    Doing an A5 sized document in Word (2000). I am rying to write it to pdf with Acrobat Writer 6, but it doesn't have the A5 size selection. Does anyone know what the equivalent size that is in its list of sizes would get me out of a spot of bother?

    Seanie.

    PdfCreator didn't do A0 so modified a config file to add it.

    I'll try the latest PDF creator version and do up an A5 if necessary and report back when I've more time.

    Workaround:
    Word / Acrobat Reader / Foxit Reader should allow you to print two A4 pages on to an A4 piece of paper. ( you'd have to generate the pdf first - and Foxit reader is still a bit flaky around the edges but it's a tiny fraction of the size of Acrobat reader and doesn't need huge patches ever few months )

    Thanks Captain.

    This is for an A5-sized booklet I had to have done for today. Now, when everything is done and I'm ready to 'print', can I only find out that Adobe doesn't have this basic command in it. Very annoying, and very very frustrating. :mad:

    A5 = 148 × 210 (mm)
    In the Printer Properties - just Add/Modify - call it A5-SM ("A5" isn't allowed...it's as though it's already an entry..but...well... *shrug*)
    Put in the dimensions...
    And that should be it... ?

    PDFCreator 0.9 seems to do from A0 to A10 ( 1.01 x 1.04 inches :rolleyes: )
    as well as a load of interesting sizes like HDTV :D

    sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator FTW

    You may need newer versions of Acrobat Reader to do the multiple pages per sheet trick. Foxit reader might work - it's a MUCH smaller download than Acrobat and they have fixed a lot of printer issues.
