PDF Publishing Saves to Wrong Size

christiandcdc — Fri, 19 May 2023 20:20:18 GMT

Publishing to PDF defaults to 8.5 x 11 regardless of the layout size. Specifically, my layouts are 24x36 and has been working perfectly for 2 years and now all the saved files are 8.5 x 11 portrait.

Additionally, when I print a PDF from the dialog box, with the page set up at 24x36, the saved PDF is 8.5x11 portrait.

I am OSX Leopard, AC10, and have Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 7.1 Pro.

Any thoughts???

Other projects publish to PDF correctly, so there must be a setting I am missing???!!

Assuming you are using the internal PDF functions, check your paper handling setup in the print dialogue before you send to the PDF. The attached image shows this in Tiger, I don't have Lepoard yet.

I finally got the print to PDF to work by NOT using the OSX PDF function (I used the PDF 7 print driver), but it is sure annoying to individually print 50+sheets.

Erich, thanks for the tip ... Leopard is slightly different, but that didn't seem to be me my problem.

Still no luck in the publish function ....
