Hello,

I have A4 paper in my printer.

I have scanned a musical score (portrait mode). I would like that by printing it, the content of the musical score could have a width of 160 mm (portrait mode). How to do it ?

Hi,

In fact, on an A4 page the width is of 210 mm. 

About my scanned page the width between the 2 blue line is of 145 mm when I print it in portrait mode.

I would like that by printing it in portrait mode, the width between the 2 blue lines go from 145 mm to 160 mm.


You will need to scale the pages by 110%, then.

Alternatively, you can zoom in to the section you want printed and then use the Current View option in the Print dialog (under Pages to Print - More Options).

You mean that exact dimension, or d you just want it to fit on the A4 page? If the latter, use the Fit button in the Print dialog of Acrobat. If the former you will need to scale the pages using the Preflight tool.

What size is it currently when you print it to an A4 page?
