Printing to scale

I am trying to print a copy of a set of blueprints using Windows 10. There is no option to print to scale. When I open the PDF it opens in Microsoft Edge as a webpage, I have also tried opening in Adobe Reader and it still prints them off. These are blueprints to be able to bid construction projects so they need to be 100% accurate. I have a printer capable of printing 11x17 which is the size I need but with no option to print to scale this is very frustrating.

Hi Christina,

I know Chrome has a scale option. Do you happen to have that installed? I wonder if you tried to open the BP in Chrome if you’d be able to scale and print on 11x17.

Let me know!

Hmmm, I wonder if we could update your print driver. What's the make and model of your printer? We have to be able to get this option back for you.

Ok, so you're pretty confident the driver is up to date - I have the printer driver page here - https://epson.com/Support/Printers/All-In-Ones/... - but it's probably not needed at this point...

I do however want you to try something else for me.

Right click on one of your blueprints. Open with "paint" Click File - the arrow next to Print - then page setup

Is it possible that would work for you?
