Bob,
That starts with the "Page Set Up" found under "Print" when setting up your .layout file for printing. You scale your layout page (file) for the target paper size (HD Pro's maximum native size is Architectural "C" (18" x 24").
Once this set up is properly done by you, you then set up your PDF print drivers to match your target paper size.
You send views from the .plan file (which has a native scale of 1' = 1') and scale down to fit your target paper size (usually 1/4" or 1/8" =1' depending upon the size of your project views).
One printed page = one .layout file, properly set up by you.

Hey David -
Goodto hear from you - hope the Holiday Season finds you well.
So after reading your e-mail I went back to Staples with my flash drive and asked them to look at how the pdf file was going to print - they said it was going to be 6 sheets of 8.5 x 11" paper. Not right. Is there a specific step by step set of directions that I can follow that may solve this problem? I just am doing something basically wrong.
Thanks,
Bob
