PDF's creted via publisher don't pick up sheet size

I have had a few PDF issues lately on a project that is ready to go into the city and have only been able to correctly output by bringing the file to my PC which is still running Archicad version 1010. I had installed a more recent patch on my Mac and this effected output of PDF files placed on layout sheets. I have reinstalled archicad on my Mac and only updated with the 1010 patch which corrected part of my problems, but a new issue has appeared. All PDF's generated through publisher are created on 8 1/2" x 11" sheet sizes with portrait orientation. Are there any settings that I am missing which direct Archicad to use the sheet size of the layout sheet? I have opened up different project files and PDF's are created with the correct layout sheet size and orientation. The same file opened on my PC will create PDF's with the correct sheet size and orientation. I hope someone can help solve this issue since this project had no output problem prior to installing more recent patches than the 1010 version. I have also upgraded the system software to 10.4.9 and thought this was the culprit, but seems less likely since other project files behave correctly.

Hi Mike,
Unfortunately, I have not seen anything like this. Not on Mactel, PPC or PC. One question though ... Are you using the internal Archicad PDF writer or Acrobat Pro to generate the PDFs. I like the Arcrobat output much better. There's an idea ... if you are using Acrobat Pro, did something happen to that application. It might not be your Archicad at all.
See you in San Antonio???
