Paper sizes

[John Hodgson]

Dear Dominic

I use

dvipsone -d=destinationfile.ps -l=442*663 dvifile.dvi

The -l parameters here are for a UK book size 234x156 mm

This produces a postscript file which I then distill in Acrobat Distiller;
it comes out exactly the correct size

Or have I misunderstood your question??

Best wishes

John

Subject: Paper sizes

Hello Group,

I have placed the following messages in TUGIndia, regarding the Page Sizes
of LaTeX job. They have suggested me to write to Y&Y support directly.
Kindly advice me on this.

I have to get a PAGE SIZE of 6 x 9 inches. If I make the ps like this,

  c:\yandy\dvipsone\dvipsone -l=432*638 -*P=432*638 sample.dvi

it is giving on bigger paper size (in PS 8.667 x 13.778 inches), and in the
PDF generation it is croping on right and top, and showing 6 x 9 inches
exactly.


In PDF Output:
_______________
|XXXXXXXXXXXXXX|
|XXXXXXXXXXXXXX|
|XXXXXXXXXXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|  6 x 9 in  |----------|--> visible in PDF, Cropped right and top
| (2.667 x 4.778")
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|
|MMMMMM|XXXXXX|----> Bigger Paper size (8.6 x 13.7 inches)
|_______ |______|


whereas as, I require only page size to be 6 x 9 inches without any cropped
areas in PDF. How to get this page size exactly.

Thanks in advance.

with regards,
Dominic
