pdf in email shows 147%. when I change to "fit to page" or to 100% it still prints 147%. now what? HP support indicates it is the Adobe Reader problem not theirs.

Print options in Acrobat:

FIT: Fits what ever you want to print to the page size you selected to the useful print size (if your printer prints with a border, it fits to this border)

ACTUAL SIZE: Prints your design at design size (100%) regardless of the page size.

SHRINK: Assures printing the whole document on the print size, shrinking only if the document is to big.

CUSTOM SCALE: Your choice of a print size.

If, however, your printer applies additional scaling that is not communicated to Acrobat by the printer driver, then those scaling factors are applied too!
