Hello,We are about to deliver a large project in another town. So we think it is a good idea to make PDFs and use them for plotting there. The problem is I don't know how to make a pdf for roll paper. It looks like I'm gonna need a 120 cm roll paper, I think it is about 48". And the approximate length of a set (of many) may be about 12-15 meters. So I thought I could make a custom paper size for 1200 x 15000 mm. But the pdf drivers in my disposal don't let me. They say it is larger than what the device supports.And I have Acrobat X Pro and Bluebeam Cad 2015 here. I don't know if its possible if these 2 can't do the job. I even tried to make a page with HEIDI option of Bluebeam, but can't make a custom page that big.Is there a way to manage this? Trying to make one page seems silly.Thank you in advance.Emre, an architect in deadline crisis (who is not?).

Hello John,Thanks for the answer, but my problem is about paper type. I need my drawings plotted as one long 15 m roll of paper, so they are then folded to be delivered to authorities.

Wouldn't a multipage PDF plot as a single long piece of paper when done on a plotter that uses a roll of paper?
