When printing "Multiple", cannot edit margins in Page Setup

Bug: Cannot edit the margins when printing "Multiple" in Acrobat Pro.

  1. Open a PDF file in Acrobat Pro.
  2. Select Print>Adobe PDF.
  3. Select Multiple.
  4. (Set whatever settings you want, example: Custom 1 by 2.)
  5. Click Page Setup.
  6. The Margins are fixed at 1" and they are NOT editable.

Bug: The margins must be editable. There is too much wasted white space.

    I agree with Jim!

    Also, why has this bug still not been fixed?

    I reported this almost three years ago! If your UI has functionality, it should (clearly) function.

    Jim proposes several excellent ways that this could be addressed.

    Please fix this, Adobe!

    Thank you!

    Yes, either the margins could be editable, or another approach would be for the page to be scaleable (by percentage). A button that says maximize printing area and eliminates most white space on the margins would be ideal. I just printed multiple pages per sheet and a full 25% of each page is white space on the margins! This feature would be much more useful if the font sizes are large enough to read.
