Print to larger than A4 PDF on mac.

Hi, I want to print straight from a view (not a layout) to PDF. The problem is I can only print to A4 size, probably because the two printers here are A4 and I guess the Mac's "save as PDF" uses their settings in the print dialogue.
When I used a PC I could just use CutePDF writer.

Any ideas how I can get around this and print to larger sizes (eg A3).

If you go to Page Setup do you get an option to format for Any Printer? Does this offer more paper sizes? Mine does, but it may just be that it is offering options for any printer I have access to.

If you don't see the size you need. Go to page setup>paper size. At the bottom of the list you will see Manage Custom Sizes. Select that and you can print to whatever size you wish.

Hey, that worked, even though it still lists the A4 printer at the top of the print dialogue. I chose Any Printer and then A3.

Great for sending a quick rough section to the engineer etc.

Thank you so much!
