For custom page size creation on the Mac, follow these steps. To change the default paper size for printing, click the Apple menu click System Preferences click Printers & Scanners click the Default Paper Size menu and choose your new size. I bet you'll find that it's 8.27 x 11.7 inches (or 210 x 297 mm if you've got metric units selected). FIGURE 8.16 In Microsoft Word, open the Page Setup dialog box and choose the new paper.
#CUSTOM PAPER SIZE WORD FOR MAC PDF#
I suggest that you open one of the PDF files that you've created via save as PDF and use the Inspector to look at the page size. A4 scaled to fit is 91% on my current printer, while US letter is 96% (it's not 100% because Scale to Fit assumes that the document should fit within the printer's margins, in case the content goes all the way to the edge of the PDF). If I choose "Scale to Fit" in Preview, I can tell the difference between an A4 and a US letter document by the different scale that Preview uses. Preview does not use the document's image size as a basis for choosing what paper to use. Type the width and height of the paper in the. Click Untitled in the list above (it’s added when you click ), then type a name for your custom size. Click the Paper Size pop-up menu, then choose Manage Custom Sizes. In other words, it is trying to print an A4 document on US letter paper because that's what I have specified as the default paper size. Choose File > Page Setup (from the File menu at the top of the screen).
However, if I then open the document in Preview and choose Print, it will default to printing on my default paper size. Which application are you using? On my Mac (MacBook Pro/Retina running 10.8.2), if I open a document in Word or Pages, use Page Setup to format it as A4, and then Save as PDF, the resulting PDF document is formatted as A4.
