Creating custom page sizes
You can create a custom page size from scratch, or you can modify a preset page size. When you create a custom page size, it is added to the printer’s page size selection as a preset. Therefore, you can apply the custom size to more than one document. If you no longer require the custom or modified page sizes, you can delete the page size or restore the default page sizes.
In addition, you can divide a physical page into several logical pages. Dividing pages is useful when you want to create small documents, such as pamphlets, raffle tickets, or business cards.
This is an example of how you can divide pages.
