<t>
   Certain text formats, for example Postscript (MIME-Type:

   application/postscript; file extension .ps) and Portable Document

   Format (MIME-Type: application/pdf; file extension .pdf) specify

   exactly the page layout of the printed document. The commonly used

   paper format is different in North America and the rest of the world.

   North America uses the 'Letter' format, while the rest of the world

   mostly uses the ISO-standard 'A4' format. This means that documents

   formatted on one continent may not be easily printable on another

   continent. This memo gives advice on how to produce documents which

   are equally well printable with the Letter and the A4 formats. By

   using the advice in this document, you can put up a document on the

   Internet, which recipients can print without problem both in and

   outside North America.

<t>

   A very short summary of the advice in this document: If you are using

   U.S. Letter paper format, ensure that both the left and right margins

   are at least 21 mm (0.8 in). If you are using A4 paper format, ensure

   that both the top and bottom margins are at least 33 mm (1.3 in).
