How to set printer settings for Adobe PDF documents?

New Here ,
Mar 13, 2019 Mar 13, 2019

Is there someway of dictating what print settings people have when they print a PDF, either from Chrome or within Adobe Acrobat Reader? For example, one document looks much better if people tick the Scale: fit to page option, or in another example, if they print to A3 instead of A4.

Cheers,

Mark

Publishers are using Adobe Acrobat Pro X

Readers are using Adobe Acrobat only as a standalone piece of software or from within Google Chrome.

No, there is no way in the PDF file format to specify a requirement for how a PDF file is printed. And even if there was, you would be at the mercy of various PDF readers to actually enforce such a specification. Sorry!

Are you working on a way to do this? Seems stagnent of Adobe to take a suck-it up approach without a work around.
