How to Fix Acrobat Set Page Boxes Dialog Missing Save Button
Question details
The user is unable to click the Save or OK button because the Set Page Boxes dialog extends beyond the viewable screen area.
- Product
- Adobe Acrobat
- Device & OS
- Windows
- Scenario
- Adding bleed marks or manually editing page margins within a PDF document.
- Observed behavior
- The Set Page Boxes dialog box is too large for the current screen resolution or scaling, hiding the confirmation buttons at the bottom of the window.
Check if auto-hiding your Windows taskbar provides enough extra vertical space to reveal the hidden buttons at the bottom of the dialog.
Use Keyboard Shortcuts to Reposition or Confirm
Quickly bypass the display issue by using Windows system shortcuts to move the window upward or simulate a click on the default button.
Windows includes built-in keyboard shortcuts that allow you to manipulate application windows even when your mouse cannot reach the title bar or the action buttons. This is the fastest way to resolve oversized dialog issues.
Press the 'Alt + Space' keys simultaneously on your keyboard to open the window's context menu, then press 'M' to select the Move function.
Use the 'Up Arrow' key on your keyboard to drag the Set Page Boxes dialog as far upward as possible until the Save and OK buttons become visible.
Alternatively, after typing in your bleed mark or margin values, simply press the 'Enter' key. This automatically triggers the default confirmation button (OK/Save) without needing to click it.
Adjust Windows Display Scaling and Resolution
Reduce your system's display scaling temporarily so that large dialog boxes can fit entirely on your screen.
Easily Adjust Page Boxes and Bleeds with WPS PDF
Avoid frustrating dialog display issues by using WPS PDF to effortlessly set page boundaries, crop pages, and add bleed marks. The user-friendly interface is designed to adapt perfectly to modern screen resolutions and scaling settings.

- 4. Apply and Save: Click the clearly visible 'Complete' or 'OK' button to apply your changes, then save the document.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Acrobat Set Page Boxes dialog exceed my screen size?
This typically occurs on laptops or monitors running at lower resolutions with high display scaling enabled (such as 150% or 175%). The Acrobat dialog has a large minimum fixed size, causing it to push the bottom buttons off-screen.
Can I manually resize the Set Page Boxes window by dragging its edges?
No. Unfortunately, the Set Page Boxes dialog in Adobe Acrobat has fixed dimensions and cannot be resized by hovering over and dragging the window borders.
Will reducing display scaling affect other applications?
Yes, lowering your display scaling to 100% will make text and icons smaller across all Windows applications. You can switch the scaling back to your preferred percentage immediately after saving your PDF settings.
How do I auto-hide my taskbar to see the bottom of the dialog?
Right-click your Windows taskbar, select 'Taskbar settings', and toggle on the option that says 'Automatically hide the taskbar in desktop mode'. This will provide extra vertical space at the bottom of your screen.
