  • Abnormal PDF page sizes

    Hi,
    i5 @ 7.1 and PDF's created on the system come with unusual page sizes when looking at Document Properties (File> Properties> bottom left area of the dialog window that opens).
    IE: a standard report; 8.5 x 11, shows a page size of '26.39 x 11.00 in' and when printed, well, as you can guess, it's less than perfect. In fact, it's a mess.

    So, where is this page size information coming from?
    Can it be corrected?

    You don't say how you are creating. I have some that are created with Print files and OVRPRTF. I specify the PAGSIZE and Margins and LPI in the OVRPRTF and that controls the size. Mine come out 8.5x11. Here is what my OVRPRTF looks like:

    callp syscall('OVRPRTF FILE(CAR026ifs) +
    DEVTYPE(*AFPDS) +
    PAGESIZE(88 85) +
    LPI(8) +
    CPI(12) +
    FRONTMGN(.2 .3) +
    OVRFLW(88) +
    FONT(*CPI) +
    TOSTMF(''' + OwnerFolder + '/' +
    %trim(LOWNR) + '_Appendix_H.pdf'' ) +
    WSCST(*PDF) +
    OVRSCOPE(*JOB)');
