Page Layout ⇒ page size error

[svrouwenvelder]

Hi there,

If I create a PDf file out of my Latex code where I imported another PDF file I get two problems:
- the margins get disturbed, normally an A4 format should have a width of 210 mm, now it has more (according to a PDF reader in both Windows and Ubuntu Linux.
- The actual image get compressed, it is made thinner though it does not differ in height. This makes my hard work in CATIA, Word and GIMP look bad.

I am quite new to Latex, in this tex file I used in the preamble

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

\documentclass[a4, 11pt, twoside, openright]{report}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{graphicx}

The actual PDF file is made using Word (A4 format) and exporting it as an PDF file, creating a PDF file with a width of 210mm.

What am I doing wrong? Or is Latex messing things up?
Thx,
Simon

The correct option for the paper size is a4paper. You should get a warning in the log file about an unused global option. Otherwise the paper size is set to letterpaper.
