Spliting a PDF so it prints on multiple A4 pages

I am trying to print a one page PDF with the dimensons 517,9 x 717,9 mm. What I want to do is to print it on A4 sheet without scaling. So basically cutting the page into a number x of A4 pages that fit togehter. However all I achive is printing the top left page and that is it. I know there must be a really easy solution, but somehow it has eluded my now for some hours!
Computer: Mac Pro Jan 2008
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.7
Programme: Adobe Acrobat Reader 9.1.1 German
Printer: HP Color LaserJet 2840 connected as network printer via Time capsule
Would anybody know what I should do? Thanks for your help!

This is the iTunes forum and so not the best place to ask your question. You'll have a better chance of getting a quick and accurate answer if you ask in the iPhoto forum.
Regards.

File pdf-reference.pdf doesn't print properly - only cover page

When I try to print the standard pdf reference from the Acrobat 8.0 SDK samples in all.sln in Visual Studio, only the cover page prints. Further, the sample javascript object program only says there is one page. The file consists of the cover page, and four embedded pdf files, totaling 1500 + pages. How do you make the samples print out the cover page, and then extract and print the embedded parts of the file?
C:\TEMP
CoverSheet.pdf
PDF Reference.pdf
PDF Errata.pdf
PDF Addendum.pdf
The java object sample should say "this file has 4 sub-files and totals 1500 pages", etc.
What is the problem here?

I don't know if there is a sample showing you how to do this - but it's pretty easy.
Look at the documentation for the Data Object in the SDK JavaScript docs.

PDF won't print beyond a certain page.

I have sent a 52 page pdf to a client created in Adobe InDesign. They have tried printing it, and it won't print beyond page 23, on multiple printers. I am able to print all pages at home, so I don't know if the problem is somewhere in the pdf's setup, or the clients printers. Has anyone run into this issue before? Thank you for any suggestions.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Please report back with your report.

I have a macbook pro using version 10.7.4 and I can't print multiple size pages in a pdf file using the brother laser printer hl-5470 dwt

I have a Macbook Pro using the 10.7.4 version. I recently bought a Brother HL-5470DWT Laser Printer. I can't seem to tell the printer to print multiple size pages in my pdf files.
No matter what I do it still prints all the documents as 8.5x11! It isn't pulling the paper from both printer trays.
Please Please help me out....

How do I print only the first page of multiple PDF documents?

I have about 1,500 PDF files (scientific papers) that I need to print only the first page of... Any suggestions on how to do this as a single job or as a few jobs? The files are organized in a bunch of different folders, so if there was some way to do this folder by folder, that would be ok too. Thanks!

Make sure that in System Preferences Printing & Fax pane you set the default printer to the one you want to use, then put all of these PDF files into their own folder, then open terminal and type the following (without hitting return afterward):
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1"
Then drag one of the PDF files into the terminal window (it will add it's path to the end of your command) and replace the file name with *.pdf, so it will look like this:
lpr -o page-ranges="1-1" /Users/todd/Documents/My\ Folder/*.pdf
Then hit return.

Printing multiple dashboard pages into one pdf

Hey guys,
I know this is not offered as standard but I was wondering if there was any way to do this.
Two methods i'm wondering about are:
- Create another page with a javascript "print" button which grabs information from each page and prints to one pdf.
- Create another page that holds a static copy of all analysis' in the other pages.
The reasons I need to do this is that we originally had 30 analysis' running on 1 page which was destroying performance and killing our servers.
To rectify this, i have split the report out over numerous pages but the users still want to only print once.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Adam

Hi,
Ok your condition is very tricky.
Just Try this if this works.
Create many sections in the dashbaord like say 4. Divide you reports into 4 sections and place it in each section.
Use condition in each Section. Have an extra filter in your main dashboard. having pages 1,2,3,4 as selections.
conditions should be used as : if user seletcs 'page 1' in promt then only 1 section should be visible. after Section 1 is exucuted and printed , if user selcts 'Page 2' then 2 secions wll be visible.
here user can select one by one to reduce the load on the server.
fibally if you select 'Page 4' all the reports will be visible togther. now you can print to PDF.
Mark if helps.

Multiple master pages, But only first master page is printed or is shown in pdf preview.

Hi,
I have 8 master pages in my adobe form, But when I see the PDF preview or print only the first master page is shown or printed. Can anyone please tell me how to print or pdf preview all the master pages. The contents in the master pages are different.
Thanks in advance.

Master pages are used a background for body pages (similar to a background image).
You should put all your contents on separate body pages instead master pages.

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border?

How can I print a pdf in the actual size with a page border? (2 pages per sheet preferred)
I usually print pdfs of books at a copy shop and they turn out fine.
The problem comes when I try to print the same books at home.
I use Adobe Acrobat X with the same settings: "multiple pages per sheet" (2x1) and page border. But the pages are slightly shrunken when printed. I think this is because my printer can't print as closely to the margins. Still, two pages should be able to fit on one sheet in actual size. Are there any layout settings that I can play with to find a better fit, besides portrait and landscape?
If I select page scaling "none," I'm able to print the pdf in actual size, one page per sheet. But there's no option to add a page border.

I have a test with some questions (multiple choice, FIB, matching, etc). I have just one button to submit all the answers, and after submiting the student can see his score and review the test to know where he failed. He can't answer again. However, he can change the answer multiple times before submiting.
"if i turn on success/failure captions the student will see them while answering" - before submitting
"if i turn them off he wont know what's the right answer" - after submitting
My results page is the default. I didn't use any variable. When i go to the results page after reviewing the test all the entry boxes are "wrong".

