I appreciate the response, but it was no help at all! I specifically asked HOW to print these pages at the correct size which is LARGER than the paper in the printer without the use of Acrobat Reader. I went through all the steps you listed and NONE of them are viable as they do NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE! Let me try again.

I have the file in Preview and I need to print it to the correct size which would be in a Poster size to get the images correct. I need it to print larger WITHOUT the use of anything Adobe. All these articles showed to do was general sizing for known sizes and paper types, not what I asked. Will someone PLEASE answer my specific question instead of sending a general article that has no bearing on the question!

I gave up trying to figure everything out and downloaded the reader. It is horrific and does not allow you to print only what you need! Really need a better option from Apple for people stuck in the adobe dark ages! Next time I will save myself the grief and calculate everything manually!

With the document in Preview, press Command + I to see the Inspector. In the Inspector, look a the Info > General tab and either post a screen shot or report the information there.

How were you planning to print the document? In tiles on regular paper, or do you have a printer that supports poster size printing?

The easiest way to print poster size documents (if you don't have an appropriate printer), if the document is correct, to a print shop and have them do it.

I am beyond confused. How does a printer print something that's bigger than what it can print?

Uhhhhh... Did you want to reduce the image/document size? Or do you want to print off the paper?
