11 x 17 issues with pdf and tif files
11 x 17 issues with pdf and tif files
(OP)
Here's one that I just can't solve.
Again, probably the wrong forum, but your responses are extremely appreciated;
Whenever I try to print .tif or .pdf files in 11 x 17 size, only a narrow strip of printed page appears(on the left, approx. 3 in x 11 in.), and the rest is a blank page. This seems to happen not only when printing directly from Windows Kodak Imaging or Adobe Acrobat, it also happens when I use PrintScreen and paste into Word!
Otherwise, we print 11 x 17 perfectly from Acad, and others.
I've tried verbal abuse & striking the printer as hard as I could, and that still didn't do the trick...
Thanks in advance,
GA

Sometimes that will allow some recalcitrant files to print.
You might also not have enough memory in the printer.

In general, printing 11x17 documents on 8.5x11 inch paper can be accomplished by:
File > Print > PrintPreview > PAGE SETUP!
There is a box in "PAGE SETUP" that allows you to reduce the image you wish to print.

Download, install and use the latest PS (PostScript)drivers and the problem is resolved.
I still use the PCL drivers for AutoCAD plotting.

Short Answer: Reduce your Print Quality through printer properties in Adobe print dialog box.
Long Answer (for HP 8000 printer):
Our printer defaults to the highest quality. At the highest quality setting large pdf files only partially print.
In Acrobat Reader:
1) click on the Print button
2) in the Print Dialog box click on Properties
3) On the Finishing tab, reduce the Printer Quality from Best Quality to 600 dpi.
4) optional (Quick Sets, also on the Finishing tab, make it easy to recall customized settings like print quality, paper size and orientation.)
