Hi All,

I'm wondering if someone can help me. I've made a crapload of custom page sizes in Adobe Acrobat 6 for a client here at work. Well I'm soon going to be working for them, so would like to take the sizes with me instead of setting them all up over again (there are a fair few).

Normally I would just readd them all, but I always have a few setbacks getting the page orientation around the right way to pass through first time (without me having to approve the PDF, then go find it and rotate, save, and preflight it again... UGH!)
Before you say "Sheesh Botchup, yer podantic", it ain't me. It's the guy at the printing hub that has to have all the PDFs up the "RIGHT" way. :rolleyes:

Examples:
Business card (P)
Business card (P) +BLEED
Business card (L)
Business card (L) +BLEED

Get the picture? ;)
Any help would be appreciated.

Also, I've tried and tried. But is there ANY way to delete the default sizes that you get upon installing Adobe Acrobat? Half the sizes I've never heard of or even used! The entire list takes up the height of the screen, and the scrollbox they give you is like 1/3 the size! I hate scrolling!!!
For example, I don't use sizes like:
ANSI D
ANSI E
ANSI BLAH BLAH
ARCH A
ARCH B
ARCH C blah blah
ISO (x 4)
JIS (x 4)
LEDGER
LEGAL
Oversize (x 3)
Screen
Tabloid...


Ugh!!!!

I think those are a part of the code that makes up the PPD. You could theoreticly
open the PPD in a text editor and manually remove them (not recommended).
Other than that I don't think there's a way to do it, at least none that I have found. Crazy ISO page sizes anyway. Likewise, I don't know of a way to Export
the page set ups (like you could from InDesign) out of Acrobat.
