recently when a print a multi page PDF file, the 1st page only is printing to the size of a postage stamp and backwards, but all other pages print regular size. This can't be a settings issue if the others print fine. Please help?!

I would try to print this file from another machine to see if it behaves similarly.  It is possible, perhaps, that your print settings are for 100%,  and the page is actually that small, or there are elements way outside the percieved boundaries of the page, and they want to be included in the print with a fit to printer margin, along with the intending content.  

 

Any more details you can share might help narrow it down.

 

My best,

Dave

Thanks Dave, the people who send me these files can print it no problem from their PC's and its just the 1st page of any document I am sent - all the other pages print fine. So my settings are as they have always been. I am now having to screen grab the front page and paste into Word to print it. 

thanks anyway.

I have the same issue in 2024. Is there a fix or a setting to change? Printing the PDF from an application other than Adobe Reader is a workaround.

this worked for us:

 

When a PDF file is printed from Adobe Acrobat with the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" paper option enabled within the Print window, the first page printed will be a thumbnail in the upper left corner of the document that is rotated 180 degrees. Additional pages will print correctly; it is only the first page that is incorrect.

This is not an issue with the printer, drivers or software.

  1. In the PDF document, select Print] from the File menu.

  2. Make sure the [Choose Paper Source By PDF Page Size] option is not selected.

  3. Click [OK].
