I need pdf for video projection mostly, and what I want there is not
portrait (21x29.7cm in A4) nor landscape (29.7x21cm in A4) but
« video portrait » (someting like 29x23cm) which is not a standard AFAIK.
Here I didn't found any other solution than exporting every page to eps
and reinsering in this pseudo-portait geometry, all done in a perl script.
By the way, as I need PPT in PDF as well (for WWW publish there),
I use the same trick by exporting to PNG that time.
