%%BeginPaperSize:
%%EndPaperSize
The comments %%BeginFeature: and %%EndFeature should be substituted.
What is the exact syntax, please?
I wonder what this change would break, ie, what (if anything) uses the
begin/endpapersize. Is it possible to use both?
Similarly, the %%Papersize comment is (loc. cit., p 101)
to be replaced (since 1992) by a %%PageMedia comment.
Is the syntax for %%PageMedia the same, that is,
%%PageMedia: Letter
Or did Adobe make it more complicated?
And again, would it work to add the pagemedia comment to config.ps in
addition to the %%PaperSize, or does it have to replace? I would be
worried that other software might still want %%PaperSize, however old it
is. (Even if Adobe likes to be incompatible, we don't have to.)
I'm not sure why the "@ A4Size" has a %%PaperSize comment, but the
"@ letterSize" doesn't. Tom(s)?
Thanks,
Karl
