Custom page format

Post by TeXtExTeX »

Hello everybody!

I want to build a simple one page document with specific format,
e.g. 9 x 12 cm without margins. How can I do this? I haven't found a working way in the internet while searching an hour.

Thank you for your support. :-)

Greetings,

Hi,

did you find the geometry package? Have a look at its documentation.

Danke Stefan!

By using this package I could solve my problem with the following line:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[paperwidth=9cm,paperheight=12cm,top=0cm,left=-0.5cm,right=0cm,bottom=0cm]{geometry}

Does the geometry package work with 'latex'? For me it only works for 'pdflatex'. I cant get the page to resize on the dvi output.
Thanks,

Hi mungerilal,

the geometry packages is working with latex too. Could you post a minimal working example showing the problem with the page dimensions?
