    Microsoft PDF inconsistency! I want it A4 but the paper size stays on Letter!


    Hi,Just wondering if microsoft has fixed this issue?Why can't we change the paper available?In the Preferences it is sticking as A4 but it doesn't change the Paper size so it's still printing everything Letter! I have to change it each time i print something and this is sooooooooooooo annoying!!!

    How to change Microsoft PDF printer default paper size from Letter to A4?

    Hi, my problem is Microsoft Print to PDF is printing a Letter-sized doc as A4. In the Microsoft Print to PDF Properties dialogue box under 'Features', the only paper size listed under 'Paper available' is A4. But if I click on 'Preferences' and then 'Advanced'
    there's a list of paper sizes available that shows 'Letter' has been selected. So it seems the problem is the Paper/Output option I've selected as 'Letter' is not changing the A4 'Paper available' feature in the Microsoft Print to PDF Properties. Does anyone
    know how I can change that or add a 'Letter' option to the Properties dialogue box? It's really important I get this fixed. Thanks in advance if anyone does know.

    How to change Microsoft PDF printer default paper size from Letter to A4?

    My Microsoft PDF printer's default paper size is Letter. It's very tedious to change it to A4 every time I print to PDF. Please help!

    Windows 11 Microsoft Print to PDF Paper size and doule sided issues

    I have the same problem (but I only want an A4 PDF). How do you change the "Paper available" setting in "Microsoft Print to PDF" to A4? This determines the page dimensions of the PDF.

    Pictures in the original question capture the problem. If you try changing the "Page Size" to A4 in Advanced Document Settings (in "Microsoft Print to PDF") this does NOT change the "Paper available" setting in "Microsoft Print to PDF Properties"

    ... and the PDF document is created as American "Letter" size (useless because if we are emailing it to anyone who needs to physically print it, or if we need to then print it ourselves, this stalls all A4 configured printers).

    I need to change the "Microsoft Print to PDF Properties" default setting to A4 (not letter). The "Paper available" windows needs to say A4. How do you change it from "Letter to "A4" and keep it that way?
