I write a catalog in WORD 2000. I set page size to 6 X 10.
But adobe distiller changes the page size to letter, although I changed all the pdf settings in distiller to a 6 X 10 page size.

I sure would appreciate knowing what I can do to get adobe to print the correct page size.

Thanks

In order for the custom paper size in Word to come through in the PDF you have to print using the PDFMaker Macro (toolbar button).

If you have to use File | Print, you need to create a Distiller Job Option with the paper size sent to the same as your custom paper size in Word.

Then, when you File | Print, select Adobe PDF as your printer, then go into Printer Properties and make sure you new Distiller Job Option is the one selected.
