How do I increase the dimensions of pages in PDFs that I have created using the program Prince?

Prince uses a CSS file to set the properties of the PDFs it generates. I have tried adding the commands body {height: 1536; width: 1024} to the CSS file for which I received the prince error:

Without this line the text doesn't fit to the PDF.

Solution

  • Use @page { size: A4 } to set the paper size. If you need bigger paper, try A3, or A4 landscape. Making the paper very big will make it difficult to print out, though.
