Hey all...

I have this Word document set up as a 6x9 page, and I want to print it to a PDF file, preserving this page size. However, everytime I try to do this, it makes it a normal (8x11) size page.

Does anyone know how to make it keep the 6x9 size?

thank you

- matt

hmm.....or any way to crop a pdf to the right size?

I'd prefer to have it to it right the first time, but maybe cropping would work, too?

You have it set to 6x9 in the Page Setup dialog, correct? Not somewhere else?

yeah, it's wierd...i have it all setup in the Page Setup thing -- the page is clearly 6x9 in Word. I hit "print," select "save as PDF," and it does so. But, the resulting file is an 8x11.

(frustrating)

thanks

I just tried this. It works for me--I get a 6 x 9 PDF. All I can suggest is that you check your settings again. Make sure you've got the custom page size defined as 6 x 9. Also make sure that's the paper size you've got selected in Page Setup.
