Changing page size form Letter to A4

The paper tray on a random printer cannot be selected directly through a script. Paper source settings are not really standardized. You know, most people only have one paper tray so it's a moot point. Only someone with a big printer has this option. Those people are typically into printing and use a Job file, a JDF.

However, it's very typical for a printer to select the paper source based on paper size. And this is actually an option you can put in the PDF, i.e., select paper source based on size. So one option is for you to resize all your pages to A1.

Hi,

Thanks so much the information. So how can i specify the size for all paper using script?

Also can you please throw a light on second query.

Regards,
Mahesh.

The JavaScript code in your first post only operates in Acrobat. So to run it, a document has to be open in Acrobat. There is no way around this.

The only way to modify the page size on the Client side is with an Automation script running in Acrobat Professional. Can you install a script at the client? Since you are using iText to generate the PDF I think a better solution would be create it to be A4 page size in the first place.

Thanks for the reply. Yes better solution is to adjust page sie in iText. Thanks for it, i will look into it.

Another question: In 8.1.1 it prints silently the pdf but on version higher then that ask "This document is about to print" like that, i have read about it on forums and solution is to writer either a folder level script of user level script. Well I have tried that but it is not working. Means i have putted a script suggested in http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=12622 in user/folder level. And then i tried to invoke that function from PDF (in the same way as i am doing in iText) but no luck. Any idea about it.

Thanks,
Mahesh.

Please read these articles:
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/folder_level_scripts
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2008/10/using_trusted_functions

Folder level scripts are loaded when Acrobat starts up. They cannot be added after Acrobat has already started. A function defined in a folder level script can be run from anywhere in the Acrobat JavaScript environment, which means it can be run from a acript in a document. I don't know how you are trying to invoke the function, but it has to be done from inside Acrobat.
