How to Change Output Size of Label PDF in Bullzip

Description

Bullzip's default size to output a pdf is 8x11, which would be fine in most cases. However, to have pdf's as backups, or when printing them in one place as a pdf and then emailing the pdf to be printed at another location on a label printer, size does matter. A label printer is not going to be able to print all labels at 8x11. So, how do you change the output size when you print out of Loftware to Bullzip so the pdf is the same size as the label in Design 32?

Example:

The label in Design 32 is designed for a 4 x 6 label stock, you need the pdf generated from Bullzip to also be a 4 x 6, because the pdf is being emailed to another location to be printed to a local thermal printer.
