Hi there, I've got MS Publisher 2003 and have created a small post card that
I now want to send to a printer to print out for me. I've got "PDF Creator"
software and cant figure out how to print it out correctly. Does anyone know
what paper size I should use? Do I need to orient it in some fashion?
Currently I am using landscape and have tried just about all the paper sizes
to no avail. I'm getting a little frustrated here! Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks

James

Like all printers, you will have to specify the stock size in the PDF writer. I
have no idea how to do this in your program, look at your help files.

I've specified the size a number of different times, do you know what paper
size it would be? It seems to allow all the American sizes. I tried the A2
and couldn't get it to orient itself correctly. It tries to either print
multiple copies or one copy on a really large sheet of paper.

A2 is a large size. You have stated a small post card.
Look here for comparable sizes

Can you send the Publisher file to me, I will set it up in Acrobat.

James, You should check with your printer. I usually only want one copy of
the document. My RIP will then process however many up I need it. And even
if your page size ends up at lettersize, if your printer knows your finished
size, it shouldn't be a problem.
