Writing an A4 document to A4 pdf

Each time I try writing my A4 document to A4 pdf, I end up with Letter (8.5" x 11").
When I click ctrl + P, I choose Printer Properties and in the Adobe PDF Settings tab of the ADobe PDF Document Properties window, I am choosing A4 under Adobe PDF Page Size. However, the PDF keeps on coming out Letter (8.5" x 11") rather than A4.
How can I print to A4 size?

Didn't know if you were on PC or Mac so was trying to cover all bases.
Is the Original Document saved in A4 Fomat?
Can you upload Document somewhere is can be shared DropBox, Sugar Sync, Google Drive, SkyDrive?
Maybe I can figure out what going on.
Is The printer ypu use set to Default printer in Page Setup.
Okay here is the Procedure.
Open word
Create document
Go to Page Set-up Select you print if not selected.
Next on size button select A4
Then click on it and choose either A4 or A4 Borderless
Quit out of Page setup.
Now open Printer .
Now in Copies click button and choose Paper handling
Now checkthe Box scale to fit Paper size, and choose A4
Now click on Preset and mouse down to Save Preset as Word-A4
Now Print Document > PDF > adobe PDF.
When completed Open Pdf in Acrobat
Change document scale 100%
In Bottom right corner you should see the A4 size in inch equivalent.
when finished in word be sure to Reset Page setup to 8-1/2 by 11 > letter size in page setup before before starting new document. And set Printer back to Default.

When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been. How do I do this without the document changing?

I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.
Peter
ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

If you already have a PDF document, ExportPDF can help you with this task. https://www.acrobat.com/exportpdf/en/convert-pdf-to-word.html
On the other hand, if you have a physical document, you'll need to scan it into a PDF document first.
Depending on what you need to do you may require different tools & services, so please help us out with more details.

Just use Drop Box instead.

How do I convert an AppleWorks document to a PDF file?

How do I save the document as a PDF file? Whether it's the entire or a selected part of it. I did it a while ago and forgot.
Yes, I have tried the Appleworks help but didn't find it. It's gotta be simple.

You use the Print dialog to save as a PDF. Essentially, it prints to a file. Set up to print as usual & then, in the lower left of the dialog box click the Save as PDF button.

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site

How do I convert a word document into a pdf and then upload it to a web site so people can read it from my
site with Dreamweaver 4?. How can I do this? Can anyone please help? I'm only a newbie. Thanking you in anticipation.

First you need to install a means of printing to pdf from word. I like cutepdf writer ( http://cutepdf.com/Products/CutePDF/writer.asp ). Once installed you will print the doc in word and under the printer selection you choose pdf.
Once you have the file you put it in your local site folders and upload it using Dreamweaver. Be sure to link to it from a page so users can get to it and I would recommend giving the link a target of _black so it will open in a new window (see the properties inspector in DW).

The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

Is it possible to save my pages documents as editable PDF's?

I start a new semester (college) in two weeks. I was wondering this partly because one of my professors (from last semester) had a lot of trouble sending pages documents to people who have PC's.
How do I save a pages document as a PDF and not as a ".doc"?
Thanks!

