Xoffset and yoffset erase page when adjusting page size?

I'm using CS6 Acrobat X on Windows 7 and I want to adjust the page size of a PDF and move the crop so that it fits in a particular non-centered position for printing.  I'm doing this by using the crop feature in Acrobat.  The problem I'm encountering is that when I try and make any adjustment with the xoffset and yoffset aside from the default it erases everything on the page.  Any suggestions?

Has anyone figured this issue out yet? I used to be able to change the page size (usually increasing the size) and offsetting the placement of the content on the page to allow for a proofing stamp. This worked fine in Version 9, but I have not been able to do it since the upgrade. Lets say I take a half-page 5.5x8.5 and go to the "Set Page Boxes" dialogue box and want this to print out on an 8.5x11 sheet with it offset to the right 2.5in. I change the paper size to Letter then uncheck the center box and then adjust the XOffset to 2.5. The preview shows it moved and when I hit the enter button all of the content disappears and I am left with a blank 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
Thanks

  • Is there a better way to edit and create a Page Size list for InDeisgn CC 2014?

    I have about 65 iMac machines I'm responsible for at a publishing company.  The users need a specific custom Page Size list to display when setting up a new document.  It's a very long list of sizes for various products.  The only way I know how to edit this size list is to open the .xml file in Dreamweaver and edit the code.  I would like to know if there is a better way to do this for InDesign CC 2014.  At the moment I have to take this one file and install individually on all users accounts on all 65 machines.  Here is the path of the file I edit by hand:  Mac HD/Users/(User Account)/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 10.0/en_US/Pages Sizes/New Page Sizes.xml

    There is no special folder for templates. You just put them where it makes sense to you, and you access the same way you would open any existing file.
    The only functional difference between a template (.indt) and document (.indd) file is the default opening behavior. By default templates open as untitled copies and documents open as originals. You can change from one to the other just by changing the file extension.
    The advantage of using a template over a document size preset is the preset only defines a page size. The template can include multiple pages, multiple master pages, styles you want to use, objects already in place, etc. And the use of a template removes the temptation to "recycle" an old issue of a recurring project. Starting each issue fresh from a known clean template reduces the risk of accumulated minor corruption that can eventually cause a fatal problem.

  • Acroread command line issue nUp and a custom page size

    When I use the dialog box with the settings I need - It works fine..
    Using acroread 9.5.5 on a Linux box.
    Does not work in command line with -toPostScript -nUp 6 4 0 -size=1296x1440 -pairs <file_name>.pdf <out_file_name>.ps
    If I choose size=legal or size=tabloid the resulting ps has reduced size pages and does flow correctly but
    I want to use Large Paper 18"x20" and not downsize the original PDF input files.
    Basically placing the images side by side

    Were you ever able to get it to print on large paper?  I'm facing a similar issue.  A pdf with page size 11x17 but when I run it thru acroread it changes the page size to 8.5x11. 

  • Have just reinstalled Acrobat Pro XI and the Fit and shrink to page size options are not working - Any ideas?

    When printing to a laser device my Acrobat Pro XI all of a sudden was not shrinking oversized pages to fit on paper. The Fit and Shrink to page options did not work. Could still output file reduced by using the percentage box but wondered if anyone else has encountered this problem before? Reinstalled Acrobat but problem still there.

    I suddenly have started having this same problem. Anyone have an answer?

  • How to select page size and fit to page size?

    i am reading documentation here and feeling like a total dolt.
    can someone please remind me how i get my spreadsheet to print to my second printer and to get it to print in tray 1 with the 11 x 17 paper and how i get the spreadsheet to scale to fit this page size?
    i can't figure out if i am supposed to select the paper size first in the PRINT dialog but if i do this i can't figure out how to scale it and if i scale it i can't figure out how to get it off of 8 x 11 paper.
    oh the conundrums in mac print dialogs ; )

    hi wayne.
    i think you have a level of expertise with this software that let's you answer a question in a way that i don't understand. either that or perhaps as a new user my questions are not clear to you.
    can you tell me if it is possible to create a SETTING that will let me open a document that is SENT TO ME so that i don't have to run through all these steps just to do what i am asking to do in the title of this post? i mean, i am going to print this explanation out so i can refer to it in the future but i don't want to have to go through all these steps every time someone sends me a document.
    i also don't want to have to ask them to format the document as a pdf at 11 x 17 and 12 x 18 every time they send me something.
    does that question make sense?
    AFAIK your answer is indicating that i can set up a TEMPLATE that will let me /create/ new documents by using this template and what i am asking is if there is a way to print a document to 11 x 17 or to 12 x 18 with PRESETS as i do in Preview....
    can you help?
    THANKS!

