Print 8.5x11 construction plans on 11x17

[Dustin250462713zio]

I need to print construction plans on 11x17 but every time I try, it only fills up about 40% of the page. The page size in advanced settings is 8.5 x 11 and I cant seem to change it. I am concerned with manual scaling (zoom) as well becuase these plans will be used on road construction so the scaling of the actual document needs to remain accurate.

If you change your print scaling to Auto, that enlarge theprintout of the document so that it fills the 11x17 page.

If you have your printer driver set for 8.5 X 11, you should be able to select the Size>Fit feature, and your larger-sized pages will be reduced to fit the printer's defined print area of a page.

I find this lang-standing feature of Acrobat indispensable - have been using it regularly for years. I hope this solution fits your need.

My best,

Dave

I may have gotten the dimensions for the doc/print scenario backwards, but the solution should still work - Fit to the selected printer print should reduce or expand the output.
