Can I set a PDF to always print on legal size paper?

Report · Feb 23, 2016

I'm working with Acrobat 9.0 Pro on a PC. I'd like to be able to set my PDF documents to always default to legal size paper when printing. The problem is that a lot of my clients aren't all that tech-savvy and have trouble either setting or remembering to choose Legal as the paper size. So it would be a great benefit to be able to pre-determine that for them in the PDF file settings.

Traditionally, I think paper size for printing is set in the printer's settings even if they're accessed through Acrobat's Print dialog. But I was hoping that there might be some kind of override.

Thanks to anyone that can help!

Hi buppdr80,

Please provide the exact dot version of the software & OS installed at your system .Also check whether is there any update available for the software after going through "help > check for updates "

Follow this thread to reset the preferences for the Acrobat software :- How to reset Preference settings in Acrobat.

Also would request you to please check with the Admin rights on the system.If its a office system please check with IT .

If your document size is legal than you can set the print default paper size.

With the document open,

File > Properties > Advanced tab

Toggle "Paper Source by Page Size"
