PDFs can be created directly out of programs like Adobe Illustrator. I
use QuarkXPress as my page layout software, not Illustrator. I always
use Adobe Acrobat Professional to create PDFs, taking the long way
around (first saving as a Postscript file via Quark, then going through
Acrobat Distiller. Professionals don't use Microsoft word for layout,
btw. It's unreliable and very limited.

My issue is with print-to-PDF: there zero (0) selection options -

That doesn't sound like Adobe at all now does it? ;-)
I may be wrong but I believe that to format PDFs it takes a full blown
PDF creation app such as Acrobat Pro (not Reader) to control how a PDF
displays. I've never created one from scratch so I don't even know if
overall size is an option but they do all seem to be about the same
size.
Would selecting the data you want to save and invoking the Services>
TextEdit> New Window Containing Selection service work for you? Or the
free text editor Bean.app also has a Paste Selection into Current
Document service that might (?) give you more control.
