Hi - PDFCreator works great on my system with one exception - when I print multi-page documents from Adobe Acrobat Reader to PDFCreator, the first page prints normal size, but the output of subsequent pages is dramatically reduced (about 1"x.75" total).
If I use the 'Collect' feature for several multi-page documents, then the pattern is repeated - for each one page 1 prints normally, but subsequent pages of that document are shrunk. Page 1 of the next document is full-size.
The only way I can combine several multi-page documents into a single PDF is to 'Collect' them, printing only 1 page at a time.
I've used PDFCreator together with Adobe Reader for years. This didn't used to happen with earlier versions of PDFCreator and Reader, but somewhere in the last couple of years it appeared following a regular update (sorry, I can't tell you which piece triggered the problem).
Is this a bug/speed bump in Acrobat Reader, or is there some setting wrong in my PDFCreator/ Acrobat Reader?
From the Adobe Acrobat Print dialog, choose PDFCreator as the printer then click Properties.
Select Paper/Quality tab.
Click Advanced.
Choose the paper size you would like to print.
Click OK, OK.
Back in the Print dialog, deselect "Choose paper source by PDF page size".
PDFCreator will now create all pages to your chosen paper size without reducing down to a fraction of the original. Unfortunately, if you have differing sizes of sheets within the same document you will need to print each sheet size individually and combine the files later. It's not a great solution, but it worked around the problem for me.
I tried your suggestion but I continue to get the 1st page normal size and all subsequent pages miniature. The preview:composite window shows all pages the same size, but after completing the print, the resulting pdf file has miniature pages after page 1. I'm using ver. 1.4.2.
btw, this only happens when printing multi-page documents from adobe acrobat reader (ver. 9.5.1). Other programs can print multi-page just fine to pdf creator.
