  • Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

    Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
    I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
    Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter.  The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984.  MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer.  Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4.  However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
    I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure).  Its Paper Size was also set to A4.  Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
    On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows.  (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.)  After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document.  This time the result was fine.
    While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper.  Any information or recommendations would be appreciated.  Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition?  And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
    PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising.  Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split.  I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage.  It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

    Thank you, Rebecca.
    The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser.  I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer".  But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
    However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur.  I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install.  If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.

    Solution Manager Enhancement Package 1 issue with SAINT    
    Long Text    
    Hi,
    We are trying to install the SAP Solution Manager Enhancement Package 1
    using SAINT. We have encountered an issue while trying to use the Stack
    Configuration option withing SAINT.
    Issue 1: A message appears saying OCS Package SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS does
    not match current software component vector" . Whats does that mean and
    how do we resolve this issue?
    Issue 2: Ignoring the above message and going forward, we see the
    import condition page where it fails saying BBCPRM component must not
    be installed in this system
    Please check the attahed screen shots for the current Software
    Component levels and the errors.
    Please help to resolve the above issue and explain if we are missing
    anything here.
    Thanks,
    Nag Koppuravuri

    For the errors like ...
    "OCS Package <Package Name> does not match current software component vector" will usually appears when the upgrade is not matching the "MINIMUM support package level"
    Check note 1182336 - Though this note is not for the support package you are applying but the error points to same direction.
    To solve your problem...
    Please check the "Update Guide SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP 1 " available on Market place.
    Go to Service Market place -> Release & Upgrade Info -> Installation and Upgrade Guide
    To your left dropdown SAP Components -> Solution Manager -> Release 7.0 EHP 1 and on the right panel check above document Section "Preparations"
    If you satisfy those conditions I think you should be able to apply EHP1 smoothly.
    Lets us know if anything...

  • Excel 2010 paper size issue with PCL6 drivers after KB2592687 installed on client

    When I connect to the RDS server and open Excel with the PCL6 printer and select File / Print the paper size says Custom Paper Size and I can not change the paper size here, in the Page Layout tab or in the drivers properties pages. Using the PS driver there
    is no issue. I've tried using several stock PCL6 drivers from Windows 7 and have the same issue such as the HP LaserJet P4014/4015 PCL6. Using the Lanier LP131n PCL6 or PS I had the issue with PS as well.
    I do not have the drivers loaded on the server so it is using Remote Desktop Easy Print. If I do load the drivers and allow it to use them then there is no issue but I cannot configure the printers options without taking ownership of the printer so that
    is not desirable.
    If I do not install KB2592687 then there is no issue, but that is not an option as I am dealing with a customer who's IT manager refuses to remove this, even to test it, and says our printer driver has the issue and is not compliant with MS TS. 
    Could I be missing any configuration, hotfix, policy that could explain this issue or any other workaround? Or is there a change required to our printer driver for this?
    Test setup:
    I created a new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server with SP1, Added the RDS Role, Installed Office 2010 Professional with SP1 using the Terminal Services product key. No updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well for
    both Server and Office.
    I then created a new Windows 7 Professional x86 with SP1 client, installed PCL6 & PS printers, installed KB2574819 and KB2592687. No other updates were installed. I have tested installing every possible update as well.

    Hi,
    Did you find any particular Event ID for your issue?
    To troubleshoot this issue, have you tried changing the default printer and printing from other programs such as Word or any other?
    The issue which you are facing might occurs because the Microsoft XPS Document Converter (MXDC) determines the paper size by using the FormID value on the server. As you commented that you are using Easy print driver first you can find incorrect paper size
    if RD Easy Print printer driver first is enabled. 
    To work around this issue, use the forms that are defined by the system when you print. The paper sizes for these forms match on the server and on the client computer. Additionally, a printer driver can rename these forms. Please refer below article for more
    information.
    The client printer may print the documents by using an incorrect paper size if the "Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first" policy is enabled
    Apart from this providing link to understand RD Easy print in Windows 7 & Server 2008 R2.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Package Size parameter in Partner Profile

    Hello guys,
    I'd need your advice. We have 2 systems (SAP and Non-SAP) and we need to connect them by mean of HR-PDC interface (IDoc communication is supported). We can create new Partner Profile in SAP and we can add a few IDoc types as Inbound Parameters of the partner profile. Then it is possible to define maximal package size for several IDoc types. I suppose that the Non-SAP system reads the Partner Profile and the "Package Size" parameter for the particular IDoc type before it sends some IDoc to SAP system. IDoc's size is limited by the parameter.
    And now our problem. We need to insert XI between these 2 systems. XI should only forward IDocs and nothing else. How could I set up limitation of IDoc's size? Do you thing that following scenarion could be working?
    I would define Partner Profile in XI same way as in the previous case in SAP. XI is configured to process IDocs in Integration Server by means of IDoc adapter. My expectation is that the Non-SAP system would read the partner profile in XI (including "Package Size" parameter) and then it would send IDoc to XI. Then XI would process the received IDocs in IDoc adapter.
    How can be "Package Size" parameter useful for inbound IDocs?
    Best Regards,
    Zbynek

