I'm a fairly regular Acrobat user, and I've found a problem that I think might be an AdobePS problem.

Here's how to reproduce:

1. Create a custom form using Server Properties in Windows 2000 or XP. Define the page size to be very large, such as 150" x 150".
2. Open Notepad.
3. Click File > Page Setup, then click the Printer button.
4. Choose the Adobe PDF or Acrobat Distiller printer, and click Properties.
5. Select your custom form as the page size and click OK
6. Click OK to exit Page Setup.
7. Try to print the file to your Acrobat printer.

Past a certain threshhold, you get an error "The handle is invalid."

Using "PostScript Custom Page Size" instead of the Windows forms works, but it can be a pain.

Any suggestions?
