Adjust page size for printing

Last updated on Aug 16, 2025

Learn how to scale your PDF pages for printing in Adobe Acrobat.

Open the document and select Print this file from the global bar. 

In the Print dialog box, select Size under Page Sizing & Handling.

Choose one of the following page sizing options, based on your needs:

  • Fit: Reduces or enlarges each page to fit the printable area of the currently selected paper size.
  • Actual size: Prints without scaling. Pages or selections that don't fit on the paper are cropped.
  • Shrink oversized pages: Shrinks large pages to fit the currently selected paper size but doesn't enlarge small pages.
  • Custom Scale: Resizes the page by the percentage you specify.
  • Choose paper source by PDF page size: Uses the PDF page size to determine the output tray rather than the page setup option.

Select Print.
