#123 incorrectly sized page

[Regueiro]

Hi,

The page number is cutoff and whitespace appears at the
bottom of the page. I think the page size is incorrect
when I convert to ps and then pdf.

Attached is the pdf file.

Here is the top line

\documentclass[ps,contemporain,slideColor,colorBG,accumulate,nototal]{prosper}

I'm using latex, dvips, and ps2pdf.

Does anyone know why the page size is not correct, and
if so how to fix it?

Thanks,

Rich Regueiro

Hi,

I see the same behaviour at Ubuntu feisty.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
How to reproduce:

% file: try.tex
\documentclass[a4paper,pdf,default]{prosper}
\begin{document}
bla bla bla
\end{document}

$ latex try
$ dvips -ta4 try.dvi -o try.ps
$ ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 try.ps

$ gv try.ps % (A4 paper, OK)
$ xpdf try.pdf % (letter paper, WRONG)
$ pdfinfo try.pdf % (says A4!)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
How to fix

0. open try.ps in vi
1. search for CropBox
2. replace the line below...
SDict begin [ /CropBox [10 40 594 800] /PAGES pdfmark end
3. with the following line
SDict begin [ /CropBox [0 0 595 842] /PAGES pdfmark end
4. ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 try.ps
5. xpdf try.pdf % a4 paper, OK)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
How this came to pass

I guess some other package (used by prosper)
redefines pdf cropping box
which is set in prosper to A4,
despite we say a4paper in documentclass...

I'm getting this problem too, with these versions: prosper 1.6, dvipdf 8.61, dvips 5.96.1 and GPL Ghostscript 8.61.

The workaround of ssegvic does not work for me for some reason. Also, wouldn't it produce a4-output? That's nice for paper printing, but I'd prefer most presentations to be screen shaped.
