Preparing a 30×42 Site-Plan Print
Short answer: 30×42 inches is ARCH E1. Start with a PDF prepared at that size, check its issue and page dimensions, and order the number of complete copies you need. This page focuses on file preparation rather than repeating the general size page.
Confirm the sheet, not just the building footprint
In a PDF viewer, read the page dimensions and check every page in a mixed set. A landscape sheet may be listed as 42×30. A 30×42 title block is not proof that the PDF itself was exported at that size.
Keep margins and drawing scale separate
Match each PDF page size to the sheet size you select. A size mismatch can rescale the drawing. Before using a print for measurement, check a known written dimension or graphic scale; use specified dimensions for construction.
If a receiving office requires another sheet size, ask the preparer to produce the appropriate layout. Do not assume changing the paper choice will preserve the written scale.
Count the copies

Color is $3.75 per sheet; B&W is $1.95. Shipping and any eligible promotion are applied separately at checkout.
Before uploading
- Use the authorized issue and keep the sheet index in order.
- Split other page sizes and color choices into separate files and order items.
- Check approval stamps, seals and signature requirements with the receiving office.
- Enter the number of copies of the file, not pages multiplied by copies.
PDF files print true to scale. Prepare the file at the intended physical dimensions and choose the matching sheet size. Check the drawing’s stated dimensions before using a print for measurement.
