Scaling sprite for printing doesn't scale content

Need help with this one!
I have a Flash docutment that is 950 x 650. I want to add a
"print" button that will automatically scale it to fit uncropped on
an 8.5" x 11" page (Landscape).
Problem is, although the sprite DOES scale to fit the page,
the content doesn't scale but rather just ends up being cropped.
It's like my sprite is a window looking through to my image. I
change the size of the window but the image behind it remains the
same size.
Here's the code:
Thanks!
Phalconheart

I have found that I needed to add each sprite and textfield
individually. I actually just created new instances of each element
to add to my page sprite. ie.
if stage has a square object and a circle objects:
var square:Square = new Square();
square.scaleX = .8;
square.scaleY = .8;
var circle:Circle = new Circle();
circle.scaleX = .8;
circle.scaleY = .8;
printSprite.addChild(square);
printSprite.addChild(circle);
.... yada yada
myPrintJob.addPage(printSprite, etc etc

  • Scaling Content For Print - Panicking..

    hello all,
    i have been trying to sort out my eBook for print. as a self-taught user and total novice to printing procedures and requirements, i have made a fatal error of putting a lot of my content ouside the inner purple margins of the pages. ie. they use all of the page..
    here is a screenshot of a corner of one of the pages:
    as you can see, the page numbers and text in the corner is at the extremeties of the page..
    i have been told by the printing company that i will either need to scale all of the content to fit inside the purple borders, or alternatively add 3mm of bleed on to all of my documents. i do not know how to do either!
    they said the recommended size would be 216mm x 154mm, but i am completely lost here and in a panic as my deadline is approaching.
    any help anybody can give is appreciated..!!!!!
    thank you in advance
    best,
    owen

    The purple margin guides are just that, guides, and there is absolutley nothing sacred about them, nor is there any requirement that content remain inside them. You se them for your convenience and to control the size of automatically generated text frames, and in many, if not most, documents they would be well beyond 3 mm from the edge to allow for  content not to disappear into the binding and to give readers som sapce to hold the page.
    What's important here is what you want and expect to happen in that corner. Your printer is telling you that they don't guarantee to trim exactly to the theoretical page edge (a common warning). Most digital print devices are not as accurate as a press at getting perfect page-to-page regisitration, so when a stack is cut some content will be closer and some further from any given edge as you move through the stack. Even pages printed on a press can have some variation, and if the cutter operator is sloppy or debris has built up, the cut may not be where it is supposed to be. There is also the problem of non-printing areas along the edges of a sheet that are used either to move the paper along or to prevent ink from getting past the edge and gumming up the equipment.
    In this case it doesn't sound like the problem is a non-printing area, but rather trimming exactly on the corner. This means that there is a possibility that part of your corner text or page number may be sliced off, or the cut may drift the other way and leave more space than you wanted.
    The page number is pretty easy. Move it away from the edge as far as is practical. The corner text is not so easy since it looks like you really want it right in the corner. Bleed will not solve this. Bleed is when you extend the "artwork" (which simply means any area receiving ink) beyond the trim edge of the page. 3 mm is a fairly standard amount. The purpose of bleed is to prevent a white line showing along an edge after trimming when the ink should extend all the edge. Anything beyond the point where the paper is cut is discarded.
    So a 3 mm bleed will allow the for up to 3mm of misalignment in the cutter, but if the page is shifted 3mm in one direction, the opposite edge is also shifted 3mm in the same direction, so whatever amount is trimmed outside the designed page edge on one side is trimmed away inside the opposite edge. In order to be sure that you don't lose anything important you must hold all content you care about back from the edge at least as much as the bleed allowance, and more is probably a good idea. Similarly, if you expect a white border, it needs to be wide enough to withstand the misalignment.
    In the case of your corner text, trimming off any part of it would be bad, so the only real solution is to alter the design so none of it is closeer than 3mm to the edge (and hold the page number at least 3mm from the edge, as well). If the units on the rulers ar in mm, it looks as if the margins are set to 3mm, so yes, you'd need to move text objects inside the guides. Images could be enlarged to extend off the page by 3mm if you like, or also moved inisde the guides.
    One easy way to accomplish this (moving everything inward) would be to place your current pages in a new document of the correct size and scale them. You can do that using the script you'll find at InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files
    Another option is to find a printer who understands that position of the corner content is critical and can print and trim to the tight tolerance required. That service is likely to cost more.

