Printing letter and legal size PDF documents

I have a iMac and I'm having issues with printing pdf documents that contain both letter and legal size pages.  The letter size pages print out fine, however, the legal size pages cut off at the bottom of the page.  Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Hi bmac2076,

Sorry for the delay in response.

Could you please check if there is an update available for Acrobat/Reader?

You may also download updates manually from the following links:

For Acrobat: Adobe - Acrobat : For Macintosh

For Reader: Adobe - Adobe Reader : For Macintosh

You may also try changing the following setting under Print and see if that works:

1- While printing, under Print dialogue>select Actual size under Page Sizing & Handling>check the box Choose paper source by PDF page size.

2- Click Printer>press Yes>under Pages>select Paper Handling from the drop down options>check the box Scale to fit paper size and Print

Could you please confirm the version of Acrobat/Reader installed on the machine?

What is the version of OS running on your Mac?

Same issue with imac and xerox versalink c405.  Adobe will not handle mixed legal and letter size in the pdf properly.  Only solution is to print out pages by size in groups, very annoying.  If you use apple preview app you can shrink all pages to letter if you are ok with small fonts.  Preview also has no way to print mixed paper size pdfs.  Not rocket science, could be fixed, flaw should be acknowledged.  Was not an issue with PC when I used to use that platform.
