I have an 18x24 template that I want to print on an 11x17 printer. How do I tell Layout to print to a specific size (or fit to size) other than the Paper size in Document Setup? I’ve tried exporting to PDF.

If you export to PDF, you can tell Adobe Reader or whatever you’re viewing the file in to shrink it to fit.

Awesome. Thanks DaveR. I actually just figured that out as your response came in. [that seems to happen to me a lot]. nonetheless, thanks for the quick response.
