Applications :: Preview Cutting Off PDF At Margins
Mar 27, 2009
Whenever I use Preview (v 4.1) to print certain pdfs, it often cuts off the bottom line (eg page numbers, last line of figure captions) which is really frustrating. I know it's not the printer's problem because I can print the same document in Adobe Acrobat on my Windows side (via Bootcamp) without any cutoff. Adobe has the "center" and "fit to scale" options or smthg like that in the print window, which was checked. In Preview's print window, the print preview image looks just fine with no cutoff, but it never prints out that way.
I think the problem may be in the lack of proper centering and fitting to scale in Preview in contrast to Adobe. I read somewhere that Preview likes to scale the pdf not around the center (which would prevent any bottom margin cutoff) but around a corner (like the bottom left corner, leaving the bottom margin problem unchanged). I really would like to resolve this within Preview. I don't want to hav to download the bloated Adobe on my Mac side. Also I really like Preview except for this issue.

How do you control the margins in TextEdit?
I am trying to create a manual which includes some screen snaps which fit on A4 paper, but TextEdit persistently has fat margins and won't print the images that are wider than width allowed by the margins.
The screen grabs appear on screen but when I print the document the wider images do not print although they leave a gap in the text equal to their height.
I have:
Adjusted the preferences:
� for window width which is in No of Characters (how wide is a character when you are using rtf?)
� checked Wrap to window which shows a page view but the margins don't change
� I have created an entire new page in Page Setup with fixed margins and selected it but nothing changes
Mac Help says the margins can be altered by dragging the page margin markers in the ruler, but they will not drag outside what seems to be the default margins, This wouldn't help with top and bottom margins anyway.
I have tried using Acrobat PDF as the printer but again I get no further options and nothing changes.
I am at my wits end. TextEdit is almost temptingly useful except for the weird UI.

I'm doing a fake resum� for school, and I want two blocks of text on the same line, one left aligned, and one left aligned to the center of the page... but pages isn't letting me do so!
Is there a way to make it work? I tried making a separate text box, but it wasn't working for me, so I gave up.

I am not sure if this is possible but cannot find an option for it;
Is it possible to adjust the header/ footer side margins independently from the main body's margins?
I know you can adjust the margins for 'header from top' and 'footer from bottom', but I would like to have my header to go right to the edge of the page instead of remain within the 3cm from edge margins I have set for the main body.
Another question if anyone can help is how can I write in a header say, Mr.Brown on the left hand side and on the same line, but on the right hand side, write the date?

I've been searching around for some wood cutting software.
So that I can minimize the amount of ply wood I need for a project.
They all seem to be PC based. Yes I know I can boot camp, but I don't want to.

In Windows XP/Vista, if you are navigating in a folder containing pictures, and you click any picture, it opens up Windows built in preview program. Much like OSX. However, in Windows, you can click "Next/Previous" within that program to quickly flip through those photos. Why do the up & down arrows in OSX not work? I still prefer my iMac to any PC I have owned, but this one little thing bugs me to no end. Is there a setting I can change somewhere to make that work like in Windows?

Just a quick one (I hope)! I've recently transferred some excel files over from PC to my new imac and all is fine with the file, all formulas still work etc. My issue is printing. I've tried modifying this and that, but every time i do so it keeps popping up an error message saying "margins do not fit page" irritably frustrating!
If you try to print, it prints off like 300 pages (well try's to anyway) when it should be just 1...
I'm using a HP PSC1410 (not a great printer I know)

My home page on MacBook Pro is NY Times. The home page does not fill the space. There are white space margins of approximately 1 inch on both sides of the page. Shouldn't the home page fill the entire space with no white empty margins? How to correct?

A couple of weeks ago, my 2011 MAcbook Pro started to cut out for no reason when not plugged in, despite the battery life showing as 40-50% full. I originally thought nothing of it, as everything works fine when the machine is plugged in, but gradually this has become an issue. After researching online and trying various solutions (eg reset SMB), I checked out the battery status and it says Service battery, after just over 200 cycles. My Istat pro widget has battery health at 37%.Baring in mind I've had the machine for less than 13 months, it seems odd that the battery should depreciate so quickly. Is there anything I can do about this? I'm losing work through it cutting out so suddenly!Having checked it seems that I'm about 2 weeks outside my warranty, but if the battery is at fault I would still like to avoid having to pay for a repair/replacement if possible!

I still DO NOT understand why apple does not have a cut functionality in the mac. It is really frustrating, as having the cut capability is very useful when moving multiple files through different directories. So is there a way to get this functionality?

