So far, to me, this sounds like a printer setting rather than an Acrobat setting. Try looking for any "fit to" or "zoom" settings in your printer settings/properites. You may need to change that to fit your needs. Also, you MIGHT can try Adobe Distiller. I haven't used it yet, but it apparently has some different print options there.. but I can't say exactly what or how to do anything there..

Now for the cheezy way.
Save the pdf as a hi res jpeg. Open it in a photo editor (you can buy a cheap one or download the open source GIMP), set the size A5 (use actual dimensions) while resampling the image.

Another cheezy way. If you have illustrator, open the pdf in it, select everything and group. Then go to Object Transform and scale it up.

Finally, if you have Acrobat, use the Touch Up Object tool, marquis (select) everything, and you can just pull the handles on the selection to increase width and heigth. Hold down the Command key on Mac or Control Key on Windows to avoid anamorphic distortions.

Don't use an Office product to scale it up, trust me on this.
