Printing A4 Word documents on A2 paper

[kevinleesmith]

I am telling the print driver to print on A2 paper and it does but it doesn't scvale the A4 image to A2 size.

If I do it from Acrobat PDF file it works but printing directly from Word doesn't

Anyone got any ideas? Its a pain to have to generate a PDF everytime I want to print something!!!!!

Hi,

In Word, you have to select page size first and it will reformat the whole document. If you wish to keep same page one-to-one you need to change the font size too. Acrobat uses different way to scale up down (vector graphics way) therefore you can fit logical page to physical paper in this case.

I know I can tell word that the page size is A2 but then I have to resize all my graphics.

I don't want to reflow the content onto bigger paper, I want the a4 pages to be scaled and printed at A2

Hi,

In this case, you have to print to the PDF (or save as PDF) files then print from there. Just one more step. Do you have a PDF writer on your machine ? If not, try the following one:
