Yes, I did try it too.

I think could be adobe acrobat reader issue.

Have you try to open the file attach. Is everything normal for you?

just a hint:

right click on your pdf file and select any other program from "open with" option.

I ve opened on Google, Firefox and it is normal. But It isn't get a custom paper size just like adobe reader does.

That's the problem of other programs!

My adobe reader is not normal, is taking about 15 - 25 minutes to respond after open that file. It is drive me crazy!
