I have a 6x9 Word document that I can't convert into a 6x9 PDF (even with the correct settings in place!)

Question

I'm trying to prepare a Word document for CreateSpace.  In the Word document the page size is set at Custom, 6"x9".
When I go to print it as a PDF, I select "Custom" and set the parameters at 6"x9".
Then the resulting PDF is still on 8.5"x11", with only half the page (the right half) with text on it.

Hi Peter,
Here's how I get custom pages in my PDFs:
In the print dialog, select the Adobe PDF Printer.
Click the "printer properties" link near the printer name.
In the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog, click the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab.
The fourth setting on the list is "Adobe PDF Page Size".
Click the "Add..." button on the right.
In the Add Custom Paper Size dialog, type a Paper Name (such as "My 6 x 9" or "custom 6 x 9").
Enter the size in the Width and Height fields.
Click Add/Modify.
Now, in the "Adobe PDF Page Size", select your custom page size from the list. The list is in alphabetical order.
Click the "Print" button.
Your PDF should be in the custom size.
You can check this in the PDF properties (File > Properties).
Regards,
Charlene
