To setup a Custom Page Size, please do the following:

1) First open the SmartDraw drawing you want to configure.

2) Go to the “Page” ribbon and click the Margins button and then choose “Define”.

3) Printer: Change the printer to the “SmartDraw PDF Filter”. If it is not yet installed, you can install it from here.

4) Once that is done, click the “Properties” button next to the “SmartDraw PDF Filter” printer selection and click the “Advanced” button at the bottom of the next dialog that appears.

5) In the “Printer Driver Advanced Options” dialog, go to the “Paper Size” option under “Paper Output” and click the “Edit Custom Page Size” button and define the page size there (in inches).

6) Once you are done, click OK all the way out, through the Page Setup screen. You will see the page margin lines disappear as the page size resets itself.

7) Now choose the Print button, make sure the “SmartDraw PDF Filter” is selected and click OK. You will be prompted to save your PDF after it finishes compiling the PDF.
