Starting with PDFCreator 1.9 and on to the current version 2.5.1 the

PDFCreator will no longer print to the set (Paper) Form size.
Do we know if PDFCreator is actually changing paper size to what you
want - one could imagine that you set some large page size, but PDFC
then clips it to A4 (for some reason, thinking where else might A4 be
set in the system).
Yes, that was one of my earlier thoughts, and AIUI from my discussions on
the PDFC forum, that has been found to happen (Occasionally) when using
Win 10 but not with Win 7. (That is PDFC is not setting the selected Win
printer Form).
I'm only using Win 7 Pro, and on other Win apps, particularly Serif
PagePlus X9 which I also use on the PC, using an identical sized file
(Size as in dimensions, 2k 350 transcribed from the OvPro original) and
identical contents there is no problem.
Through the apps Print setup dialogue with PDFCreator selected, and the
same Win page form size selected, the other apps print to PDF correctly.
OP shows you the printer margins (view options) and this is very useful
to see what printers are doing - I wonder if any other software does.
Yes and using that, I've looked and manipulated the print margins in the
OvPro print setup dialogue, but that hasn't solved the problem.
So even though the print margins visually look correct, that is all just
outside the document master guide frame, I still only get an A4.
PagePlus can show what'll be printed and the printable area is identical
to the OvPro area.
I'd be interested to know if the print margins are stuck at A4 or if
they change.
In OvPro they appear to be stuck on A4.
Obviously I'm an amateur at this game ;-) But everything visually appears
to be correct, but PagePlus then prints the full area and OvPro doesn't.
PDFC is this the free one:
http://www.pdfforge.org/pdfcreator
If so testing it is easy.
Yes that is the one.
I've been trying to sort this out for a cpuple of months, but have had to
keep an old version (1.6.2) installed on the other machine so I can still
print to PDF out of OvPro.
For what it's worth... On the machine I'm using for the testing, In
Windows, PDFCreator is now set as the default Printer.
