Re: [XeTeX] Custom page size
Thank you for your suggestions. I have found out that for the overall needs of the particular document with this special page format the memoir class will be the best solution. Best regards, S. -- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
Re: [XeTeX] Custom page size
Hi all,
In my humble opinion, the best you can do when it comes to custom paper sizes
is to use the memoir class. The memoir manual (memman.pdf) has an excellent
description of how latex treats the size of the stock, the page, and the folio.
The memoir package includes the geometry package, but the memoir packages adds
a "geometry check" to make sure that everything is well-balanced and
equilibrated.
Cheers,
Wilfred

Re: [XeTeX] Custom page size
I am using the KOMA packages, e.g. scrbook, and the crop package to
print marks for the paper cutter. Thus, the custom page is printed in
the centre of an A4 page.
\documentclass[10pt,twoside,titlepage,paper=138mm:208mm,DIV=calc,index=totoc]{scrbook}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center,noinfo]{crop}
But maybe KOMA is recommended more for a German speaking context.

I think you will have better luck with this:
%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage[papersize={155mm,240mm}]{geometry}
...

Hi,
I myself use the package geometry with much success :)

[XeTeX] Custom page size
Hi all,
I need help with xetexing a document on a custom paper format.
As far as I understand the page layout, this minimal example should
suffice to typeset on my custom format paper. However, while the
resulting pagesize of the pdf is just as I specified, the text is not
adjusted to its smaller size. It looks like typesetting on A4 and then
cutting the pdf to my desired format. The compiler does not even
complain abou overfull hbox. What am I doing wrong in this minimal
example?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setlength\paperwidth{155mm}
\setlength\paperheight{240mm}
\setlength\pdfpagewidth{\paperwidth}
\setlength\pdfpageheight{\paperheight}
\begin{document}
The resulting text will not fit on the page. Yet, when compiling,
pdflatex or xelatex do not complain about overfull hbox.
\end{document}
best regards,
S.