  • Excel 2013 - disable "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" deploy via group policy

    In office 2010 and 2013, the option "scale content for a4 or 8.5 x11" paper sizes" is enabled by default in word and excel.
    I need to be disable this option on all machines, since it conflicts with our printers and doesn't allow us to print.
    Ideally this should be done by group policy as our users change very frequently.

    Any idea how I can resolve this?

    Create the below given registry key using GPP  for Excel and apply that to the ou or security group to disable or enable the check mark.

    B,
    You may have something disturbing Illy so she gets confused, see Item 7 in 5) below for usual suspects, or you may have what appears to be a preference corruption, see 1) - 4) and 6) below.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Shift or Adjust All Pages/Content for Print

    Is there a way to shift all content in an entire publication by specified amounts, from one central location or command - as a temporary "effect"?
    I work with a document containing a set of labels (@70) that print the variable, b&w text portions of products onto otherwise pre-printed labels (color background images and logos).
    I export the document to PDF for printing the labels, because the production crew that prints the labels on demand doesn't have access to InDesign (nor do I wish to teach them to use InDesign). So I'm actually printing from the PDF, but nevertheless all the content therefore has to be shifted in InDesign.
    When printing, the printer always prints off by @ 1/16" in one or more dimensions. (Changes with the weather, too; or maybe with wear on the printer.) This printer does not have functionality in its driver to shift the page images.
    (Getting a different printer is not an answer. We have to have certain printers because they set the ink hot enough to make it stick to the labels, but are still affordable enough. Besides, every printer ends up having its quirks - even our larger printer that is the exact same as those used by Kinkos for more routine color printing.)
    Given the quirks printers always have, I'd be sorely surprised if InDesign doesn't offer some functionality to easily allow shifting of all content before printing, exporting to PDF, or other purposes; but I can't find any sign of such a feature. This would be a useful feature, Adobe folks (hint, hint ).
    My prior solution for smaller label sets I've created in InDesign, is to create a new layer, copy all content, including those on master pages, and then shift that content, thereby maintaining an exact, true layout for future needs, too. I really don't want to do this for 70 labels, though; plus it'd be nice to not have the worry of potentially creating out-of-sync content between the different layers.
    I see Liquid Layouts, but I don't think that'll accomplish what I need any better. I need the page to stay the same size with the content in a slightly different place on it, not to change sizes. Can Liquid Layouts be made to work anyway? It could at least keep the content synced.

    I tried to dig up some links for  you re: InDesign's excellent support for automation in Javascript, but it seems like recent changes to Adobe help resources have caused link breakage, e.g. what should have been a link to the CS5 Scripting Guide was actually a page about how cool InDesign CS6 is going to be. In Turkish. You don't read Turkish, do you?
    If not, forums regular Jongware has a bunch of really useful Javascript reference material publicly available in a variety of formats.You may want to pay a visit to the InDesign Scripting Forum if you are interested in that kind of thing.

  • SetFileName for print to file doesn't work

    I have a questions about print to file with java.awt:
    With Java 1.4, when I use setFileName in the JobAttributes class, as soon as the user clicks on Print to File, this file name shows.
    However, with Java 1.5, this file name does not show, a different file name shows. The reason why I want my file name to show is that I need a specific extension.
    I do need to use java.awt, I cannot use javax.swing, because for printing to the printer, I need to call my own paint.
    Please help.
    Thanks a lot!

