Print PDF file with big paper size or large paper using PDFPrint Command Line software

Hello,

We are using you product PDFPrint Command line for many years now.
It is a great product for where we use it for up till now.

We are challenged to be using big size printers from our application. This means we should be able to support printers that use A0, A1 and A2 size sheets.
In the list of paper sizes to choose from, I can only find the A2 size.
I have tried to use the A1 fraise in the Paper statement, but did not succeed.

Can you help me out with the right use of the paper command to be sure the size A0, A1 or A2 is used and in case of the US sizes the E, D or C size?
Or is this not going to work at all?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Best regards,
Customer

Paper sizes

This list of the common American and European paper sizes includes the ISO standards, which are used globally. All dimensions are specified in inches, millimeters as well as PostScript points (1/72 inch, always rounded off). The overview covers:

• ISO page sizes – The ISO A series is the most frequently used page measurement standard. It includes the DIN A4 format. The ISO B sizes are used for poster printing while ISO C is meant for envelopes. The SRA standard defines press sheet sizes and is used in the printing industry.
• American paper size dimensions – such as ‘Letter’, ‘Legal’ and the ANSI series.
• English sheet sizes – with a focus on formats for writing paper and book printing.
• Newspaper sizes

ISO A paper sizes

The A-series consists of a logical set of paper sizes that are defined by the ISO 216 standard. The largest size (A0) measures one square meter. The height/width ratio remains constant (1:1.41) for all sizes. This means you get the A1 size by folding an A0 paper in two along its shortest side. Then fold the A1 size in two to get an A2 size paper, and so on… A-sizes are used to define the finished paper size in commercial printing: A4 is for office documents, A5 is for notepads and A6 is for postcards.

This drawing illustrates the principle behind the ISO A series:

ISO B paper sizes

The same logic from the A-sizes also applies for the B-series, except here the starting point was the dimension of one of the sides, which starts at 1 meter. B-sizes are often used for posters.

ISO C paper sizes

C-sizes are used for envelopes to match the A-series paper. I have omitted unrealistic sizes like C0 (imagine an envelope measuring 917 by 1297 millimeters).

ISO D paper sizes

I have no idea what D-sizes are used for but the standard is there so it should be mentioned.

ISO RA & SRA paper sizes

These oversized papersizes are used by printers. The dimensions in millimetres are rounded to the nearest value.

American paper sizes

The US and Canada do not use the international standards but instead rely on the paper sizes below. The ANSI standard was added in 1995 to create a set of sizes that are based on shared dimensions. It lacks however the consistent aspect ratio of the ISO A-series.

English paper sizes (writing papers)

The English nowadays use the A-sizes for office and general use. I have no idea whether many of these definitions are still in use today. Imperial and half-imperial still seem to be widely used by artists.

UK metric book printing sizes

For books A-sizes often aren’t used because A4 is too large and A5 too small. Metric Royal Octavo and Metric Crown Quarto are 2 frequently used sizes that are more comfortable to hold and read.

Newspaper sizes

The dimensions of newspaper pages are not that strictly defined, so the average or most frequently used size is mentioned.
