How to Print A5 Planner Pages on Letter Paper
- Open the file on Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- If you use a Windows laptop, press Ctrl + P, but if you use a Mac laptop, press Command + P. Doing this will open the print pop-up.
- Click on the Printer field and select the printer you intend to use.
- Under the Page Size & Handling section of the print pop-up screen, click on Size. Then from the options that appear, click on Actual Size.

After Printing the Odd Pages
