set/change default page size Acrobat DC Win 10 Tools/Create PDF/Blank Page

I want to use Acrobat Pro DC on Win 10 to create a new blank PDF, with the page size defaulting to A4.

If I go: Tools/Create PDF/Blank Page/Create, it is always US Letter size.

Is there a settings file I can change to get this to be A4 (or something else?).

I suspect it will be a .joboptions file - if so, how do I create it, what should I call it, and which folder should I put it in?

Thanks in advance,

Peter Whan

Did you ever find a solution for this, so it opens new PDFs in A4 without using templates or having to first use a Word document? I'm having the same issue even though I've changed everything I can possibly find to be changed to A4 size. My online search for answers is not going well at all.

You can't change it.

Really bad constraint.... A4 is the international page size for non-US users.... still unresolved in May 2021...

It can be done with a script, but you can also simply convert a blank Word document with the desired page size to a PDF and then use it as a template.

Job options not involved. If the option resets each time you are probably stuck. Consider having a stock PDF with a blank a4 page: you can insert the PDF.
