Page Settings

Page Settings

Page Size Selectable standard paper sizes.
User Defined You can specify the paper size by entering the width and height into Width x Height.
Page Orientation

[Portrait] is the paper orientation with its [Width] as the horizontal side and its [Height] as the vertical side.[Landscape] is the paper orientation with its [Height] as the horizontal side and its [Width] as the vertical side.

Layout Settings

Offset from upper left You can configure the margin setting for the top and left sides of the page of the PDF file.
  • The margin specified here will be set inside of the margin that was set using Page Setup within the application. Therefore, if you set a margin here for the PDF file, then all the pages will move to lower right of the original, which may result in an overflow that will be removed or generated as separate pages.
Scale You can specify the zoom level for the new PDF file.  The zoom setting does not affect the page size.
  • If a PDF file is created with a zoom setting of 50%, the content of the document will be reduced 50% (to A5 size) and placed on an A4 size page. If a zoom setting of 200% is specified, the content of the document will be increased 200% and placed on an A4 size page, but the overflowed area will be deleted or moved to separate pages.
