[pdftex] Setting up envelopes

[The Thanh Han]

using latex is simple:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[
pdftex,
paperwidth=4in,
paperheight=2in,
left=0pt,
right=0pt,
top=0pt,
bottom=0pt,
nofoot,
nohead] {geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

The reason of strange behaviour in your plain tex file is that if
\pdfhorigin and/or \pdfvorigin is set to 0pt, then an value of 1in is used
instead. To get no margin/top, set them to 1sp instead.

HTH,
Thanh
