Re: Papersize switching

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem is that dvips has its own opinion on what paper size to
use. You can set the default paper size in dvips by running the
command 'texconfig' as root. Otherwise, add the flag
dvips -t a4 ...

Normally, ps2pdf should copy the page size from the input file,
otherwise you may have to add the flag
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 ...
as well.
