Spent 4 hours trying to get a basic PDF to print correctly from Adobe

I needed to print a 3-page form for my insurance claim and Adobe kept shrinking it to fit wrong margins. After 45 minutes of fiddling with settings I gave up, took a screenshot, and printed it from Paint in 2 minutes flat. Has anyone else found that workaround or is there a better way?

My buddy wasted two hours on a PDF then just screenshot it and printed from Word, worked like magic.

Take that Paint trick and run with it. I do the same thing for any PDF that's being stubborn, just screenshot and crop it in Paint, takes 30 seconds instead of fighting with Adobe for an hour.

Honestly that Paint trick has saved me more times than I can count. I had a rental agreement last month that was all scanned pages in some weird format my reader refused to open. I just snapped screenshots on my phone, cropped them in Paint, and had the whole thing printed in 5 minutes flat. Adobe's PDF tools are such a headache sometimes, I swear they make things complicated on purpose just to push their paid plans. It feels good to know other people figure out these simple workarounds too. Keep sharing those shortcuts man, they're gold for people like us who just need stuff to work.
