Need Help using Adobe PDF Converter to programmatically create custom PDF Files

Question

We are upgrading from Adobe 5 to Adobe 9.  In Adobe 5, we set a few parameters in the __pdf.ini file to create a document with a specific Page Size.  For Example:
[Acrobat PDFWriter]
PDFFileName=
bDocInfo=0
Orient=1
bExecViewer=0
cpmarginwhole=18
cpwidepart=0
cpwidewhole=612
cpheightpart=0
cpheightwhole=792
Paper=0
Since upgrading to Adobe 9.2, this no longer appears to work.  I have also tried adding these values to the following Registry Locations with no luck:
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWriter
and
HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl
Is it still possible to create a custom page size using this method?  Or am I going to have to do that in a different way?

Answer 1

PDFWriter was removed in Acrobat 6 - so anything related to it hasn't worked for a decade now.
The Adobe PDF Printer is (like many other drivers) a special case of the standard Windows Postscript driver, any changes you make to its settings will be found and used accordingly.  So check with standard Windows docs on custom page sizes.  You should also look at the use of a custom JobOptions file for the Adobe PDFPrinter as well.
