I am the following problem and don't know how to workaround it. I have a PDF document with mixed page sizes, some larger than Letter, some smaller than Letter, and many pages that are exactly 8.5 x 11 (letter) that were saved directly from MS Word. I understand both the Fit option (reduce oversized pages and enlarge undersized pages) and the Shrink option (reduce oversized pages and print undersized pages at their original size), and I understand Actual (print everything in their original sizes).
The problem is that I cannot print the 8.5 x 11 (letter) pages in their actual sizes, when either the Fit or Scale option is chosen, because it reduces these pages as well. What I don't understand is why Acrobat is trying to reduce Letter size pages, when 8.5 x 11 is not considered oversize. And it just doesn't reduce the printed output by a little. It is quite reduced. You can see it in real time in the small Preview window within the Print dialog, when you change the option from Actual to either Fit or Shrink. You can literally see how much smaller the print area becomes.
Of course, if the Actual option is used, it prints Letter sized page perfectly. With a PDF file that has multiple page sizes, I don't have the option to use Actual, so I am trying to find a workaround that will leave the Letter size alone (i.e. not reduce it), but then reduce (or enlarge) the other pages as needed, depending on whether Fit or Shrink is used.
it seems to be a printer margin issue, but I don't see any way to adjust that. Basically, I need to print any 8.5 x 11 sized pages (Letter) in Actual size, and the remaining pages automatically scaled. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
