Printing Comments w/ Drawings on 11x17 in LANDSCAPE

I have a set of drawings in PDF on 11x17 page size in LANDSCAPE which has electronic comments. All I am trying to do is print out the dang drawings in the same orientation in 11x17 LANDSCAPE w/ the corresponding comments numbered on an 11x17 sheet in landscape directly after it? Geez this is way more difficult than it needs to be, can anyone help me please??!! Every single stupid setting I've changed results in the drawing being a postage stamp size image where I can't see any dang thing. I would say hundreds of millions of people worldwide provide electronic comments on 11x17 drawings on a regular day, why is such a common task so damn difficult?

Thanks but I did all of this already before my post.. The problem is that despite my choosing an 11x17 page size the stupid software only allows me to print an 11x17 sheet in PORTRAIT view, not LANDSCAPE, which shrinks all of the pages to less than half their original size which means I can't see any damn thing.. It is the dumbest thing ever and when I choose ledger which should be 17x11 page size it prints the plan sheets in landscape view but cuts half the page off.. What piece of crap software, or maybe I'm asking for too much or missing something?

Wow, dang you're right. That not good. But I have a workaround for you. Apparently, even though half the drawing is cut off after you create the comment summary, you can select the objects with the Edit tool and just scoot them over. Of course, you'll have to do it on every drawing page, but it works.

Sorry for all your frustration.
