Question

Save Presets and printing on different formats

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro DC on a Mac and was trying to print on 11 x 17 and Letter size. On "Preview" for Mac I am able perfectly to save different setups depending on the size of paper and color or Black and white. I am using a Ricoh Aficio MP C2050 printer. I can't do it on Acrobat. When I try to set up the size of paper, it prompts me a text saying "The Page Setup dialog box is provided by the operating system. To ensure that you can use the full print capabilities of Acrobat Pro, please set all print options from the Application print dialog box. Do you want to continue?" I am choosing the size of paper, and it is not printing on that paper that I selected, and also I don't see a way of saving as presets once it works. Need help! "Preview" for Mac seems to be working better than Acrobat.

Full page printing options are a part of the printer's side.

If the printer can print full size, Ricoh should provide you a driver for this printer, if not, it is correct not allow full size printing.

Apple Preview is not to recommend as it does support only a subset of Acrobat's functionality and you might end up with a totally messed PDF view or print. Avoid this mess.

Thank you for your response. I am trying to change the page size in the print dialog, I click "Size" but don't see a way of changing the size of the page anywhere. There is only a "Page Setup" box at the bottom which if I click it takes me to a Page Setup many which is "provided by the operating system" (See screenshot)

I do installed the driver for the printer.

And when I change the page setup on that menu that opens provided by the Operating system Acrobat does not print properly on the size I am configuring there.

That means, nothing you can do, as using a different printer. This is a given parameter.
