Question

Center Acrobat printing after scaling

I regularly bind pages printed from Acrobat and need to create a left hand margin.  I printed at 95% scale and that created a wide right hand margin.  How can I center or create left hand margin.  I guess I could just print upside down but must be a better solution.

      Hi,

       

      I just want to add that if you're using Adobe Acrobat Pro you may try these two suggestions:

       

      • With your document opened with Acrobat Pro, export it back to its original source file, like MS Word for example. Then inspect the document using the MS Word Accessibility checker and see if there are any unnecessary macros or templates that you suspect could be the problem. Fix it and instead of using the PDF Maker toolbar addon in MS Word close the Word document and open it directly with Acrobat Pro. Let Acrobat Pro convert it to PDF and see if you are able to preview and print your pdf document correctly
      • The other suggestion is to open the current misbehaving Pdf document with Acrobat Pro, right click on the page(s) to bring up the Page Properties context menu, then select from the Page Properties tab "Use document structure", and click OK. Save and exit. Reopen the document and check if you are able to preview and print this document correctly
