Hello rihm,

If you are using the Drivers API SDK - you can specify the desired paper size via code at the time you initiate the printing.
Those paper sizes you have linked to are for end users to pre-specify so that they can select them later, but a Drivers API project should not be exposed to end users to manually select paper sizes. If you need your users to select such paper sizes - offer them all your desired options in your own dialogue, and then based on their selection - set the paper sizes for the drivers through your code.
If you are automating some process from AutoCad to PDF - you will deal with code alone anyway - so no UI interaction should be needed, and you can also set it so that the paper size is auto determined based on the input from the printing application.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello Richard,

You can download and take a look at the samples here:

Please note however that you will also need a developer license to use the above SDK package, and an end user license for the Standard driver will not suffice.

Regards,
Stefan
