Issues printing PDFs in Acrobat Pro and Photoshop
#1
Yes, both. Since my wife is working from home now, we're getting her office (the old third bedroom) in order. She had a wonderful office printer before her company folded but she couldn't take that with her...

So now we're setting up the Canon Pro-100 I got on an Adorama camera package but we're having a lot of issues. She designed some samples and needed prints for the client. The samples fill the page to the edges of the paper-per client specs-but when she prints them out of Acrobat Pro, the edges are clipped off. I go to Page Setup and tell the printer to print borderless but it still prints with the borders cut off. No matter how I input settings, the edges are cut off. I click on Help (Create a custom paper size), and what it's telling me to do, I'm doing. No dice.

OK, so I open the PDFs in Photoshop and I adjust the designs on the page to move them more to the center of the document and that works, except for one thing: They're larger than what they should be! Instead of 4", they're slightly larger! I find out that when the PDFs are imported into PS, they're coming in at different sizes! All I can say is, WTF? I'm pulling what little hair I have left out.

At this point, I ended up resizing them in PS and getting them printed for her and her client in time. But this is ridiculous. I'll settle for finding out why I can't get the images to print in Acrobat correctly. Any ideas? It's probably right in front of my face but I can't see it...

Tried printing from Preview ?
Delete and re-add printer ?

No, but I have gotten some of it figured out. Turns out the Page Setup dialog box doesn't show the same settings between different apps. I've written down the steps to bypass that silliness until I figure out why they're like that. Thx for those tips tho.

Yeah, you need to check both "page setup" and "printer" in the dialog boxes.

Im sure you already see it, but For acrobat, make sure none of the "fit to page" boxes are checked.

There may also be some limitatoins on borderless printing -- our Brother wont do borderless printing if you select some paper types...

Found that out! Now, to figure out the right colorspace... So far, the best setting has been CIE RGB. The rest
are flat with low saturation.
