Cannot adjust margins in Acrobat Reader X

Hi,

I cannot adjust margins in Acrobat Reader X. Margins are greyed out. I cannot find where to change this. Everytime we print a document it is shrinked because of the margins. A workaround for the moment is to print the documents as pictures. Is there any way to reset margins to 0?

Thise fields don't work in Acrobat X and Adobe Reader X (it's a bug). Instead, change the page scaling to "none" so your page prints at true size, irrespective of the margin values - assuming of course it's designed for the same size of paper you're printing on. You'll still be limited by the hardware margins of your printer though.

I successfully adjusted the page margins after I had imported/typed 2 pages of text into a new acrobat file by clicking onto an icon (on the far right corner (perhaps) typing toolbar. The icon looked like a four crossing lines which cut each other at the ends. I cannot recheck the same since I've uninstalled that ver 9).

The dialogue simply gave me options to adjust margins just like Ms Word!

If indeed you need some more clarification, just PM me/let me know and I'll try to send you some more info.

You can’t adjust margins. Only page scaling.

I also have this problem since upgrading to Adobe Acrobat Reader X. I am using a HP Photosmart 8150 inkjet printer and running Windows Vista.

Thanks David. It removed the margins, but it compresses the font in the print. When printing as "picture" the output is as expected. Attached two pictures. I know they are a little fuzzy. But it should be possible to see what happening to the text. It gets compressed in some way. BTW, it is no problem with Adobe Reader 9.