  • Image size issues with processing

    New to Adobe, I have had several issues with consumers images. I can not find how to save as jpeg and keep photo intergrity. Either the processer (local pharmacy, big name store.. etc) is cropping my images badly. I have been told this is my problem when I save in jpeg format. How do i protect my image? Resize with the pixels? Please help

    Hi,
    The most likely problem is that your camera is shooting in a different aspect ratio that you are trying to print in. This usually shows up by either cutting the tops/bottoms off or by cutting the sides off. Alternatively you may get a border top/bottom or sides.
    If that is the problem, you will need to crop the photo before getting it printed.
    So that we can help, can you please answer some questions.
    1) What operating system are you using?
    2) What version of PSE are you using?
    3) What are the pixel dimensions of the photo or what camera are you using?
    4) What size of photo are you trying to print (6" x 4"?) ?

  • File size issues with remote workflow

    Hi everyone
    I am currently reviewing InCopy as a tool for our two 24 page full colour quarterly publications and the problem I am currently facing is the design team are claiming the file sizes would be a problem for us to use the remote workflow - how do you guys manage large files over email? Any tips or advise?
    Also, regarding the layout workflow, does it require a large effort from the design team to divide into individual spreads? As this is another issue.
    We currently have a cumbersum process and would like to resolve asap.
    Would greatly appreciate any advise you may be able to offer
    Thanks in advance

    If you are using a remote workflow ... designers are sending off-site editors InCopy Assignment packages (ICAPs) .... then they need to create assignments in order to package them for the remote InCopy user. So there's no need to split up a layout into smaller files or anything.  An assignment is a subset of the INDD file; multiple assignments -- each encompassing different pages or sections -- are created from the same INDD file.
    When the designer creates the assignment, have them turn off "Include original images in packages"; that should keep the file size down.
    Or -- like Bob said -- you can avoid the whole remote workflow/assignment package rigamarole all together by just keeping the file in a project folder in the Dropbox folder on teh designer's local hard drive, and have them share the project folder with the editors. In that workflow, editors open the INDD file on their local computer and check out stories, just as though they were opening them from a networked file server.
    I cover how the InCopy Dropbox workflow works in a tutorial video (within the Remote Workflows chapter) on Lynda.com here:

  • Form Size issue with multiple Digital Signatures

    I have created a form (liveCycle 8) with multiple digital signatures required.  When each user signs the form, that section of the form is locked using collections.  The form is workflow through email after each user signs it.  Each time the user signs and forwards the form, the form's size becomes too large.
    How can the form be optimized to compress each time an users signs the form?
    Thank you,
    Lori

    Steve,
       After your request to post the form, I wanted to removal some company items like the Logo.  Once I removed the Logo, I found the biggest issue was a Logo image size that was making the file so large.  Once I reduced the image size, the signatures only added 46kb at each signature level.
    Thank you for your help,

  • Font size issue with the email functionality of infopath form

    Hi,
    We have a SharePoint list created and customised the form to send the form via email using email functionality in infopath form.
    We have made the font size of the form fields( rich text box) to 11. But it is showing as 10 in email. Also for a text box we set the font size to 14. But it is 13.5 in the email.
    Could anyone please let me know how to fix this issue?

    Yes, this is normal. Forms Services has to convert the form to an aspx page, and things get lost in translation when this gets submitted via email.  My workaround has always been to set static widths to columns/controls, but you said that didn't work
    for you?  It's always worked for me.

  • File size issue with exporting PDF

    We write a newsletter for our daughter's gym and are trying to export a Pages '08 document into a PDF small enough for e-mail. When we export with Best settings the file size is 3.2MB, with Better the file is 4.1MB and with Good the file size is 3.8MB. Why would the lowest quality setting (Good) result in a larger file size than Best?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    That does seem odd the "good" export would be bigger. One thing that causes Pages documents to be so big is the graphics. If you pre-process the images to close to the actual size you'll use it will reduce the size of your Pages document. I prefer using GraphicConverter but you could use any image editor such as Photoshop Elements.
    Also, if you do any image manipulation in Pages, it will greatly increase the file size because Pages keeps all of the images in the document package.
    You can also try the "Reduce File Size" filter in ColorSync in the Print dialog. Click "Copies & Pages" > ColorSync & then Reduce File Size under Filters, Then click the PDF button in the lower left of the Print dialog. I don't find that the Compress PDF choice in the PDF menu saves much, if any.

