# Book: Set Page Size

Im fairly new in this forum, so please tell me if you need some more information or anything is unclear.

I'm planning on writing a book with LaTex and have found the Wiley Template here (http://www.latextemplates.com/template/wiley-book-style)

Is there any opportunity to set the layout to DIN A4 ? I seems that the book is printed on letter format and then is cut. For me it would be easier if the .pdf is the size of the final book. So when I want my book to be 20x30cm the .pdf has the same size. Where can i set this?

I only found

\textheight=45pc
\textwidth=28pc


in the wileysev.cls file.

• Wiley decides about the layout and paper size. If you want to publish at their house, don't make changes. If you don't want to, why do you use that template? – Johannes_B Jul 3 '16 at 21:46
• @Johannes_B: Wiley publishes on Europe two,perhaps there's another template for A4 as well? – user31729 Jul 3 '16 at 22:00

Using the linked template (and cutting some stuff for convenience)

\usepackage[a4paper,showframe]{geometry} will work.

Perhaps the margins has to be set with lmargin=... etc (see the geometry package on this,please)

Remove the showframe option for production run.
