Adjusting Margins when printing in Booklet mode

[jamesb9908071]

Margins are too wide when printing a booklet, causing the font size to be too small.  How do I adust?  The margin setting seems to be greyed out.

thanks

Hi Jamesb9908071,

Is it with a particular document or with all files?

Margin settings can't be adjusted during print as each printer has its specific margin set.

its printer specific issue where in some specific printer you can adjust the margin but not in all.

you can try the steps mention below to see if that helps-

• Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader.
• Click "File" on the main menu bar and choose "Print."
• Open the drop-down menu next to "Print Scaling" and choose "None."
• Click "OK."

Regards,

Akanchha

The problem relates to all booklet documents. The margins are printer specific and can't be adjusted. Therefore it makes no sense to let the printer dictate the margins and thereby the scale of the printout.

I would prefer an option to print booklets at full scale (disregarding the printer margins). To address the issue of printer margins I leave an empty "safety margin" around the content instead.

Did you find a way around this? I am having the same issue... It seems to be mainly the top and bottom margins that are too large for me. Makes everything too small for people without perfect vision to read! I tried to make the print larger in my work doc before creating the pdf, but it doesn't help that much.

No, I haven't found a solution. For some reason, ordinary pages can be printed at full scale but not booklets.

What if I don't see a "Print Scaling" option. BUMP!

That's the same problem I face.

I tried printing some notes , but the margins are just on the wrong side of the booklet . I need them to be away from the edge to be stapled. Please guide me if someone knows.

Hi, did you find the solution for this I'm having the same issues 😞

As a workaround you can use the crop pages option: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/acrobat/using/crop-pdf-pages.html

You can reduce/eliminate margins using Print Production  - Set Page Boxes and check the box Remove White Margins. In the PAge Range box, select All.

OMG this worked! Thank you so much!

What UkiahJapaneseSmokehouse said! Thank you so much TexinAgoura!

Worked Perfectly.  Thank you.  Sheet Music format is taller than the traditional ratios for US paper izes - eliminating margins at top and bottom is essential for booklet printing.

DIdn't work for me. margins way wider than the printed material.

This worked great to make my margins smaller and the font larger.  However, I am printing in a booklet and I want a small margin for the binding (just not near as big as it was).  If I Remove White Margins, I can't seem to adjust the margin to add a small one back in. I keep using the Crop feature to try to adjust the size of the CropBox, the BleedBox and whatever other box, but it just isn;t giving me what I want.  I want the larger font that I get from Removing the White Margins but I want to still be able to add a small margin.  Any ideas?

By far the best way, in Windows, when printing the PDF, instead of selecting your hard printer, select "Microsoft Print to PDF". When using this option, select "Fit" and don't specify booklet. You will then create a PDF whose name you can choose, in any folder you specify.

Open this new PDF, and print the booklet in the normal way, to your normal printer. You should find that the unwanted margins diappear. This works in Adobe Reader and Pro.
