I have a document that I've set with \documentclass[legalpaper]
, expecting it to produce a PDF that's the standard 8.5" x 14" size. When I go to print the PDF, I've found that it's actually about an inch larger than 14". I have to shrink the document to fit on the page in order to get it to print on an actual, standard, American 8.5" x 14" piece of legal paper. I've tried using legal
instead of legalpaper
, but it seems that legal
produces a document that's significantly smaller than actual legal paper. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
\documentclass[10pt,legalpaper]{article}
\usepackage[margin={50px,25px}]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}
geometry
(paper=legalpaper
), the documentclass sets the paper size. Can you tell us that, most preferrably in form of a minimal working example?letterpaper
is the default for article, i guess people would have noticed if something is wrong there.
