[SOLVED] gscan2pdf produce pdf too small

Hello,
I have a problem with gscan2pdf 1.2.0. First did somebody already installed it and does it works ? My problem is the following:
when I try to produce a pdf, the size of the pdf is reduced. For example if my scan is tangente.jpg I get the following size:
% identify tangente.jpg
tangente.jpg JPEG 2552x3508 2552x3508+0+0 8-bit sRGB 1.896MB 0.000u
0:00.000
And after OCR and saving as pdf:
% identify test.pdf
test.pdf PDF 241x331 241x331+0+0 16-bit Bilevel Gray 10.3KB 0.000u
0:00.000
But with djvu everything is fine. If I downgrade to 1.1.3 it doesn't help. Something happens during the saving
as pdf, but I can't find what.
Any idea ? Or just tell me if it works for somebody.
Thanks!

Ok, I'll try to be clearer, just tell me after that if you understand my problem. I want to scan a page of a magazin (or book, it doesn't matter).
To do the scan I use xsane and I scan at 300 dpi. My goal is to have a searchable pdf. To get it, I take the scanned document and I open it in gscan2pdf.
With gscan2pdf I perform ocr with tesseract. After that I save my document as pdf.
Now the problem. The document I have scanned is saved in jpg format. If I try to print the jpg, it's the same size as the original document, so it's A4. I
mean here the size of the printed document, not the filesize. After doing an ocr on the jpg and saved as a pdf in gscan2pdf, if I try to print the document, it's
smaller than the original scanned document. I don't know exactly, but I would say smaller than a quarter of A4 (A4/4). So the document doesn't keep the original
size, so A4. There is no problem if I save the document as djvu.
Now if I scan the document with gscan2pdf (at 300 dpi) or simple-scan, do ocr with gscan2pdf and save it as a pdf file and then try to print it, it's the original size A4.
If I do the same with xsane or skanlite, the printed pdf is smaller than A4, so the original size is reduced.
Is it clearer for you ? Do you need more input ?

[SOLVED] xrandr: HDMI output too small or too large to fit screen

I'm trying to connect my PC to the TV with an HDMI cable. But I'm having trouble with xrandr.
xrandr lists 1920x1080 as the largest mode for HDMI and 1280x1024 as number two. So I tried both of these:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1280x1024
But the first is about 1-2cm too large to fit the screen (both at the top and on the sides) and the second one is too small. Is there anything I can do about it?
PS: Also 1920x1080 output is very sluggish and there is video tear when I move windows around. The PC is a ThinkPad X220.

Thanks. I set my TV picture format to "unscaled".
The output is still sluggish. I would have thought an i5-2540M would be able to handle this in a more responsive manner.

Prints pdf too small

I am having the same problem as http://forums.adobe.com/message/3399663 and need to have the print-pdf work, rather than save as pdf. Save as produces a 48mb file, print as (when it works) produces a 4 MB file I can email.
I create a 11x17 poster 300 dpi in Photoshop. Go to print as pdf and it generates an 11x17 document with a thumbnail in the upper left that is the image. On 399663 they recommend a work around (Save as PDF, do not print as PDF) but this generates a 48 MB file. When the print does work (and it is erratic) it produces a perfect 4MB file that I can email that can then be printed by the recipient on a large-paper colour laser printer.
If anyone has any answers as to settings that can fix this, I would appreciate it.
Currently running CS5.12.0.4 x32 on Windows 7 pro

Just got off the phone with Adobe and found a cure.
Open print dialog box.
Go to Set up
the paper size: scroll to top and select defined by driver.
It worked for both the HP 8150 and Xerox Phaser 7700
I'm running CS3 on Mac Intel G5 OS X 10.5.5.

How can I perform the conversion of pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The pdf file is too small for me to read right now. Julyan Watts

How can I perform the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic script to Word files in Cyrillic script. The .pdf file is too small for me to read without a magnifying glass, and the document is more than one thousand pages.

