<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an Access application that prints pdf files by using the command line switches for adobe reader. &nbsp;This works fine except that when I change the papersize for a printer using the printer object:<br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Application.Printer.PaperS<wbr />ize = acPRPS11x17) <br />
<br />
and then print the drawing using Adobe reader:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;c:\program files (x86)\adobe\reader9.0\read<wbr />er\acrord3<wbr />2.exe /t &lt;drawingpath&gt;<br />
<br />
it does not use the new paper size settings.<br />
Is this because I am calling an application outside of Access?
