New Here ,

I don't know what I have done, but when I print my PDF files some of them print just fine, but others print like I have zoomed in on them. I don't know which setting I have messed with but I cant fix it and it is driving me nuts. SOS!!!!

Hi Emilyf,

When I print my PDF files some of them print just fine, but others print like I have zoomed in on them.

Does it happen with some of the pages of a multi-page PDF file? Or it happens with different files?

Make sure you check the Page Scaling when printing PDF and set to Actual Size-Scale or resize printed pages in Acrobat and Reader

Solution 1: Print using different scaling options-

Solution 2: Print using different paper source options. select "Choose paper source by PDF page size"

Thanks,

Akanchha

This is a great solution, if your file has A4 and A3 pages in and you are printing to a printer having those paper sizes in the drawers.

However, if the printer has A4 paper only, it will stall on the A3 pages asking for paper changes. This is very often a major complaint I get with my users. So try it, but keep this in mind... 😉
