Problem creating  ONE PDF from a large file

May 3, 2012 8:04 AM

Every few months we need to create a three or four foot square document that our printer ouputs for us and laminates. But each time I end up jumping through hoops to get them the PDF file from the Visio source file. Finally get it to work in the end but with each new job I start all over again. Very frustrating...

 

The document size in Visio is set to 36x36 inches.

 

When printing, In the Adobe PDF Settings tab I have:

 

Default Settings I have created and saved a setting that has the page size set to 36x36.
Under Adobe PDF Page Size I have that set to 36 by 36

 

But after chewing on the file for a LONG time, I end up with a useless, 20 page file. What am I missing??

 

Using:

Visio 2010

Acrobat X Pro 10.1.3

Win 7/64

    Finally figured it out...

     

    Even though the page size in Visio and all Acrobat settings was set to 36x36 inches, there's yet another option in Visio for Print Setup which was left set to standard letter size. As a result, that overode all the other settings and Acrobat was misinformed as to what size paper was being used for ouput. Once i changed that size as well to 36x36, the PDF came out as I wanted on one page.
