Margins of file created from web page

Acrobat X Pro

 

When this version of Acrobat creates a file by converting a web page, the margins are all wrong - they are too close to the edge of the page - and there appears to be no way to set the preferences for what the margins should be, or even the page size.

 

I have used Acrobat since version 4 and do not recall thios happening before.  It is particularly annoying when you are trying to assemble a collection of pages from more than one web page, as the Append function ignores the margins set for previous pages.  I am forced to print each page to PDF from my browser, saving each individual file, and then merge them into one file.

    What version of Acrobat are you using? What Acrobat command are you using to convert a web page?

    1) Acrobat X Pro - as stated on the first line.

     

    2) Create PDF from Web Page.  Also Pages-More Insert Options - Add to PDF from Web Page.  Both produce the same result.

    In the Create PDF from Web Page dialog, click on the Settings button. Click on the Page Layout tab. You can change the margins and page size here.

    THANK YOU very much!  This seems to work with appending a web page as well.

     

    This is in fact documented in the Acrobat Help file - see page 74.
