Printing mixed paper size from a chrome book

Hi - 

How do I configure my printer settings in my chrome book in order to print PDF files with mixed page sizes?  The print setting options in chrome only provides the option to select one paper size at a time.

 

Please advise.

Hi There,

 

Thanks for reporting the issue.

One can select "Choose paper source by PDF page size" checkbox from print dialog once, to print pages with differnet page sizes in a file.

Thanks for your quick reply. I’m attempting to print from my Chromebook and a mobile device and neither provides an option to “Choose paper size by PDF source” option when it comes time to print.

What app for iOS would you recommend that would provide the “Choose paper size by PDF source” print selection?

What is the printer  brand and model that you're trying to print?

Unless you've forced a MS Windows 10 version in that device, what you're probably using is ChromeOS for ARM architechture, which is a fork of the Linux operating system kernel for Android OS xf86 project.

 

If that is the case then we are talking "Acrobat Reader mobile app" not Adobe Acrobat Pro DC.   

 

An ARM based Chromebook cannot run applications that were compiled to run in Intel-based or AMD-based processor architechtures.

 

Please confirm what you're currently using with your hardware.  If you have an ARM-based chromebook with "Windows on Arm" installed you are using Micrososft apps from the MS Store. So you'll be back in square one: Acrobat Reader Mobile app.

 

BONUS  TIP:

 

But If you have an Intel-based Chromebook and you haven't figured yet how to force MS Windows 10 installation in such Chromebooks here is how to :  How to Install Windows 10 on Chromebook 

 

With MS Windows 10 then you have to install a printer driver for your printer brand and model, and configure it to use it with your Win10 operating system

 

Just remember, Chromebooks don't ship with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC (full desktop version) either,  and you can't use Adobe Reader DC (desktop version) in Adroid OS -like  operating systems (nor MS Windows 10 designed for ARM architechture).

 

Just like with every Android device, you'll need to go to the Google Play Store and download the printing app for your specific printing device and the Acrobat Reader mobile app. 

 

Or follow the official Google guidance on how to setup a printer in a Chromebook device: New to Chromebooks --> Set up your printer
