We need to change the paper size for the default printer before printing a
PDF file from within a VB.Net application.

printDocument printerSettings is not appropriate as there is no document to
print.

Any help is greately appreciated.

How do you print that file?
 
The file is printed using an Adobe Actobat control dimmed in code. Here is
the snippet.

CType(avDoc, Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc).Open(strFileName, "")

pdDoc = CType(avDoc, Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc).GetPDDoc

nbrPages = CType(pdDoc, Acrobat.CAcroPDDoc).GetNumPages()

CType(avDoc, Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc).PrintPages(0, nbrPages - 1, 1, 1, 1)

CType(avDoc, Acrobat.CAcroAVDoc).Close(0)

Still looking for help setting paper size on a printer. I can zap a byte
in the DevMode reg key for the printer but that's a real hack.

I can set the default printer using ManagementObject and
InvokeMethod("SetDefaultPrinter") to set the printer I wish. However, I
cannot find a way via ManagementObject to set paper size.

Thanks again for any help on this.
