Sheet setup for non-system plotters

[Qwerty_001]

I am working with a trial of AutoCAD LT for MAC to see if I like the program and I have run into a plotting issue. I work from a small office where the system printer can accomodate up to 11"x17" paper. I would typically print to PDF or Publish when I have larger format drawings that are then sent to a printing company.

When I go to my page setup, it will only let me select paper sizes that the system printer can accomodate. How do you set up either a 'None' or 'PDF' print setting for larger format sheets? I know that you can print to PDF on a Mac very easily, but it's the page setup that I can't complete. 

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi,

You even don't need to add special printer in Mac OS System preferences, the only one you need - add Custom paper size for large format output. Please read here about how-to:

Than create Named Page Setup(s) in your drawing(s) with this Custom paper size and use:

- Export to PDF from File menu

or - Batch publish to PDF (in batch publish dialog select Publish to: PDF)
