These three are free PDF Plotters, they should all be able to plot to A1. Really, so should the PDF-plotter you have... If you head into plot - properties, you can't find it there?

PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/primopdf_free_idx.aspx)

CutePDF (http://www.cutepdf.com/)

Close down AutoCAD.
Goto Windows Control Panel.
Select the printer you wish to use to print pdf's.
Set up a custom paper size, and rename it to A1 (dimensions of A1 paper are 841mm wide x 594mm high).
Set this A1 custom paper size to be your default.
Restart AutoCAD, load up your drawing.
Now A1 should be an option in your paper sizes for that printer

and if you press okey on that box, you can't select the A1 paper then in the list?
