Hello! 

 

I have my default print settings to letter, when I go open adobe acrobat pro and need to print 8.5x14, I select "Choose paper source by PDF size" and am using a non-defulat printer. However, upon closing and trying to quick print another file to my default printer, the printer is still choosing source by size instead of just printing on letter like it has done in the past. this causes issuces becuase 1) my default printer doesnt have legal, and 2) I dont want it on legal. Thoguht on how to fix this? it just started recently. (probably after I was finally able to fix the crassing issue)

This description is confusing.

What is your OS and version? What is your Acrobat and version?

 

Do you close Acrobat in between?
