Topic: Printing to Distiller with Custom Paper Size (Via Email)

Hello,

I have a Word (97) Document, which I want to convert to a PDF by printing it to
Distiller (5.0) [on Windows NT].

The problem is, that this document has no standard paper size, but is 216mm wide
and 140mm high. In the property dialog of Distiller I tried to set the custom
paper size accordingly, but whenever I leave either the input field 'Height' or
'Width' the value of this field is set to '0.00'.

I tried to set the custom paper size by using Control
Panel->Printers->Distiller->Standard Document Setting.
It seemed like the paper size had been saved, but whenever I try to print the
Word Document, the produced PDF is sized 215,9mm (width) x 297,4mm (height).

Does anyone know, what I can do to get a PDF with the right size?
I'd like to remark, that I can't install any drivers or plug-ins, as I don't
have the appropriate rights on my computer to do this.

Thanks in advance

Susanne
