I'm trying to change the default Print Scale (from 70% to 100%) in Acrobat Pro DC for Mac (2015 release on OS X El Capitan) but cannot work out where to do this.  Any help would be much appreciated.

‌Acrobat doesn't have a print scale percentage. Just the fit to page option.

Thanks,  but in the Print popup box just above the document preview box you can see "Scale: x%" and to change this you need to open Page Setup to then change the % from it's default.  It's that default that I'm trying to change but have no idea where to find.

doesn't seem to matter what combination of page size, paper size, and page scaling options I choose it always comes up at 70% but no worries,  thanks for your help all the same.  Cheers,


If it always comes up as showing 70% something seems wrong. Maybe Acrobat is showing the wrong number. Changing the page scaling options should normally make a small difference. And page size is not an option exactly.

Please give us some specifics. Pick one example and give us these three things:

* The paper size (from printer setup)

* The page size (as shown by Acrobat if you hover in the bottom left of the page BEFORE going to print)

* The page scaling options
