I need the paper size to be 8.75x10.75 and I/m using xdvipdfmx. None of these seem to work: \special{papersize=8.24999in,10.74999in}% This was for dvips which gets fussy \paperwidth8.25in \paperheight10.75in \pdfpagewidth=8.25in \pdfpageheight=10.75in Is there yet another alternative? Puzzled. Happy New Year! SGM
