I am using Acrobat Professional 8.1.0 and am having a problem pdf'ing from Word to a custom page size. I have created a custom page size in Word, but when I pdf, it always ends up 8.5 x 11.
 
Everyone in my office is having the same problem. It worked fine a month or so ago (before we got the updates).
 
It works on two people's machines here: one has Acrobat Professional 7 and the other has Standard 8.1.1.
 
What gives?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0999999999999996447286321199499070644378662109375, Windows

From the Acrobat menu bar, click Edit, Preferences, then select New Document.

Click the drop down list next to the Default page size and select the size you need.

That does not work. I am doing a 9 x 9 page, which is a custom size. It does not let me create a custom size here.

Any other ideas?

Hi everybody
Ihave the same problem wit Acrobat 9; when I tryng to make a merge from word 2007 using the pdf button, the resulting pdf is in a different sife than the original word (a custom 120 * 190 mm). I tried to create a new job profile fros distiller and the pdf tolbar in the word bar, but using this "custom" profile is the same, I obtained the documment with the standar size of pdf (279.4 * 215.9 mm).
Thanks for your help!
