Custom Paper size for PDF Plot

Hey All,

 

I am trying to creat a PDF of a file I need to send to someone to plot.  The paper size needs to be 220" long by 36" wide.  Everything I have tried I can not create or modify paper size to something this large.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Easy, Go into the pdf properties and select custom paper size. Change to what you need and do a "Saveas". Close out and then in AutoCAD select the custom paper size you created and named.

It will not let me make a paper size longer than 200 inches

So to clarify: you have an AutoCAD doc that is 220"x36". You have someone that needs to print off the 220"x36" document on one, unbroken sheet. They have a giant printer but they don't have a copy of AutoCAD. They want the file in a .pdf format because they do not own AutoCAD.

 

Please tell me if I've got this right.

 

If I do have this right, I would have them install a trial version of CAD or something like LT or some similar programs, to open up this single file and print it; or else, break the huge image down into 11x17 or 8.5x11 or 8.5x14 units and make into a multipage pdf, so they could print from a normal printer and reassemble on their desk.
