I can't figure out how to set wide margins (width) in PDF. I have a titleblock that gets cut off on the left and right when I try to print. I edited my title block to be able to fit in this area, but now it prints tight to the left side with a large margin on the right side. I can't find anywhere in the printer properties or Adobe to make the margins smaller

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help,
Firstly, install the Full Feature Software: HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 Wide Format All-in-One Print and Scan Driver and Accessories
After the software is installed, Restart the computer and try to print.
And, also refer to the User Guide Loading the paper.
- 1. Load the appropriate paper in the input tray. For more information, see Load paper.
- 2. From the File menu in your software application, click Print.
- 3. Make sure your printer is selected.
- 4. Click the button that opens the Properties dialog box. Depending on your software application, this button might be called Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer Properties, Printer, or Preferences.
NOTE: To set print settings for all print jobs, make the changes in the HP software. For more information on the HP software, see Printer management tools. - 5. On the Layout tab or Paper/Quality tab, click the Advanced button.
- 6. In the Paper/Output area, select the custom size from the Paper Size drop-down list.
NOTE: If you change the paper size, be sure to load the correct paper in the input tray and set the paper size on the printer control panel. - 7. Select any other print settings that you want, and then click OK. 8. Click Print or OK to begin printing.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hello-
When I go to my printer preferences, I can select "Tabloid- Small Margin" and it still does not print properly on the left & right side. See photos attached. For reference I am printing these PDF documents in Adobe Acrobat Reader. They must be printed to actual size for scale & construction purposes
