Computer/printer question: Stomachmonkey?
I should know this but I don't.
We're at our recreational property with just my apple laptop and small HP black & white printer. My wife (the architect) received an email with some detailed drawings contained in a pdf file. She's needs to review and comment on the plans overnight, but all I can print out are tiny, tiny plans. Is there a way to increase the pdf size and print the drawings out in sections so they are legible? Help!

Option 1: In Preview, increase the scale:
 Option 2: In Preview, select the portion of the document you want to see, copy, "New from Clipboard"; Print and/or Option 1

Acrobat has this annoying default of scaling pages to fit.
When she hits Print you'll see mid way down on the left "Page Scaling". Probably is set to "Fit to Printable Area" Select one of the two Tile options instead. If still not large enough go into File->Page Setup first and set it to something larger than 100% then go back to File->Print.
