Trouble printing converted document - no "Shink Oversized Pages" option in Word

Hi gurus
I have a document which was originally created in Word, apparently to print as A2. I now have it in PDF format only. It prints fine in A4 size due to the selection Shink Oversized Pages defaulting on in Adobe Reader.
Of course, I need to edit the document, so I converted it to Word. I now have problems printing, as there is apparently no such equivalent option and I have to either resize everything (not feasible - it would be quicker to create the document from scratch) or save back to PDF then print from PDF rather than Word.
There must be an easier way? Can't the PDF conversion/export software be set to A4?
Thanks
Lynton

If the conversion software exported as A4, Word would reflow the layout in the same way it would when you do Page Setup in Word - the layout would be utterly destroyed. What ExportPDF won't do is shrink as it exports to A4. (Perhaps a useful option, but certainly not what everyone would want or need).
You could always reconvert your Word back to PDF for printing.

Printing a document from firefox web page or Microsoft Word doc ument used to work just fine. All of a sudden I was unable to print a Word document. I can still print a web page. Any suggestions?

I have a document from Microsoft Word that will not print. It's as if the printer is not connected when I attempt with the Word document. I have gone in and deleted any pending documents in Microsoft Word. I have restarted computer, as well as the printer. The printer does not seem to be connecting or responding to the Word program (cannot find spooler) Any suggestions?

I have a problem similar to those posted here, with one difference. With my printers newly installed, regardless of which one is selected as the default, when I try to print from Adobe Reader I receive the error message we're talking about : "Before you can perform a print related task...."
Here's the fun part.
If I click OK on the message, ALL MY PRINTERS GET DELETED and, I get the windows message that "Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close"! If instead of clicking OK I switch to Task Manager and end Adobe, I'm fine and can print from other programs.
I can "reset" the problem by deleting the files in C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers and C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86, restarting the machine, and deleting then reinstalling the printers (which show up again after the restart).
BUT, if I try to print from Adobe Reader again, I get the same cycle of problems.
I am running Windows Vista and Adobe Reader 8.1

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

Thank you so much - so simple! I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options. I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it. Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
Thanks again

Staples was not able to print my document created in mac "Pages." How do I convert it to a publisher file?

The Staples store was unable to print my document flyer that I created in mac "Pages" that I saved on my flash drive. They said they couldn't convert it from mac and to go back and "save as" "publisher file." However, when I click file, save as does not come up as an option. How can I get my flyer printed?
Thanks,
sl

On your Mac select print the document. Once in print pane select Save as PDF. The PDF they will recognize.

HT5364 I installed OX X Moutain Lion and now I have trouble printing pdf documents--get messages like "plug in failed" or "no pages selected on printer" when clearly pages are selected

DO NOT USE PREVIEW TO FILL OUT PDF FORMS, IT WILL DESTROY PDF FILES. Sorry, but I had to shout here to prevent damage to your PDF files.
Here is one of the symptoms when you fill out a PDF form with Preview: If you save it and return it to the author, they will not be able to see the text that you've added to form fields - unless they click on a field, which will reveal the contents of just that field. You can recover from this problem, but Preview will also remove other field types, and will actually rewrite your complete PDF while ignoring what it does not understand. Take a look at this blog post for more information about the damage that Preview will cause: Preview.app - Killer of PDF Files

How to Print Html Document (more than one page)

How do I print my document on iMac tom pages

I am using pages to type a long document, and I want to print out each page in turn. I go ,on to File, but the instruction to print is only in light print, and does not activate the printer, can anyone help? Ray

Well, that was the short answer, then I rethought your question.
Will the “other computers,” be Mac, or a mixture of Mac, Windows PC, and possibly Linux?
What application on the other computers will be accessing the Pages content created on your MacBook Pro?
Using the File export options I originally mentioned, you could save the files to iCloud. Then on the other computer, you use the web browser to sign into your iCloud account. When you click the iWork icon, the files that you saved from your MBP will be there. You can then right-click on the file you want and a download option exists.

How can I get Print to PDF to accept oversized page sizes?