    Well, I am saying:
    JobAttributes jobAttributes = new JobAttributes();
    jobAttributes.setFileName("out.ps");
    But even though this filename worked in Java 1.4 for printing to file, in Java 1.5 and Java 1.6, it doesn't recognize this filename, it always makes it "out.prn".
    Please help!

    The only way to print from an iPad is to have a printer that supports AirPrint. Here's a link to an Apple support page on AirPrint.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    AirPrint is way to print wirelessly via Wi-Fi  but it requires that the printer supports AirPrint. The iPad cannot use Bluetooth to print and it will not print when connected via USB.

  • Lexmark Driver For C540 doesn't Print

    Since OS 8 was released my Lexmark C540 printer doesn't print. I'm using the new driver, 11 and while I can get to the printer home page and print the color sample. After printing the samples then anything in the queue  prints. I can't see myself prining 12 pages of color samples in order to print a 1 page document.

    Thanks for the suggestion to check privileges, but that's the problem--the driver is not present to have any privileges to check. On reboot, there are only links (all owned by root with 777 perm.) at /dev which lead to non-existent directories.
    #/dev> ls -l gpib*

  • Document Settings Scale Content Doesn't Scale Tweens?

    It seems like when you scale a document and select Scale Content it scales the content but not the position data for the tweens? Is there any way to get the tweens to scale too?

    Hi John,
    The "Adjust 3D Perspective Angle to preserve current stage projection" and "Scale content with stage" will take effect when you try to scale the current Stage size. These options will be enabled and available to you once you modify the stage size.
    In Flash CC you can even scale the content along with the satge with respect to a selected anchor.

  • Set custom page size for printing

    I want to set a custom page size for printing some PDF three and four-page musical scores to roll paper on an Epson 1290 using Adobe Reader 9.3.4 on Ubuntu 10.04. The printer properties in the print dialog has a media size option, and one of the choices is "custom", but having chosen "custom", the dialog does not allow me to add the actual page size to the lpr printer command. I can see that when I choose "custom", the lpr command is
    lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom etc
    but what I need for a three page output, for example, is
    lpr -P Stylus-Photo-1290 -o PageSize=Custom.297x630mm etc
    and I can't see how to add the actual custom paper size. If I Ok the media size choice dialog with it just set to PageSize=Custom, I can see from the output preview in the print dialog that the actual page size that has been chosen is letter. The online Adobe doc for Reader 9 printing (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/9.0/content.html#heading2.3) says "For documents that are larger than the standard page size, go to File  > Page Setup.  Create a custom page size before you print your  document". The problem with that is that there is no "Page Setup" option on the File menu in the Unix version of Adobe Reader, only a "Print" option, which is where I already am.
    If I open the PDFs in Evince, it allows me to add the custom page sizes I want, but as Evince doesn't have the option to print multiple pages per sheet I can't use it either...

    Yes, it used to work, and the resize zoom bar used to work too (now its grayed out). I don't know if this is a "who's to blame for it" thing, but its not getting fixed and its pretty bad that no one seems to care enough even to respond. I found my own solution by opening it in Gimp. Just right click and select open with other ...Gimp and it will import into it. In the Gimp Print dialog, you have a scaling percentage in the "Page Setup" tab, and size settings in the "Image settings" plus loads of other stuff including multiple copies.

  • Where did all the setting for printing go in PSE8-Mac?!

