B5 format in A4 sheet

Post by jinny »

Hi, guys.
I'm a beginner in the Latex world.
I'd like to use B5 size format and want it to be printed in A4 paper.
The problem is that the context aligns left top direction but I want it to locate center of the paper.
I've searched various topics but it was like finding a needle in haystack.

The crop package supports exactly what you want. Consider the following code example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,b5paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[dvips=false,pdftex=false,vtex=false]{geometry}
\usepackage[cam,a4,center]{crop}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\geometry{%
  includeheadfoot,
  margin=2cm
}

\begin{document}
  \Blinddocument
\end{document}
The actual page dimensions are set with the geometry package.


Best regards and welcome to the board
