Urgent help needed! Need to print to A5 in PDF

angelavdavis · 13 July 2009 at 10:32AM

I am up against time to get a document to the printers in pdf format. However, the document is formatted in Word as A5 no problem, I set the printer settings for Primopdf to a custom size to match the A5 dimensions, but the pdfs are created in A4!

Anyone got a recommendation for a free pdf writer that is reliable?

Thanks very much

Maybe: Select Paper-Size A5 from the printer-properties. Then make sure that Page Scaling is set to "Shrink to printable area".

Or maybe like this:

Or Open Office:

There isn't an A5 option in PrimoPDF, so I had to enter the custom size but it had no effect. I eventually downloaded PDFCreator which was fine.

Thanks
