How to create A3 sized PDF file without an A3 printer Hi, New user here. Is it possible to create an A3 sized PDF file when the only physical printer I have is A4. I would like to send the A3 file to a 3rd party. Thanks |

Re: How to create A3 sized PDF file without an A3 printer Install a PDF printer driver. (Windows 10 already has a standard one.) Print to that "printer". H ---------------------------------------- Hans new website - under constuction hansdirkse.info |

Re: How to create A3 sized PDF file without an A3 printer Thanks. I should have said that I'm using a Mac. Is it possible there ? |

Re: How to create A3 sized PDF file without an A3 printer I should have said that I'm using a Mac. Is it possible there ? On the Mac any PDF you create is zoomable without loosing quality. I have an A4 printer, and my builder has printed a perfect A2 from my PDF. Xiste |

Re: How to create A3 sized PDF file without an A3 printer Although the post is quite old I want to share my solution for printing in different formats like A0/A1/A3/etc.: So it seems like the available printing formats in the page setup of SH3D are linked to the supported formats of the default printer set in your operating system (e.g. Windows). After I changed my default printer in the windows settings from the physical printer to an installed PDF printer (PDFCreator) and restartet SH3D I was able to choose between all formats the PDF printer supports in the page setup of SH3D. Hopefully this also will work for Mac :-). |
