How to change print to PDF paper size for all users (GPO or Default Settings)

Post by Rouse-DaB »

Hi,

One of our teams regularly needs to edit PDFs and then print to PDF - currently, by default the PDF-Xchange Standard defaults to American Letter / ANSI standard, and we need to force that to be A4 for all users at all times.

Is there a GPO / Registry setting I can change to force that to be the case? We are on a VDI environment, not local user PCs.

Hello, Rouse-DaB

I do not believe it is possible to control this via GPO or similar functions. The "page setup" menu is linked to the printer driver selected, opposed to our own functions. If you can control the printers to default to using A4, instead of Letter, the Editor should respect that - unless the document in question is A4 in sheet size, and you have enabled the "select paper size by document page size" option in our placement and scaling options.

Kind regards,