  • Website portion of screen flickers up and down if page size is reduced

    I made three connections to Firefox Chat support for this question. All my chat connections with a support person end abruptly (timeout??) without me doing anything.
    I am running Sony VAIO w/Windows XP SP3, everything up to date. I made Foxfire my primary internet application.
    If I open Firefox, other than my homepage, and reduce the screen size so I can see a second application running behind the Firefox page, the reduced Firefox website active page shakes up and down, does not go black. Only the reduced page website section shakes, not the Foxfire toolbar section and the Foxfire chat page did not shake during the chat.
    I am running Firefox add-on extensions Java Console 6.0.16 - 6.0.22, Java Quick Starter 1.0, and Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1
    Could this be something related to refresh rate?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Image Capture and Preview: bad PDF page size

    When scanning to a PDF document with Image Capture, the resulting PDF always has an enormous page size. For example, a 3"x3" image scanned at 300dpi will appear as a 12.5"x12.5" page in the PDF. Scanning at 72dpi will create the appropriate size page, but the file is (of course) unsuitable for printing due to the low resolution. It's as if Image Capture (or the PDF creation routine) assumes the image is 72dpi even if it was scanned higher than that.
    Similar behavior can be seen in the Preview app. Use the following steps to reproduce:
    1. Open a decent quality image from a digital camera.
    2. Choose Tools Menu -> Adjust Size...
    3. Be sure both "Scale proportionally" and "Resample image" are selected.
    4. Change the Resolution to 300 pixels/inch, change the Width to 3 inches and click OK.
    5. Choose File Menu -> Save As...
    6. Change the format to PDF, choose a location and file name to your liking, and click Save
    7. Open the new document in Preview and check the page size (Tools Menu -> Inspector)
    Inexplicably, the page size is now 12.5 inches wide. I understand what it's doing, but I don't know why. The math is simple. Take the 3x3 inch example above: 3in * 300ppi = 900px / 72ppi = 12.5in
    I feel it's very bad form for the software to assume you always work in "screen resolution" (72dpi). The PDFs the software makes is next to useless for archival purposes because of the incorrect size markings.
    Anyone know of an alternative application to scan to PDF docs? The scanner's TWAIN software is not an option because it's PPC and won't run under Rosetta. How about an application that creates PDF documents from image files (besides Acrobat)? Best would be a way to fix the behavior or Apple's software.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem long ago. Apple is not doing anything to fix this problem

  • Change page size and get error on Booklet. Why?! Only in CS6...

    Why when we are working with a material of many pages, and all pages have the same measure, and alter the size of each page (in File -> Document Setup), we can no longer generate booklets? I was tested in version CS5 and it worked perfectly in version CS6 gives error:
    "The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet Print works only with documents That use consistent page size."
    I've checked all pages and it all have identical size between them.
    Take a test.
    Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will function properly. After this, go to File -> Size and change the page size of the pages. Now try to create a booklet. Will give error.
    I tested in a couple of macs...

    Well I am having this exact issue.
    I have seen many posts in other areas of this discussion and online elsewhere. As it goes, Adobe is going to get sued for this.
    I paid for a working feature of the software in CS6. Simply releasing a new version and forcing the user to pay for a fix to a problem in an old version is not lawful business. It's extorsion. They did not uphold their end of the bargain on the contract of me paying for a working product.
    The owness is on them now to fix the bugs in the current versions of broken software.

  • Problems retaining page size when converting MS WORD 2007 doc to PDF

    I am having a problem converting Word documents that are not standard page size to a PDF. When I do the conversion, the PDF is resized to 8.5 x 11, even though the original WORD doc was 5.5 x 8.5
    This happens even when I go into the Acrobat Preferences and change the default page size to 5.5 x 8.5.
    The worst of it is, it does not happen with everyone who uses a particular computer here. It happens to some, but not to others.
    Does anyone have any experience with this?
    Thanks.

