PS in Letter / PDF in A4 !!!
I'm running TexnicCenter and Adobe Reader (latest versions) and I just realized something very annoying is happening with my files. I want my output to be in letter page size. When I compile ANYTHING to .dvi or .ps, they come out correctly, but when I compile my final version to .ps => .pdf the document is in A4 paper size.
So annoying. I have a PDF printer driver, so I can get a letter paper size pdf file from the ps file that way, but I want to because the quality sucks... I dont understand why this is happening. Anything come to mind?
Thank you.

Re: PS in Letter / PDF in A4 !!!
In TexnicCenter, under Build > Define Output Profiles, I selected the dvi => PS => PDF profile and then in the Postprocessor Tab, I clicked on the Ghostscript (ps2pdf) entry below. There is an Arguments line below that says:
-sPAPERSIZE=a4
The obvious choice was to change it to:
-sPAPERSIZE=letter
which worked. And now I'm done with my dissertation. Thanks for all the help along the way guys!
