Actual size set by default in the printing options

Is there any possibility of setting the actual size in the printing options. I know that this option can be managed in the document properties by changing the page scaling to none, but I would like to force it at the workstation level.

As mentioned, you can set the print presets for a document. However, on a system level it wont be possible to do.

For more details you can go through the help article here: Basic PDF printing tasks, Acrobat, Reader

Thanks,

This is a community forum, not a line to Adobe support. Sometimes staff contribute, but there is no formal support. Suggestions here: https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

Even if you talk to support, they cannot commit to any development changes.

This answer makes me want to never use any Adobe product again. I too have been trying to change sizing defaults because I'm tired of having to click through the same sequence every time I want to print a page. The answer given does NOT solve the original poster's request - it simply confirms that it is not possible to do this most basic of things. Worse, still, it offers no apology and no commitment to include this common requirement in an update to the program. All in all, the worst possible attitude to software support. I don't blame the respondent specifically for this; rather it is clearly an example of shoddy policy by Adobe, who should be ashamed of their attitude.
