No, the concept is different. If you send the document to the
phototypesetter, you pay the amount of te film used. In order to
reduce the cost the physical size have to be as small as possible.
>From technological point of view the crop marks must have certain size
and a bleed area of certain size is required. As default these sizes
are set to 5mm because this is required by most print houses in the
Czech Republic. What you have to define are dimensions after trimming.
If the cropmarks option is set, the physical size of the media is set
so that it includes the bleed area (cropgap) and the area with the
crop marks (croplength). The boxes are set properly in PDF in xelatex
with xdvipdfmx, in pdflatex, and in latex+dvips. TrimBox is the box
containing the page after trimming. ArtBox is set to the same values,
BleedBox is set so that it includes the bleed area. MediaBox and
CropBox are not set by the package because they are set automatically
by the drivers using information on the paper size stored in
\paperwidth and \paperheight (these values are sent to the drivers).
It sometimes happen that I have A5 or B5 size document with crop marks
and I wish to print it centered on A4 using my laser printer. This can
be easily achieved by Acrobat Reader, it is just a matter of selecting
an option in the print dialogue. This is the reason why I do not set
the media size explicitely.

You can try zwpagelayout. I wrote it because geometry can do the
things that I do not need and cannot (or could not) do what I need
every day. Versions 1.3 has just been released on CTAN, it will soon
appear in TeX Live. The previous versions had problems with the
ifxetex package, thus it was necessary to load fontspec after
awpagelayout. The problem is fixed in 1.3.

Could be, show the log-file of your compilation.
But check at first if something did go wrong in the copy & paste.
Faulty line breaks or non-standard (invisible) space chars are often
the cause of "missing \begin{document}"-errors.

Re: [XeTeX] centering layout with geometry package
I'm afraid I'm confused with regards to the zwpagelayout package. In
the geometry package, there are two basic areas:
1. The physical page (e.g. a4 size paper)
2. The layout area (e.g. a5 size paper) that fits somewhere on the
physical page
By default, the two areas are identical, but they can be set
differently. And all the basic parameters such as spacing for margins,
header, footers, text area height and text area width ... they all
refer to what is *inside* (not outside) the layout area.
Is this same concept available in the zwpagelayout package? Or do the
margin parameters refer to distance from the outside borders of the
layout area to the borders of the physical page?

There seems to be no way of asking for a centered layout area on the
physical page. Looks like you do have to set layouthoffset and
layoutvoffset manually.
Still my remark concerning having both "centering" and "margin=10mm" in the
options list holds true. They affect the same internal values, one
overwriting the other.

I am very interested in trying this. When I looked on ctan, it said
that what was currently there was version 1.2. However the readme says
version 1.3 with a date of 2011 November 22 and the pdf documentation
also has a date of 2011 November 22 (but no version number). So I
would guess that what is currently there is version 1.3, as you

I don't see an explicit option, but it is not difficult to calculate
the offset automatically:
\documentclass{book}
\setlength{\parskip}{0mm}%
\setlength{\parindent}{0mm}%

Hi Susan,
Thank you for your reply to my question.

Both the centering and margin parameters refer to layout *inside* the
layout area, not outside it. For example, centering can allow your
text area to be centered within the layout area.
By default, the layout area *is* the physical page. But you can set
the layout to be *different* then the page.
The example given in the geometry package manual is to use an a5 size
layout area on a4 paper. In this example, a parameter of margin=10mm
would refer to margins *inside* the a5 size layout area, not outside
the a5 area.
> What is it that you want?
In the example above, I would want to center the a5 size layout area
on the a4 size physical paper, I want the text area to be contained
somewhere inside the a5 area with margins around it, and I want crop
marks on the a4 size area but outside the a5 layout area.
Thank you again,
Dan

What is it that you want? centering or marin=10mm? I guess geometry just
uses the last directive concerning margins that you give, thus overwriting
the result of 'centering' the moment it read the margin directive. A margin
of 1cm might just be what you call 'pushed into the upper left corner'.
Hope that helps,
Susan

[XeTeX] centering layout with geometry package
Using the geometry package, is there any way to automatically (without
using layouthoffset and layoutvoffset) to center a layout area on a
physical page? The default seems for the layout to be pushed into the
upper left corner of the physical page. Here is an example:
\documentclass{book}
\setlength{\parskip}{0mm}%
\setlength{\parindent}{0mm}%
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
xetex,truedimen,paper=a4paper,
centering,twoside=false,
ignoreall,
layoutheight=200mm,layoutwidth=100mm,
margin=10mm,
nomarginpar,noheadfoot,
showframe,showcrop
}
\begin{document}%
abc
\end{document}%
Many thanks in advance,
Dan
