ita, do you have the entire Acrobat program? If so, you should be able to open the pdf in Acrobat and change the paper size to a custom size under the page set up from the file menu.

Dana, any scan of the logo can be used as a template in Illustrator and most can be easily redrawn. It gets a little more complicated if there are words as part of the logo, because you need to match the font.

I actually came in here to ask a question. I don't own a DVD yet and I'm thinking of buying one. My question is, do I have to worry about compatibility with my TV? I have a Phillips/Magnavox TV, can I buy a Sony or Toshiba DVD player?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, I just have Reader and Distiller, it seems. Maybe I can get my hands on Acrobat somewhere else.

I'll give the two step a try too.

ita, you don't have the option to shrink to fit paper in Reader?

ETA: Or maybe I'm misunderstanding. You're trying to print to a 44 whatever paper?

I Reader in the print dialouge menu the third pull down menu says copies and pages, pull it down to Acrobat Reader and there is a shrink to fit check off.

I don't want to shrink to fit -- I want the image to be one Architectural E sized PDF.

Okay, in Reader, you need to:

1. File ==> Page Setup. Select Custom Paper Size under Attributes. Setup your custom paper size and give it a name. Save it.

2. Then switch to Page Attributes in Page Setup. Choose your new custom paper size.

If you go into Print Preview now, you should see your document setup correctly. I think.

Your tag here.

ita, I can't help you with Distiller, but I've had good success with PDFCreator (alas, Windows only).

I'm not at the office right now -- I'll try that tomorrow. But can I save the PDF that way, from Reader? I need a one page, full size, PDF to attach to a package of documents.

Hell, I'll give them all a try.

Are you printing to a PDF? And are we talking Mac or PC?
