For Windows devices, the paper size depends on the installed printer or PDF drivers.

After installing a third party app follow the steps below:
  1.  Open the Project Plan 365 app and go to menu "File" – "Print" – "Print";

  5. After selecting the paper size, press "OK" in all dialogs, give a name for the PDF file and press “Save”;
