Show more paper sizes to 'Microsoft print to PDF'

I'm exporting PDFs through printing (as in CTRL+P - Microsoft print to PDF - export) the reason being is that its the only way I can use my branding ( SPECIFIC FONTS NOT PRINTING).

The default has very few paper size options. I've added the pages I need to the printer itself - but it still only shows a few choices.

 

Anyone know how to show more or the rest of the options?

 

Operating system used: Windows 25

Hi @iausesthis 

 

As far as I know, Microsoft print to PDF has its limitations for custom paper sizes. I recommend you to install any free pdf printer for Windows; there are many available out there (Ex: CutePDF, Bullzip PDF Printer...).

You can also check Bluebeam, it is not free but it is one of the best without a doubt.

Regards.

A quick search on the Microsoft forums would have gotten you your answer without the wait:

Though a seperate question is why your font is not printing directly? Also, it is recommended that you use the inbuilt PDF publisher, whether this be via the Publisher or "Save As".
