How do I manage to print an A4 page to Adobe PDF as it always defaults to 8.5in x 11in. and scales the page to fit. I have changed the blank page default in Adobe Acrobat to A4 but whenever I print from Ovation I still can only get a scaled version.


I don't have Acrobat - maybe those who do could provide a proper answer.

My guess is that you use the properties button on the expanded Print window in OPW and that somewhere that will lead to a paper size.

In my experience there is always an odd duality on Windows between setting things from the Printers Window (Start Menu or Control panel) and setting them from properties in the application doing the printing. I've spent many happy(?) hours trying to set the default and failing.
