Scorecard PDF print in Landscape

[rwicky]

Having just finished scoring my first set of games I'm now looking at printing out the scorecards. I emailed them from the iPad to my Windows 7 based PC with Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and now I'm trying to print the card in landscape mode to try to emulate the nice large sheet I usually get with my Glover scorecards but in 8.5x11 of course. My issue is I can't get the page to take full advantage of the entire printable area. If I put the printer in landscape and use the defaults it gets printed in the middle and actually smaller than in portrait. If I set the scaling to None and uncheck "Auto-rotate and center" it gets really close to using the entire page but the player numbers get cut off because it starts printing to the left of the margin. If you check "Auto-rotate and center" it seems to move it back to portrait for some reason.

Is anyone able to make use of the full paper in landscape and what tricks do you use? These old eyes need the largest print possible. One thing that I find interesting is if you look at the Properties the page size is 10.42 x 12.39 - seems strange to me and it might be what is screwing up the scaling - the page is larger than 8.5x11 no matter how you look at it and it has to scale it down.

Thanks,

i have always printed "as is" ..and it works nicely in portrait.

I am not sure how you expect to get bigger print by squeezing it into landscape. it is designed as portrait form,. that said, i was intrigued by the idea of bigger print (yes old eyes too). I flipped to landscape and printed on 11 x 17 paper and it work. giving 130% increase. does not maximize edge to edge because of my printer and the form header and footer. An alternative, you can print as an image to a file and then edit in an image editor to expand some more.. perhaps FTM has a more PDF centric view..
