MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / February 2004Page size on web site for printing
Hi I have a monthly events calendar on an A4 page which i can put on my web site fine [text & graphics]. However, when someone goes on-line and tries to print it, it requires 6 or 7 pages rather than printing on just 1 page. What do i need to do to my cal before i up-load it so that it will print on 1 page. http://mande.port5.com/ Page created using Front Page Using pub 2000 to create the cal Martin ©¿©¬ REMOVETHIS to reply I would leave it showing on your web page but make it a downloadable pdf file.

Thanks Don But I know most of my contacts don't know/have/use pdf, i've tried to send them .pdf before and they couldn't open it I was thinking about a jpeg or gif so as they could just print it Martin ©¿©¬ REMOVETHIS to reply Whenever you offer a pdf file it would be helpful if you stated it takes the FREE Adobe Reader to display it. Also, you could provide reference to the download site and/or include the Adobe icon link. pdf is the accepted means to share documents... Everybody has the means to get it. It's a must have and readily available. There is a burden on the provider of the pdf file -- S/he needs a program to create it. Most folks don't need the very spendy Adobe Acrobat. An excellent substitute, PDF-XChange does a great job and can be obtained at: http://www.docu-track.com/ If interested in seeing some Publisher 2000 files that have been converted to pdf format you are invited to visit our lodge site at: http://www.tinyurl.com/wifs Turn to the Il Messaggio Archive page. Click on any underscored date. While there, click on a song and enjoy the visit. Files created in 2004 are PDF-XChange version 3.0. Prior years are version 2.5.

But how do i make the Adobe icon image stick, it appears on my web page as [Ad Image] I'm fairly new to all this and I'm using Front Page to design my page Martin ©¿©¬ The way I added the Adobe Reader icon (link) was to find it, right click on it, go to the web page under construction, right click, paste. One place the Adobe Reader icon link can be found at the bottom of the Il Messaggio Archive page is: http://www.tinyurl.com/wifs Ciao, Don > >Whenever you offer a pdf file it would be helpful if you stated it takes the > >FREE Adobe Reader to display it.

Even if you make the page a fixed width at a mere 700 pixels wide it can still vary widely by browser. As a web designer if you think the page needs to be printed it is best to provide a means, and as Don pointed out that is widely .pdf. As a web visitor the best results are typically achieved by going into the browsers print setup and setting it to landscape mode and changing all margins to the smallest value the browser allows.
