Here's a strange one.

I want to be able to print Acrobat documents on standard letter-size paper, but reduce the page size to something smaller, say 7x10 (or some similar size proportional to 8 1/2 x 11), thus leaving a large white margin around the page, but having the entire image of the page print.

Do I make any sense? I know some software products have this capability (Microsoft Visio comes to mind), but I can't figure out how to do it in Acrobat.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

Change the page size (under Page Setup) to the size you want and make sure that the option "Expand small pages to paper size" is not checked in the print dialog, and you're set.

Thanks! Sounds like one of those things I should have been able to figure out. I'll play around with it when I get a chance.
