- Thread-topic: Setting Page Setup in Quark
I'm using Adobe: "4.3"
I altered the "Screen" page size in the "Acrobat Distiller" printer description on the station to be exactly the size I needed, using SimpleText.
Here's the relevant part of my script:
tell front document
tell print setup
set printer type to "Acrobat Distiller"
set paper size to "Screen"
set registration marks to off
end tell
end tell
How do you "set" a PPD?

What PPD are you using? You might need to set that before the paper width
