How to add a custom page size to the Smart PDF printer

LEMH

Hi guys,

   Does any body knows how can I add a custom page size to the Smart PDF printer?? (no Microsoft PDF Printer, Distiller, Ghostscript or any other plain PDF printer, I already know the workaround there).

The thing is I need to print a smart pdf with a custom page size, but I don't know how to add a custom page size to the Smart PDF printer.

I've tried to add the custom page size and put it on the list that is inside the capPdfUtil.tcl file, but even if the custom page is added to the list, when I print the smart PDF, it just simply ignore the size I've added

and it prints the schematic in a different size. So I think is not just enough to add the custom page size to the list on the 'mPaperSizeList' located inside the capPdfUtil.tcl.

Thanks.

Regards.

    nevermind, I find out, if someone ever seen this msg.... the easiest way is to buy a pdf reader cable to process postscript, the cheaper way is a little bit longer to explain it here, since involves so many steps and cares, if you ever need this just ping me...

    Saludos compadres !!!
