Windows Page Size Fix

By default, Windows does not allow regular (non-administrator-priveledged users) to create new page sizes. Because our documentation for creating PDF files relies on this capability, certain users may not be able to perform this task on systems outside of the ITG where the following fix may not have been applied.

To implement the fix, you must run as an administrator the following commands/perform the following steps:

1. Run regedt32
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Print
3. Click Edit -> New -> DWORD Value
4. Name the new DWORD "AllowUserManageForms" (sans quotes)
5. Double-click the new DWORD
6. Change the value to a large number like 400
7. Click "OK"
8. Reboot the machine

This fix permits up to 400 (or whatever large number was set in step 6) page size changes before the system must be rebooted. Given Window's propensity to reboot frequently, a large limit will likely never be reached.
