In the Print dialog of the Acrobat Reader, is there any way to set the PageScaling (Page Handling group box) option always to 'NONE'
Is there any tool that could help acheive this programatically?
Thanks

Thank you very much , for your time
It's Windows XP 32bit.
In our application , we generate PDF reports which should always print under specified alignments.
The Page Scaling option 'NONE' works perfectly.
1. But say, outside the application, user opened a PDF document using Adobe reader and printed PDF document with 'Fit to Printable Area' Page scale option.
2. Then , user starts the application, generates the PDF report , opens it and tries to print the document.
The Page Scaling option on the print dialog for Adobe is now set to 'Fit to Printable Area'. This option will now print a completely unaligned report.
And also I don’t want user to always check the page scaling before printing the report.
I was wondering whether you could suggest an API or something else that would always default the page scaling option on print dialog to ‘NONE’ irrespective of the version of Adobe reader used.

I'm not aware of an app that can set the page scaling to none but this is an option that you set on a PDF by PDF basis under File > Properties > Advanced tab. You could set up a batch sequence for this for multiple PDFs.

I am having the same issue. With the 'Page Scaling' being "sticky".
You said there is a batch command to set these properties for a PDF document. Can you let me know where this is documented? I have a PDF that generates everyday, and if I could run this batch command on it before I print it, I wouldn't have to worry about the page scaling not being correct.
I find it particularly annoying when I am done printing a document that takes a special setting, when I want to change the setting back, you have to print another document to make the setting "stick" when all you want to do is change the setting. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.
I'm on Windows 7, running Acrobat 9 Standard.
Thank you
