Hello all:
I have created a receipt as a *.pdf that I need to send to a special
printer (you have seen them attached to POS terminals at your favorite
coffee shop). I have sized the *.PDF to the correct size (3" x 6")
and can see it if I look at the *.pdf properties. However, the *.pdf
is printing out at 11", not 6". Is there a way to insert an
end-of-file marker through iText in order to indicate 6" rather than 11"?
Hmm... very strange question, revealing a lack of understanding of PDF.
There's an end-of-file marker %%EOF, but that indicates that a revision
of a file is ended. If there is more than one %%EOF marker, you either
have a Linearized PDF file, or a PDF that has been appended.
The size of a page is defined in the /MediaBox entry of the page
dictionary. If the properties show the correct size, than the /MediaBox
has been defined correctly.
However: if the PDF is printed differently, you should look at the
viewer or at the application that is printing the PDF:
- are you using the correct printer driver?
- is the printer able to print the format you requested?
- is there any scaling going on?
For instance: the #1 reason why measurements on paper aren't equal to
the measurements that were expected is that people forgot to set the
PrintScaling to NONE: writer.addViewerPreference(PdfName.PRINTSCALING,
PdfName.NONE);
In any case: if the properties are correct, the PDF file is not to
blame, nor its producer; look at the other soft- and hardware that is
involved (the viewer, the printing app, the printer driver, the printer).
