Question

PDF cutting off when printing using a macbook pro

I just installed adobe reader on my macbook pro and need to print a mix of legal and letter sized documents. I never had trouble on my PC but on the mac it cuts off the top and bottom of the legal pages. I downloaded the correct printer driver with no change. I also followed some other suggestions made. Nothing seems to help. Will I not be able to use adobe on my mac to print documents correctly?

Thank you,

Celena Casarotto

    In Addition

    Can you also share the screenshot of the printing page, how exactly it looks? In the Oct release of Acrobat/Reader printing issue was reported. But later on this issue was fixed in further release in version.

    Hello,

    Here is the screen shot of the pdf viewer printing page and the scaling. It will print the legal document on legal paper but cut off the top or bottom of the page.

    Thank you,
