Using Adobe Reader to print the PDF of the tax return. open the print icon.  Then choose either the option to Shrink oversize pages or use the Custom Scale to decrease the size of printed page.

Are you saying that information is missing or cut off from your return?  Or just that the 1040-SR  is printing bigger so it takes more pages than just 2?

 

Turbo Tax will automatically give you the 1040SR if you or your spouse is 65 or older. It is exactly the same as the regular 1040, just bigger type so it goes on 4 pages instead of 2. You can compare them here
1040 https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040.pdf
1040SR https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040s.pdf
They both use the same instructions, https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

 

If you have the Desktop program, there is a way to force the one you want. You can turn off the 1040 SR and save it as the regular 1040 form. Switch to Forms Mode and open the Info Wks. Scroll down to Part II Address and Federal Filing Status. There is Print Form 1040-SR instead of Form 1040 - Yes or No.
