Title: Printing on big paper
Post by: Warren Porter on 2013-02-19 02:57 PM
I would like to create a PDF with the dimensions of 13" by 10"  (33cm x 25cm).  When doing a print setup from the NWC side, what device/option do I choose?

TIA

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_216, B4 seems your best bet. 250mm × 353mm

Which PDF driver are you using for creating PDF files?

I have the Nitro PDF Creator printer driver installed, and besides approximately one gazillion choices of paper size, there is a Custom choice that will let you specify any size you like, English or metric.  I use this driver with NWC all the time, for creating PDF scores that match the aspect ratio of my Android tablet (which I use in my church choir).

This printer driver is part of the free Nitro PDF Reader program.

Thank you, I am trying both options.  I am using "do PDF v7".

See the attachment. Printing the sample file: 1812.nwc gave these results:
Quote
720dpi - 70 pages - 1.19 MB (1,257,806 bytes)
1440dpi - 70 pages - 1.22 MB (1,288,529 bytes)
300dpi - 75 pages - 1.20 MB (1,268,183 bytes)
NoteWorthy has an annoying rounding problem dealing with some combinations of system font size and printer dpi.
