Specifying a custom page size
You can specify a custom page size using the Custom Page Size option in the Page Size
pop-up menu. This option is available only if you are using a printer that accommodates
various page sizes, such as a high-resolution imagesetter. The PPD file for a laser printer, for
example, does not provide this option.
The largest custom page size you can specify depends on the maximum imageable
area of your imagesetter. Consult the documentation on your specific printer for more
information.
To specify a custom page size:
1 In the Separation Setup dialog box, choose Custom from the Page Size pop-up menu.
2 Do one of the following:
To specify the smallest page size needed for your artwork and printer's marks, click OK
•
to accept the default values.
To specify a page size larger than the default, enter a new width and height in the Width
•
and Height fields. Be sure to increase the values; decreasing the default values may clip
your artwork.
If desired, change the placement of the page by entering a value in the Offset field.
•
In the first illustration, the page placement is off; in the second illustration, Offset shifts the
pages to the left.

The Offset value specifies the amount of space along the right side of the imageable area.
For example, entering a value of 30 points in the Offset option moves your page 30 points
to the left.
To rotate your page 90 degrees, select Transverse and click OK.
