Q: Sometimes when I print a PDF to non-standard page sizes (such as A3), it shows well in the print preview but it only prints on a small portion of the paper or it is cutoff.
A: The issue is the following: On some Mac OS X, using PDF Studio, users can not print documents on a different paper format than the default paper size set on the printer under the system settings / driver.
Workarounds are below:
Option 1: Use System dialog to Print (instead of PDF Studio)
You can temporarily change the default print dialog in PDF Studio application to Print with MAC instead of Print with PDF Studio. After printing, remember to revert back to the PDF Studio Print dialog which has more powerful options than the Mac Print dialog (such as preview …).
Option 2: Temporarily Change the Default Page Size in System Preferences
- Go to System Preferences -> click Printers & Scanners
- Select the printer that you’re using.
- Click the Default paper size dropdown and select the paper size that you’re going to print.
- Try to print the document again
- Make sure to follow the same directions to restore your original page size after you are done printing
Other Option: Print with another PDF Viewer
Print using another PDF viewers such as Preview or Adobe Reader.
