The largest custom paper size you can specify depends on the maximum imageable
area of your imagesetter. For more information, consult the documentation for your
specific printer.
Note: Custom paper size options for non-PostScript printing won't be accessible from the
InDesign Print dialog box. To set those printer-specific features, click Setup (Windows),
Printer (Mac OS), or Page Setup (Mac OS) in the InDesign Print dialog box. Check the
documentation for your non-PostScript printer driver for details.
To specify a custom paper size:
1 Select a PPD (PostScript printers) or printer driver (non-PostScript printers) that
supports custom paper sizes. You can use the PostScript File option to set up the PPD.
For more information, see
2 In the Setup panel of the Print dialog box, choose Custom in the Paper Size menu.
3 To specify width and height, do one of the following:
To let InDesign determine the smallest paper size needed for your document's
•
contents, printer's marks, and bleeds, select Auto for Width and Height. Auto, the
default option, is also useful if you have different sized pages in a book and you're
printing on continuous media, such as a roll of film or photosensitive paper
To specify a paper size larger than the default, enter new dimensions in the Width and
•
Height text boxes. Be sure to increase the values; decreasing the default values may clip
your document.
4 To change the placement of the page on the film, enter a value for Offset.
The Offset value specifies the amount of space along the left side of the imageable area.
For example, entering a value of 30 points in the Offset option shifts your page 30 points
to the right.

Page without offset (left), and same page with offset applied (right):
