I am trying to conduct some testing for a new document watermarking customization and I'm finding it difficult to test the watermarks against each paper size (A1, A2, A3 etc) and orientation (Landscape, Portrait) because I have no way to search our huge document archive by these criteria? Is there anything in the index or DB to allow me to search by paper size/orientation? I am working with PDFs.

I do not believe there is anything in the database tracking paper size. There is however dependency information stored between the drawings and the formats. Just find a format with the paper size your'e interested in and then look for drawings that use that format. ('Related Objects' tab > 'Referenced By' table)
When I was doing watermark testing here I created a new drawing with one sheet for each format (size). Then I could just republish that one drawing to see how the watermarking worked for every possible paper size. This was much easier than publishing a bunch of separate drawings over and over again.

Thanks, I see what you mean after a bit of testing. It is useful to know. As you answered my question about the existence of paper size in the DB I will accept your post as the solution.
