Title: Where does Mac store custom paper sizes?
Post by: DLP Graphics on January 16, 2012, 11:17:55 pm

Can anyone tell me where Mac's store custom paper sizes? Over the years I have looked for them but can't find them. Whenever I get a new computer or reload an old one I end up having to create my custom sizes again.

Thanks

they should have transferred over if you use(d) Migration Assistant.

Anyway, here (in your $HOME folder)..........

Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompapers.plist

Although it will be a binary plist so you can't read it (unless you convert to text via the 'plutil -convert xml1' terminal utility)

<key>7x10 Card</key>
        <dict>
                <key>bottom</key>
                <real>9</real>
                <key>custom</key>
                <true/>
                <key>height</key>
                <real>504</real>
                <key>id</key>
                <string>7x10 Card</string>
                <key>left</key>
                <real>9</real>
                <key>name</key>
                <string>7x10 Card</string>
                <key>printer</key>
                <string> </string>
                <key>right</key>
                <real>9</real>
                <key>top</key>
                <real>9</real>
                <key>width</key>
                <real>720</real>
        </dict>