    I see most packages are of similar/comparable sizes. The difference could be due to version differences, or as Xabre pointed out, due to packaging style. lilypond 2.12.13-7 takes up 11 MB in arch. In ubuntu, the package lilypond is about 4 MB, but it depends on lilypond-data, which is another 7 MB (totaling 11 MB), however there's no such dependency in arch.
    I guess there should be similar reasons behind mplayer (130 MB vs 5 MB) and latex/texlive - (250 MB vs 17 MB).

  • File to IDOC - issue with partner profile

    I have done File to IDOC scenario and tested it end to end successfully. For same have done all require configuration setting in R/3 like defining logical System and partner profile. And it sends new IDOC successfully in R/3 with status code 50 (IDoc added).
    But when I create new logical system and partner profile in R/3 and when I use same logical system in my above mention scenario then my new generate IDOC in R/3 return status code 56 (EDI: Partner profile inbound not available). But same scenario work fine with my earlier partner profile. Here I have done all require changes at adapter level like adapter specific identification and same new logical system I have update in SLD with my business system Logical System Name.

    Hi Bhavesh,
    Thanks for your reply.
    In control record, I checked with sender and receiver partner. In this sender partner is new partner profile which I have created with port details. Receiver partner has logical system name which I have mentioned in my SLD for my receiver business system. But in receiver partner don’t have any port details.
    But still it has same problem.

  • Slide size issues with copy from another project

    Working with Captivate 4.  I have a completed project where I have a slide I would like to re-use in a new project.  The recording options for each project are the same - full screen recording.  The image is being cut off all the way around the when I 'Copy Slide' in Project A and 'Paste Slide' in Project B.
    If the layout size is the same, why is the image being cropped/adjusted in the Paste?  Is there any way to adjust the size of the image when pasting an entire slide into a project?
    Thanks in advance,
    D

    Hi again
    Seems odd. But I may have a workaround. What if instead of copying the slide, you simply insert a Blank slide in the new project? Then you copy the background of the slide from the older one and paste as background into the newer? Results the same then or what?
    Cheers... Rick

  • Auto Size issue with Media Gallery .AS files

    First off, thanks for taking a look!
    I came across this Adobe devnet article the other day while
    looking for info on creating Flash web based image galleries
    here.
    In summary, it's an introduction on modifying the .XML files to
    personalize your galleries created with Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.
    Also in this article, there is a link to download source files
    including gallery templates and a working .FLA file, which is
    really the point of my post.
    So. I've gone through the .AS, Javascript, and .XML files
    looking for variables and parameters for controlling the
    stage/auto/scale of the clip. I've read through each several times
    making adjustments here and there and I've been able to change most
    of what I want, but for the life of me I can not seem to get
    control over the scaling of the clip when the user resizes the
    browser. I have been able to load the clip at a set width and
    height, with a minimum width and height, but again once the user
    pulls the browser out, the entire screen scales with it.
    My ideal goal is to embed a modified version of the .SWF with
    set dimensions into a parent .SWF. On first load everything looks
    great for about half a second - until the .AS files are loaded. At
    this point the size of the gallery .SWF expands to fill the width
    of the host browser. Actually, it expands beyond the browser frame
    but that's neither here nor there. I'll admit the amount of code is
    beyond me, but I can usually pick things apart enough to butcher it
    to into what I need ;P If that can't happen, then I'm perfectly
    happy to stick with the HTML gallery so it's no big deal really.
    I'm just curious to know if any of you have experience with this
    particular file and might suggest a direction?
    I'll keep digging around, but at the moment I think i've
    found about all I can translate or I'm missing something horribly
    obvious. If you've played with this file, I would love some
    insight. If not, and you're looking for a starting point for a
    flash photo gallery, then take a look at the article. The
    supporting files seem a bit heavy, but maybe that's just me. =]
    Thanks again!

  • Size issues with images in photoshop

    I have been creating dress patterns in illustrator and putting them into photoshop to add colour and print. These files have transfered over in the right size, and when I copy and pasted or dragged one of these images in photoshop to a blank A4 page in photoshop to print they still remained the same size untill today. I have tried it so many times and uninstalled an re installed the software but I cant seem to correct the problem. The images when dragged or copied within photoshop pages are so much smaller than they should be. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this??? Im desperate for any help.
