Create and use a custom page size
It’s important to distinguish between
page size
(as defined in the source application’s Document Setup dialog box for
your document) and
paper size
(the sheet of paper, piece of film, or area of the printing plate you’ll print on). Your
page size might be U.S. Letter (8-1/2-by-11 in. or 21.59-by-27.94 cm), but you might need to print on a larger piece of
paper or film to accommodate any printer’s marks or the bleed area. To ensure that your document prints as expected,
set up your page size in both the source application and the printer.
The list of paper sizes available to Acrobat comes from the PPD file (PostScript printers) or from the printer driver
(non-PostScript printers). If the printer and PPD file you’ve chosen for PostScript printing support custom paper sizes,
you see a Custom option in the Paper Size menu. For printers capable of producing very large print areas, Acrobat
supports pages as large as 15,000,000 in. (38,100,000 cm) by 15,000,000 in. (38,100,000 cm).
