Windows 8.1 Laptop, Brother HL-L8260CDW, Adobe Reader DC ver 21.7.20099.454979

I just finished a printing project where I provided 5.5x8.5 booklet sized single pages to a printer for a booklet sized Directory.  I used Powerpoint to do the main portion, with Excel to do a second part.  I have reset everything back to 8.5x11.0 Letter size..... BUT

- When I use PowerPoint, When I do Print Preview of a letter-sized docusment with my Printer slected, it is fin.  If I point to Abobe...  I get a booklet sized image on the letter sized paper.  If I select "Fit to Page", it goes to full size.

- When I use Word (which i did not even use in the project)..  Native Word - Brother printing is fie, but if I point to Adobe, the previw and printout is shrunk to booklet size on letter paper.

- When I use Excel....  not problem!

All three programs, and the printer, and Adobe are set to 8.5x11.0 Letter size paper...  Help!

HI,

 

I am a little confused, you are seeing what I would expect to see, one of PDF's  key features is that the page would look the same on all devices, so I would expect it to print at the booklet size unless you make changes to the print setting ( such as fit to page) to alter how it is printed.

 

Maybe I have mis-understood the problem.
