With the letterpaper option \paperwidth and \paperheight will be set correctly. For use with pdflatex you could modify the appropriate sizes:
\setlength{\pdfpagewidth}{\paperwidth} \setlength{\pdfpageheight}{\paperheight} It will fix this minimal example. The problem will vanish if you use additional packages designed for pdflatex. \usepackage{graphicx} will fix it too, also color, xcolor, hyperref. -- pdflatex produces A4 page despite the fact that letterpaper is specified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
