Re: Forcing PDF to be one page?

[Mark Dewey]

It sounds like you've tried at least something like 
this, but this is what works for me, and it does work 
for me (I normally don't need to set all of these, though):

\paper
{
        indent = 0.0
        between-system-space = 0.1 \mm
        between-system-padding = #1
        paper-height = 32 \cm
        top-margin = 0.1 \mm
        bottom-margin = 0.1 \mm
        foot-separation = 0.1 \mm
        head-separation = 0.1 \mm
        after-title-space = 0.1 \mm
        before-title-space = 0.1 \mm
        between-title-space = 0.1 \mm
}

Anyway, I particularly wanted to mention the 
paper-height part, for even though the printer is 
designed for certain kinds of paper, increasing the 
paper-height doesn't usually mess up the printing if 
you only do it a cm or two.
