Windows 10: PDF shifts to upper left instead of staying in center when scaling to smaller size

I have been having this problem where whenever I print a PDF and scale it to a smaller size, it shifts to the upper left instead of staying in the center. It's a huge problem for me; I've had it since February 24th, 2025.I have included three screenshots to help explain the problem.Does anyone know how to fix/solve this problem? What should I do?I use Microsoft Edge Version 133.0.3065.92; my printer is an HP Deskjet 2755e.

Font Size Scaling Revert Upon Reboot Bug

Dear Microsoft Support Team,

I have been a long-time user of Microsoft products, dating back to the MSDOS era, and have always appreciated the accessibility features provided, particularly the High Contrast mode that aids users with low vision. However, since Windows 7, I have observed a significant limitation in the customization of text sizes for various UI elements, which has persisted into Windows 10 and 11.

The specific issue I'm encountering involves the Font Size scaling feature in Windows 10 and 11. Despite numerous attempts at troubleshooting, including consulting support forums, the bug remains unresolved. Allow me to outline the steps to reproduce the bug consistently:

1. Press the Windows key and type "Font Size" in the search bar.
   
2. Navigate to "Display" on the left-hand side.
   
3. Adjust the "Make text bigger" slider on the right side to scale the Text Size from 100% to 225%, and click "Apply."
   
4. Upon rebooting the machine, the applied Font Size scaling is often reverted back to a smaller size, despite the UI displaying the correct scaling percentage.
   
5. This issue is particularly noticeable in File Explorer's Details View, where the spacing between lines is compressed, and the text size appears smaller than intended.
   

The workaround I've found involves changing the scaling to a different value, applying it, and then reverting it back to the desired value after each reboot. However, this temporary solution is cumbersome and impacts the usability of my devices, especially my Windows 11 Surface tablet, which becomes unreadable without external assistance.

I believe this bug stems from the global scaling process not consistently applying the "Make text bigger" slider value upon reboot. As a user who heavily relies on Microsoft's accessibility features for both personal and business use, I urge your team to investigate and resolve this long-standing issue.

Your prompt attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it directly impacts my productivity and user experience with Microsoft products.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,

 

custom scaling documents for printing in windows 10.

Thank you for your reply, but control key + p only takes me to the same limited menu that I was using before, which is the 'more settings' tab in the menu I am provided when left tapping the printer icon in the upper right corner of the screen with pdf image
I am trying to scale and print. There is no option for scaling on that menu. Perhaps there is on your screen. As mentioned, in previous versions of Windows, if one wished to really dig deeply into printer settings they could, and all from the same place in
tools, right where it should be, under print options. Perhaps you are seeing something different than I. Please try scaling and printing a pdf document in different sizes from windows 10 and let me know what happens. Perhaps I am missing something simple.

Otherwise, am I missing something here, or is Microsoft imagining that their consumers want fewer choices on a non-intuitive platform, rather than as many choices as are possible, arrayed on an easy to use intuitive platform?

 

Mouse is erratic at upper left corner

Hello!

• Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (i.e., updates, software installation)

This has been happening since the Windows 10 update, no issues prior to the Windows 10 update

• Is this the first time you experienced the issue?

It has occurred non-stop since the Windows 10 upgrade, no issues prior to that upgrade.

• When did the issue first begin?

After the Windows 10 update.

• To make sure we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far to resolve this?

I have found a work around by decreasing the resolution on my laptop to be at 1024x768 instead of the recommended 1366x768. I cannot increase resolution from 1024x768 without the mouse being erratic and uncontrollable in the upper left corner .
