Hello All,

I have about 300 systems with there default printer setting in Acrobat DC set to "fit." I need to change that to "Actual Size." I'm assuming there's a reg setting someplace. Can anybody direct me to that setting? I seem to be unable to find it.

This would be for Windows 7 32bit, Windows 7 64bit, and Windows 10.

Thanks

Eric

Are you talking about setting the default printer size or the default viewing size?

There is also a third option setting for the default viewing size for a given PDF.

Adobe has various Administrative tools for deployment and administration of their product. You might want to search the Adobe.com site for this documentation.

Thanks for the responces,

Sorry I wasn't clearer. When I select print, by either clicking on the printer button or choosing File >Print from the file menu all my print options show up including "Page Sizing & Handling" (screen capture below.) I'm looking for the registry value that changes this from "Fit" to "Acutal Size." I don't want to have to touch every machine, I'm looking for a way to script it, and typically in the past with other applications the registry is the easiest way to make this happen if such a setting exists, but I am certainly open to other options if there is no registry value.

Thanks for the help

OK. In your document Properties dialog, on the Advanced Tab is a Print Dialog section. You can change the scaling opion of that file here to Page Scaling: None.

So that will work for ONE file. I am not at a computer with the software currently, but I bet you could batch this process with Acrobat's Action Wizard tools.

Good luck,

Dave

I'm just looking for a registry setting that I can throw in my login script or push out with psexec. I'm assuming this is just a quick change in the registry. I mean something get's changed, do you know what it is?

'Fit' and 'Actual Size' are View setting, not a print size. Is it possible that your PDFs are outup to the appropriate 100% size, but are being viewed in a different Acrobat/Reader view magnification? Any clarification you can provide could be helpful in troubleshooting.

My best,

Dave
