Tabloid Printing from Generate Outputs

rherbon

I can't get my projects to consistently generate pdf documentation (BOM and Schematics) as an 11x17 tabloid size paper.  I've tried changing the page setup on the BOM and schematic in the generate output dialog (picture below) but that doesn't seem to do anything.  The option is there for the tabloid, but it still generates the pdf as a letter size.  I tried changing the page setup in the default print dialog and that didn't seem to change anything except what happens when I hit the output->print button.  I can go to output->print and print the file to pdf as a tabloid, but then I don't have the embedded metadata properties about the parts that helps assembly.  I've been fighting this for a few years now.  Am I missing something or is it just the way it is?

  • You all are awesome.  I think it was both the outjob and printer driver messing me up.  I deleted the outjob and that didn't change anything.  Generate outputs still had the same list of paper sizes so I'm assuming the same printer driver.  Then, I re-applied my template file to the project and deleted the outjob again and I got a different list of paper sizes (I'm assuming a different print driver).  That one worked.  Thank you very much for the help.

    I'm not sure but you may have had to restart CS or just close and reopen the project after deleting the outjob file or its configurations may be still in the memory.  That may be why you still had the same paper sizes.  Anyway, glad it got you on the right track.
