A printing question...
#1
My little Brother printer doesn't provide much in the way of page layout, which may be the purview of the app that created my pdf — Preview.

The pdf is an A4 page with a graphic at the top of the page in Portrait orientation, a little right of center, and taking up a about 1/5 or less of vertical space.

I'd like to horizontally center the graphic and increase the sizee to fill the page (still in Portrait orientation).

This would probably be approximately 1/4 or a little more of vertical space.

If I increase the size using the printer's software (?) in Details, much of it spill off the left of the page, with no way to shift it to the right.

So I suspect this has to be done in the pdf, not the printer.

Preview (in Sierra) doesn't seem to do this.

I thought I'd try Pages 5.2, but it won't open the Preview pdf.

Some options, please.

If you want to fill the page with an image cropped from a PDF, there's an easy way to do that in Preview.

Draw a marquee around the image and copy to the clipboard, then close the PDF document and make a new document.

The new document will auto-fill and auto-size to the clipboard.

The when you print, opt to scale to fill the page.

Thank you for the assist, but I couldn't make it work.

I did make do with what I had, so that's close enough for Govt. work.
