Wondering if anyone has had problems recently printing to A3 size from Acrobat. We use Acrobat all the time and it's been printing any size from A5 to SRA3 on our printer fine. Some update has occured and it now refuses to print any size bigger than A4. To say it's frustrating is an understatement. We've been in contact with the supplier of the printer and they cannot re-create the issue we have, it prints fine from any other program just not Acrobate. Please help!
The new version of Adobe Acrobat (23.01.20143), addressing this issue is now available. Please update the application from the Help menu > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Hi there
Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble.
Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.
What is 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 22.2.20191 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.
What happens when you try to print the PDF file to A3 page size? Do you get any error message? If yes, please share the screenshot of the same for a better understanding. A small video recording of the same would be very helpful.
We have the latest version of Acrobat. But it's ALL pdfs, bigger than A4 that we're having problems with. We simply cannot print any bigger than A4.
I've tried printing A3 on another printer and that prints ok. All the drivers we have with the one we cannot print A3 to are up-to-date and their tech team have tried to re-create the problem but cannot. Again, we can print A4 but nothing bigger.
We have to inport the pdf and print direct from InDesign or Illustrator to get round the problem. It's simply very frustrating. I'll try and do a video/screenshot.
Has there been any resolution to this problem? I still cannot print A3 pdfs from adobe and have tries a host of things (repair install, updates, reinstall printers and drivers etc).

We are sorry to hear that. What happens when you try to print to A3 size, do you get any error message? If yes please share the screenshot of the same for more clarity?
What is the make and model of the printer? please check for any missing/pending printer updates and try updating it.

We are sorry to hear that, We would need the print logs to further narrow down the investigation.
