When I used Mathematica under Windows, I could control the page size of the pdf files created by Export[...,"PDF"] by setting the paper size in the print menu to the desired size before executing the Export command. In particular, I would set the paper size to Ledger, and when I opened the resulting files in Acrobat the page size would be listed as 10.83 x 16.83 in.

Now, I'm using Mathematica under Mac OS X, and this trick doesn't work. Is there some option for Export[...,"PDF"] that allows me to control the PDF page size of the output directly?

Update

The item I'm exporting is of the form CreateDocument[{item1,item2}], where item2 is a GraphicsGrid that contains ImageSize information. Unfortunately, when that information gets wrapped inside CreateDocument, Export[...,"PDF"] seems to ignore it when setting the PDF page size.
