Registry setting is updated and Adobe Print Preview is proper as per updated registry setting but still print result is not updated as per registry setting.

This Fit to option only get in effect when i open Adobe Reader DC and print any file with fit to size settig then only it works.

please guide for this issue, how can i update Adobe Reader DC print setting to consider Fit to size option while actual printing.

Note: Here i am using command line printing.

Thanks

Also: be sure you are using Acrobat or Reader in a normal interactive session; not a background task, service and definitely not on a server.

I think this is by design. The print command line is not a developer facility for general use, it is simply how the Windows Shell "print" verb is implemented for simplest convenient use. For more control consider using the printparams object in JavaScript, through the VB:JavaScript API. This is NOT available in the free Reader, only Acrobat.

So wan't there any option in Adobe Reader DC to Print file with AutoSize option ? with out that VB API ?

How can i say Adobe DC to print file with Fit To Option ONLY, as registry setting is not working here.

Thanks

I think Adobe would have planned that you cannot use this sort of automation without paying for software. All the APIs exist as a marketing tool only. Your end users would each need to license Acrobat, that's Adobe's plan.
