Default Page Numbers in Frame cropping when PDFing


I have an issue where on landscape pages I have page numbers in frames I put them along the side, rotate the text, so that its still in the same position at the bottom of the page when printed. Upon updating to Office 2010 I've noticed that it is starting to cut off part of the Page number, with 2003 if it said 20-13, it would pdf accurately and show that page number, now with 2010 when I pdf it will just show 20-. Oh, and both cases I'm using Acrobat X. I have found a manual way of fixing this issue by changing the size and width from auto and making it a little bit bigger, but this is a pain to do on large reports. Has anyone run into this issue and found a better way of fixing this?

Thanks

Hi JO'BN,

Rather than using a frame, I'd be inclined to use a single-celled borderless table whose row height & column width is set for auto sizing and no text wrapping.

Thanks for the response but thats not really a feasible option, its been done this way for a long time and over 100's of reports that get updated and modified every year, way to much effort to change it in all of them.

Hi JO'BN,

Whichever way you go, you're going to have to invest a similar amount of effort. You should be able to automate the process with vba, though, either as a once-off process for all documents, or on a per-document basis as the documents are opened for editing/printing.

Thats a good point, I think I'm still hopeful to figure out what changed between 2003 and 2010 and figure out how to make it go back to pdfing as it was, that would be the least amount of effort...but I'm not having much luck so that may be an option worth considering. Thanks!

So I'm now trying to figure out how to go about doing this, I'm not having much luck so far, this is a little more complicated of a macro then I've done. Any suggestions?

I was trying to find a way to modify all the frames in the document (they are only used for page numbers) and just make them slightly larger, and this would solve the problem, but I can't figure out how to access it...

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

So far I am able to setup a macro that modifies the frame size, I just need to figure out how to select the frame or page number, it works once I've selected.

Hi JO'BN,

try siomething based on the following:
Code:
Sub FilePrint()
If Application.Dialogs(wdDialogFilePrint).Show = -1 Then Call ChkPageNoFormat
End Sub
 
Sub ChkPageNoFormat()
Dim Sctn As Section, oHdFt As HeaderFooter, oShp As Shape
With ActiveDocument
  For Each Sctn In .Sections
    For Each oHdFt In Sctn.Footers
      With oHdFt
        If .LinkToPrevious = False Then
          On Error Resume Next
          For Each oShp In .Range.ShapeRange
            With oShp.TextFrame
              If .HasText Then
                .WordWrap = False
                .AutoSize = True
                .MarginBottom = 1
                .MarginLeft = 1
                .MarginRight = 1
                .MarginTop = 1
              End If
            End With
          Next
        End If
      End With
    Next
  Next
End With
End Sub
