Question

Acrobat Reader: How to set default paper sizes for different printers on macOS

I've two printers, HP desktop A4 size and a Zebra thermal label printer for label printing 4"x6". In Acrobat Reader, I'm not able to set the default paper size for these printers separately and I've to manually select paper sizes whenever I switch/select a printer.

 

When I select HP printer it should select A4 size by default and when I select Label printer it should select 4"x 6" paper size by default.

 

I don't think it is a system settings and not Acrobat reader settings as it works for me on all macOS Apps, Microsoft Apps except Acrobat Reader. 

 

There is a discussion on SE which will give more insight into this issue

I've already seen that reply. Adobe PDF doesn't show on Settings -> Printers & Scanners dialog on my mac.

Hi there

 

Would you mind sharing the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version, go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 23.06.20360 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

 

Also, a small video recording would be beneficial for more clarity of the issue.
