Subject: Printing paper size S4
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 12:31:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.SGI.4.04.9904271219110.71899-100000@sono> (raw)

Hi all,

Now that my Context installation is no longer complaining about stack size
(thanks for the help, btw - it turned out I had a dodgy \def in one of my
includes), I have a question about printing.  My document is size S4, ie

\setuppapersize[S4][S4]

I am typesetting as PDF (with pdftex), view with Acroread 3.02 and get a
nice 400x300pt on the screen.  However, when I print, the document appears
too far down and to the left.  If I try printing bigger than 100%, it
moves even further to the right so that part of the document is off the
page.  Selecting to print as landscape doesn't seem to improve things.  My
guess is that the BoundingBox isn't where it is supposed to be.  I'm not
much of a PDF guru, but I'd say the BoundingBox (0 0 399 299) is correct
given the MediaBox in the PDF file ([0 0 398.5 298.88]).

Is this a known problem?  Is there a better way to print a document of
this size?  Ideally, I want to print it scaled so that it takes up as much
of a landscape A4 page as possible.

Oh, Ghostscript spits the dummy completely so I'm more or less forced to
use Acroread.  I get the same results on Solaris and IRIX.

- Matthew
