LyX ⇒ Memoir doesn't print in A4 when making PDF

[Fed89]

Hello everyone,
i am using lyx to write my thesis.
I use LyX Version 2.2.2 and AdobeAcrobat. Document class is memoir and page format is A4.
However, when i compile it the pdf is always a US letter, regardless that i put A4 or US letter in teh Page Format.
Only the margins seem to be different in the two cases...
Has anyone experienced this problem? how can i fix it?

If of any use, below is the preamble of the source code.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
LyX automatically use the package geometry

\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}

) I think you put a \usepackage{geometry} in your Preamble that reset the LyX setting and put the page back to the default style (the default style for memoir is letterpaper).
If you need to change the geometry of a page just use /geometry, see geometry

Thanks roby!
unfortunately also commenting the \usepackage{geometry} line, it still gives the same output...
In the text i had for the cover page \newgeometry{...} and then \restoregeometry, but also commenting those does not make any difference...

I tried the memoir and I have the same problem, put this in the Preamble:

\setstocksize{297mm}{210mm}

it worked for me.
