support can't help or fix, after 15 hours on phone, Level 2 support. It is a software bug Adobe has, and can't seem to fix. I just upgraded to Lightroom CC, and my problem migrated with the upgrade. I print in Photoshop fine.
If you found an answer, I would appreciate knowing how to do it!
Thanks

Frame size doesn't match

I'm working on an animated project...doing the animation in Flash and then doing various effects and editing in Premiere Pro CS3. I've been rendering my scenes out of flash as PNG sequences, and then bringing them into Premiere...and so far it seems to be working well for picture quality and what not, but I just noticed something weird. I'm rendering frames from Flash with 1280x720 resolution...and in Premiere I'm working with a project size of 1280x720, so it should be a perfect fit, right? But it doesn't seem to be. If I render an image sequence from Premiere, the dimensions are fine, but if I render a video file it stretches the picture out horizontally for some reason, and also crops the left and right edges. I also noticed that in Premiere if I choose 'scale to fit frame size' in the timeline than the image shrinks a bit and leaves a very narrow letterbox at the top and bottom...this solves the cropping issue when I export but the image is still inexplicable stretched...not to mention that if the clip size has the exact same dimensions as the frame size, 'scale to fit frame size' really shouldn't do anything at all.
Anybody know what's going on here? At the moment it doesn't have a big impact on my project but when I finish and want to render out watchable video it's gonna be a problem, so I might as well figure it out now before I go any further.
thanks in advance

Ya, all my footage is the same size, I actually made a template file that I open and resave whenever I start a new scene so that all my settings would
be consistant...and my project settings match my export settings. The monitor in Premiere shows it cropped as well, but it doesn't get stretched until I export it...and then like I said if I export a targa sequence or something it's not stretched or cropped.
I'm not sure what you mean by par, thought.

What controls whether embedded images scale to email window size?

When I create a new Mail.app msg and insert or drag/drop an image inline, it visually scales to fit the size of my msg window, which is about 60% of my screen width. (I'm not talking about altering the physical size of the image)
However, when I look at the msg from the sent folder or from a copy sent to myself, it appears fullsize, and this causes the msg text to now have a line length equal to the width of the embedded image. So now I have to scroll sideways to read the msg/view the image, or open the note to the size of the image, which I don't want to do. I want the computer to adapt to me, not the other way around.
I'm pretty sure that this used to function as I desire. To further rub it in, I got a msg from a relative today, sent from his peecee using DarkSideSoftware, and those images scale to my msg size. What's the deal?
iMac G5 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

hi, in prefs, Composing: Message Format: Rich Text
The only contextual menu choices are Download Image and Copy Image. However, if I check an image that scales properly in the email I mentioned, the resulting menu includes:
Open Attachment
Open With
Save Attachment
Save to Downloads Folder
View as Icon
I also notice that 1 sec after hovering over the image in the "good" note, I get a popup for a few seconds indicating the image name, status, mime-type but hovering over the image in the other note produces no result.
I thought it might have something to do with send/recv via .mac (imap) VS the "good" note came via another of my pop accts, but testing shows the same results.
For grins, I blew the dust off Entourage 2004 and let it go get about 200 mail msgs, and the "good" note acts exactly the same, that is the images all scale to window size. The last note I sent via Mail with a 1920x1200 img and downloaded into Entourage displays inline --> smaller <-- than the note window size... It appears Entourage in general wants to scale to 50% of whatever the window size is moved to.
Ok, I took the "good" note which was scaling correctly and used Mail.app to fwd it to my .mac acct and when I download it with Mail.app the images no longer scale, but now show fullsize. Same note functions as before/correctly in Entourage.

JAva Printing (Paper Size)

Hello
I've got a big problem when printing some labels to a printer from java.
The label printer is a Toshiba Tec B-SV4
I need to print some labels to the printer. The labels have a 4 by 4 inch size.
The first thing I do is select the printer:
        PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
        try {
            printerJob.setPrintService(services[selectedService]);
        } catch (PrinterException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }Then I pass some attributes:
PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        MediaSizeName mediaSizeName = MediaSize.findMedia(4,4,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
        System.out.println(mediaSizeName.toString());
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(mediaSizeName);
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0, 0, 288, 288,MediaPrintableArea.INCH));I also set the page format:
        PageFormat pf = new PageFormat();//pj.defaultPage();
         Paper p = new Paper();
         p.setSize(288,288); // about 4in x 4in
         p.setImageableArea(0,0,288,288);
         pf.setPaper(p);
        printerJob.setPrintable(this,pf);
        printerJob.setPrintable(this,printerJob.pageDialog(pf));The problem comes when printing.
If I show the native print dialog to the user (WindowS), the correct paper size for the label is not selected.
Instead, if I show the cross-platform printDialog, the correct paper size doesn't appear in the options, the options shoud be "User, 2 x 4, 4 x 4, 4 x 6", instead, you just can select between "2 x 4 and 4 x 6".
In the native version, all options appear
Any suggestions?
ThanlYou

I was wrong when I typed the code into the forum, the actual code shoul look like follows:
        PrintRequestAttributeSet printRequestAttributeSet = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
        MediaSizeName mediaSizeName = MediaSize.findMedia(4,4,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
        printRequestAttributeSet.add(mediaSizeName);I solved the problem (not the best solution but functional) installing some generic drivers from:
http://www.nicelabel.com/downloads/drivers/tec.php
maybe this can help someone with the same problem.
The fact is I would like a better solution rather than using 3rd party drivers.
Thanks for your anwser Franck.

Booklet .pdf with crop marks, booklet doesn't fit the current paper size warning

Hello. I am on XP using CS4 InDesign.
I have the document set up as 4 pages, each 8.5 x 11, however, when creating a booklet .pdf, I mean it to be 2 pages 11x17.
When I add in the crop marks they do not appear on the .pdf when it is created. I receive a warning in the booklet diaglog that the booklet doesn't fit the current paper size and it says to specify a larger paper size.
What can I do to have the crop marks on my file? I understand the .pdf will be a little larger than 11x17 in order to fit the crop marks.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thank you. I did try that first, but now I figured out what I did wrong. When the .pdf was made and opened, I cropoped the page according to the marks, but the page remained 12 x 18 instead of 11x17. I made sure that the "automatically adjust to fit marks and bleeds" and "use document bleed settings" was checked in the booklet dialog and print InDesign dialog.
When I cropped the page again to make sure I sized it correctly, it was 11x17.
Thank you!!!
