Description Andrea Pasquinucci 2005-09-09 06:51:45 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
running pdftex on a tex file creates a document with paper size 250x350mm (pdfeTeX-1.21a), with FC3 (pdfTeX-1.10b) the paper size was 210x297mm (A4) as is correct for me (EU). 

To solve the problem I had to add by hand in my tex file the following lines

\pdfpagewidth=210 true mm
\pdfpageheight=297 true mm
\pdfpkresolution=600

most probably related to configuration files not set/read properly.

pdflatex works fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tetex-3.0-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.run pdftex on a tex file
2.
3.
  

Actual Results:  wrong paper size

Expected Results:  right paper size (better if locale dependent)

The default paper should be A4 though. You can redefine your default paper via
texconfig.
