Scale a document for printing
To
fit an oversized document on a piece of paper smaller than the artwork’s actual
dimensions, you can use the Print dialog box to scale the document’s width
and height, either symmetrically or asymmetrically. Asymmetric scaling
is useful when, for example, you’re printing film for use on a flexographic
press: if you know in which direction the plate will be mounted
on the press drum, scaling can compensate for the 2% to 3% stretching
of the plate that usually occurs. Scaling does not affect the size
of the pages in the document, it just changes the scale at which
the document prints.
- Choose
File > Print.
- Do
one of the following:
To
prevent scaling, select Do Not Scale.
To
scale the document automatically to fit to the page, select Fit
To Page. The scaling percentage is determined by the imageable area
defined by the selected PPD.
To
activate the Width and Height text boxes, select Custom.
Enter percentages from 1 to 1000 for the width or height. Deselect
the Constrain Proportions button  to
change the document width-to-height ratio.
