I downloaded it and my daughter wanted to read it again and again, but I see the page size is larger than my printer prints (A4 maximum). Is the file designed so that you can only view it online, or is there a way of resaving it in a smaller format? Thanks for your help anyone who knows. Kerryn, I don't know this particular book but I do know book trim sizes. (I design books) A4 is a standard trim size in Europe and elsewhere outside of the US. You could try allowing the book to print even though you get the warning that some of the image will be outside the print area -- if you printer is capable of this. I'm assuming that you've opened a PDF file. If that is the case then you might be able to set your printer to " fit to page " thus reducing the page size slightly and automatically. If all of this is too complex or your printer cannot handle it, please email me the link and the name of the book. I am stting here between a Mac and an IBM, flanked by 2 printers (legal and tabloid size), a scanner and a fax machine. With all this techology surrounding me, I am sure that I could adjust the size for you, or simply print it on my large format printer and mail it off to you. If you want me to send it to you, email me off-list with your snail mail address and the details. Best -- Jill Best -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Dear Barbara and Jill, Thanks very much for your suggestions and offers of help. I went into my printer settings and found I could select " Reduce/Enlarge Document " by Output Paper Size - when I selected that, it printed the pages to fit on my A4 paper! I just finished printing it all up and gave it to - she is suitably impressed to have her very own book about an elephant with hearing aids! Even though she was aided at 12 months, she can still relate to the story, especially the part where they squirt green goop in the ears for impressions! I'll have to download the " Oliver gets an FM " book next as we are picking up 's new hearing aids and MicroLinks next week! She currently uses a corded Solaris unit but we are looking forward to going cordless! Thanks again for your help. Take care, Kerryn Re: Two questions > > In a message dated 7/26/2004 7:41:38 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > kerrynperry@... writes: > > Is it possible to print the Oliver book?
