Home - General / All posts - printing layout in 24 by 36

I am trying to print my layout in 24 by 36. Each time I change printers, the image resizes showing information that is beyond my original layout that i created. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

There's a couple of possible problems here:

  • If you are switching from a smaller paper size to 24 x 36 then all of your elements are resized automatically to the larger size.
  • The map component's Scope in the Layout is not set to Locked Rectangle, you can find this setting under the Map's properties within the Layout. Unfortunately it does not fix the proportion of the Map frame, which will change when you choose a different paper size.

An easy workaround is to export the Layout to PDF at the original paper size and using Adobe Reader you can set the page size to 24 x 36 and set page scaling to Fit to printable area and print.

Thank you very much for your help. The workaround is the route I have to take for now. I am trying to shoot something out the door, hopefully in the future I can find a possible solution to the problem. You loose some of your quality. Thanks again.
