0004 document preparation system, version of November 2018.

0006 This manual was originally translated from LATEX.HLP v1.0a in the
0007 VMS Help Library.  The pre-translation version was written by
0008 George D. Greenwade of Sam Houston State University.  The
0009 LaTeX 2.09 version was written by Stephen Gilmore.  The
0010 LaTeX2e version was adapted from this by Torsten Martinsen.  Karl
0011 Berry made further updates and additions, and gratefully acknowledges
0012 using Hypertext Help with LaTeX, by Sheldon Green, and
0013 LaTeX Command Summary (for LaTeX 2.09) by
0014 L. Botway and C. Biemesderfer (published by the TeX Users
0015 Group as TeXniques number 10), as reference material.  We also
0016 gratefully acknowledge additional material appearing in
0017 latex2e-reference by Martin Herbert Dietze.  (From these references no
0018 text was directly copied.)

0187 <p>When using one of the engines pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, or XeLaTeX
0188 (see <a href="TeX-engines.html#TeX-engines">TeX engines</a>), options other than <code>letterpaper</code> set
0189 the print area but you must also set the physical paper size.  One way
0190 to do that is to put <code>\pdfpagewidth=\paperwidth</code> and
0191 <code>\pdfpageheight=\paperheight</code> in your document&rsquo;s preamble.
