Similar incidents have occurred frequently, with clients using Acrobat 5 (full version) and Acrobat Reader 5.x, on Mac OS 9.x. Looking at the printed Illustrator piece, the client remarked that Acrobat had persisted in printing the PDF at a reduced size, even with the option "shrink large pages" unchecked - and anyway, the document was not an "oversize page", it was precisely letter-size to start with. After some fruitless manuevering (such as telling them to turn off the "fit to page" print options), I finally sent them the Illustrator file with the fonts, which proceeded to print perfectly. In the Settings section, click the paper size drop-down and select a size from the Usable Paper Sizes. They responded that it would not print "centered" on the page. Go to File > Print, select 4 Pages Per Sheet print comes out with all four pages printed on one sheet, but the sheet is in portrait orientation which means the text has been reduced extra small with lots of white-space around the pages no option to print page in Landscape 2. If you want to print your publication on a different size of paper for example, to create a bleed or to print multiple pages on one sheet change only the paper size. I sent it as a PDF to the client so that I would not have to send them the half-a-dozen font files. The Default option in the Page Scaling pop-up menu is Shrink To Printable Area. Select options for the Print Dialog Presets. It was designed so that all elements were within the printable area for the page setup of the target printer. Choose File > Properties, and click the Advanced tab. But above and beyond protesting this as a bad design decision, my complaint is that it applies this behavior inappropriately.įor example, I just created an invitation layout, to be printed 4-up on a letter-size sheet. ![]() ![]() ![]() Have heard from clients that "the label layout doesn't fit the sheet" or "the logo prints too small", just because of this inane behavior. After going to all that trouble to preserve fonts and precise layout, it then defaults to printing the layout the "wrong" size. You can resize the 8-1/2 x 11 document down to a size that will actually fit entirely in the printable area of the paper. Note that this is no longer under Format > Page, but under Format > Page Style. I can't figure out why Acrobat defaults to "shrink oversize pages" and "enlarge small pages" when printing. You can print your 8-1/2 x 11 document directly on to the 8-1/2 x 11 paper, and risk cutting off from view the edges of whatever is presented in the PDF. set Format -> Page -> Tab: Sheet -> Category: Scale -> Option: Scaling Mode -> Drop Down: Fit print range (s) on number of pages -> Option: Number of Pages: -> Value: 1.
