I created a new document (Form) in Adobe and noticed the standaard page size is Letter. It seems impossible to change this to A4. In prvious Acrobat versions this was possible in preferences > new document etc, but I just can't find this option in PRO DC. Any suggestions?

In Acrobat you can use the crop tool to change the page size.

Not to set it to A4. It only allows you to go to larger paper sizes. I'm pretty frustrated. See the screenshot below, the A4 option is grayed out and can not be selected. Why do I have to search for 30+ minutes to change to a standard paper size on Acrobat DC Pro and end up settling for asking for help on a post from two years ago? FYI trying to select a smaller size in custom does not work either.

There's no "New Document" option in Preferences, and there's no way to change that. You can use a script, though, to add a new menu item that will give you options of creating files with different page sizes.

Are you kidding? It is not possible in Acrobat to choose which formats you want your documents? I am desperate, trying to have documents in acrobat in A4 instead of letter. Where can I buy that script you are talking about?

I moved your post over from the poorly named "Using the Community" forum, which is for getting help using this forum system, to a better forum.

I hope this helps. Best of luck to you.
