GsView of a PDF

[Robert Baer]

Take the TDK datasheet for their C4532X5R1C226M230KA.
It bloats the scree (easy fix, just "-" a few times).
BUT it is too big to print on ONE sheet of paper.
HOW can one get it to fit?

Works just fine here. Want me to USPS you a copy?

Make a screenshot (press "Print" key), start a picture viewer like
Irfanview, klick "Edit" -> "Paste", then "File" -> "Print" -> mark
"Best fit to page (aspect ratio)" -> "Print": Enjoy!

Which one? Digikey has four alone, and there's probably more on their
website. A direct link would tell us what you're talking about.

I haven't had problems viewing their datasheets in Chrome's built-in PDF
viewer, nor Foxit Reader (which is free, and less buggy and less evil than
Adobe). I haven't tried printing, but I doubt "fit to page" won't do as
it says.

Select "fit to paper" at printing?

I can't get Reader X, or Acrobat 7.0 Professional to open the
datasheet, both say unsupported file type. UltraEdit says it's empty.

E-mail me what you have, sounds like PS and I'll see if I can't
remember how to scale it... used to do it all the time when most
printers were PS.

Ooooops! Found one that I could read... I've E-mailed it to you.

I would rather know how to fit things like this to a page.
In other words, i have the fish; need the hook, line, and frying pan.

Make a screenshot (press "Print" key), start a picture viewer like

* ---------^ does not work in Win2K

Irfanview, klick "Edit" -> "Paste", then "File" -> "Print" -> mark

* All i need is yet another program!

Is there a way to tell GsView "fit to page"? Or tell it to reduce by X%?

All i have is Adobe Reader 4.05 (too old to accept file), and GsView.
Digikey seems to not have datasheets (at least for the TDK caps); try:

Absolutely NO such thing in GsView!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TDK rocks!
"make your own PDF"!
Result is of the older style and Adobe Reader 4.0 is happy.
AND. . . . . . no page fit hassle!
I have bookmarked their MLCC page

Seems to open fine in Acrobat 10 for me, and prints fine. Other than
it being landscape, I don't see anything unusual about it.

It was produced from Excel (why do Asians use Excel as page layout
software?) in Adobe PDFMaker 11 (Japanese version), and should be
compatible with anything after Acrobat 6.0 (PDF V1.5).

Acrobat 6.0 was released more than a decade ago, and your 4.05 is
probably late 20th century software. Acrobat 9 is probably the newest
version that will play with Win2K.

There certainly is in GSview 4.9.

And every older version I've had.

Alternatively, you can "print", to a file, using the pswrite device,
which should give you a pdf 1.4 (Acrobat 5) file, then print from Acrobat.
That actually puts a 1.4 wrapper around the later format. Useful for
people who don't want to install the latest, bloated, Acrobat.

Verified; ver 9.0 is newest.
Screws up my Adobe 4.05 viewer/writer so i ripped it out.
Using GsView 5.0 instead for viewer if the Acrobat reader barfs.

Tried the pswrite; same problem.
But.. here you mentioned a newer GsView version; will try that.
hanks.

OK; i have tried everything.
One: I have GsView ver 5.0 and GhostScript ver 9.10; both the most
recent versions (Win32-bit) i can find and they are written for each other.
Two: That dialog box exists nowhere in GsView; there certainly is no
"fit to page" function in GsView.
Three: If i set GsView to Landscape mode first, then Convert with
pdfwrite at 300DPI (not the default 600DPI that i had been using), then
and only then do i get a document that shows everything (one page).

So, i ask again, where, oh where did that come from?
