International standard paper sizes in PostScript and PDF -------------------------------------------------------- The following table shows ISO 216 paper format dimensions in PostScript points (1 pt = 25.4/72 mm), rounded to the nearest integer value: 4A0 = 1682 mm x 2378 mm = 4768 pt x 6741 pt 2A0 = 1189 mm x 1682 mm = 3370 pt x 4768 pt A0 = 841 mm x 1189 mm = 2384 pt x 3370 pt A1 = 594 mm x 841 mm = 1684 pt x 2384 pt A2 = 420 mm x 594 mm = 1191 pt x 1684 pt A3 = 297 mm x 420 mm = 842 pt x 1191 pt A4 = 210 mm x 297 mm = 595 pt x 842 pt A5 = 148 mm x 210 mm = 420 pt x 595 pt A6 = 105 mm x 148 mm = 298 pt x 420 pt A7 = 74 mm x 105 mm = 210 pt x 298 pt A8 = 52 mm x 74 mm = 147 pt x 210 pt A9 = 37 mm x 52 mm = 105 pt x 147 pt A10 = 26 mm x 37 mm = 74 pt x 105 pt B0 = 1000 mm x 1414 mm = 2835 pt x 4008 pt B1 = 707 mm x 1000 mm = 2004 pt x 2835 pt B2 = 500 mm x 707 mm = 1417 pt x 2004 pt B3 = 353 mm x 500 mm = 1001 pt x 1417 pt B4 = 250 mm x 353 mm = 709 pt x 1001 pt B5 = 176 mm x 250 mm = 499 pt x 709 pt B6 = 125 mm x 176 mm = 354 pt x 499 pt B7 = 88 mm x 125 mm = 249 pt x 354 pt B8 = 62 mm x 88 mm = 176 pt x 249 pt B9 = 44 mm x 62 mm = 125 pt x 176 pt B10 = 31 mm x 44 mm = 88 pt x 125 pt C0 = 917 mm x 1297 mm = 2599 pt x 3677 pt C1 = 648 mm x 917 mm = 1837 pt x 2599 pt C2 = 458 mm x 648 mm = 1298 pt x 1837 pt C3 = 324 mm x 458 mm = 918 pt x 1298 pt C4 = 229 mm x 324 mm = 649 pt x 918 pt C5 = 162 mm x 229 mm = 459 pt x 649 pt C6 = 114 mm x 162 mm = 323 pt x 459 pt C7 = 81 mm x 114 mm = 230 pt x 323 pt C8 = 57 mm x 81 mm = 162 pt x 230 pt C9 = 40 mm x 57 mm = 113 pt x 162 pt C10 = 28 mm x 40 mm = 79 pt x 113 pt Adobe has also published a table of paper sizes in PostScript points in PostScript Printer Description (PPD) File Format Specification, Version 4.3, Adobe Technical Note 5003, 1996-02-09, Appendix B, pp. 183-198. http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/ps/5003.PPD_Spec_v4.3.pdf The Adobe point dimensions are identical to the above ones for A0-A5, B0-B10, and most C sizes, but they strangely are one point larger in one dimension for A6-A10 and also differ slightly for C0 and C3. I cannot figure out, what exact rounding algorithm Adobe used here or whether their table just suffers from some typos.