    OK, I'm probably missing some obvious settings somewhere, please tell me after you read my rantings...
    I'm using the 'Full Edit' mode, assuming that is important. But the new Print Dialog looks like it has been dumbed down for some one, not sure who, however has it has me completely confused. There are now only three 'steps' for printing. One and two are self explanatory. However...
    Step three concerns paper size, image size and several other details. Just for testing, I created a new 4 x 6 inch, 300dpi page and drew some lines. Command-P. Proper printer is selected, select "Letter" as the paper size. 4 x 6 inch appears selected as the "Print size" (I thought that was because of the original page size, but it appears to simply be the default). That is a detail that could easily be over looked by a new user. If the original image is larger than 4 x 6, it will, obviously be either cropped or reduced to fit those dimensions! It seems to me that the "Select Print Size" should automatically assume to be the image size. OTOH, I can see that some people may want to do all their printing on one size of paper. In that case, why not have a preference for the default and let the user change it when they change paper sizes (if they want)?
    Now, if the user happens to notice that a new 8 x 10 inch image is going to be printed in a 4 x 6 area, she will now decide to check the other settings available in the pop up menu. OK, there IS an 8 x 10 inch choice. But look, what's this "Custom" choice? Let's investigate...Now this is strange! The defaults there seem to be 1.383 inches for height AND width! Who came up with that weird number?!
    Oh, there is a "Scale to Fit Media" check box. Checking that now makes the height and width somewhat closer to reality, they now indicate the pape dimensions. That IS logical, but not extremely helpful, IMHO. By the way, the second time one selects the "Custom" choice, the correct, original image size appeared in the Print size boxes. Although I cannot seem to get those to reappear. Oh well...
    My point is, how do these confusing configurations help? Beyond me, anyway.
    BTW, the dpi settings all seem to be 'computed' at one less than the number set by the user for an image. For example, a new image page created at 300 dpi shows 299 in the Custom dialog, 150 shows 149, etc. Close, but why not exact? Furthermore, why can't the user select any dpi they choose? Isn't that what the computer if for; calculate what happens to the pixels when they print at a different setting than the image? Sure, the user should be warned that terrible images my result, but if that's what the user wants, let it be done! Who's running this show, anyway? Oh yeah, I remember, now...excuse me for asking, I'm only a paying customer, what do I know?!
    Lastly, if one has more than one image open, every single one can easily be printed, accidentally. Why? Because they will all appear in the Print Dialog. Don't you see them? Over there on the left. Yeah, I see them, but why doesn't the image I have in front, the one I'm working on, be the one I probably want to print? Many of the others may simply be images I'm borrowing parts from. Why do the developers think I always want to print every image that might be open? I don't have any idea, either. Sure, there are a couple of ways to prevent this multiple image printing; select the one you don't want to print and use the "minus" button or simply close all those images before going to the Print dialog. Guess what. Using the 'minus' button only works for this printing, the next time you ask to print they will all be there, again. And, what if you aren't really finished using some of those extra images that you closed? Now you get to re-open them all again. Completely unnecessary steps because of poor user considerations/research, in my humble opinion. Again, this is exactly the thing that preferences are made for. Or, put them in the "Edit Guided" mode! Or, better yet, just give me back the old Print dialog! Nice!
    Now, I am extremely glad to see that PSE can now remember to keep that stupid Panel bin out of the way! Finally! Three more inches of screen to work with!!! Hooray!! Unfortunately, it still can't remember what the last setting for the jpeg quality was...still defaults to ZERO! Sure, that's the setting I always want to use, it's so much fun letting people try to guess what is in the image...one would think after 8 iterations this could be fixed. One down, umpteen to go. Oh well, what do you want for $80?

    Thanks for your listening/reading and I'll take your advice about dropping a note to the developers, but I won't be holding by breath! I doubt that they consider this a real problem. It's really just my ranting!
    Your solution is probably the 'fix' they might suggest, anyway. However, I'd rather have the screen space than a list of thumbnails of images I already have open. command-plus and/or minus is a pretty quick way of making it easy to see anything that might be visible. Of course, I'm sure there are other uses for the Project Bin that many find useful. Even though I have a 24" iMac, I rather like using the screen space the way I want, not an arbitrary way that got developed. I just don't see why developers can't program an app to allow every conceivable method of use by every living and future user! LOL!!!
    I guess today was the first time I've printed anything since installing 8. I was, quite confused when presented with the new Print interface. Actually, I thought that must be part of the 'Guided' set up which I assume leads one by the hand as much as possible. "Thank you Adobe, but I'm trying to avoid unnecessary contact with strangers right now." LOL! At least I know I didn't miss some setting somewhere.
    Thanks! Have a great weekend! And don't get scared too much tonight!

