Default Preparing for 'printing' to PDF?

I have the freeware version of PDF Creator so I can use Print To > PDF Creator from Word 2003. I hadn't used it (nor Word) for ages until the project that arose yesterday, so I may have missed something basic.

I had several documents. All took the form of a title followed by series of full width images interspersed with explanatory text. But the best PDF I could get usually looked like this:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4019461/ExamplePDF-1.jpg

I would have preferred to get right away from those A4 pages and see my material on essentially a continuous background, with much less vertical white space. The reader could then just scroll down.

I even tried using the custom paper size 'Continuous' in Word (which was anyway limited to the odd size of 57.67 cm, no idea why), but that got me in a worse mess.

No editing appears possible in PDF Creator, so it's up to me to get it right in Word first. Any advice would be appreciated please.
