word's page size changed by adobe
I write a catalog in word 2000. It's 6" X 10" so in page set up I set page
size to 6" X 10". When I convert the word doc to a pdf file using either adobe distiller or adobe acrobat, adobe always changes the page size to letter sise. This is so even when I change the pdf settings in adobe to custom sise page and set the page size to 6" X 10". Can anything be done to get adobe to accept the word 6" X 10" page size? I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it. Frankie |

How are you setting up Acrobat?
Have you tried setting up a custom size in the printer folder? Right click the PDF printer, properties,click printing preferences. What version Acrobat are you using? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Frankie" wrote in message ...

word's page size changed by adobe
Thank you very much for your reply:
I'm using adobe acrobat 5.0. I just get "What's this" when I right click properties in distiller. However, I can set up distiller by clicking "properties" then picking "advanced" then in 'paper size' I pick PostScrip custom page size. Then change the default to 6 X 10. Then in pdf settings I edit conversion settings and once again change the page settings to custom 6 X 10. I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.

If you can't make it work, you can always print on letter-size
paper and then crop it in Acrobat. Go to the printer folder, file, Print server properties, see if you can create a custom form in this dialogue box.

I think I'm on the right track at last, thanks to Mary and Graham. I truly do
appreciate your help and advice. I also must apologize for not knowing how the threads work. -- I need all the help I can get, and truly do appreciate it.