To level set, my platform is Mac OSX 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I sometimes create banners and such that are designed to be plotted/printed on large format printers. For example, a banner might print to a page that is 12" x 72".
Now, I don't actually own such a printer, the FedEx Kinko's down the street does, hence I don't have a driver installed for it.
I really don't know the "best" tool for creating these drawings. I have tried MS PowerPoint (which can't seem to accept paper wider than 56 inches) and have used NeoOffice Draw, which seems to work ok until it comes to printing time.
When I try to print to PDF, which is what the folks at Kinko's want, the printer systems always asks if I want to rescale the print to fit my 8-1/2 X 11 home printer(s). No, just print it "as-is" is NOT a choice and neither is "Any Printer". I end up having to crawl through setting up odd sized paper under "Any Printer" and somehow, I still don't really understand how, the print to PDF now saves the file sized to print as drawn.
So, I can see a few possible approaches to making this easier.
Install the print driver for the printer at Kinko's. Only, I don't think the installation process will allow that unless the printer is connected.
Develop a dongle that fools the Mac into thinking the printer is attached. Cute idea that could make money if I sold them, but hardly reasonable.
Develop a dummy (virtual?) print driver that can be added without a physical printer having to be present and which opens a window when you "print" to it that allows you to specify the page size and other information with which it will "lie" to the OS and say, "Yes, I am a printer capable of doing this....". (FYI, I am a programmer going on 30 years now.)
So, before I teach myself Objective-C and how to use Xcode, is there a better or known solution? Is there an existing product I can use? Is there a driver development kit for virtual printers? Any chance I could get a C++ kit and not have to learn Objective-C?
Thanks!

Incorrect. Win or Mac, you can install a printer driver w/o the printer being connected.

You're using the wrong tools. PP shouldn't even be in consideration; I don't know about NeoOffice, but I tried its cousin LibreOffice, and it has issues with custom paper sizes; which is not surprising, given what these apps were designed for.
What you need for actual banners (not web page banners) is a vector drawing tool or a DTP app. I'd say Illustrator or InDesign, but Adobe CS is expensive, and, if you're thinking of PowerPoint for this job, you're not ready for it.
You can try Pages; although not quite DTP, it can do the job and it's inexpensive. There are other options, such as Swift Publisher (a DTP app) or Intaglio (a drawing app) -- both are more expensive than Pages, but still affordable; or you can go open source with Scribus (DTP) or InkScape (vector; requires X11). You already know the ups and downs of using open source. (These are just examples; you can find others if you look for them.)
Although it's better to have Kinko's printer driver, to make sure of the correct options, you don't actually need it to print to PDF. You should be able to define a custom page size (eg, 12in × 72in) and create the PDF from it. Any app which uses the Mac OS X standard print function should be able to do it.

Trouble printing e-mail and web based pages

I have a Envy 4500 all in one. Can't print body of e-mails and some web based pages from myToshiba laptop. It will print fine from my I-Phone using e-print. Do I need to enable a setting somewhere?

Hi
Printing from websites is sometimes tricky. Have you tried using SmartPrint?

Trouble printing HTML document

On http://technet.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/clevenger_jumpstart2.html, there is no 'print' button or print friendly version of this Article. Trying to print this fine Article by Robert Clevenger results in the right margin (and words) being chopped off. If there was a frame that could be printed or if a user could hit an available 'print' button to eliminate the clutter on the left and top-hand sides, that would be a big help.

Printing multiple Payment documents on a single page

Hi All,
I am using a standard Program RFFOD__V to print the payment documents.When I execute the program with the provided variant, the output of this program creates spool request for Payment Advice . When I see the output of the spool request it prints 50 payment documents on 50 pages(One document per page).
The requirement is that the client wants to print 3 documents on a single page hence it will reduce the amount of pages in the printout.
Please suggest how can we do it. The Script attached to this standards program is a customized script.Do I need to copy the standard program and make changes to it or Can I achieve it only by changing the script ?
Can we achieve it thorough customization,if not , then please suggets how can I achieve the desired functionality.
Earliest reply would be appreciated.
Thanks
Manish

That's one of those things that is just easier in some other programs. In ID you have to do your own n-up page.
You can reduce the overhead, though, but making your label 1-up to start and saving that. For the n-up page place the original ID file, then use step and repeat to make a grid of linked-file labels. Now there's only one file you have to worry about updating -- the single instance. The n-up file will ask you to update the link the next time you need to print.
You still need two files for each label, but you only need to work in the second one once.

