I've not tried this, but the ppd file is a text file. Copy ghostpdf.ppd someplace and open with a text editor. Have a look through it and you'll see the page sizes; modify accordingly and then save the file with a different name (perhaps myghostpdf.ppd). Now create a new pdf printer using myghostpdf.ppd and see if that works for you. You may also need to experiment with the OOo page settings as well. If ISO B5 isn't setting up properly it may be your OOo settings that are causing the problem. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
