I'm using the MikTex 2.9 distribution on Windows 7 and the Texmaker editor. I'm using the sequence Latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf to produce my pdf file but it always come out with the A4 paper size and nothing I have tried changes it to a letter size document.
I have unsuccessfully tried:
\documentclass[letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[paperheight=11in, paperwidth=8.5in]{geometry}
and
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
\pdfpaperheight=11in
\pdfpaperwidth=8.5in
\else
\special{papersize=11in,8.5in}
\fi
I have also tried the MikTex settings but change the paper size default to letter accomplished nothing.
When I use the PdfLatex everything works fine but because I had some problems between PdfLatex and some packages I have to use I got to get the right paper size with the Latex->dvips->ps2pdf sequence. Any ideas what could be done? Because the PdfLatex works I believe the problem is with the dvips bit but I don't know if this is correct and if it is I don't know how to configure it.
Thank you very much.
