I want to embed a 'poster' in my document. The poster is a large map that can't be represented on A4 paper size. When bound, the poster will fold out. They do this sometimes in magazines.
I could do the two documents separately and simply include the poster afterward. However, I'd like to create some references to the nodes on the poster. Is there any way to construct my poster inline (change the size of that one page)?

Change Page Size Of A Single Page
Hi,
the geometry package (from version 5 on) provides \newgeometry{} and \restoregeometry to allow changes in page dimensions in the middle of a document.

Looking at the documentation this looks pretty straightforward. I constructed a simple test but the paper size did not change. I set the driver to pdftex as I am using pdflatex. I even tried a driver setting of auto with no luck. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Code: Select all
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[driver=pdftex]{geometry}
\begin{document}
This is a standard page.
\newpage
\newgeometry{paperwidth=17in,paperheight=11in}
This is a big landscape page.
\restoregeometry
\newpage
Back to a standard page
\end{document}

Yes, geometry won't be of use here since you cannot change the page dimensions in the middle of the document. You can, however, make a second document with the poster in it and then use the pdfpages package to include it in your main document (using this package you can have hyperlinks to the inserted page).
