Hi,
Could you please give me some advice or help me figure out Print to PDF settings.
I have two questions concerning to create PDFs files via Microsoft Print to PDF.
To my understanding Print to PDF with Revit does not create PDF files for bigger paper sizes(A0,A1, E,D,). The only way is by creating the desired paper sizes in: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers. The other way I guess is with Add-ins?
Thanks in advance for your Kind Advice.
the following images are where the paper sizes are shown in Properties and in Setup

The paper sizes you show in the top screenshot, the setup page are the page sizes that are available for that particular printer within Revit. So each printer can have a different list of sizes. This is the page size setting you choose to print your Revit documents/drawings to.
The one under properties means that you basically leave Revit and go to the windows settings for the printer itself. Would be the same when you are in windows and open the printer settings and go to the preferences page of the printer. These printer settings would meant that they will be shared between all software on your computer.
If you can make new pages sizes will depend on the printer you use. It is dependent on the maker of the printer if these possibilities are there. So check the help of that particular (PDF) printer. Most PDF printers have at least something like the Postscript Custom Page Size.
This can be used to print to a custom size paper. However this then means you only can have one. So if you have to change between custom paper sizes you have to modify these settings with each change.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
but apparently there is no way to create the paper sizes from the properties menu as it seems to be grayed out or no options are visible. that operation must be done in control panel correct?

This outlines the process required to add custom page sizes to Microsoft Print to PDF. It's a bit of a tricky process and may require some trial & error. I've attached my .gdp file, just change the file extension from .txt to .gdp and use it when following the instructions above. We've used this at my firm for about 2 years now without issue.
