[texhax] Parchment layout

[Charles-Pierre Astolfi]

I tried the following syntax in my preamble:
\vsize = \maxdimen
\pdfpageheight = \maxdimen

\setlength{\vsize}{\maxdimen}
\setlength{\vsize}{\maxdimen}

\vsize \maxdimen
\pdfpageheight \maxdimen

None of this worked. What am I doing wrong ? I'm using miktex, btw.
Specifically, my first try gave back a 6-page blank pdf. The pages
were very long though.

Thanks
