I've worked with Acrobat since 1994 and am familiar with the current version.
Education/Credentials Some college training in printing and have attended numerous seminars.
Question QUESTION: I am trying to find out if there is a way to print an Adobe Acrobat document that is a template correctly. It only prints one page at a time and if I don't click on current view it will print at 36% very small. The only way we can get it to print is by printing one page at a time by selecting current view which brings it to 96%. I have tried everything with adjusting the print settings which are glued at page 1 and will not allow me to select all of the pages in the document. I don't believe the security settings should prevent me from fixing it. Another thing I noticed is the bottom of the page shows dimensions 30.00 X 20.00 in. Normally it says 11 X 8.6 but I don't know how to adjust this or if that would help.
ANSWER: Hi Valerie,
The pdf you are trying to print was created 30 by 20 inches instead of 11 by 8.6 and by printing it at 36% your software is scaling it down to fit on an 11 by 8.5 inch sheet. If all your pages are 30 by 20 inches you should be able to go to page setup and print them all at 36% and have them fit on 11 by 8.5 inch paper.
Hope this helps,

QUESTION: We cannot see it at 36% because it is too small to read. I am wondering is there any way for me to adjust the size of the page to make it larger and furthermore get all of the pages to print from this template since it is only printing one at a time.
Answer Hi Valerie,
You cannot change the page size of the pdf but you can change the size that it prints out. In the print dialog box go to page scaling and select the size you want. For large pages you can select 100% and have Acrobat tile all large pages.
