I deal with a lot of poster-sized PDF files. In older versions of Acrobat Reader, when printing you could change the scaling (so it would shrink to one page, or split across multiple printer pages).
In Windows 10 though, with the Adobe reader built in to Edge, there is no scaling option, and it automatically shrinks the whole poster to fit on one physical printer page.
Problem is though I need to print out these posters full-size, with the little page-alignment marks. I tried installing regular reader from Adobe's website, but it tells me it cannot install because another version of Acrobat is already installed. So I looked in Add/Remove to try to uninstall the Edge version of reader, but it not listed as an removable program.
In Windows 10, how can I print out a poster-sized PDF at full size?
Answer
Went back and tried downloading Acrobat Reader today from Adobe's site, and the latest version now does install on Windows 10 alongside the Lite version built in to Edge.
This is Acrobat Reader DC, version 2015.010.20056.
Seems to work fine.
I had tried installing from Adobe's website originally I guess a couple months ago. So it seems like it was just an issue with the version that was up on their servers a month or two ago. Nice that they finally fixed this.
