Page Layout ⇒ Page Size Formatting

[theiliad2000x]

Thank you in advance for your help!

I would like to know how I can generate a PDF file from latex that is not 8.5x11(seems to be set to this automatically), but is 5.25x8 (inches) in size. I mean, specifically this is the page size I'll be printing on, hence margins adjusting negatively away from the standard page size (which is what I have now below), are no good. In addition, I would need a .1 in margin on all four sides once the correct page size is set up. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me with this. Thank you!

Code: Select all

\documentclass[titlepage]{book}
\usepackage{setspace}
\doublespacing
\pagestyle{plain}
\usepackage[hmargin=1.625in,vmargin=1.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{ulem}
\setlength{\parindent}{.5cm}
\addvspace{1cm}
\begin{document}

Hi,

using the geometry package you can explicitly set paperwidth and paperheight; take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[paperwidth=5.25in,paperheight=8in,margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to automatically generate some text

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}

Please refer to the package documentation to see all the options it offers to customize the page layout.