    It's happening the same way on several different computers here.
    Everyone logs in with their own userid on each machine. We are all working with the same MS WORD documents. These documents are non-standard sizes -- 6 x 9, or 5.5 x 8.5.
    Everyone uses the same version of Acrobat Professional, and selects "Convert to PDF from file".
    For some people, the PDF is created from the Word doc, and the original page size is retained. This is what we want.
    However, for others, the PDF is created as 8.5 x 11, no matter what the original size of the document was. No amount of fiddling with the default page size, in either Acrobat or Word, changes this.
    It is driving me crazy, and I was hoping that at least one other person on the planet has come across this problem. Is this an Adobe or a Microsoft problem? Could it be a Windows registry setting?
    Advice is appreciated!

  • Default Fit page size option does not stay when printing

    I have a document that i'm trying to print that goes a bit outside the bounds of the page. This document is produced by a third party software as a receipt, so I went into adobe reader X (10.1.2) and set the page size to Fit instead of Actual size in which it does show it correctly. Close adobe, re-open, just to make sure the setting is still set which it is. Produce the document, try to print, adobe now shows actual size for page setting by default on the print window. I do not get it.
    Has anyone experienced anything similar?

    Yes, I am currently trying to find a way to make "actual size" the default setting for all of my print jobs.  No luck anywhere.

  • HTML-DB 1.6 (Apex) Page size and Page Model and monitor size

    Hi everyone,
    We developed our application based on 17 inches monitor. But, today one user told us that she has a 15 inches monitor. Thus, she don't see full page, she has to use the scroll.
    Is it in our model that you can reduce the page size for example 80% size in the page model to fit with 15 inches monitor ?
    Or to define a variable in the page model and have two different buttons one for 15 inches monitor (80% page size) and an other related to 17 inches monitor and more (100% page size) this pourcent should be the value of a variable in the page model ?
    Thanks. Bye.

    Hi Timiche,
    The easiest thing to do would be to make sure that the width of items on the page (especially tables) are set to a percentage and not a fixed px value. This way, the items will spread out to fill the available screen width.
    You should also bear in mind that users can change the resolution of the screens - 640x400, 800x600, 1024x768 etc. It would become a nightmare to try and cater for all possible resolutions and screen sizes by dynamically changing the fixed width dimensions of all objects on a page! I would check what items need to be of fixed width and change all the rest to percentages.
    We tend to inform our users that pages have been designed for a particular resolution - currently 1024x768.
    Regards
    Andy

  • Trouble changing page page size

    I'm trying to upload file to a print-on-demand service. The page size in my original PDF file is too big because it contains the printers marks and white space around the edge of the page. (Page size is 6.69 x 9.10 inches.) I've done a Crop Page (all pages) to take off the printers marks and white space, and reduce the page size to what I need, which is A5 (5.833 x 8.264).
    But when I upload the file, the print-on-demand service still reports that the file has the original, larger size.
    I've double-checked in Document Properties in Acrobat to verify that the reduced page size has been saved. I've browsed through the file, and all pages seem like they're the correct, smaller size.
    How can I crop and reduce the page size of the file in a way that the print-on-demand service will recognize?
    Thanks.

    Do you have Acrobat Pro 8.1? not standard. The tool should be found in Advanced->Print Production->Crop Pages.
    I wouln't be trusting what the document properties says in Acrobat. Using the normal cropping tool affects this.
    [edit]
    I just tried to use the Crop Pages tool, and Acrobat wont let you reduce the page size of the pdf only increase it. I normally use PitStop for this kind of work and that will let you reduce the media box size.
    Gerry's idea is a good one as well, Open the PDF in photoshop, in the open options dialog box, Choose Crop to Trim Box, Turn Anti-Aliased Off, and set the DPI, to 600 and the Colour mode to CMYK.
    Then save that out of photoshop as a pdf. This will create a much larger file but "should" still print at a good quality. It is not the preffered method though.
    Another easy way is if you have InDesign, Place the pdf in that and then re-export it without trims or bleed.
