Problem printing PDF
DLed an Alcatel Pixie Unite cell user manual. It displays very nicely with Foxit PDF viewer via Foxfore browser. Pages dispkay fully but they are vertically cvompressed when printed so that they only fill half the printed page. I've not had this happen before. Can't find any Foxit menu options to fix this that I understand. Anyone have any suggestions? This makes a difficult user guide even more difficult to understand. TIA -- I love a good meal! That's why I don't cook. |

See how PDFXChange viewer handles the same. I like its features better than foxit's. I see the Tracker site says it has been dc/d in favor of Editor which looks like it isn't free, but viewer is still available at the site https://www.tracker-software.com/pro...xchange-viewer -- Mike Easter |

TIA I have a PDF sample from them here, where the document page size is 3.03" by 4.61". It needs to be "Fit to paper" when printed to letter paper. https://s17.postimg.org/7zqgk4cfz/print.gif Documents like this, the scale showing is for the original printed manual they were planning on making, with microscopic pages so the manual easily fits in the box.

DLed an Alcatel Pixie Unite cell user manual. And that would be from WHERE? Give a URL to the download; else, we have no idea what .pdf file you got. I found one at: https://s3.amazonaws.com/tpassets.de...M_EN_Final.pdf It displays very nicely with Foxit PDF viewer via Foxfore browser. Pages dispkay fully but they are vertically cvompressed when printed so that they only fill half the printed page. I've not had this happen before. Can't find any Foxit menu options to fix this that I understand. In the .pdf that I found (might not be the one you found), the pages are already small so they'll print that way, too. That was the choice of whomever wrote the PDF as to the sizing of the pages. This how the PDF looked in both the PDF viewer embedded in Google Chrome and in PDFXchange Editor. Same for the author's choice of small fonts. You never mentioned which printer (brand and model) you have. Could be the software for that printer lets you expand a page to the margins of the paper, like "Fit to page margins", or gives you a zoom function to enlarge the "page" that will fit larger onto the paper. Because the manual is oriented sideways (it is wider than it is long), you may have to elect a rotation feature in your printer's software to print in landscape mode (rather than portrait mode); else, zooming could result in either still some wasted whitespace at the bottom of the paper or losing content that goes outside the paper margins. You'll have to play with the configuration of whatever printer you have to see what options it provides for fitting, zooming, and reorientation. |
