Page Size Converting to PDF - Reset and Is "Wise-Size" Possible

Blaineoreski · 01-28-2021, 09:18 AM

Hi,

I got fancy with setting the defaults for converting to PDF - adding lots of customization.

I'd like to roll back the to-PDF conversion to...whatever the out-of-the-box / fist install of program state is.

So, two questions, in one, really:

where are the default page sizes for converting to PDF (if any)?

And, is there any "Wise-size"??!

What I mean by that is - is there any variable I can click, or un-click, in the to-PDF conversion that will try to set the PDF page size to be similar to whatever the physical version of the book or document was?

So that, if it was handbook-size, the resulting file would also be handbook sized. Or, if it was some conventional physical size - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_s...0inches%20tall. - that the resulting output would be nearly the same.

Sincerely,

Blaine

There is no default page size, the most commonly used ones are a4 and letter. And books dont have any information about what their riginal page size was, so no such thing as a wise size.
