Printing at 50%

[paperpaul]

Hi Dave,

I want to print some of your models at 50% but just can't seem to do it! Adobe reader does not seem to have a print scaling option and I can't open the pdfs in paintshop or anywhere that does have an option as the file is passworded. (I understand why the password is there, I just can't find an easy way to alter the print size).

If you have any ideas I'd be really grateful as I'd like to use the models for 15mm WWII games.

Thanks Paul

Print size is likely controlled by your printer software, rather than adobe. So when you go to print, look for the scaling option in your printer´s "properties" dialog. Usually it´s found under page layout, where there are options like "fit to page", "normal size" etc. Look for something like "scaled printing", which will allow you to set a %.

Good luck.

Actually, Adobe still supports scaling, they've just made it harder to find.

Go to the 'Print' option in the File menu. Then under 'Page Scaling' select either 'Tile' option. There you will find your % controls.

Drove me nuts until I stumbled into this.

Ah found it! I have Adobe reader X and it's listed as "Poster." Strange name for it but the scaling is under there

Thanks for the help both of you and off to the printer I go
