Printing help needed.
Due to my deteriorating vision, I need to print pps bigger. I tried to print from Foxit in landscape mode on my HP laser but it still comes out portrait. I tried using "rotate" in Foxit - no help.

After selecting print from Foxit, another screen will appear for your printer driver.
From that screen, select properties.
Then navigate thru the options/tabs until locate the page which offers 'Orientation'.
From that section select landscape and than OK yourself through completion.
It may be a good idea to do a test with a single page prior to printing and entire program (when printing in Landscape and with a larger font your page numbers will increase dramatically.

FWIW, cataracts are fairly common these days (been almost two years since I had both eyes done), and I'd suggest getting it checked out.

Thanks Don, but did that. Macular degeneration is my problem now.
Think I've tried that setup, but will try again.

Thanks Tom, how well does that work for marking up PPs? I'm a pencil & paper capper.

Thanks to all.
I unchecked "auto-rotate" & "auto-center" and set the printer to 125%.
The pages do run over but I can deal with that.

Do they still make printers that will print legal-size paper?
If so, try to find one. This will let you print wider.

Upon further review....
Upon further review...that didn't work. The bottom of the page doesn't run over, it just is gone.

Dave,
My HP LaserJet does, as I'm sure others do.
Another option may be a copy machine with a USB and/or hard drive. Most Copy machines will print some rather large paper. I used one to print pages of the Horse Review's, which are 14 x 17.

Did you try setting the 'properties (Landscape)' in your printer driver prior to opening the PDF?

Here is a friend's solution.
Try these settings.
layout = portrait
Scaling type = Tile Large Pages
Page Zoom = 124%
Overlap = .500 (may need to play with this so the printer margins don't cut off anything important)
Cut Marks N
Labels N
Auto-rotate Y
Auto Center N

Try layout = landscape not portrait as someone else previously suggested. I don't know what the other conditions mean but Page Zoom = 124% or something like it sounds good.
