Sharing Page Sizes Throughout the Company

Hello,
I would like to implement a more efficient way of setting up page sizes for new employees here at my firm. We don't use the standard page sizes because they are in portrait orientation. For example, instead of using ARCH B for 12"x18", we use a custom page size called "18in x 12in" that is 18" x 12" (landscape). We plot using AutoCAD.
Currently, we have to manually setup every new employee with the page sizes. In most cases, this never gets done and then they come asking how to get a new size. Is there a way to avoid all of this. Perhaps by making a copy of the file that stores these page sizes on the local hard drive and saving it to the server? I can't figure out which file has this information, let alone where it is located. There has to be a way of doing this. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

My screen shot is from AA9, and I have seen that the UI for AAX is vastly different, but...
Choose Paper Source from Page Size should be the "one-touch" solution your looking for.
In my test, my Konica-Minolta Bizhub failed to detect the proper paper trays, but Acrobat correctly spooled the pages.

How can I export from Excel to pdf using Acrobat Std to achieve uniform page size throughout the whole pdf document?

After exporting the whole workbook to a single pdf file, page sizes are inconsistent. When viewing the document in full screen, some pages show up as 25% zoomed, others as 34%. I could re-print the exported pdf file to pdf in Acrobat Std, and that way I could get the same page size throughout the document, but then I loose my bookmarks, which I don't want.
I have already set the page size to A4 in Excel, but that's not where my problem lies. any help, hint is appreciated.

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

What is the Exact Size of the Company Logo?

Hi DBA's
Can anybody tell me What is the Exact Size of the Company Logo for my login page of the Ebussiness Suit R12.1.1.
Best Regards,

Do you mean Exact size in dimensions(width/height) or size of the picture?
For the size there is no max limit on the image but better to take the lightest image size in jpg, gif or png formats.
And for the dimensions there is no limit.

How to set the page size and the margins programatically

Hello,
I am working with crystal report XI Release2 and asp.net.
One of my report is having 4 graphs in a single report.In order to display all the graphs in one page i have set the paper size as A3.(Via Crysta report ->File->Page set up)
But the page size A3 is not provided by all printers.So problem comes when the application is diployed on a machine which does not support A3 Printer.All the graphs will not be shown on a single page.
Also Each and Every time ,when the application is diployed on a machine,user has to open the crystal report and adjust the page size accordingly to get all the reports on a single page.
This is a kind of usability issue also.
Is it possible to set the page size and the margins programatically say for eg 11 X 17.so that with out doing anything all the 4 graphs will get displayed on a single page ?
Please let me know if you require more information regarding this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ludek,
i could solve the issue by using the follwing code.
report = new ReportDocument();
PageMargins customPageMargin = report.PrintOptions.PageMargins;
report.PrintOptions.PaperOrientation = PaperOrientation.Portrait;
report.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.Paper10x14;
customPageMargin.rightMargin = 1;
customPageMargin.topMargin = 0;
customPageMargin.bottomMargin = 0;
report.PrintOptions.ApplyPageMargins(customPageMargin);
Thanks for you help.

smitha.

Need to reduce the page size, not the file size (shrink the page to allow for binding)

I need to reduce the image size (text is too large to allow for binding).

What is the output device - it is best to set scaling there, or scale while printing from Acrobat. The only means to accomplish
I need to reduce the image size (text is too large to allow for binding).
Print to Adobe PDF printer.
Define a page size in the Properties of the PDF Printer
Print from Acrobat to PDF Printer with scaling in effect.

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?

Different Page Sizes within the same document - Printing

I am having trouble printing a document which contains pages of different sizes (using Adobe Professional 7.0):
i.e. The first 10 pages are 8.5" x 11", the next few pages are 11" x 17" and the last few pages are 8.5" x 11"
The printer only spits everything out as 8.5" x 11" and the larger sheets are just cut off.
In the "Print" menu that comes up when you hit FILE->PRINT it suggests that everything is alright... I can scroll through the small "page preview" and it shows some pages 8.5x11 and some pages 11x17... but when it actually prints, it doesn't do that. Is it the printer that is the problem perhaps?
(The printer is a Lexmark x945e)
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

If the goal is to make a flap, then you can do this in InDesign. A spread can be any contiguous number of pages, so if your document is generally speaking double-page spreads, you can have a single spread that is composed of three contiguous pages.
To do this, in the Pages palette, select a double-page spread you want to expand. Go to the flyout menu and deselect "Allow selected spread to shuffle." Then drag new page to the left of the left page or to the right of the right page (depending on where your flap is).
Then you're all set.
Here's a screenshot of the Pages panel:
In this case, I've created a flap to the right of page 3 (numbered page a) and its reverse to the left of page 4 (numbered page b).

