If by messing it’s meant modifying their values, I agree that’s a bad idea 😊, the requirement is likely to read the value only (at least this is my usage of these in shipouts « after » callback).

If these are not reliable, what’s the reliable way to get the page width and height ?

Thanks

Regards

Joseph
