So at some point the use of percentages has to stop and a real page size must be used? That's a shame. This means for our app the user will have to set the page size in the app (to pass into the transform) and then set the page size again in the print setup (say of Acrobat) to get A3 printout. Unless Acrobat can tell from the generated pdf what the page size will be? Im just trying to avoid the case where the user will have set the same information twice - once for the transformation and once for the print. thanks andrew XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
