A4 PDFs from Office 2007
Hi,
I'm using Excel 2007, with the very useful 'save to PDF or XPS' Add-In. All PDFs I generate using it are 11"x8.5", instead of A4, which is the paper stock all my fairly non-technical clients will be using. Changing the page setup options does not affect the generated PDFs, and there doesn't seem to be a separate option to change page size within the Save-As dialogue. I realise that I could probably do this with an external application such as Acrobat, but I'm keen to hand over the process of PDF report generation to a non-technical colleague, and would like if possible, the cost of buying Acrobat and the complication of introducing another application to the process. So, how does one get one's PDFs to default to A4 page size? Many thanks for any thoughts. |

Acrobat and the complication of introducing another application to the process... Of course, this should have read 'would like TO AVOID if possible'! |

Bumping doesn't work in here. If no one has an answer, no one responds.

I see that is certainly true of the web gateway but whether it works on NNTP
clients or not depends on client behaviour and configuration. Dedicated clients are certainly liable to show new activity in a thread (eg by emboldening it) which might remind people who had an answer but had not yet posted to do so. I must admit however, you are unequivocally right on one point; it looks to me as if there is no obvious solution of this problem, and that this is a shortcoming which has existed since PDF-writing was introduced in Mac Office 2004, see he http://blogs.msdn.com/macmojo/archiv...es.aspx#831175 I will attempt a delve into the registry at some point to see if there is anything obvious, and report back here if I have time.

I don't know what Office 2007 uses to create PDF's, BUT you may want to
look in Windows Print Server Properties Forms tab and see if A4 even exists on your system. If it doesn't even exist, then you will never have it available anywhere on any print device. See Windows Help "Print Server Properties" for particulars and instructions.
