Hello! Thanks for a great product. I recently had need to try to print an 8 page PDF to JPG format. I used the Options > Document > “One file per page” setting and it made 8 JPGs. Interestingly, though, the very first page was a full size JPG that looked great. The next 7 pages were all very small images that were about 1/4 of the page (printed to the upper left corner) with the other 3/4 being white space. Any ideas for what I can do to remedy this? The expected result would obviously be that all 8 pages look like the first page; full sized.
Robin, thanks for your response. That made them a good bit larger but now there’s white space on both the top and bottom of each image. The source PDF has no such white space and looks a lot better. How can I get the image to look exactly like the source PDF?
The white space is on every page. I’m printing to PDF Creator from Adobe Reader. What do you mean I will “probably have to adjust the settings”? That’s a pretty broad suggestion…
Thanks for your response. No, for “Size Options”, I have “Fit” selected. However, I tried all 3 options and all of them are doing the same thing. It looks like the image was put on a page that was too large so there is a white border alone the tops and bottoms (and even some on the sides). What do you suggest I try?
If the original image is to large you could try using “use fixed paper size” in Options > Document > Dokument properties 2, it will cut off everything that exceeds the defined paper size.
Again, thanks for your response. I am already using “Use fixed paper size” (I believe that is set by default, and it’s set to “a4”). Is PDF Creator just not able to print PDFs to images reliably? I’ve long since downloaded another program to handle this and it worked perfectly right away. It seems like PDF Creator is just not up to par on this particular option. Do you have anything else I can try to get rid of those white borders when printing PDF to JPG?
if you allready had fixed paper size enabled (not enabled by default, i really didn´t assume you had this enabled), this may be the exact thing causing the problem, have you tried to disable it (together with using the “use actual size” setting in adobe)? If all this doesn´t work or is unsuitable, you can also try Images2pdf or PDFArchitect, both are provided together with PDFCreator.
Thanks for your reply. I don't recall setting that option but maybe I did.
The white borders are gone HOWEVER it is now cutting much of the picture off. I don't think the pictures are all the same size so maybe that's why it's doing it.
Thanks for trying to help but PDFCreator must not be able to perform this function reliably on pages that are of different sizes. Using PDFXchange Viewer, it just seems to work perfectly with no headaches!
it really depends on the settings made, if you have input of pages of different sizes, but want them all to be the same size in output, then the way you set “Size Options” to “Fit” was the correct approach (without having “use fixed paper size” enabled in PDFCreator), but i guess you have found a suitable solution.
I believe I did everything you suggested and it still didn’t work. Like I said in my previous post, it got rid of the white borders but it cut a lot of the picture off in the process. That’s obviously unacceptable. Thanks for trying; I appreciate it. After trying everything you said, I think it’s just not designed to take pages of different sizes and output them nicely into separate images.
