3. Click on the Forms tab.
4. Turn on the "Create a new form" checkbox, then enter a name and the size and margin options as desired then press the "Save Form" button.

Windows Vista / Windows 7

1. Go to Start | Devices and Printers
2. Click once on your Printer (or PDF Driver) to highlight it, then click on "Print server properties" near the top of the window.
3. Click on the Forms tab.
4. Turn on the "Create a new form" checkbox, then enter a name and the size and margin options as desired then press the "Save Form" button.
