I do not have PDFRedirect set up as my default printer.
I went into the printer setup for my system (WIn8) and applied settings for PDFRedirect that included a "postsript custom page size".
But when I select the PDFreDiect to do my printing, the PdfRedirect printer instruction defaults to "letter size", (and it is tedious to have to reset it manually every time!)![Smile](smileys/smiley1.gif)

Hi,
If you make the change from within a program (for example, Word >> Print >> Properties >> etc.) the paper size will only apply to this print output only.
If you want the change to "stick" and become the default, change the paper size via the Control Panel >> Printers >> PDF ReDirect Printer >> Right-Click >> Properties >> etc.
You can also do it via PDF redirect >> Preferences >> Properties >> Advanced >> etc.
If you do it like that, it will become the default.
Cheers!

Printer settings, when made through printer control panel, on this Win 8 machine, did not seem to stick
Printer settings did stick on a machine running under Win2000;
I will try it again.
Thank you for your response.

Hi,
I just tried on my Windows 8 machine (Surface Pro), and it worked. I did it via PDF redirect >> Preferences >> Properties >> Advanced.
Can you try that?
Cheers!

In PDFPro->preferences->advanced the postscript custom paper size IS set for width=4" and height=8", landscape-mode, 300dpi.
(This setting is to try to get a PDF print format that is compatible with a small tablet device).
Although the settings are set in preferences, I just tested it, and the PDF pro, uses the "letter size" format, (as if somehow overriding the internally set preferences)

Hi,
OK. I am pretty sure we can get through this. There is no "internal" PDF redirect Pro setting. Just like a real printer, the defaults paper size is set via the Windows Control Panel.
Please check the "Windows Way" as follows: Start Menu >> Control Panel >> Printers >> PDF ReDirect Printer >> Right-Click >> Properties >> etc. and make sure that you select the new page size you created in PDF redirect Pro.
You made mention of the "postscript custom paper size" and that has me worried. I believe that those are not permanent. I had so many problems with that Windows feature that I created my own Custom Paper Size feature in PDF redirect Pro (>> Preferences >> Properties >> Custom Paper Size). Use that to create your paper size, and then set that as the default.
Hopefully this will fix the issue.
Sorry for delay in response: I was travelling all day.
Cheers!
