Occasionally, you get a pdf which is not the right size (too small). Whe I zoom it and try to print, I can't seem to get the settings to print to the desired size, it seems rto just print the original size of the pdf in viewer. Is there a way around this?

I dont know but I would also be very interessted to know if this can be done, as I often need such a feature.

Also how is it poosible to print multiple copies of a pdf, I wasn't able to do that when printing from Apdf.

Any hints?

Multiple printout:
I save the printout as postscript-file and send it then multiple directly to my PS-printer (useing a small shell-script which sends the file x times to the printer.....).

If you print via TP (not directly to a PS-printer):
There is also a possibility to set number of gfx-copies in TP-prefs, but I don't know how, or if this influences the PS-output of TP.........never tried - maybe this will have no effect.....

I can confirm changing the number of copies in TurboPrint prefs does affect the number of times the file is printed. It worked on OS3.9 and it works with MOS 2.4.

The 'Zoom' slider in APDF does not seem to make any difference here, either. You could always use Ghostscript (I use the GUI) to convert to an iff, then crop and print from there.

@Amigaharry2

it would be to ps only. Could you tell where to get that script please, so I can setup an automation with an f-key or so in the meantime that such is directly added to e. g. Apdf or other applications...

This script I wrote myself....it is easy to do.....(AREXX)!
I am not at home now - will look for it an post it....

The AREXX-Script:

/* Printprogram */

say 'AREXX-Script for multiple printout!'; say
say 'Filename and how many times:'
Parse pull Filename k

do i = 1 to k
address command 'copy' Filename 'to PAR:' ; say
say 'Sheet Nr.:' i 'done!'
end
say 'Ready!'
/*End*/

Change PAR: to your approperiate devicename (eg PS: for TP, etc.).....
Start with rx <Script>.