  • No Option for Printing Separations in Acrobat 11

    I do not have the option to print separations from Acrobat Pro 11 on OSX Yosemite. I have installed the PPDs and they work in Illustrator and InDesign but do not work in Acrobat.
    First, I am a designer at a screen printing shop and have been printing separations on a daily basis for 3 years. I understand how it works. I was working on a PC with CS 5.5. Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS. EPS was the preferred method since I print the transparencies from Illustrator, and since Illustrator can only open one page of a PDF at a time, I saved the PDF as EPS so that ever spot color got it’s own EPS file. From there, I created a new AI file, put all EPS files on different art boards and printed.
    Now I am on a Mac with Yosemite and CC 2014. I know the PDF workflow changed in Snow Leopard. You now have to print to a PostScript file and Distill, which then gives me the PDF i can open w Acrobat and save to EPS as usual.
    But, I decided to really dig into Acrobat 11 since it has all the Ink Manager and Preflight features. My preferred workflow would be creation in AI, save a PDF, then use all of Acrobats features for the final check and separations. The Acrobat manual says on page 316:
    “Print separations
    1. Choose File > Print, and choose a printer.
    2. Choose an option from the Comments and Forms menu.
    3. Choose print range and page handling options.
    4. Click Advanced.
    5. If you created a custom printer settings file with the appropriate separation settings, choose it from the Settings menu at the top of the
    Advanced Print Setup dialog box.
    6. Select Output on the left, and choose an option from the Color menu:
    Choose Separations if the PPD doesn’t support in-RIP separations.
    12. Click PostScript Options on the left, and select settings as needed. Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click OK again to print the separations.”
    The only option I have in the print dialog is my desktop printer.
    I have installed the PPDs, which brings me to another problem.

    Just to test it out, I placed both files in the

    I also created the PPDs file in the Presets folder of InDesign and can get separations from there as well.
    But, I do not have the PostScript or any other print option from the Acrobat print dialog except for my desktop printer.
    SO,
    1) Is there somewhere else I need to place the PPDs for Acrobat to see it? The manual states I should be able to print the separations from the Print Dialog but its not available.
    2) What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output.
    3) I sometimes print halftone jobs through AccuRip. I have gotten pretty good at manual spot color transparency gradients within illustrator, where I create complex gradients using only a spot color and a gradient with 100% transparency on one end and 0% on the other. But if I have many colors in it, I have to print separations through PotsScript and then Distill it, which flattens all transparency on the separated file. The result is a separation with a placed image gradient with a clipping mask instead of a true vector gradient. I know it has to be flattened when it’s ripped anyway, but I would like for it to ONLY get flattened as it passed through the rip on its way to the transparency, and not during the Distiller separation which then is placed back in AI for printing. Is there any way to do this on a Mac which MUST be printed to PostScript and Distilled?
    Thanks

