Acrobat Reader 'poster' option greyed out

[Patricia M5FFC]

Hey all, 

I'm trying to print a sewing pattern from acrobat reader, which has to be printed as tiles using the poster page sizing option. But when I go to print, the 'poster' button is greyed out and I can't click on it. I've got the latest version and everything and the file is specifically meant to be printed this way. Any advice?

Thanks!

I am with you. I am so incredibly angry that I will hop on your comment to vent. These scammy, skeezy companies love milking us all dry for subpar service and a lack of new, legitimately useful features. Instead, they will just hide all the old features behind a paywall! I really encourage every single person who looks at this thread to stop wasting your money and stop using Adobe. If you keep giving them money, they will continue making their services worse and worse yet somehow hiking the price up! Money talks; use your voice!

meant to reply to a previous commenter, but the sentiment stands.

This was the only reason to have this application installed on my computer.

If it is truly disabled for only the free version, this is misleading and scammy. Not the first time Adobe has done this to me

I found the answer. Adobe does not currently support this in new macbook versions, as indicated when you go to Advanced Settings. It didn't work for me even when I bought the full product. 

The workaround I found is installing an OLD VERSION of Acrobat Reader. 

STEPS
1. Uninstall/Remove all adobe reader/DC from your mac
2. Go here and select Version 10.14 https://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions 

3. Download, Install. Reset your computer if need be.

4. Yay, it works.
