Make MS Word document look like it has been typeset in LaTeX Same applies to any tool out there, including *TeX. You cannot achieve great results without manual tweaking, sometimes a huge amount of it. I remember some production notes for "The LaTeX Companion": "[...] on maybe 10% of the pages [minor rewriting was needed] in order to avoid bad line breaks or page breaks [...] 45 long spreads, 25 short spreads, 230 forced page breaks, 400 adjustments to the vertical spacing, 100 other manual adjustments (other than rewriting)." Of course, even manual adjustments are easier done with LaTeX, but the point is that they're unavoidable in most cases. |

Exact centering of full-page background image @egreg, thank you for your insights which (as always), if not solving a problem at once, lead to a better way of doing things. For non-memoir classes, pointing out to geometry's own features showcrop and layoutsize was crucial and the problem at hand is solved easily, even if done manually. So, again, a big thank you to both of you :-) |

Exact centering of full-page background image I'll accept it because I find both those examples excellent and only because of that ;-) Thanks a lot for your time, much appreciated. You gave me some material to study further, which is a nice bonus :-) |

Exact centering of full-page background image Not to forget, in case you decide to change your example, please don't remove the current code, just comment \bgleft, \bgright and \AtBeginShipout parts and add new ones: This is a great example as it is and it would be shame to remove any part of it. |

Exact centering of full-page background image Thanks a lot. This is very close to what I want to achieve. The only thing is that \bgleft and \bgright must not be resized: those will be images with fixed width and height, i.e., exactly 154x216mm, and should be centered always, regardless of changes in setstocksize. |

Exact centering of full-page background image BTW, those 62mm are caused for some reason by memoir class (try book class instead). So, the problem is partially related to using crop (larger paper size than page size set by geometry), and partially to memoir. |

Exact centering of full-page background image Thanks :-) So, just to make it clear, the point here is that background images should fit exactly 154x216mm page. Centering vertically and horizontally against the page dimensions set by geometry package would be ideal, since these dimensions are constant and do not change (with a note that background should be allowed to exceed margins and page boundaries), unlike paper dimensions set by crop package. |

Exact centering of full-page background image The point is, I have to deliver pure A5 format for ebook, but for printed version, it was requested of us that background must be +3mm on all sides (plus an even larger version including crop marks). I admit it's a strange request, but I shouldn't question our printer ;-) Of course, there is another approach: just set final dimensions in geometry, omit crop package completely, and crop PDF after it's compiled, but that isn't really an ideal long-term solution, since I encounter situations like the above quite often. |