PDF portfolio cannot print all pdfs

Hi,
[system: win xp, acrobat 9.3.1]
I cannot make acrobat print all pdfs in a portfolio. The user wants to be able to select multiple pdfs in the list in the portfolio and print - and I would expect Acrobat to be able to do that, but cannot make it work.
To test this issue i produced to pdf in acrobat. Use create new from blank page. no#1 is 1 page no#2 is 2 pages.
In acrobat click combine to single pdf > portfolio. I save my new pdf portfolio to the filesystem.
I open the portfolio and select both pdfs and click print icon. I only see 'All' in print range and NOT 'All pdf files' as other users explain they do
(for example in this post: http://prsync.com/adobe/batch-printing-pdfs-and-other-files-using-acrobat--19267/)
Hope someone knows whats missing and how to solve it??.

Did you follow the instructions on the website you gave in your post? In particular:
You don't have to print all the PDFs in the portfolio. If you click the List View button, you can then CTRL-Click to select just the files you want to print. Then, choose File> Print and Acrobat will only print the selected files

Changing the pdf profile of batch create multiple files in Acrobat?

Is it possible to load another pdf profile for batch create multiple files from Acrobat? I am batching indesign pages and I need to use a high resolution pdf profile with printer marks
The default seems to be low res rgb. Any idea if this can be done?

it is a custom Pdf Profile but basically an X1a with a few tweeks, When I try a watch folder with distiller it just errors out all the files.
Batch Processing using the "Create PDF, Batch Create Multiple Files " in Acrobat works but does not let me choose a pdf profile.

Blank page sent to my printer..Print Preview shows my page as a .pdf (On Mac OS 10.5.8)

A blank page is sent to the printer. When I view the text page in Print Preview, the page is blank and it is a .pdf. The print feature works fine with other browsers. This suddenly occurred. One minute I was able to print...the next minute blank pages print. I have tried two different printers and both experience the same problem on Firefox. The plug-ins are up to date.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Slow down a bit and think this through.
CUPS on linux is nearly identical to CUPS on OS X - but there is no Mac-to-Mac Apple proprietary print sharing. Rather, on linux you are sharing the printer using standard printing protocols. Just like on the Mac (when using the standard protocols like Windows/SMB or IP printing), linux print queues expect postscript input. Try using a generic postscript driver from the mac.
And when you add the printer via Windows Printing or IP > LPD or IPP, you will need to know the queue name for that printer from the linux box. (one computer with one IP address can have multiple printers - so what's the additional address info to print to your desired printer? - queue name.)

PDF prints 1/6 of page 6 times instead of whole page.

I am trying to print a PDF document, it prints 1/6 of each page 6 times instead of each whole page. Have tried 'Print as Image' (is already ticked), and multiple pages is not on. Using Adobe Reader 11.0.09 with Mac OS X v10.9.5. Can anyone advise please?

Hi suzbat,
Are you still facing this issue?
Have you tried to check with different document? It seems to me it might be a document related issue.

Annoying Print Issue - "Multiple files are bound...."

Anyone know how to disable the extra page that prints with PDF packages that's titled "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF package"?
Basically, when I print out the documents that are packaged, this page prints out first - and it's very annoying...
I am using Acrobat 8 Pro, so, it can't be a version issue.. also does this printing from Acrobat Reader 9...
Thanks for any help in this.

I found something that seems to address the issue we were having.
"In Acrobat v8, you can choose to create a PDF Package that allows you to choose whether to use a default cover sheet or use the first PDF file (in it's entirety) as the cover sheet. In Acrobat v9, it no longer appears to be an option to choose a cover sheet - the default cover sheet is ALWAYS part of the portfolio."
I have Adobe 8 Pro and have tried it and it worked like a charm for me.
The steps I followed are were: File> Combine Files> Add Files (select all files to be added to the PDF Package)> Next> select Assemble Files into a PDF Package (be sure the document you want as the "cover page" is the 1st one listed, if not, "Move Up")> Select Cover Sheet (in the lower right of the window) select "Use First Document"> Create> Save.
After following these steps, you will find the Cover Sheet is the 1st part of your PDF Package and the rest will be listed to the left. When you Print All Documents, you will no longer get the "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package" cover sheet beforehand.

PDFs won't print all pages; spool disappears in printer

I've got the latest and greatest of acrobat pro on mac os x 10.5.7. I'm printing a 2 MB PDF, that's 28 pages. For the life of me... I can't get it (or any document) to print more than 4 pages. I've tried printing from multiple computers, rebooting machines, the job will disappear out of the print monitor spool. The Printer I have is Konica Minolta 5550 connected via ethernet... I wasn't sure if this was related to Acrobat or the Printer, so I decided to print a 10 page indesign document... printed flawlessly...

Met with IT. tried to install a native driver (as opposed to a generic postscript). Same problem. There's a solution that sits outside of Acrobat... Mac OS X "Prevew", prints the doc flawlessly. I'm not sure what else to do. I've even tried some advanced settings to print as image, where it takes a long time to flatten each page, then print.. no pages will print. I'm inclined to say it's a memory issue between the Mac and this printer, but perplexed because there is no issue with "Preview"...
