This is correctly reporting A4 with an 8px non-printable area around the
edge:
8.27 × 11.69 inches 8.27 72 595.44
210 × 297 mm 11.69 72 841.68
8,8,834,587 834 8 842
l,t,r,b
587 8 595
A4 is 210 x 297mm which is 8.27 x 11.69 inches at 72px per inch is ~842
x 595 (rounding off)
Take the Right coordinate of 834 ad add 8 and you get 842 and the Bottom
of 587 and add 8 and you get 595
