can prince alter print settings?

Anonymous
Hi,

I was wondering if prince supports in any way the possibility to alter the settings in a printer dialog?

because people forget to change certain settings like fit to page, or force them to use A4 paper?

This is probably different for every printer and driver, but perhaps there is a possibility that prince can explain to adobe reader to use certain settings, althoug they both are different applications, but it would come in handy sometimes.

thanx

I'm not sure if this is possible. Prince already describes the paper size within the PDF file, but the printer settings are controlled by the operating system and the application, such as Adobe Acrobat. I don't think that Acrobat changes the printer settings based on the contents of the PDF, sorry!
