recently when a print a multi page PDF file, the 1st page only is printing to the size of a postage stamp and backwards, but all other pages print regular size. This can't be a settings issue if the others print fine. Please help?!

I have the same issue in 2024. Is there a fix or a setting to change? Printing the PDF from an application other than Adobe Reader is a workaround.

    I would try to print this file from another machine to see if it behaves similarly.  It is possible, perhaps, that your print settings are for 100%,  and the page is actually that small, or there are elements way outside the percieved boundaries of the page, and they want to be included in the print with a fit to printer margin, along with the intending content.  

     

    Any more details you can share might help narrow it down.

     

    My best,

    Dave

      Thanks Dave, the people who send me these files can print it no problem from their PC's and its just the 1st page of any document I am sent - all the other pages print fine. So my settings are as they have always been. I am now having to screen grab the front page and paste into Word to print it. 

      thanks anyway.
