Question

hi, here's an odd thing I bumped into: what I cannot solve is when I want to print a PDF file on 50% in portrait format, automatically the content to be printed starts in hte top left corner whilst I do want to have the content to be printed centered. Selecting 'Auto' under orientation in the print dialogue box, the print out will be centered, but with some pages in landscape, some pages in portrait format.

 

So, how to adjust print settings in a way that in the portrait orientation printing modus the scaled content will be centered in the printed output?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

What is the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version, go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 23.01.20143 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also, try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082

You may also try to create a new test user profile with full admin rights in Win or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

 

 

Let us know how it goes

Thanks Amal, but not working in all PDF's I tried, with latest version installed.

 

On this note, for some months Adobe PDF is kind of headache. When shutting macPowerbook down, with latest OS running, Adobe PDF has every now and then to be 'forced quit' and if Adobe PDF application is running it is interfering with external back up disk and allowing to not run backups.

 

Would be nice to have these kind of hiccups uncomplicated running as I am paying a monthly fee for  this 'professional' software.

Thanks

Hi there

 

Would you mind collecting the Adobe CC logs https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html , Pprint logs https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/collect-print-logs-for-acrobat.html  and share them via any cloud storage. Just upload the log file to the cloud, generate the link, and share that link with us for further investigation.

Regards
Amal
