MediaBox is the page size in points (Points are roughly 1/72 of an inch). All measurements are in points. %PDF-1.4 1 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 3 0 R /Outlines 2 0 R >> endobj 2 0 obj << /Type /Outlines /Count 0 >> endobj 3 0 obj << /Type /Pages /Count 1 /Kids [ 4 0 R ] >> endobj 4 0 obj << /Type /Page /Parent 3 0 R /Resources << /Font << /F1 7 0 R >> /ProcSet 6 0 R >> /MediaBox [0 0 366 160] /Contents 5 0 R >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Length 80 >> stream 1 w 0 160 m 0 0 l 366 0 l 366 160 l 0 160 l s BT /F1 7.5 Tf 20 122 Td (Hello World) Tj ET endstream endobj 6 0 obj [ /PDF /Text ] endobj 7 0 obj << /Type /Font /Subtype /TrueType /Name /F1 /BaseFont /CourierNew,Bold /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding >> endobj xref 0 8 0000000000 65535 f 0000000009 00000 n 0000000074 00000 n 0000000120 00000 n 0000000179 00000 n 0000000322 00000 n 0000000415 00000 n 0000000445 00000 n trailer << /Size 8 /Root 1 0 R >> startxref 553 %%EOF Roger Eller Graphics Systems Analyst 803 North Maple Street P: 864.967.1625 Simpsonville, SC 29681 C: 864.908.0337 SealedAir.com <http://www.sealedair.com/> [email protected] <[email protected]> On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 1:27 PM, Skip Kimpel <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for the input.