    “I’ll never give you a job to print.”
    Lead with an insult, good start.
    You know, I read your comment, and the link, right before I went to bed. I thought I would respond then, but thought I should sleep on it. Well I slept on it, and I’m actually MORE p***ed off today than  last night. I will try to keep this as professional as possible…
    “Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
    No S**t (so much for professional). Which is why it’s unfortunate that Apple forced this workflow on people like me.
    I asked SPECIFICALLY about color SEPARATIONS in the title of the post and throughout the post. The link you provided did not provide an answer to this. It explained how terrible “refrying” a PDF can be. And what was the solution it gave?
    “Use EPS and not PostScript!”
    Strange. it seems that is the EXACT workflow I listed! To quote myself;
    “Typical workflow was to design in Illustrator, Print to PDF, open the PDF in Acrobat, save as EPS”
    That was on a PC, where Print to PDF is still an option. The design is made in Illustrator with Spot Colors, all overprints are set, because a human will be lining up the screens to print by hand, and you need about .5 - 1 point of “play” for when the screen moves so abutting colors will not have a gap of shirt color between them. I can then use all of the functionality of the AI print dialog box and print the SEPARATIONS to a PDF file, and the PDF is then split to separate EPS files for easier control.
    Apple in it’s infinite wisdom has taken away this functionality. From AI, my 2 listed printers are my desktop printer and an Adobe PostScript file. Remember, I am SEPARATING the artwork to be printed on vellums that will be used to burn a screen. If I leave my desktop printer active, I can select “Setup”, where i am brought to the system print dialog box, where if I select “Adobe PDF” or “Save as PDF”, I get the message from Illustrator that “The Save as PDF option in the Printer dialog box are not supported”.
    So, if I change the Printer to “Adobe Postscript file”, the “Setup” box is greyed out. If I simple  “Save As” and choose PDF, I do not have the option to SEPARATE colors. Do you see the dilemma now? Apple remove the functionality I have on a PC, so my SEPARATIONS can not be saved directly to a PDF, but MUST me “printed” to a Post Script file, which then MUST be distilled to get a PDF of SEPARATIONS.
    Which brings me back to the whole point of my post.
    ““Such an outdated time consuming workflow !!!”
    Right, which is why I’m trying to avoid it. In reality, the entire process only involves 1 extra step over the PC workflow, and the Distill process literally takes a few seconds. But, I don’t want to Distill for all the reasons listed in the link you provided. And if i follow the advice of the link, saving to EPS, I DO NOT have the option of SEPARATIONS. Which is why I’m trying to save a PDF from AI, the use all the functionality of Acrobat Pro to SEPARATE my colors. Again, the manual to Acrobat says I can print my SEPARATIONS to a file, but I only have the option to print to my desktop printer from the Acrobat Print Dialog box, even though I have DO have other options in AI and InDesign.
    So, great Adobe MVP, can you answer my original questions?
    1- why do I not have the option to print to a file in Acrobat Pro?
    2- What is the difference between the “Acrobat Distiller” file and the “ADPDF9.PPD” files? Different size, different dates, but no obvious difference in output. (Not what I want to use, but on OSX post 10.6, I don’t really have a choice it seems)
    3- Is there any way to print to a SEPARATION file on a Mac without printing to PostScript and then being Distilled?
    I see your skills are:
    “PDF forms, PDF multimedia, eBooks in PDF or in ePub format.
    I'm an InDesign Digital Publishing Suite specialist too. I am also a trainer and the webmaster of abracadabraPDF.net, the only French web site dedicated to PDF and Acrobat.”
    Good for you. Have you EVER had to print separations for a t-shirt? Have you ever had to consider that a person will be physically pushing the ink through a screen, so you must consider the thickness of the ink, how that will interact with the mesh of the screen, which determines the LPI the halftones are printed at, which determines how fine your gradients should be? Because I do it everyday. So your whole “I’ll never give you a job” thing is especially infuriating, and pretty unprofessional.
    So not only have you totally ignored all my questions, you insulted me and given me a link that ALSO answers none of my questions. I am also assuming, though I could be wrong, that you marked your answer as correct int he AcrobatUsers forums. Well guess what? Even with you MVP badge, you are NOT correct. At least not for what I’m asking.
    If I ever need an eBook, PDF form, ePub or Multimedia PDF done, maybe I’ll use you. But, I would never hire you for color separations for t-shirt printing.

    Rolando - We don't need all that information about the data model and such. Can you describe what the application does on the page that gives the error? I mean, you submit the page, it performs some after-submit processes (what do they do and how many processes are there?) and then it has some kind of branch to the same page or another page. Describe the processes, show us the success message for each process, exactly as they are formatted in the process definition page, and describe the branches (to the same page, another page, do they use URL redirects? And also please post the entire URL that you see when the error page is displayed.
    Finally, please provide all the output from the About HTML DB page: Workspace Home -> Click the About HTML DB link under Workspace Administration on the far right side of the page. Then copy all the output and show it here.
