Somewhat opposite to other problems I found, my document size is correct when compiling with pdflatex
but is not right when compiling with latex
.
I'm using a custom documentclass
for a conference but I don't think that is the problem. The document template provided is defining the paper size precisely with the {geometry}
package.
This is my preamble:
\documentclass[runningheads]{llncs}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb} % define this before the line numbering.
\usepackage{ruler}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage[width=122mm,left=12mm,paperwidth=146mm,height=193mm,top=12mm,paperheight=217mm]
{geometry}
When I compile it with pdflatex
, I get the correct document (much smaller than A4). However, I would like to compile it with latex
(and then do dvi->ps, ps->pdf conversion) in order to be albe to use .eps
images.
But, when compiling with latex
I get a smaller page embedded in an A4 with big lower and right margins. Could anybody please suggest a solution?

Too long for a comment.
With the files you have provided I get:
The only difference I see is the rounding of two decimal digits instead of three that pdflatex has used.
As expected the pages are neither in A4 or letter size, because you have specified:
\usepackage[width=122mm,left=12mm,paperwidth=146mm,height=193mm,top=12mm,paperheight=217mm] {geometry}
The result, checked with
pdfinfo
is indeed 146mm × 217mm. Thus packagegeometry
has done its job.BTW, is
eccv2014kit
an ancient file, its producer entry:I found a release date for 6.60: 2000-12-31
The current version is 9.10!
Is the TeX distribution has the same age, then update, then it should work, if the correct option settings are given to
geometry
, and the question can be closed as "off topic because of old software".
