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

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?

Printing to a PDF on a PC.

I think that once you set the custom page size, you should be able to select it in any program and then do your print to PDF and it will be the right size. I know it works here. If it doesn't work tomorrow, I can look at my settings on the work PC since I print to 22 x 28 all the time.

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?
No, brand should not affect compatibility. Though the DVD player I just bought is a Philips (this one, which a few other Buffistas also have) and I'm very happy with it.
