Document to print on legal size paper

We have a document created in Adobe Professional 7.0. The document was created to be printed on legal sized paper, but our users have to change the paper size each time they print it. The print properties for some reason keep defaulting back to letter size. We have tried to change the paper size settings several times, but whenever we resave the document and check the settings, it has defaulted back to letter size.

This is an unfortunate problem that's been around Acrobat since day one. There's no way in Acrobat to change the default to recognize the page size and default to make a paper choice to fit the current diocument size. At least I haven't found a way to change it.

Unfortunately, your users need to visit the Page Setup dialog box each time they print to paper sizes other than the US Letter Standard size.
