Thanks to all that tried to help in this situation. I think
I have
something that will work now. I downloaded IrFanView, then
with Foxit
which will let me snapshot on a protected document I take a
snapshot of
the info within a page, then launch IrFanview hit ctrl V
then adjust it
to fill the 8 x 11 sheet and it prints ok. I did have to set
a
preference in Foxit to take snapshots at 72 dpi.
All this is only for protected documents if the document is
unprotected
you only need to use Adobe, take a snapshot, then select
print and
select "print graphic" and it works even better.
