To print legal size documents, continue here:
1. To change
the paper size for your printer, DO NOT click on the “File” menu at the
top of the window and then select “Print”.
Making paper size changes in that manner will not affect the paper size
that Acrobat will use to print the document.
The paper size change must be made as specified below.
2. Within
the Acrobat window and immediately above the open document you should
see a row of Acrobat icons. Click on
the printer icon. An Acrobat
“Print” dialog box will open.
3. In the
lower right hand portion of the dialog box you should see a picture of the
first page of the document you have open.
The picture is labeled with the page dimensions (usually 8 ˝ x 11 as
that is the default). If the document
you want to print is 8 ˝ x 14 (such as most of the LGS budget documents) you
will need to change that picture so it shows the 8 ˝ x 14 dimensions. Do the following:
a. Find the
top of the Acrobat print dialog box where the name of your printer is
shown. Immediately to the right of the
printer name should be a “Properties” button.
Click the properties button.
b. What you
see now will depend on your printer.
However, somewhere within the now open printer properties dialog box you
will find a place that will allow you to change the paper size from “Letter”
to “Legal.”
For example: you
may see one or more tabs at the top of the dialog box. One of the tabs will provide access to your
paper size settings. On most dialog
boxes the paper size settings will be accessed via a button near the bottom of
the box labeled “Advanced.” Click it,
find the paper size selection (you may have to click on a plus sign along the
left side of the box to open the paper size selections) and select “legal” or
“8 ˝ x 14” as your paper size.
c. Click
“OK” until you are back at the “Print” dialog box. Click “OK” one last time and the
document should print correctly.
4.
To go back to letter size documents, go through the process
again, and click letter.
1. Please
make sure that you have at least Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0
installed on your PC and that it is operating correctly. The latest version of Acrobat Reader is
available at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
. Just follow the directions on your
screen and save the file to your desktop.
You can install it from there by double clicking on the saved icon.
2. It is
usually best to close all open programs and to disable any anti-virus
program that is running before you double click on the Acrobat
installation icon.
·
Anti-virus programs running in the background on
stand-alone PC’s can usually be disabled by right clicking on the anti-virus
icon in the taskbar at the lower right of your desktop screen and selecting
“disable.”
·
On networked PC’s you may be unable to disable the
anti-virus program. If that is the
case, you may want to contact your network person or, you can try to run the
install program anyway. Usually there
should not be a problem but the choice is yours.
3. Once the
most recent version of Acrobat Reader is functional on your pc, in your web
browser double click on the “pdf” file you wish to print. It will open in Acrobat Reader.
