Oversize Slide to PDF

I'm trying to generate a PDF file containing a single poster-size
Powerpoint slide (44.5 inches square). I get a document that size, but
the content is clipped. By this I mean that the upper left part of the
page (a square perhaps 25x25) looks fine, but the rightmost 19.5
inches and the bottom 19.5 inches are blank.

In Powerpoint, I went into File>PageSetup and set the custom size,
which was immediately reflected in the rulers. I placed content on
different parts of the slide. Then I went into File>Print, selected
Distiller, and in its properties dialog declared the same custom size.
I proceeded to create the Postscript file and converted to PDF using
the Distiller app. No warnings or error messages along the way.

I can open the PDF in Acrobat. It reports the correct page size, but
the content is incomplete as described above.

Windows 2000
Powerpoint 2000 SR-1
Distiller 5.0.0

Explanations and suggestions please. TIA.
