AutoCAD PDF Page Setup Specification Pack: A4-A0 + ARCH D/E
Turn this specification into real named Page Setups
Windows: use the automatic builder. Mac: use the separate Mac assistant to open PAGESETUP, create the named setup, then audit the stored PLOTSETTINGS values.
A build-and-QA specification for standardized AutoCAD PDF Page Setups across ISO A4-A0 and ARCH D/E.

Compatibility: Build specification; native Page Setups must be created/tested in AutoCAD
Test status: Phase 10D generated file QA passed
What the pack defines
It contains named setup targets for A4, A3, A2, A1, A0, ARCH D and ARCH E in portrait and landscape. The standard uses Layout as the output area and 1:1 paper output, with an office-approved CTB/STB.
Why this is a specification rather than an untested DWT
Available paper/media names can depend on the installed PDF/plotter configuration and AutoCAD environment. Build the named Page Setups in AutoCAD using the installed DWG To PDF.pc3, select the media whose dimensions match the target paper, preview and validate before saving a DWT/DWG source.
Use the pack for standardization
The CSV gives your office one naming convention and a QA target without hard-coding a canonical media name that may not exist on another installation.
Frequently asked questions
Does this ZIP contain a DWT?
No. It is the build specification for a native, tested Page Setup source.
Why not hard-code exact media names?
Canonical media names can vary with driver, version or configuration; dimensions must be verified against the installed output device.
What should I do after building the setups?
Preview representative sheets, create PDFs, measure known dimensions, then store the approved Page Setups in a controlled DWT/DWG source.
