Switching the orientaion to lansdcape will make the dimensons correct but then the pdf file is sideways. To replicate: Try creating a custom paper type that is 5 in x 3 in. Print a document that is wider than it is tall. The resulting pdf file will have your content jammed at the top of a page that is 3 in x 5 in.
