Adobe reader x how to print a 11x17 at 8.5 x 11 letter size

I keep getting emailed maps in 11x17 size and really need to print the whole document at 8.5 x 11 letter size. I have free Adobe Reader X. Anyone know how I can do this?

I did what you advised, still didn't work - then tried unchecking "choose paper source by pdf, then it worked. Even when choose paper sourse by pdf was checked and the paper size showed it 8.5 x 11 - it did not downsize the print for me to that size. Not sure why? Thank you so much!

  • Adobe Reader 10: How to print a PDF ignoring the red characters?

    Adobe Reader 10: I want to print a PDF ignoring the red characters.
    I am a school teacher.  I would like to print PDF answer key files (answers in red) without the answers for the students to work on.  How can I suppress the red characters during print and print only the black characters?

    I don't think this is possible with Adobe Reader.  You would need a program like Acrobat or Illustrator to hide these text portions.
    If this is a one-time task, you could use the 30 day trial of Acrobat: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-acrobat-xi-pro-standard-reader-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

    How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

    Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
    The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look.  But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.

  • I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    I'm told there is a virus associated with Adobe Reader. How can I tell if my machine is effected and if so what is the cure. I'm running OS X10.6.8 on an iMac with safari 5.1.5

    There are no viruses currently affecting the Mac but there is something called Flashback which is malware that has been doing the rounds and affected many Mac users. Apple have released some updates to Java that should remove it and improve protection. Run Software Update to see if there is anything for downloading.
    A few precautions that can help prevent your Mac becoming infected:
    If you use Flash only download it directly from Adobe.
    In all web browsers disable Java (but do leave Javascript on as that's something else).
    In all web browsers make sure downloaded files aren't set to automatically open after downloading.
    Consider disabling Java completely (launch Java Preferences in the Utilities folder and disable it - you'll likely rarely, if ever need it. If you do just turn it on and off again when your done).

  • Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints incorrectly in Windows 7 x64 - HELP

    Adobe Reader 9.3.1 PDF document pages at half size and rotated 90 degrees.  If I set "Print as Image" under the Advanced print options, it does print correctly, although the resolution isn't very good.  This happens on several documents (stand alone files and from Internet Explorer both).  I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    On my Vista 32 bit system, Adobe Reader 9.3.1 prints the same documents correctly on the same printer.
    Has anyone heard of this problem?  Is there a solution?

    I have some of the same problem
    with my Windows 7 64 bit computer. I
    get an error when sending a document to
    the PDF veiwer and am told to shut down
    Adobe Reader.  Is there a download to
    correct this problem?  Adobe Reader 9.3.1
    works fine with Windows XP on my 32 bit
    computer.

  • Partial printing only from Adobe Reader via Server 2008 print spooler

    Hi there,
    We've recently set up a new print server for our school. It's running Windows Server 2008 (not R2) 32 bit. We have 8 printers, which are all HP LaserJet P2035n.
    All printing works fine, except for PDF files from Adobe Reader. PDF files from Adobe Reader go through the print server with no visible errors, however they print strangely.
    Often there will be a blank page at the start. Generally they will not print all pages (e.g. 4/10 or so) and they will cause the printer to error.
    We do not get this problem using other PDF readers or with the Google Chrome PDF plugin.
    Could you please provide some troubleshooting steps? Based on elimination, it seems to be something to do with the way Adobe Reader communicates with either the print server or the printer, causing some type of malformed request.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

  • In adobe reader, I can't print from different trays?

    Using Adobe Reader, I can't print from different trays on my Lexmark x954 printer.  I've tried reinstalling the print driver (latest version) and reinstalling Adobe Reader with no luck.  I can see the trays and even select them in the print dialog box in adobe but when I print I am unable to print from the correct trays.  It always prints from tray 3 of my printer no matter what tray and type of paper I choose in adobe.  Any suggestions?
    I've also noticed a problem printing through Preview.  I can select different trays using preview but the print time is extremely slow.  It seems like it has to re-download the pdf page each time it goes to print.  So a 100 page print job takes 20-30 minutes to complete which means other have to wait for my job to complete so it really slows our office down.
    Thanks for your help.  Also, I am using the mountain lion operating system.  Thanks again! 

    Don't know whether it will make any difference, but a new version of Adobe Reader has just been released:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/73/adobe-reader  (version 11.0.03).

  • Running Safari 6.0.3  When trying to print files using Adobe Reader 11.0.02, print preview screen is all black.  If files are attached to an email, receiver can't open it.  It does work OK in Firefox 19.0.2  Any ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Website pdf won't open with Preview - requires Adobe Reader. How do I force iMac to use Adobe for this particular website?

    I need to access a tax form from my state's tax website. The site will not allow Mac Preview to open any pdfs on the site. I already have the latest version of Adobe Reader downloaded on my iMac which is using Mac OS X 10.6.8  The state's support guide says to make certain my internet browser (Safari) is set to open all pdfs with Adobe Reader. How do I do this? Thanks in advance for helping.

    I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

  • Adobe Reader X stuck on "print to file"

    I have a problem with Adobe Reader 10.1.0 not saving my print settings after I close it.  I am running Windows Vista and trying to print to a RICOH printer/scanner/copier machine.  I checked "Print to file" by accident once and tried to print, and now every time I open Adobe Reader and try to print something, I have to uncheck "Print to file."  It is also stuck on "Print as image."  I have tried restoring the default settings on the printer, changing the default printer, and repairing the installation.  Checking and unchecking "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" doesn't make a difference.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is there a way to change the default so that "print to file" and "print as image" remain unchecked?  Thanks!

    I just fixed this issue. Running Adobe Reader X on Win7 x64 Enterprise.
    Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\PrefsDialog and modify the key "aLastPrefsPanel" to say "Display". I found on the troubled PC it was set to "Startup"
    In your cases running 10.1 the registry path may be "10.1" rather than "10.0"
    That should do the trick.
