Change paper size or orientation from command line Posted by Craig Lebakken on 27 July 2007 02:10 PM
Question: Is it possible to change the Win2PDF paper size or orientation from a command prompt? Answer: It isn't possible to set standard Windows settings such as paper size or orientation using the registry, but you can change these settings using a command line tool called "setprinter.exe" available in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools available at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96ee-b18c4790cffd&displaylang=en The following command can be used to change the paper size for the current user: setprinter.exe "Win2PDF" 9 "pdevmode=dmFormName=A4" You can change the "dmFormName=A4" to any paper size supported by Win2PDF. The following command can be used to change the orientation for the current user to landscape: setprinter.exe "Win2PDF" 9 "pdevmode=dmOrientation=2"
