1. Perhaps under [Common Options] - [Page Setup] you could add PDF as an 'Output Profile' with the page size; the existing margin selections would work just fine

2. So if the CSS specifies font-face and font-size then those are used in the PDF, not my options? I tried to eyeball the resulting PDF and that's what I thought was happening.


3. Out of curousity, why are the font sizes for PDF in pixels, and not points. I would think that points are more common for a 'paper oriented' output since pixels are more ereader screen oriented.


Thanks again for taking the time to explain things
