Microsoft Print to PDF - custom paper sizes possible?

Hi,

We suggest that you try to set the paper size of the exact document first. You can create a custom page size before you proceed with
Microsoft Print to PDF, it should auto-detect the paper size of the document.

To set the paper size in Microsoft Office:

• Click on the Page Layout/Page Design tab.
• Click on Size, and then in the options available, click on
  More Paper Sizes...
• Click on the drop-down arrow and scroll down to the last option which is
  Custom size. You will be able to customize your preferred paper size.
• Once done, click on OK, and then proceed with Microsoft Print to PDF.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Before printing PDFs from others, is there now a pre-requisite to check Paper Size until Automatic Rotation works? is it possible default print setting differs for another user?

Legal Paper Size misguide Print orientation for Print Option "choose paper source by PDF page size"?

It will only landscape for following Printer settings:

1. Default
   
2. Customized
   
3. Automatic
   

It is difficult to stop printing after first page did not come up correctly. Environmentally speaking, this is causing much paper to recycle.

The alternative are not automatic

1. NOT use automatic; this means I have to manually change setting every time I print?
   
2. My printer manufacturer suggested "Choose paper source by PDF page size”
   
3. change Paper Size by Printing to another PDF
   

Is there automation when Automatic Rotation is not working for printing Legal Paper Size?

After several days, we found another person do not have same problem with default print setting; how is this possible; is it possible default print setting differs for another user?