Different Page sizes in the same Framemaker Document

Is there any way in Framemaker to create different page sizes ( say A4 & A3) simultaneously, either as body pages or master pages, in a long, multi-page document ? The long pages (A3 size) will be folded and tucked inside to fit the width of the A4 size page. Is there something obvious that I am missing ?

Ian,
Whether the printer adjusts to different page sizes automatically is a function of the printer, not Frame. A number of printers that have feeds for different size sheets will automatically adjust for you, provided you select "automatic" for your page size preference.
If the PDF is for print, then I wouldn't worry about it either -- set the file up to print with crop marks and print it on your larger sheet size.
If the PDF is for online customer viewing, I'd probably do the same thing but without crop marks and either:
* Use Acrobat to crop the small pages out of the larger page size. Although you can add different size pages here and there as required, that's more fiddly and time consuming than cropping sets of pages in batch mode.
or
* let the reader use their copy of Acrobat Reader to set the magnification setting -- the default setting is "automatic."

When I combine PDFs I get different page sizes in the new PDF. Why?

I used the Combine PDF feature today and found that the final version of two originals, combined, had different page sizes when viewed in Adobe. How do I fix this issue? Does it have to do with DPI resolution on scan?

This will happen if the PDFs you are combining have different page sizes. You can check this by hovering the mouse in the bottom left of the screen, at least in Acrobat.

Changing the document page size after the fact.

Does anyone know of a way to change the page size globally after the fact?
I have sent a 200 page book created with Pages '08 to my printer. The work has a full bleed watermark in the background on a custom 7" X 11" document. I've just been informed that he needs to increase the paper size to 7.25 X 11.25 and have me increase the watermark so it can be trimmed down.
Is there a way to change all 200 pages or do I need to set-up a new document and do a whole lot of cut and paste?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Your problem is that the change is not proportional.
However it is not a great change, 6.66% at most. If you don't mind a subtle change in height vs width, just create a pdf of the entire document and tell the printer to change the size on going to plate.
Alternatively you can simply scale it up the 6.66% which will make the height about 0.5" too high and trim away the excess.
The other way is only scale it up 2.27% which gives you the right height but leaves you with 0.1" less width.
Or you can go in between and have a compromise for both directions by scaling up 4.4%.
It depends if you have white margins in either direction that can take up the slack and also how much bleed you have on the watermark. You only need 1/8" to cover any trimming errors.
As this appears to be quite a long book and would need to be imposed up in signatures, I would imagine the printer must have the necessary imposition software to allow for creep etc, which should also allow for non-symmetrical scaling.
Don't you Americans ever feel at moments like these that you wish you weren't the last people in the world to not use metrics and rational paper sizes?

Can I have different page sizes in the same Pages document?

I am doing an e-zine and since it will be delivered in PDF format Pages page layout features will make it easy....except in some cases I want 2 page spreads and to show that way so I'd want that page to be 17x11 and the rest to be 8.5x11...is there a way to have just that page 17x11 within a document? Or is my only hope to make a separate document at 17x11 and use preview to do the final assembly of the PDFs. Which is a pain because I cant use auto page numbering from pages.

Yes. Pages only allows one size/orientation per document.

Just have a blank where your wide spread is going, with the widespread numbered accordingly and then swap them in the assembled .pdf

How can I change the default page size for the Adobe PDF Printer?

Hello All,
I have cases where I need to switch the default paper size from 8.5x11 to 11x17 via api for the Adobe PDF Printer and have not been able to find how this can be accomplished.
I am using C# .Net and would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance,
Bob

There is no Acrobat API for this, but so far as I know there doesn't need to be. The user can go change this from the Printers Control panel as needed. The Adobe PDF printer has some differences from regular printer drivers, but this isn't one of them.

Picture in title page repeats throughout the slideshow

When I preview my slideshow it runs fine. However the burned copy repeats the title page in between every picture in the slideshow. Is there something in the settings that would cause this? I made a DVD prior to this one and it works fine.
