I'm not sure if this is an Adobe error or a Gmail error, I'm leaning more towards the latter but would appreciate any help in resolving this.
My typical Adobe use case is using the Reader plugin within the Chrome browser. I am able to print most PDF documents, but I'm having an issue with a specific PDF only when attached to Gmail. I am able to print PDF documents from other sources within Chrome without issue. I am able to print other PDF documents when attached to Gmail without issue. I am able to download this PDF attachement, open the file, print, and it comes out without issue. But when I open a specific PDF in Gmail and print, it comes out wrong, the fonts are improperly sized significantly. This issue occurs within the Chrome browser, Edge, and Firefox. Any direction in resolving this issue is appreciated. Thank you.

Web browsers use their own PDF mechanism to render and display the PDF documents and they are not Adobe dependant. It is recommended to download the PDF to your computer locally and then print (the ideal way). As its an issue with a particular PDF file, there isn't much we can do with out looking at the file.

I have just met a very similiar problem with printing PDF files from Gmail, very similiar to thew question asked here.
With a PDF file attached to an email in web accessed mail, doible clicking the PDF attachment should open Adobe DC and allow it to be printed. In this case it does not open Adobe, but another page of Chrome so when that is printed the text is cut off from the righthand edge of the page. It is not the PDF or the email as there are 2 accesses setup for the Owner and his wife, his wife when doble clicking the PDF opens Adobe DC and prints properly, whereas the Owner it does not open Adobe DC.
I feel it is a registry problem, but they are using the same Windows logon, and thus the same actions for the desktop, so it could be Gmail.
Can you advise on Registry entries so I can track this down to what is going wrong with the Owners gmail printing.
