Hi,
I'm a complete novice when it comes to doing anything other than open up files and browsing the net and would really appreciate some help!!:o
I have saved a pdf file for a money off coupon but when you print it out, it is enormous and takes up the whole page!!!!:eek:
I've enclosed the link so you can see what I mean....

Is there anyway that I can re-size this to make it more acceptable??
I work from a laptop just in case this makes a difference.:o
Thanks in advance!!!!!:beer:

If you are printing from within Adobe Acrobat reader, when you click on Print, there should be a panel halfway down on the left called Page Handling. Scaling is probably set to fit to printer margins, if you change it to none - it will probably reduce the size correctly.
Hope that helps,
Regards,

Thanks White, if I put none for the margins, the size remains the same

Thanks Chuckles but there is no option to print booklet

Ah, I'm using Vista and the default printer on this laptop is the built-in Microsoft Document XPS writer? The option exists in there, but not everywhere else apparently

Also, try Foxit Reader as an alternative to Acrobat; you might be pleasantly surprised

Smaller footprint, very fast (compared to the miserably slow Acrobat), and won't bleed computer memory
