    Default disable "Choose paper source by DWF page size" option

    The users in our network print their A2-drawings with Design Review2008:
    > see [incorrect] in PrintDialog.jpg
    > setting Papersize to A4
    > setting the "page handles" option on the print dialog to "Choose paper source by DWF page size" = true
    >>>> and receiving a A2-output.

    Our print account management is only accounting the papersize A4 from the print dialog !!!
    The question is: How can we get a correct print account management ???

    The print dialog receives the according paper-sizes from the printer driver and fills the listbox.
    The printed paper-size comes from the DWF-page-size an has nothing to do with the listbox.
    IMHO this is the source of the mistake: The print account management is listening for windows-messages
    >The generated windows-messages from the PrintDialog are NOT based on the sizes seen in the yellow rectangle.
    >I have always thought about the sizes in the yellow rectangle, that these are the results, the conclusion of all my inputs in the print dialog
    >Even if I don't change anything in the appearing print dialog, with the "Choose paper source by DWF page size" option =true, the accounted papersize is wrong !!!

    If the users would choose:
    > see [correct] in PrintDialog.jpg
    > setting the paper-size manually
    > AND
    > setting the "page handles" option on the print dialog to "Choose paper source by DWF page size" = false,
    >>>> all will be fine
    > the choosen paper-size will be printed even if the DWF page size is larger
    > AND the printed paper-size will be accounted correct!!!
    > Look at the correct part from PrintDialog.jpg and you can see the correct paper size in the yellow rectangle !!!

    A primary possible solution is:
    >disable the "Choose paper source by DWF page size" option on the print dialog,
    >therefore the users have to select the correct papersize manually...

    How can we disable the "Choose paper source by DWF page size" option:
    >setting a key in the registry ???

    A secondary solution is:
    >let the print account management know the REALLY printed page-size
    >this looks like a naming-conflict...

    thank you for your tipps&tricks...

    by the way:
    >i have posted this message two days ago in the autodesk-discussion-group Design Review2008
    >i have never seen my posting in the thread-list and therefore nobody will answer...
    >the problem described here is a problem between our print account management and Design Review2008 (DWF-Viewer7 and DWF-Viewer5 also) and we must solve this problem as quick as possible

    thanks again for your inputs!

    I would suggest (re)posting this in the autodesk Design Review newsgroup. There is more reader traffic there including Autodesk employees.
