Maintain Original Document Size
Submitted by roxie2401 on Sun, 2008-07-06 13:44.
How can I keep pdfCreator from adding additional "white space" or increasing the margins to my doucments?
When I create the PDF, pdfCreator adds space at the top (and bottom), which changes the appearance of the original material.
Is there an option that I have missed that will keep the original document size?
Also, if I create a PDF of a scanned document (say a utility bill), pdfCreator always make it a fixed paper size (say 8.5 x 11). If I use cutePDF or PrimoPDF they both create the PDF file the same size as the original - whatever the scanned size, that is the size of the PDF.
How do I get rid of this extra white space?
I far perfer pdfCreator but I want the document to retain the original size.
Am I missing something?
TechCommoner,
thanks for the reply... i am not able to test this right now but if this is the case why is PDFCreator not getting the paper sizing information from Word, Excel or other application?
In my environment I may jump from Letter (8.5x11) to Legal(8.5x14) to Tabloid (11x17). In a few cases on the same print job as I print to a MFP with everything loaded.
I will try this out later.
thanks
Alan
