Print preview does not match page layout
I have a one page portrait newsletter that is 8.5"x25" (tabloid) in MS
Publisher 2007. However, when I print preview, it looks as though the document is spread out on three 8x11 pages and there is significant white space at the beginning and end of the document. When I printed to PDF using Acrobat Distiller, it too was spread out on three pages with significant white space on the top and bottom. I would like to print to PDF so the one page newsletter as it is viewed in Publisher looks the same when printed to PDF. How can this be fixed? Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! |

Are you using the Microsoft PDF add-in?
First of all tabloid is 11 x 17. If your printer cannot handle this size stock then print preview will tile. When you are finished creating your newsletter, File, Save as type PDF, click *Change* on the save as page, on the next screen select Print Options..., type your paper size. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Jennifer" wrote in message ...

Print preview does not match page layout p.s.
I re-read your post and realized you are using Acrobat.
File, Print, Adobe PDF printer, select Tabloid. It shouldn't tile, at least it doesn't here. If your newsletter is actually 8.5 X 25, you can create a custom size in Acrobat. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ... Are you using the Microsoft PDF add-in?

I have a similar problem. I understand why it's happening, but I'm going to
email the document to my school where they can print it on the correct paper. Is there a way to tell Publisher to ignore my printer settings and just show me what it's going to look like?

Do you have any other printer driver installed? There are a couple of generic
printers you can install, Publisher Image Setter and the Commercial PS printer. Open the Printer Folder and install, scroll down to Generic. You should get a different look on print preview if you select one of these. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Vancouver" wrote in message ... I have a similar problem.

You can hide Boundaries and Guides using Ctrl+Shift+O; that will give a pseudo-print preview. Alternatively you can change the active printer to a PDF driver; that will allow custom large-format page sizes. You may want to consider using a PDF anyway, since it may avoid potential difficulties that arise from moving a file from one machine to another, such as differences in the installed fonts. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org |
