I needed this to specify A0 size, in inches, which was hard to find exact dimensions with more than 1 decimal digit, but luckily- unlike ISO 216 – Wikipedia:
[WayBack] The A4 paper size | dimensions, usage & alternatives: DIN A4 measures 210 × 297 millimeters or 8.27 × 11.69 inches. In PostScript, its dimensions are rounded off to 595 × 842 points. Folded twice, an A4 sheet fits in a C6 size envelope (114 × 162 mm).
[WayBack] The A6 paper size | dimensions, usage & alternatives: DIN A6 measures 105 × 148 millimeters or 4.13 × 5.83 inches. In PostScript, its dimensions are rounded off to 298 × 420 points. The matching envelope format is C6 (114 × 162 mm).
If you want to create a document that has a unique size, such as an envelope or card, first see if the paper size appears in the Paper Size pop-up menu. If not, you can create your own custom paper size. Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers or for all apps.
Note: The following options might not be available for your printer or app. If these instructions differ from what you see onscreen, refer to the documentation that came with the app you’re using.
Choose File > Print. If you see a Show Details button, click it to show all available options.
Click the Paper Size pop-up menu, then choose Manage Custom Sizes.
Click the Add button to add a new paper size, then specify the paper size you want.
To create a new paper size based on an existing size, select a paper size in the list, then click Duplicate.
To print to a custom paper size, choose it from the Paper Size pop-up menu in the Print dialog (choose File > Print). To set a document size to a custom paper size, choose it from the Paper Size pop-up menu in the Page Setup dialog (choose File > Page Setup).
Tip: If a document is printing with incorrect margins or clipped text, try this: click the Non-Printable Area pop-up menu, choose User Defined, then enter zero for the nonprintable margins. In some cases this allows the document margins to print as expected.
