Pages not printing in the scale and page size I set

Question

Hello, I have been trying to print a booklet through Acrobat Reader. I am using Acrobat Reader version 2021.005.20058 on a Macbook Air. The document I am trying to print is in the size 8.5 x 11 inches, but I am printing on 8.5 x 13 in paper. So, through "page setup," I set the scale to 110% and set the paper size to 8.5 x 13 in. The preview being shown to me reflects these settings, however, when I actually print it, the scale looks like it is only 100% and looks like it was set for a 8.5 x 11 in paper size. What went wrong and how do I fix it?

Hi Gailc

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you have set the page dimension to 8.5x13, however on printing the PDF it gets printed as 8.5x11.

Would you mind sharing the steps you did to change the page size?

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is a freeware application with limited functions and it is used for viewing, reading , annotating and fill and sign the PDF files. For more information please check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/reader/faq.html

Additional Information: The option to change the page size is available with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (Paid subscription) to know how you may check the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/Change-PDF-page-size-in-MAC.html
