Someone else asked about this previously but there are obviously bigger fish to fry since it hasn't been resolved. Anyway, I looked into the orgcard.tex file and noticed that it references a 'letterpaper' which never seemed to get set. Looks like this should have been set in the pdflayout.sty file. So I added a line containing \letterpaper=1 after line 33 in the pdflayout.sty file (modified copy attached). Maybe there should be more to this but this allowed me to use my TeX package to generate a working US Letter paper sized version of orgcard.pdf by setting \pdflayout=(1l) in the orgcard.tex file. I thought I'd share and ask whoever maintains pdflayout.sty to consider updating it so the orgcard_letter.pdf file may in future be as originally intended. Orgmode is quite useful and I really appreciate everyone who contributes. I may subscribe to the list in the future when I have enough time to participate. Thanks for your attention. ~David --------------040304050801070301010103 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I'm not sure where to submit this but for a long time the orgcard_letter.pdf file that has been distributed with orgmode (in doc folder) has not been right.
