    Note: When printing with TotalFlow PM PDF Print Driver on Mac OS X, the paper size information is automatically picked from the print dialog and added in the job ticket, as manual paper. You can either leave this manual paper setting as it is, or select a paper from the catalog. If you choose to keep the manual paper setting, make sure that the TotalFlow Production Manager printer is configured to support a manual paper with the same size and add the paper on the printer’s input tray.
