I'm trying to create a PDF for an MS PowerPoint file with a very large page size, 46" x 36" (landscape). I'm using Acrobat 7.0 on Windows XP. In keeping with guidelines at www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbad46c/0 I selected the printer properties and created a new form with the desired values, entering the dimensions as if it were portrait, 46" height and 36" width. I also created a custom Adobe page size using the same dimensions. Under "Layout" I chose "landscape." The output file has the correct dimensions with a landscape orientation. However, the content is squashed onto the left side of the page with a very wide left margin, as if Acrobat were trying to fit the content into portrait-oriented dimensions. Words are overwritten on top of one another and it looks horrible. Just to check, I went back into the form preferences and the page size and individually changed first one and then the other to have the correct landscape height and width. Neither approach worked. Any thoughts?