This answer was not helpful. First of all, I could not find "tech specs"
anywhere on the Acrobat 11 homepage. And secondly I purchased this software
for the specific purpose of converting .pdf files to Word. It was only
after I had completed the purchase that I learnt that Acrobat does not
permit the conversion of .pdf files in Cyrillic to Word files in Cyrillic.
I feel that Acrobat should have provided this crucial information before I
allowed my credit card to be debited. That is why I am now asking for my
money back. But thanks for your attempt to solve my problem, even if it was
not successful.

ORA-22835: buffer too small when trying to save pdf file in LONG RAW column

Hi,
I get "ORA-22835: Buffer too small for CLOB to CHAR or BLOB to RAW conversion (real : 125695, maximum : 2000)" when i trying to save a 120k pdf file in an Oracle Long Raw column using dotnet 4.0 and Entity FrameWork.
Dim db As New OracleEntities
Try
Dim myEntity = (From e In db.TEXTE _
Where e.TEXT_ID = txtTextId.Text _
Select e).Single
With myEntity
If txtTextypeId.Text <> "" Then
.TEXTYPE_ID = txtTextypeId.Text
Else
.TEXTYPE_ID = Nothing
End If
.TEXT_NUM = txtTextNum.Text
.TEXT_NAME = txtTextName.Text
.TEXT_DATE = dtTextDate.SelectedDate
If DocAdded Then
.TEXT_DOC = Document
ElseIf DocDeleted Then
.TEXT_DOC = Nothing
End If
End With
db.SaveChanges()
Document is an array of Byte and TEXT_DOC also (mapped to a long row column).
is it possible to increase the size of the buffer ? how may i do it ?
Thx in advance.
Regards.

Using a custom UPDATE or INSERT stored procedure for LONG RAW column with
exceed-limit data may still get the following error.
"ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested".
One option is to use BLOB instead of LONG RAW in your table and regenerate your
data model from the table. Then using the default UPDATE or INSERT statement
(created by EF) should work.
The following will modify your LONG RAW column to BLOB column.
Disclaimers:
1. It's irreversible--you cannot modify BLOB back to LONG RAW.
2. I have not tried that when there are huge data in LONG RAW column.
So be careful.
alter table <your_table_name> modify <your_long_raw_type_column> blob;

Font in Photoshop PDF help is too small

Font in Photoshop PDF help is too small.
http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/photoshop_reference.pdf
How can i ask photoshop developers to increase it?
How can i increase it before print?

It's standard 11pt type for the most part, so I don's see how it could be too small. Simply use the zoom options in Acrobat/ Adobe Reader, if you have difficulty reading it. There is no way to actually increase the font size and have the document reflow.

Some text in pdf is too small

We received a pdf file that has been scanned from image files. The document is 23 x 30 inches. When I print to letter size paper most of the text is fine however some of the text is too small to read. Is there a way to make the text size larger for these few sentences?

Select it with the touchup text tool, right click, choose"properties>text".

Size of text is too small for pdf when printed

When I finished filling in the pdf - the text is too small when I printed out the form.

Flex PDF Printing too small need 8 1/2 x 11

I am using Adobe Flex with IBI's WebFOCUS Enable. Once I export my SWT file to Adobe Flex in PDF format works fine on the screen until I print. Printing on 8 1/2 x 11 paper shows up in the lower left hand bottom about 4 times too small. I heard it has to fit Adobe flex pallet or be shrunk. Is there some conversion software to remedy this? Please adivse. Joe

Quick look at the "save as" feature has a list a mile long, including vector, autocad, xml, and more. Personally, I haven't used the program beyond playing with it and researching to discover it cannot do dates with the time period I need (though I imagine there might be a way to manually create the dates).
I've found Timeline Maker, and it looks like it can do what I need without a large learning curve. However, I would very much like to learn how to work most effectively in InDesign (rather than spread my learning across several programs). I do have a subscription to Lynda.com, and I have worked through a few tutorials, but I didn't apply what I learned immediately thereafter...and it seems I've forgotten much of what I learned!
If you have any recommendations for a novice working with InDesign CS5 who is trying to make a print book with maps, timelines, and perhaps an ebook with animations, I'd be grateful.
Presently, I'm setting up files to correspond with my outline. (Trying to manage chaos.) Any input in that regard would be appreciated. Since I'm working alone, I don't have the benefit of seeing any "industry standards".)
Thanks again,

