Why shrink when printing PDF files?

The booklets that I create with InDesign print perfectly. When I convert to PDF and print, there is a narrowing of text and a pull of each page of the outside margins. I don't know how to solve this problem. Happens if I try to print the file PDF from Mac or PC. But the original InDesign file prints without the shrinkage and pulling of the margins.

Almost always, when you experience this problem, it's because the area dialog print in Reader or Acrobat is set to fit the page causing page scaling as you describe it. Check your print settings.

  • can "print image" be defined as the default value when printing PDF files?

    We have many students to connect and when they print PDF to our Lexmark printers it works best for "print image" otherwise printers get bogged down and hang sometimes. We would like to see if we can have 'print picture' it set as the default when printing PDF files?

    Hi desktopsuofslib,

    There no option in Acrobat to define 'print as image' as option by default because as soon as we opt for this option, the profile of settings is automatically replaced custom Acrobat default.

    However, I have noticed that when you use the option 'print picture' for a specific printer and print a document, that this option remains active for subsequent printings, unless you change it manually.

    Kind regards

  • Easier way to print PDF files with comments?

    I think remember me with an earlier version of Acrobat pro, when printing PDF files with comments, comments would be printed on a second page.  How are you doing it?  I know how to print if the comment bubbles print on pages but not what I want

    This is done by using the feature summary of comments, but this option does not exist in Adobe Reader, that in Acrobat.

  • Unable to print pdf files when opend

    Hello

    im not able to print PDF files when it opens. If I right-click and choose Print then print the document. I had this problem for over a year?

    This happed suddenly one day, I think that after an update from adobe.

    Any other files, word, pictures, jpge ect im able to print without any problems.

    For eksample, I recently scanned a document and saved as a pdf file. When I opened the file og click on print the program asks me to save the file... when I right clik on the same file, and then click on print, then it prints...?

    I had severel printer over the years and never had this problem. I asked printer support as well and there is nothing wrong with the setting since im capable of printing all other printer files. The same problem is when I get pdf files, I can't print them when theyre opend but if right click and choose Print prints.

    What can be the problem here?

    Thank you

  • Why can I not print pdf files? All I get is a bar progression and the sounds of the printer.

    When I click on print, a progress bar is displayed and 'progressing' through 5 pages of a pdf file. The printer starts to get a restless and I get a beep of the printer that it's done. But nothing came out of the printer! A few seconds later, a blank piece of paper is slowly ejected from the printer.

    NOTE: The printer is able to print pdf files - No. Help!

  • My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.

    My office print 8600 ProPlus will not print pdf files sent from an iPad with ePrint.  I just get an error message when I go to the HP Eprint centre.  It prints the address email of the coverage, but nothing else.  The attachment is not sure that I can see.  I tried to send an attachment from my Mac and worked well.

    Thank you for your response and I am sorry for the delay to return to you.  I tried save the Pages document in a Word document and send it to the printer using ePrint but it is even.  That is to say the handout printed but not the attachment.  However, when we removed the accompanying document and sent the attachment in its own it has worked well for we have managed to solve the problem. Thank you very much.

    Hello @pamhans, greetings!

    Welcome to the HP Forum! It is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get help and advice.

    I understand that you are having problems when printing an image in PDF format. I would like to help with that.

    First of all, I would like to know the app that you use to open / print PDF files. You use "Adobe reader" or another application?

    If you do not use the Adobe reader software, please install Adobe reader, and then try to print the pdf image.

    If you already use Adobe reader software, follow the steps below:

    1. try the option "Print as image":

    • Choose file > print and then click Advanced.
    • Select print as Image.
    • Click OK to close the Advanced Print Setup dialog box, and then click OK to print.

    2. install the last update:

    • Open Acrobat or Reader.
    • Choose Help > check for updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    • Once installed, restart your computer.
    • Print the PDF again.

    In addition, please go through the steps here: http://hp.care/2dSDxCD

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance

    See you soon

  • PDF print printer. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files.

    I have a printer HP LaserJet CP1525nw color less than a year.  Have always been able to print PDF files. Changed my color toners & now cannot print PDF files. When I use the print icon, I have an option "save under" file.  Makes no difference if I save file or not, it doesn't print not (or place in the queue of the printer).  If I try to print the saved file, it does still not print.  I have not changed (knowingly) all my printer options.  H E L P!

  • iP8720 won't print PDF files

    My iP8720 does not print PDF files. It doesn't matter if the file has been created in Acrobat 8 Pro, Word, WordPerfect. It does not matter if the PDF contains images or text. It print files of Word and WordPerfect, as well as Photoshop, etc. PDF files seems to be the only problem. I use Windows 7 Ultimate. Any help woud be appreciated.

    Make sure that the correct driver for this printer is installed. Sometimes during installation, either disk or online, the incorrect printer driver has been charged, and that's why it wouldn't print PDFS.

    Michael!  Something that worked.  I printed a pdf of pg 4!  Here, it is a print option, but he was off the screen, and I noticed I did scroll to the bottom of the page that the printer has been change to fax, send to a single Note, Journal, etc.  I think I've probably hit the? next to the help when I haven't seen print and quit - every time.  Thank you so much, that solved a big problem.

    Someone else had put the partial reset online as a way to solve the problem of outdated cartridge - it did not help this problem, I still "magenta to expiration" - which was replaced.
