On my system it is \74e1846.gpd you will probably find you have the same file name but a different folder name. I was able to find the folder and file names by using regedit and looking in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\ Microsoft Print to PDF\PrinterDriverData. Being an incurable tinkerer, I thought I’d try modifying it and see if it worked.įirst you need to find the GPD file for the driver, which is installed under C:\Windows\System32\spool\V4Dirs.
Customize pag size publisher plus pdf#
It turns out that Windows printer drivers need to explicitly specify that they will support custom page sizes, and for some reason Microsoft Print to PDF doesn’t do that.
However, one thing we currently use PDF for is preparing electronic payslips, for which we use a custom, small page size, and this wasn’t working with the Microsoft implementation.

It would be good if I didn’t need to install Acrobat any more, as it’s expensive, uses a lot of disk space, and is one more thing you have to keep up to date with security patches. I use PDF a lot, for delivering clean versions of reports to clients and distributing presentation notes, so I was pleased to see Microsoft have built PDF creation in to Windows 10.
I’ve been setting up a new office PC with Windows 10 (while checking out the security and privacy settings, which have been well covered elsewhere). Briefly, the Windows 10 Print to PDF support doesn’t allow custom page sizes as it comes, but there is a simple way to enable it. I don’t usually post Windows tips and tricks, but I thought this might be useful as I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else.
