[comp.lang.postscript] Postscript in wrong place on A4 sheet.

dylan@ibmpcug.co.uk (Matthew Farwell) (06/10/90)

Recently, I made up the world maps and they don't seem to be right for
A4 paper.  They are chopped off on the right hand + bottom sides.  This
is also true for the pcal program, which is chopped off at the bottom.
Now I know that some American use different size paper from the UK, and
it is probably the case that this is the reason for this.  Can anyone
tell me how to fix this, ie to move the maps/calendars up and left?  I
don't want to go through the trouble of working through all of the books
to just solve this one little thing.  Its only a matter of a few pixels,
but it is annoying.

Thanks.

Dylan.

On one of our LaserWriters (an Apple II NTX) we suddenly have a similar
problem. PostScript text was printed higher on the A4 paper than it used
to be. When we changed the margins in the statusdict, the papersize wasn't
correct anymore. The bottommargin could not be changed.

I would like to know if anybody else had this problem before. In none of the
PostScript manuals I could find a solution for this problem.
