This can be done with \definepapersze and \setuppapersize. However this technique shows cropmarks and Lighting Source specifies "no crop marks." Question 1: How do I eliminate cropmarks yet still have the smaller page centered on the larger page? Second, my customer pointed out to me that on my finished pdf the cropmarks do not exactly delineate the specific size (in this case 5.5 x 8.5 inches.) On my laser printer they define a space about 1/32 inch shorter than the nominal dimension in both vertical and horizontal directions. This is about 2 or 3 points. Question 2. Why are the cropmarks apparently imprecise? All hints appreciated, as always. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters http://wexfordpress.com ____________________________________________________________ Free 20MB Web Site Hosting and Personalized E-mail Service!
