Please learn to use google. Thanks.
That is one of the most asked questions ... you need to use
geometry or something else that sets the pdf paper size. LaTeX does not
know about pdf paper sizes.
Please someone closes this bug, PBCAS.

[Bug 244043] Re: pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified
I agree that we shouldn't have to use an additional package to get letter-sized output. However, I can confirm that Stefan's solution works with texlive-base version 2007-13. -- pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 244043] Re: pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified
But this really ought to work the way its supposed to. When I use MikTeX on Windows, typing "letterpaper" makes it letter-sized. I shouldn't *have* to use additional options. -- pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 244043] Re: pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified
With the letterpaper option \paperwidth and \paperheight will be set correctly.
For use with pdflatex you could modify the appropriate sizes:
\setlength{\pdfpagewidth}{\paperwidth}
\setlength{\pdfpageheight}{\paperheight}
It will fix this minimal example. The problem will vanish if you use
additional packages designed for pdflatex. \usepackage{graphicx} will
fix it too, also color, xcolor, hyperref.