Microsoft Word was introduced for Macintosh in 1984. The file format of Microsoft Word is application-dependent, that is, both the author and the audience must acquire the selfsame application in order to see shared files. This is true also of Aldus PageMaker (introduced 1985), QuarkXPress (introduced 1987) and any of a very, very long list of file formats specific to one and only one application.
It became clear to all concerned in 1989-1990 that problems would be produced by interchange of digital documents, if there were no conversion from application-dependent archival file formats into application-independent archival file formats. It also became clear to all concerned that there would be two kinds of application-independent archival file formats.
When laser imaging was introduced, developers of laser imaging systems for photographic preparation of the printing surface introduced preparatory-phase page markup languages which are content-oriented and production-phase page description languages which are appearance-oriented. Initially, both were tied to the make and model of laser imaging system.
Page markup languages for a make and model of laser imaging system (essentially the command syntax for the laser imagesetter) meant that if you coded/tagged for one make and model of laser imagesetter, you could not repurpose what you had coded/tagged for another make and model of laser imagesetter. Clearly, this was uneconomical.
This realisation led to SGML Standard Generalised Markup Language under the governance of the International Standards Organisation. SGML is not perfect, among other things it can let you have what are essentially private characters and if porous memory serves it can let you have several coded character sets simultaneously which is undesirable in a content-oriented format.
The same sort of problem was posed by page description languages the first of which was the command syntax for the raster image processor that ran the Monotype Lasercomp introduced in 1976. Page description languages introduce an x-y coordinate design space that is mapped onto an x-y coordinate user space which is the address space of the raster image processor.
Page descriptions that depended on the command syntax for a make and model of laser imagesetter posed problems for portability and page description languages under corporate governance clustered around the companies in the United States that targetted the market for graphic information processing commonly called desktop publishing.
Hewlett-Packard Printer Command Language was introduced into this market in May 1984 when the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet made it to market, driving a wedge between the IBM Personal Computer and the IBM line of non-impact printers. Xerox Interpress made it from the laboratory into the market with the initial documentation of the model in 1985.
Adobe PostScript and Xerox Interpress are along almost all dimensions the same model, developed by some of the same people. Adobe PostScript made it to market through a contract entered into in late 1984 between CEO Steven Jobs of Apple Computer, CEO Dr Wolfgang K u m m e r of Linotype, and CEO Dr John Warnock of Adobe Systems.
Adobe PostScript and Xerox Interpress both support multiple coded character sets simultaneously, although Xerox Interpress favours XCCS Xerox Coded Character Set which is the conceptual precursor of Unicode. Xerox Interpress in addition has a default metric coordinate system and strict page-independent structure that Adobe PostScript does not have.
At the Seybold Conference on Computer Publishing in September 1989, Dr John Warnock stated that the aim was to be able to send a page description around the world. In order to do this, first, the page-dependent structuring of Adobe PostScript had to be converted into a page-indendent structuring principle suited for drawing pages in any order on the digital graphic display.
But neither Adobe PostScript nor Xerox Interpress, being appearance-oriented page descriptions, had a strong concept of a standard coded character set that structured the imaging process. Adobe PostScript is in fact a strategy to overcome drawing on a digital device with small coded character sets containing incompatible constituencies of character codes.
The Adobe PostScript rasteriser deals with glyph names and not with character codes and some sort of solution had to be sought so that source character information could be synthesised in converting page-dependent PostScript into the page-independent page description model of what in June 1993 was introduced as Portable Document Format version 1.0.
This solution is to try to use font-independent glyph identifiers as glyph names so that the conversion from Adobe PostScript to Adobe Portable Document Format carries forward a clue about the source character information. There is no concept in PDF of page text, as if the source character information were contained in the page description.
This is the core of the commercial conflict between Adobe Systems which is trying to preserve its market share for the Adobe Portable Document Format, and to introduce Adobe PDFXML as a more serviceable and more sustainable solution for computerised full phrase cataloguing, and on the other hand Microsoft XPS XML Paper Specification which does indeed have a concept of page text for computerised full phrase cataloguing.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

How to combine three PDF documents into one PDF document ?

Hi Folks,
I have a requirement to combine 3 PDF documents into One PDF document, let me explain clearly.
I have developed two Adobe forms in T.code SFP and I have one PDF docuement which is stored in DMS (T.code CV02n), and now I want to combine these three PDF documents into one pdf.
I have tried below link, but only 50% can able to do my requirement.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/404e4dc1-a79c-2d10-a7b5-9a266dfed9cb?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
Is there any best solution to fix this.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

Hi Lukas,
Thanks for your response on this.
Krisztian's solution will work/merge only for Adobe forms created in T.code SFP but can't merge with the pdf document which is sitting in CV02N (This doesn't have Adobe form name in T.code SFP), this is what I understood.
And one more bad news is we are not able to install that unix file in our client system, it is not compatable.
Best Regards,
Naresh Kumar.

HT4641 Unable to share Pages document as a PDF document in email.

I am having difficulty exporting documents created in Pages as PDFs. I have a New iPad. Latestest iOS installed 5.1.1. I ReInstalled the app and restarted my iPad. I have emailed myself PDFs from Pages many times. Installing the iOS update (5.1.1) was around the same time I started having the problem.
Has anyone else had this problem?
When I 'email the PDF' it shows up as an image in the email instead of an attachment. I, also, cannot 'Open In...'