I stream my iTunes library wirelessly to an Airport Express in the other room. A few months ago I had problems with it cutting out all the time. The music would just stop streaming and then a few minutes later would kick back in. The green light stayed on. I chalked up the problem to an old wireless router that was really starting to act up, so I upgraded to a Time Capsule with Airport for a seamless Apple network. Now I've got my iMac hooked up to my Time Capsule and the Airport Express in my wireless network and it is starting to cut out again.

I use internet sharing on my Mac Mini so I can surf on my MBP. I notice that if I try to upload or download files for too long, my internet will completely disconnect for both computers. I have to reset my aircard on the Mini to get it working again. This also happens if you are watching YouTube vids, and the file size is relatively large.
What is weird is, if I turn airport off on my MBP, and try the same thing just on the Mac Mini, the internet can stay connected all day. Is this a flaw in OSX internet sharing? Or in one of the computer's Airport? Or possibly in my Aircard? (But why would it completely disconnect just because two computers are sharing the same connection?) By the way, I have Alltel wireless. The card is old, but if I upgrade to the Verizon card, they will limit my bandwidth.

When not attached to the charger, my macbook pro (3 yrs old) will abruptly turn off. I can use it for 5-15 minutes and then the screen just goes black. At that time I can plug it in and turn it back on without a problem. I assume the battery is going bad.

My iTunes used to work fine, but today it started doing this. Whenever I'll play a song (this affects probably 1/5 songs), it'll start normally. Then, when there are about 30 seconds left, it'll skip to the next song without playing the last 30 seconds.Â

Running iTunes 10.6.1 under OS X 10.7.3Â
Just in the last couple of days, iTunes has apparently decided that I don't need to hear the endings of some of my songs. This isn't a cross-fade issue; they just abruptly stop, often in the middle of a verse, a line, or even a word.Â
It seems mostlyto be affecting older, DRM-protected songs purchased from the iTunes Store, but it's not affecting all of them and I'm not 100 percent sure that it's only affecting them. I'd sure like to know how to get it to stop.

Ever since I moved my library from an old iMac to a MacBook Pro, iTunes has been cutting off some songs before completion. This is true in playback both on iTunes on the MacBook and when I listen on the iPhone.

I'm sure I changed some setting somewhere, but this is a bit annoying. Before buying a song in Amazon MP3, to preview, I click the little play button - it used to play in the browser... now it plays it in iTunes. Anyone know what the issue might be? I'm forced then to remove the link it adds to my iTunes library after every preview.

I've got a real odd problem with safari 4. For some reason it is cutting my download speeds in about 1/2 from my server and many other places.
If I restart safari I will be able to download close to my 18 Mbps for a little bit but then it will just start to slow down and after about 30 minutes it will be down to about 6 - 8 Mbps.

My iTunes sometimes cuts off songs. No, I'm not talking about crossfading, I'm talking about iTunes actually cutting off the song file. For example, I had "So Fresh So Clean" from Outkast as an MP3 for years now, and I'm one zillion percent sure that I had the complete song, nicely fading out at the end. A few days ago, I played it on my iPhone and noticed that it ended abruptly at the end. When I got home, I immediately checked that song on iTunes, where it also got cut off a few seconds before it actually ended. Playing the file in Quicklook and VLC I found out that the file has actually been physically cut off! It's a few kilobytes shorter than before. What the hell is this? This isn't the first song that this has happened to, and I also had this on my previous MacBook. I'm running the latest versions of OS X, iTunes, iOS etc.

On Leopard on more than one Mac I've noticed iCal cutting off the ends of some of the names of events when in month view. Happens whether or not I've got it set to also show the start time in month view. It may have been happening in Tiger too but I can't recall. Resizing my iCal window can get the full ext to appear in full on some days, but it just makes it disappear for other events.

Ive been using windows 7 32bit to play battlefield bad company 2 via steam for about a month now with no problems. A week or so ago, I booted into bootcamp, loaded bc2, found a server, played for a few seconds then started noticing major lag. After a couple of minutes of this, the connection would be lost with the server and very shortly after the internet light on my router would go from green to red. I boot back into OS X and the connection goes back up. It now does this every single time i boot into bootcamp and the connection is always perfect in OS X. I tried reinstalling windows 7 (64bit this time) and the problem is still there.

for the last few days my wi fi cuts out. If I go to the diagnostics it turns back on. It says that my network configurations have changed but then allows me to access it. But the next time I go to use it it has gone again.

how to get a Cricut Mini cutting machine set up on my Mac? It's plugged in, it's on, I downloaded the program for using the machine from the net, but my Mac doesn't seem to recognize that the machine is connected. It is supposed to be compatible with PC or Mac, and I thought I could just plug it in and it would be recognized as a new thing.
