  • Trouble exporting a large file in pdf to send to a printer

    Posted by Jonathan Wallace on April 8, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    I am having trouble exporting a file from Flexi in a PDF format for emailing to a printer. It seems to be selecting the image but also a large area of the page that has nothing on it. I then get a message saying@The PDF page size has exceeded its limit. Do you want to scale the document. I hit OK. Then ‘Error generating PDF File. Any help would be appreciated.

    maybe there is something else you cant see ie white on white

    try grouping your image first
    then ctrl A (selects All)
    hold the shift key and click your image (now the extra bit you dont wont will be the only bit selected)
    hit delete
    resave file and try again

    I’m not familiar with Flexi, but on some programs if your design is in the middle of a A4 sheet on the screen then you export to PDF then the whole A4 will be part of your file hence lots of white area.

    Yes flexi does that. Make the page size smaller than the image you want to print. I think it does have a size limit as well. You could scale it up on the rip instead.