Pdf's converted to epub in image mode are too small to read on ipad2

I have tried all of the free to sample converters out there. Many allow you to convert a pdf which has multiple columns, pictures, tables, etc. in image (or picture) mode in order to preserve the original formatting. Unfortunately, when viewed in iBooks, each page has a (minimum) 1 inch white margin around it, rendering the page illegible. Is there a way around this or am I stuck with importing the documents as pdf's? I would certainly like to use ePub, especially for the cover art, if at all possible. Thanks.
Ron

Yes I am finding that out. The original format is MS Publisher 2007... which doesn't convert to much of anything (except pdf). When I say (in my original post) that the ePub file is illegible, it is formatted correctly but much too small to read (occupies less than 50% of iPad2 screen) even when double tapped. And of course page turning is not available in this mode. At this point I am not sure if this is a conversion issue or an iBooks issue, but I'm starting to lean toward the latter. Thanks for the reply.

[SOLVED] Java Font Too Small in OpenBox

I usually use Cinnamon, but decided to give OpenBox a whirl again. I am encountering a problem with OpenBox and the size of fonts in Java apps. I'm using the Oracle JDK, not OpenJDK.
These first screenshots show the font on OpenBox being too small:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob1.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob2.png
As you can see, the fonts used for the controls is super tiny. As can be seen from the second example, the font can be configured in the editing portion through the applications. But the controls themselves remain too small.
When I log into the SAME account, but use Cinnamon, the fonts are fine. Reference:
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob3.png
http://www.dadburn.com/linuxscreenshots … tprob4.png
So the only difference in these screenshots are the fonts. And the only difference is that I am using Cinnamon vs OpenBox. I;ve searched Google and the Wiki and the Forums, but I'm either not using the proper search terms or just overlooking the results. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Also, I am using the fontconfig-infinality stuff. I don't think that matters and again, Cinnamon works and OpenBox has too small a font. And the problem is only on Java apps, not other things.
Thanks in advance.

I've done more digging. I have this in my /etc/profile:
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.systemlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel -Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Well, this screws up gdx-setup (the first screenshot). If I only use
export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.aatext=true -Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on'
Then gdx-setup looks fine. Netbeans was still messed up either way. I did find that it seems Netbeans has issues with the GTK+ look and feel on non-GTK platforms. So I reverted NetBeans to the (ugly) Metal theme and now the fonts are bigger.
So I am marking this as solved. It seems that the GTK+ look and feel is just not happy on non-GTK+ platforms. I guess that makes sense in a way.

(Solved) Openbox font too small

I've removed gnome and installed openbox, and now my fonts are too small. My firefox webpage fonts are fine, tint2 fonts are ok as well. But I think some leftover gnome setting is affecting it. I deleted .gnome2, but it's not working. What should I do?
EDIT: Fixed! Didn't think of Xorg at first

[SOLVED] Partition (/root too small)

I have a 7gig partition for my /root ...unfortunately this seems too small... Are there any safe / easy ways to beef that partition up..(say to 15gig) without going through the whole install processa gain.....I have plenty of free space on my main partition....hopefully I can borrow some room from that...

Ehm, do you mean your root-Partition with the mount-point "/" or the home-directory of the user "root" with the mount-point "/root"? If it's the second one I'd reccommend to you not to save this much data in your root-account. If it's the first one, Gparted is your choice. Don't forget to backup before and take your time, resizing partitions can be very slow.
Edit: Oh I see that your problem is solved now, so my post is obsolete now...

PDF Documents too small

When I go to a PDF Document there is only 2 sizes to read. They are very small and it doesn't fit to screen like a regular iBook bookstore book does. Is there a way to fix this. What is the use of having something if it is too small to read it?

I am getting the same issues and have tried setting this in BIP Admin - I wasn't sure what the units were so tried 300 and 4000 - neither seemed to make any difference though. Is there anything else I can try - my report view seems to be stuck showing PDFs in a 8.27 * 11.69 inch area which looks poor as the report page is half hidden.
