Setting Print Dialog Presets for all documents

Hi i will make a long story short.

We convert legal sized word documents to PDF files to send to clients. We are running into a problem when you go to print the file it defaults to 8 x 11 even though the PDF is clearly 8x14 and if you check the properties it is 8x14.

I have asked the client to check the "Choose paper source by PDF page size" in thier print setting and they have refused. These documents need to be printed in Legal format and not Letter.

I started setting the following File>Properties>Advanced in the Print Dialog Box i can set the Paper Source by Page Size and save the document and it will force the option to be checked and the document will print as Legal.

I have 2 questions

1. Do i have any options other than what i have done?
2. Is thier a way to set the Print Dialog presets so that they do not have to be configured every time we create a PDF from a word document.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8.0, Windows

I have not been able to get this feature (save print presets File->Properties, Advanced tab) to work.
