When printing PDFs in Edge even though the "Fit to Printable Area " option is selected it will not resize the document to fit the page instead, I am getting the print jobs with text cut off.

    Hello DijonL

    Im Juliet and Ill do my best to help you :)

    I would suggest you try to disable scaling options when printing a PDF document in Edge, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open the PDF document you want to print in Edge.
    2. Click on the three dots (…) menu button in the top-right corner of the Edge window.
    3. Click on "Print" from the menu.
    4. In the Print dialog box, click on the "More settings" link at the bottom of the page.
    5. Scroll down to the "Scale" section, and make sure the "Fit to page" option is selected.
    6. Uncheck the box next to "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes" to disable scaling options.
    7. Click on the "Print" button to print the PDF document.

    By disabling scaling options, you should be able to print the PDF document without any issues related to text being cut off or not fitting within the printable area of the page.

    I hope this helps! Let me know what happens :)

    "6. Uncheck the box next to "Scale content for A4 or 8.5 x 11" paper sizes" to disable scaling options."

    Thank you for the response. The above option does not appear for me.

    The Print Margins nor the "Shrink to Fit" options are not displayed under the "More Settings".

    Would the experimenting with different % values be required for every print job?

    It doesn't appear to save the previous settings - it defaults back to "Fit Printable area" which is not working.