Indesign CS4- how can I create a document with more 10 pages?

Hi,
I have just begun to practise with Indesign. I want to create a tale with 22 pages. My question is how?
At the moment it's half solved, because I have done 10 sheets and each is 2 pages, but I need 2 more.
When I want to add more pages, alert message advise me that's no possible. The maxium is 10.
Thisaction have donetrough page menu.
Do it exist any trick?
_ other question: edit maestra page:
How is the procedure forediting maestra page? I want to add number page, a headline.
Urgent! It's a delivery extra urgenT!
Thanks a lot

I'm not sure if I understand the way your document is set up currently. It sounds to me like you have created single InDesign pages that each contain a two-page spread for your finished document. This is not a good method for laying out anything longer than will fit on the front and back of a single sheet of paper.
Instead you should be making your InDesign document using the "facing pages" option and setting the page size the same as the folded size of the finished booklet. If you have color that bleeds, add a bleed allowance in the document setup dialog (click the show more options dialog). When your booklet is printed the pages need to be arranged back cover/front cover, inside front/inside back, page last/page 1 and so forth so they appear inthe correct order after binding. This is easily automated if the pages are separate, but if they start out on the same sheet it is up to you to get the order right from the beginning, and it is difficult to do design work in printer's spreads layout. Keeping pages in consecutinive order allows you to design in the same view that your readers will see.
I'm not sure what the error message about the limit of 10 is, but it sounds like you are trying to make a single spread for the whole document. You can have a maximum of 10 pages in a single spread. The question is why do you want so many pages next to each other? Does the document fold out this way? A "normal" book uses many two-page spreads. You can add pages normally by dragging a master page icon into the live page area in the panel, or using the "insert pages" command from the panel menu.
To edit a master page, double-click its name. Add your page number in a text frame by inserting a "current page marker" special character in the frame.

Apple AirPort Express - HP LaserJet M1120 won't print entire document

Hi,
My first post. I've recently purchased Airport Express and installed all necessary programmes (incl. Airport Base Station Agent and Bonjour print service) on my Win 7 Ultimate x64.
The device is set up as "Join a existing network".
Airplay works without any issues, but printing does not.
I've also installed the driver for HP LaserJet M1120 printer.
When I send something to print (regardless of the file), it won't print the entire document. Usually, it prints smaller documents (up to 10 pages) normally, but when it comes to larger documets it prints only half of the document.
I send 30 pages document to print and it prints only 15 pages. Then I need to re-send print command and again, it prints only half - 7 or 8. Printer just stops.
Sometimes i get "Error-printing", but not always.
This issue happens on all 4 PCs that I have at home all running Win 7 Ultimate x64 or Win Vista Home Premium x32.
Any ideas?
HP Print Diagnostic Utility did not find any issues also. Says everything is OK.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at thisiFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

How do I turn off the print receipt option on word 2011 for mac?

My word 2011 has just started printing off a sheet of document details after every document I print. I'm using a macbook and have been unable to find a way to turn this option off. Obviously I clicked something by mistake, but I have no idea what it could
be.

In the Print dialog box in the third drop-down (under Printer and Presets)
- select the Cover Page option and check that "After Document" is not checked
- select the Microsoft Word option, click Word Options... and ensure that nothing is "included with document" such as Document Properties. You can also adjust this setting (bit not the "Cover Page" one) via Word->Preferences-Print
If that does not help, then I suggest you post in http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword where you are likely to find more people who can help with your question -
i.e., it's generally a better place to post questions related to the Mac version of the product.

Trouble Printing Mixed-Sized Pages

I converted a Word document with one 8.5x11 portrtait page and several 11x17 landscape pages using Adobe Acrobat 9. When I print the pdf the 11x17 sheet rotates 180 degrees (prints upside down). This started happening in June (around the time I was upgraded to Adobe 9). My operating system is Windows XP. We have uninstalled the software and reinstalled several times. I have had co-workers trouble-shoot by printing the pdf from Windows 2007 and to various printers, still the same problem. Help.

Hello 1blondeval,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I can only think to select the leagl pages to print and then select the letter pages to print.
But, to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial LaserJet Forums.
The support page for your product may be helpful in the meantime: HP LaserJet 4250 Printer
I hope this helps!
