I am attaching a grab of the printer output screen from Adobe with portrait orientation selected for the file in question. This appears to be a shortcoming and I am afraid I am going to have to switch to Adobe despite my preference for a smaller package. Sumatra does not allow the page orientation to be selected in its print window whereas Adobe does. If I set orientation in Adobe to portrait the print output preview pane now shows it in the correct orientation and this is exactly how it is printed and just what I am looking for. This is exactly how Sumatra perceives it and this is how it prints the file - landscape.

If auto is selected the print output preview pane shows it being oriented in landscape mode even though the printer driver is set to A4 portrait. I have done a comparison using the same file in Acrobat DC Reader and its print options allows one to select the page orientation, ie.

Other printer drivers especially for small label printing cause issues over placement on a virtual page. but generally those default settings are OK. My HP driver has umpteen settings for glossy paper eco mode optimisation etc.

It appears the PDF driver has little to alter so is simple to check the advanced setting at print time is altered to “fit” Then each printer driver can have default settings that interfere so you need to check for any advanced option settings to get 2 per page / scale or fit borderless etc. SumatraPDF is supposed to be driven by the “System default printer” so if your default printer is set to “letter” or “A4” then that should be the “default output”. Note setting SumatraPDF default to “none” would not necessarily help in this case. I am not the developer, so cannot tell why SumatraPDF “default” appears to start at “shrink” rather than simply “none”. Only when Printscale = fit does it become true. Even though the new file which results from this operation shows the the page size is set to A4 it is not in fact true.

So it appears that when Printscale = shrink (that was the default on my Sumatra installation because I had never opened the advanced settings before let alone made alterations) this setting over-rides the Print to PDF selection - whose default size is A4. With Printscale = fit I found that now when I used Microsoft Print to PDF the new file properties showed the page size as A4 and when printed to paper the page output was A4 size as well. It appears that if Printscale is set to “shrink” then it doesn’t matter whether the printer driver is set to “fit to page” this instruction is over-ridden by the Sumatra setting. They did not require defaults to be changed.

All other applications I tried to view and print the file to paper so that they came out filling the A4 page size did so automatically. While this appears to be the solution I am wondering why it all had to be so difficult. Since the Print to PDF method did not work I changed the Printer default from Printscale = shrink to Printscale = fit.Īfter restarting Sumatra and loading the file again I found that it printed correctly to fit the A4 page.
