change print margins

[bastianbruun]

I have a PDF with more that one page.

The pages have tabs, so when printing duplex, I need to adjust left margin on all odd pages to ensure, that the pages are printed correct when the tabs are 'cut out'.

In Acrobat Pro it was possible to ajust margins on alle left or all right pages; where can I find this feature in Acrobat DC ?

(any alternatives will be welcome)

Adjusting when creating the PDF is unfortunatly not an option 😞

Thanks again, but I haven't found it - or it don't work?  (I use a Danish version of DC, so it is called somthing else.) 

And I dont want to resize the content, just move it 15 mm to the right 🙂

You can use the crop tool at Tools > Edit PDF

Thanks Bernd, - but well, not really.. 😞

The problem is, that I only want to adjust margins on left or right pages, not both.

Cropping - and other things I have tried - affects all pages, not just odd or even. And I need to move (extend left margin) on all left pages to ensure, that the duplex print will position the content right, when I cut out the tabs afterwords.

I have tried the tools in 'Set side boxes'? ( in Danish 'Indstil sidebokse'). But it simply not changes anything.

The actual PDF is combined of app. #140 files, each containing either a left og right page.

The feature were in the old Adobe Acrobat Pro, but I haven't found it in Acrobat DC - and have not saved a copy of Acrobat Pro.

You can use the crop tool for odd pages only.

Look at Page Range:

Thanks again - that is just where I have tried, but it either had no effect at all - or unpredictable effects.

Must give it another try with a 'fresh' PDF file. 

I will report here if I get it to work - or opposite..

It helped, using a fresh PDF file and trying one step at a time.

The rest is just to puzzle with the millimeters to hit the right adjustment.  🙂

Thank you for at very fast reaction to my question.