Hello,
Thank you for taking an interest in the issue I have been having with sending myself a PDF from a Pages-created document. The problem started when I went to send myself an PDF from Pages and in the email I received, I was unable to tap-hold to get the option to 'Open In...', 'View in iBooks', or 'Quick View'. A tap-hold was giving me the option to 'Save Image' or 'Copy'.
This is a list of the steps I am taking to remedy/isolate the issue:
1) Re-install the app
2) Re-start the iPad
3) 'Soft Reset' of iPad in Settings by erasing all data and documents
4) Restoring my iPad from the iCloud
5) 'Hard Reset' of iPad using iTunes return to factory settings
6) Reinstalled only Pages on my iPad (problem changed to 'Quick View' option with hold-tap). **Note, the PDFs sent to my iPhone started behaving as normal and as expected.
**Note, after installing iBooks on my factory-bare iPad I was able to get the expected options when I did a hold-tap.
7) Currently, I am in the process of re-installing applications one at time. I will be following up with sending myself test PDF file attachments. Perhaps, I will be able to identify a 'buggy' application that is in conflict with Pages--perhaps, the the problem is 'solved'.
I can forward the email to you that has the corrupt PDF attachment, and I can email you the Pages document. I suspect I can also send you the document as a PDF as I had hoped to send myself several days ago.
I am not sure where the best place to send the requested documents. Is <[email protected]> the best place?

How to add/change Job Options when saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF using Acrobat 9

If you are logged on as a domain user you could have a problem if you want to add or edit .joboption files in Distiller 9 when it is opened by FrameMaker.
After installing Acrobat 9 the action of saving a FrameMaker document as a PDF automatically starts Distiller 9 which then uses the "Job Options" files that are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings. Unless some changes have been made to the "Security" settings of the "Adobe" folder and the "Adobe PDF" folder under "All Users" it will not be possible to add or edit ".joboption" files in the "Settings" folder located in that "Adobe PDF" folder.
This can be confusing because when Distiller 9 is started separately, from Programs, it then uses the job options located in your own user folder (C:\Documents and Settings\NLPW\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF\Settings). In your own user folder (in my case: NLPW) you can add or edit the job option files.
In order to be able to add or edit job option files under "All Users" you must be included in the "All Users" list and have the appropriate "Permissions" security setting. To set this, right click on the "Adobe" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe) and select "Properties", then click on the "Security" tab and add yourself to the list. Finally, (important) check the "Full Control" box under "Allow" in the permissions field. Repeat this procedure on the "Adobe PDF" folder (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe PDF). Now you have the ability to add or edit ".joboption" files located in the "Settings" folder and these will be available when Distiller is started by FrameMaker.

Thank you so much for that tip. I don’t have exactly the same set-up (FrameMaker 8, Acrobat 8 Professional), but changing the permissions as you describe fixed the problem of not being able to save or change Distiller job options which has been bothering me for a while.

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

Printing a PDF document to virtual PDF printer converts text to image in output PDF-file

When I "print" any regular PDF document to a PDF virtual printer, it always converts a source regular (textual) PDF document into an image only document. It applies even to pure plain text documents (say, HTML source code etc.)
(I often need to create a PDF document from the existing PDF. Yes, I know, it might seems quite pointless, but actually it makes sense.)
Thus I have 2 questions:
1) Is such sonvertion normal or I do anything wrong myself?
2) It is by design, is there any woraround to prevent conveting text to image?
Many thanks in advance!

Have you checked to see if the "Print As Image" option is inadvertently checked? In the Print dialog, click the Advanced button then look for the checkbox.

Why is the footer blurry when I convert my document to a PDF?

When I am viewing my document in Pages (using the Club newsletter template) my logo in the footer looks fine.
However, when I convert the document to a PDF and then view it as a PDF, the footer looks blurry, as though there are two of them.
I've tried deleting and repasting and using a different format for the logo (e.g., jpg, png), and nothing seems to work. Could it be a sizing issue? (obviously I have to shrink my logo quite a bit to get it to fit into the footer....)
Help appreciated!
Thanks!

In your version of Pages, I went into layout mode, selected the footer, and enlarged it enough to cram a 180 dpi 1024x768 image into a thumb-sized image. In the Wrap Inspector, I selected make background objects selectable, and enabled in background. I turned off Object causes wrap.
I then chose Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master, and exported to PDF Best. At 400% enlargement in Preview, the image and footer looked normally sharp.
Here is a screen grab of that PDF footer image at 400%.
