Good Day,

I currently have 8.5" X 11" pages in the same PDF file as 11" X 17" pages. I would like these pages to print to the correct size automatically. How do I do this?
 
What do you mean by "correct size"? You shouldn't have to do anything at all to make pages print right, if your output device has the capability.

On the other hand, if you mean you want the larger pages to reduce/rotate to fit on 8.5x11, then click the appropriate checkboxes in your print dialog.

What I mean is that I want the first page to print at 8.5X11 size and the second page to print on an 11X17 size sheet. Right now they both come out on an 8.5X11 size sheet.
 
Check the print dialog. In particular, make sure that the "Page Scaling" setting is "None". Uncheck "Auto-Rotate and Center".

This all depends, of course, on your device to recognize the page sizes and send the pages to the appropriate tray.

Unchecking the "Scaling" option worked. As did selecting the "Custom" size of paper in the printer settings.
