Over sized pages autocenter even when unchecked

Post by rgtech »

Is there anyway to set the over sized image to print so the top left corner of the page and image line up instead of it centering?

We trying to print 8.5x11 pdf so it lines up with perforations on the paper. Due to printer margins the document is over sized compared to the printing area. Even though the Autocenter box is unchecked the image still shows the over sized portion evenly around the sheet and also prints this way. Basically centering the image. What we need is the top left corner of the image and the paper to align so the extra over hang is on the right and bottom. This would print the image so the it lines up with our perforations. We get documents with several pages and we can't use any options that required a per page manipulation. Currently we are using a custom scale option but sometimes we still get print that touches the perforations plus we are printing barcodes so we really should not be scaling at all.

We are using the latest version of the pdf xchange viewer. Attached is the pdf xchange print dialog and the document we are trying to print.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Hi rgtech,

Thanks for the email and samples - I don't believe that it's currently possible to do this, without manually moving the content with the Edit Content Tool. I'll have to double check this with the Dev. Team and will get back to you.

Cheers,

Hi rgtech,

I'm afraid we don't have a way of doing that directly when printing the PDF to paper, however there is a way you can do it.

If you print the PDF to our PDF-XChange Printer you will find that you can locate the document where ever you want. Locating the content properly on the new page will mean that the PDF you create can then be printed directly without having to manipulate the position.
  • Print your original PDF from the Editor to the PDF-XChange Printer 2012
  • Use the Properties of the PDF-XChange Printer to locate your content on the paper exactly where you want it

After printing this PDF (assuming you located it accurately in the previous step) you should find the new prints to the right location directly.

I hope that helps.
Best regards
