Dwg to PDF?

Normally I am happy printing my Dwg drawings on my Inkjet printer using 8.5 x 11 paper.
I now have a drawing that measures about 18 x 18. and I need to print it.
I spoke to Staples and they said they could do it if it was a PDF file.
I used Plot and a printer name of Bulldog PDF Printer.
This gave me a PDF version of the drawing but it only showed me that portion of the
drawing that fit on a 8.5 x 11 sheet.
How do I get this full size into a PDF file?
Thanks for any and all help.
PS I am using AC LT 2008.

Not familiar with that exact brand, but printing to PDF is no different that printing to paper: start by checking your exact plot settings and parameters, if they fail, you need to share a lot more info than you have so far.
BTW, is there a reason you chose not to use the built in PDF driver in LT2008?

The reason I did not use the built in PDF printer is because I did not know it was there.
Thanks for pointing that out.
I have now used it and I think I have what I need..
I will see when I take the file to Staples.
Thanks for the help
