I have an interesting situation. I had to correct a few pages from my book before sending just those pages back to the printer for printing. I used the pdfpages (to include only a few pages from my pdf) option to select just a few pages from the pdf file of my book. The printer wants me to send each corrected page as its own separate pdf document.
The printer said that the corrected pages are a quarter inch smaller than they are supposed to be. I have no idea why, because I am looking at my latex preamble (the one from which I generated the pdf file of my book) and it has the following code:
- Code: Select all • Open in writeLaTeX
\usepackage[
noinfo,
cam,
width=6.25in, % the width of the galley
height=9.25in, % the height of the galley
center % actual page is centered on the galley
]{crop}
The pages should all export at the above dimensions because the book is going to be 6x9. After entering the above code the page dimensions will obviously be 6.25x9.25 with quarter-inch crop marks.
So, why does the printer tell me that the corrected pages I sent them (the ones that I extracted from the pdf file of the book) are only 6"x9". I extracted them from a pdf document that was set at 6.25x9.25, so why aren't they the same dimensions?
Also, simpler question: how do I view the page dimensions of a pdf document once I have created it? I need to be able to confirm that I've done things properly so I don't have to keep wasting my time.
