If you need to print out a final size image of 22x17 inches, and you do not have such a printer, then you will need to find out if your printer has a "Tile" option. That will print a large poster/banner/etc. in multiple sheets of paper. Then you just trim the excess and fit them together li

Hi :) Oops, sorry! Err, have you tried printing from the File - Print menu? That should give a pop-up box allowing you to select printer etc. In there or using the button there to go into the printer properties it might allow you to "fit to page" Regards from Tom :) On 25 July 2014 18:57, Tr

Hi :) Is that 22 inches by 17 inches??!!?? That is a huge document! Is it huge and trying to print to hundreds of pages or does it just "go over" a little bit and try to print to 4 or less pages? Print Preview is handy for figuring that out. If it is just a little bit over then simply choosing

Hello, Also you may have a scale option in your printer driver. But this is vendor dependent. We have this option in Canon drivers for iRC5045, but not for Xerox WorkCenter 5330 (our photocopiers/printers). The PDF option is 2 steps but universal, as Preview.app will then be able to scale down
