I want a customized paper size, a customized text size and layout. Thus conforming to Springer's style requirements for scientific monographs which are different to conventional sizes like DIN A4.
- Text size: 117mm width and 191mm height
- Paper Size: 155mm width and 235mm height
Unfortunately, using Springer's SVMult template and pdflatex, the resulting pdf has the wrong size, namely A4. I guess this problem also exists for other styles with different text and paper layouts. The textsize is set in SVMult.
How to customize papersize and layout using a custom documentclass (SVMult) while using pdflatex?
- Is it possible to adapt the
svmult.cls
so that the correct paper size is generated? - Can the package
geometry
be used while keeping SVMult settings?
I tried the following:
Influenced by this question on forcing pdf size.
Using Custom Class
\documentclass[graybox]{svmult}
No Effect at all:
\pdfpagewidth = 155mm
\pdfpageheight = 235mm
Correct Paper size, wrong formatting, at least wrong left and right page margins:
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{papersize={155mm,235mm}}
Using pass
to keep SVMult settings thwarts papersize changes:
\usepackage[pass]{geometry}
\geometry{papersize={155mm,235mm}}
The problem prevails, using no other packages at all or using packages, among others hyperref.
