How do you print the X2 user guide and have each page fill an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper?

If you are talking about the PDF file containing the Manual/Usual Guide, I don't think you can -- even if you have the full version of Adobe Acrobat, and not just the reader. The point of Adobe is that it makes a faithful copy of the original, and I guess the original or boxed copy version of the Manual is, as it says in Adobe, 4.75 inches x 7.25 inches. I just tried copying it into Word, but all you get is the text and none of the graphics.

The only way I can think of doing it would be to print it in its current format, then page by page, expand it on photocopier with a Zoom function.

Maybe someone else will have a better idea. As for me, though, I am content to have it in its PDF format, which I can increase the size of on the computer screen via Acrobat...

Just a suggestion, if you want to refer to the manual whilst using the program, open the PDF file first and then VideoStudio.

Hold down the [ALT] key on your keyboard and then press the [TAB] key.
This way you can switch screen back and forth between the PDF file and VideoStudio.

Well, I want to print a paper copy of the manual to read offline and finally figured out how to increase the output to fill 8.5" x 11" paper. There's a printer option called "Page Scaling" with drop down menus. Used the one called "Fit to printable area" and it works like a charm.

Thanks for your suggestions.

How about having a dual monitor/video card and have the manual on one monitor and work on the other ?
