Generated PDF has different document and page size.

[jwboer]

I want to transform a DOCBOOK xml file to a PDF which has a size of 6'' x 9''. When I do this, I do get a document that has a document size of 6'' by 9'', but which has a different page size, which happens to be size at which the document will be printed. So my PDF has the wrong size.

What can i do to make the page size 6'' by 9'''?

I have Oxygen 8.2.

I did this:
- change the builtin tranformation parameters for Docbook PDF to the following:


- do the transformation. Now i get this in Adobe PDF reader (and also in Foxit):


The "document" has the appropriate format (in mm), but the "paper" does not. I don't get the difference.

Can anyone shed some light on this? What can i do to make my paper-size the right size?

Hello,

You have the DocBook parameter paper.type set to US Letter which has other sizes. You need the C4 paper type which is 9in x 6in. That means you have to set the paper.type parameter to value C4.
