setting default "page scaling" for pdf printing

[indypete]

Hello!

I want to create a pdf file with "actual size" drawings that I have created for a web site I am creating. To ensure that the person who downloads the file prints it at actual size, I want to set the default "page scaling" value in their Reader print dialog to "none".

In looking at the "printing tips" that Adobe offers in its "Reader," it appears that Acrobat provides the option to set the default "page scaling" (not using the "Reader" but rather the version of Acrobat that you have to buy). I have copied the text from there:

"You can also set a default page scaling on a document-by-document basis as well as some other Print dialog options:

1. Open a PDF in Acrobat and choose File > Document Properties.
2. Click on the Advanced tab and select the desired options for the Print Dialog Presets.
3. Click OK to dismiss this dialog.
4. Choose File > Save, or File > Save As to apply the new defaults to the PDF file."

Question: Can PDF-XChange Viewer set this 'default page scaling' for a pdf file? If not, is there any PDF-Xchange product that can do this? If not, is there any other product (besides Acrobat) that you know of that can do this?

thanks!

No, PDF-XChange products cannot yet set and store such options in PDF documents.
We will add this option in the next general release of the viewer.

As far as I know, only Adobe Acrobat can set printing options for PDF files.

Thanks! That will be a great feature to have.
