Left Align PDF

Hi
Does anyone know if it is possible to shift the entire contents of a PDF over to the left?
Is there some sort of way of left aligning the whole document?
I have taken a PDF document, which I have scaled down to 80%, but it keeps the document in the center, and I would like it so that the document is scaled down and moved to the left, so all the white-space is at the right hand side, to allow for some annotation after its been printed out
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mick1986,
You're using the scaling function of your printer to scale the document, is that correct? If so, where the scaled content is placed on the printed page is a function of the printer driver, and that would vary by printer. I wish I had a better answer for you, but I would check the documentation for your printer.
Best,
Sara

Hi
I should probably of explained a bit better, i already have the document scaled on the PDF, as scaled and printed to PDF (Using the Adobe PDF Printer), so I have a new PDF, which is now scaled in the center of the PDF page
as you can see above, the document has been scaled down to 80%, re-printed to PDF, but however its scaled it down in the centre of the page, I would like the contents of the PDF to be aligned to the left of the page, so all the white space is at the right side of the page (instead of being a bandof white space down each side)

Hi Mick1986,
Thanks for sending the screenshot--I see now the problem that you describe. Unfortnately, I'm not aware of any way to adjust the page placement when scaling.
Best,
Sara
