Page Size

[jsprague]

I'm not sure if this question has been answered anywhere - it looks like the
issue tended to spontaneously resolve for others. When I insert a file like
a pdf file as a printout, it inserts in ON on a smaller scale than the
original document. Sometimes this is okay if I want to take notes all over
it, but often I'd like it to be original size, especially when it is a form
or homework that I need to eventually turn in.
I tried printing a single page document that I wanted to fill out
electronically to ON, then got rid of the header, unselected the footer for
printing, resized the picture several times, but always had multiple pages
want to print. It'd be great if I could figure out how to get them in there
at a letter page size in the first place. I tried selecting "fit to page" in
acrobat and also unselecting it.
I guess it seems like other people have been able to insert a document as a
printout as the "real" size, so thought I'd check into whether I have a
setting wrong or something. I'm pretty frustrated with this document right
now.
But I still love ON and am using it for all of my vet school notes!

I don't think people "resolve the problem." I think they have just given
up. I have had such a difficult time figuring this out that I just resort
to using Journal when I need the resulting document to be the same size
as the original.

Unfortunately not.
As Grant alread said: We have given up.
It does not work.

Handling printed input is one of the truly weak points in ON, the
inability to work with "logical" pages the other.
We won't see any solution for 2007.
