Dialog Box too big for my screen

This question has been asked and answered before, but I'm still not able to see the bottom of some dialog boxes.  Below is a screen shot of my attempt to save a document as PDF/A.  I can't get to the "Continue" button.  If I drag the Preflight dialog box, I can see the Continue button, but it dips below the bottom of the screen whenever I let go of the dialog box.  I followed a prior thread's advice to click on that thread's link to "Resolution in dialog box is too large in Acrobat XI" steps.  It did not work.  I then tried the repair installation option then rebooted.  It still did not work.  Any other suggestions?  Thank you.Screenshot (4).png

This is a resizable dialog. Shrink it from the top, then drag it upwards.

++to the correct answer given above.

Once resized and shrink, next time when you will open it dialog box would retain the previous size automatically.

Maybe I'm missing something.  How do I shrink the dialog box from the top?  Thank you.

Like any resizable window... Hover over the top edge of the window, above the title bar, until the up/down arrow appears, then click and drag to resize.

Woops!  I was able to re-size the first dialog box, but for some reason, the next dialog box refuses to be vertically resized.  I can resize it horizontally but the "continue" button remains hidden.  Is this a fluke?Screenshot (5).png

It certainly looks as if your screen is too small. What is your screen resolution and scaling?

Here are some ideas though

- What about moving the box up to the top of the window?

- And making the taskbar auto hide?

More advanced: use Tab, Tab, Tab, Enter. But you'll probably get stuck on the next screen.

Thank you.  I made the task bar auto hid.  That did the trick.

Oops, one of my "desperate last efforts" was wrong. Instead of Tab, Tab, Tab, Enter you would need to click on a radio button, then Tab, Tab, Tab, Spacebar.

This is a scaling by your Windows.

I have a XPS 2in1 with 1920 x 1200 and all Import, Export and Cam Raw Windows have been way to large.

Windows -> Display -> Scaling was at 150%!

I set it to 100% and all is working fine.

Try double-clicking the top of the dialogue box, it should minimize it. If it's taking up almost the whole of the screen, it's on Maximize mode.

 

Alternatively, right-clicking on the part that says "open", should open a dialogue box that should let you minimize.
