3. Re: 11x17 tabloid does not print correctly
cudeii@aol.com Apr 8, 2010 5:04 PM (in response to Techmus)I am having a similar problem. I have windows XL,
and a hp Deskjet 9800. I have been using PM 6.5 ever since it came out. I publish a newsletter using tabloid fold in half, under booklet. So it is a really a 4 page document. It has always done fine until this week. It prints the copy in reduced format that would fit on a 8 1\2 x 11. I have tried every setting possible, with no success. Today I downloaded the trial 7.0 version, it does the same thing. I went back and printed old versions that a 3 & 4 years old they won't print right now, either.

Claudio González Apr 8, 2010 7:36 PM (in response to cudeii@aol.com)Have you checked that you have th
e last version of your printer driver? And do you re
ally want to publicize your email address? If the answer to my second que
stion is no, I would suggest that you change your screen name.

It's old software and new operating system/printer drivers. You are unlikely to get any help from Adobe or HP but you can try.
Create a PDF and print that as it's unlikely the DeskJet has PS mode.
BTW, booklet printing is far easier with ISO paper sizes.
Move on up to InDesign while you can still get a big discount with PM Licence number.

6. Re: 11x17 tabloid does not print correctly
Techmus Apr 9, 2010 1:05 PM (in response to BigJohnD)I have tried printing the PDF. The PDF prints, but not the correct size. If I choose to print the PDF, I make sure it is 11x17, I made sure that it stretches to print to the whole area, it shows correctly. When I go to print and I check the preview, the width is 8.5 and the depth is 5.5 (landscape mode). It makes no difference if the 11x17 or the 11x17 tabloid are selected. The page displays correctly, but in the print view it does not fill the 11x17.

You should be able to print 11"×17" without problem.
Make sure the Distiller printer is set up correctly. (This ver 6 as
I'm on an old laptop)

10. Re: 11x17 tabloid does not print correctly
Techmus Apr 14, 2010 12:23 PM (in response to BigJohnD)Thank you for your suggestions! I was able to get to print correctly in PDF. I was using Acrobat Reader 8, installed Acrobat Reader 9.3. After that when I went to print it, I selected print to printable area and then it printed fine, the preview showed the correct size and when I then finished the print selection it printed correctly on the 11x17 paper.
