    Hi Folks,

    OK, I am having the same problem, but I look through all the tabs in the Print dialog, and other than the Scale field (where you set a percentage) I do not see any field marked "Page Scaling."

    Can you tell me exactly where I find this field?

    Many thanks!!!

    There are options in each version of Acrobat, but each one has
    differently arranged and named options. Look for similar entries, or
    let us know the version you have.

    Uncheck the boxes for Shrink or Enlarge in the Print dialog.

    Okay, that may be it. Using an ink jet HP All-In-One, when I go file >> print in Acrobat 5.05, I find a series of about seven or eight choices in the print pop up box -- none of which I've ever had to look at before, on a pull-down, one of which says "Acrobat," which I find had a box checked saying essentially to scale oversized pages to fit. With the Avery business card template, it's probably a little outsized for the recommended printing margins. I unchecked the scale box, and am trying the one template format I had problems with that someone else made and sent me.

    Bingo! That did it (after I reduced the printer set up which I'd previously set at 110% to try to force it to scale up from the around 92 percent it was printing at).

    Thanks, all! Wish I'd come here about a day and a half ago, instead of inventing work-arounds.

    And best regards,
    David
