I have Print to PDF "printer" installed on my Win10 system and, generally, it works fine.
The (default) installed page sizes are: A3, A4, A5, B4 (JIS), B5 (JIS), Executive, Legal, Letter, Statement, and Tabloid.
Unfortunately, I need to make larger format "prints": ARCH C (18"x24"), ARCH D (24"x36"), and ARCH E1 (30"x42").
Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Printers > Microsoft Print to PDF > Print server properties (ribbon bar) > Forms (tab) lists a whole slew of available forms, including the three that I need. What it doesn't appear to allow is to install these pre-defined standard form/page sizes to the list of those that can be selected when using the printer.
Does anyone know how to install these pre-defined form/page sizes?
Thanks in advance!

Hi N R AZ,
"I'm hoping to discover how to "install" more page sizes from the list of defined forms, as outlined in my first post."
According to my research and test, I am afraid it is not available. It is by design.
Best regards

Thank you for your response, MeipoXu. Unfortunately, the Advanced preferences selection list only includes the page sizes that are installed: A3, A4, A5, B4 (JIS), B5 (JIS), Executive, Legal, Letter, Statement, and Tabloid.
I'm hoping to discover how to "install" more page sizes from the list of defined forms, as outlined in my first post.
Cheers.

I'm sorry if this sounds blunt, but what kind of backwards design is this? The list of available forms are there and yet Microsoft Print to PDF will not allow us to select from that list of forms?
Why are we not able to print to say an ARCH D size paper? It's not like I have to create the form, it is already there! It was do-able with Adobe Acrobat 9 and as far as I can tell, all Mac's have that option natively built in. Microsoft finally incorporates this feature, to print to pdf, and we can't print to anything other than the 10 sizes?
What kind of design flaw logic is that?
