Summary0005377: Missing Globally Compatible Paper Size (PA4-based paper sizes)
DescriptionIt would be nice to have a paper size defined which is the lowest common denominator between A4 and Letter to produce a papersize which can be printed everywhere in the world without having the resize.

Effectively that means: 210mm x 279mm

I blogged about it here:

Btw there already seems to be a standard for this, called PA4, and it's 210 x 280mm

Is this a standard that is supported by any device?

'device'?

Any random printer on the market?

Anyway device which supports A4 can automatically handle PA4.

btw, it's use is most noticable for online published magazine (which are published as PDF).

If folks want to print a PA4 magazine, they can print it on A4 or Letter sized paper without having the scale the content. Keeping everything as intended.
