I want to print 17"x 22" c size drawings from a file. I can set up the page in printing preferences using customize but after hitting ok, dopdf resets to letter.

The page settings vary depending on which application you print from. For instance, if you're printing from notepad, if you change the setting properties for dopdf through the notepad interface to 17x22, then everytime you'll print from that instance of notepad it will remember this size; however, if you close and re-open notepad it will rever to the predefined. Same when printing from word, if you set it once and then (without restarting word) print to it, the custom size will be remembered, otherwise reverted to the default one.
The best way to handle this is to set the page size directly in the application you print from, as dopdf will first use that page size and after that try to overwrite it (if you chose so).
