Print PDF reduced and centered (or right-aligned)

[Loud275249319fl2]

I have a PDF that prints format-filling on A4 (i.e. without a border).

I want to have it scaled down and printed with a 25mm binding margin on the left.
I can reduce the size with Adobe, but unfortunately the reduced output then shifts to the top left corner, so nothing is gained.
Does anyone know a trick how to get this centered?
Since I print duplex, it would be ideal if the text were right-aligned on odd pages and left-aligned on even pages, but generally centered would be fine too.
It is an instruction manual. I don't have access to the source file.

Thanks ...

Hi @Loud275249319fl2,

Hope you are doing well. Per the description, I understand that you want to add borders to your document and scale it down.

Would you mind giving the thread a try and check if this helps: Solved: A question about page borders in PDF

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you, but the referenced thread was of no help.

Meanwhile I found, that Edge - when used as a PDF viewer - centers scaled down documents on the printout. 

So I found a solution, but it does not involve Adobe Reader.
