Thanks, Yes, somehow I remember the name does need to be called "archA" in paper.scm and the form name in Windows has to match also.
When I get home I'm going to call the name "archA" I believe Adobe will recognize that as a valid form name. I believe I called it "ArchitecturalA" in my file and that might be confusing the Adobe header to fall back to 8.5x11 for the document size, even though paper size is correctly selected. I will post my results. Thanks Again Rick Rick Hogg wrote: > > Rick, > All you have to do is change your paper.scm. That's > all I did, and I get 9x12 PDFs just fine.
