Q: How do I create a PDF page with a different page size?
Page pg = pdfdoc.PageCreate();
pdfdoc.PagePushBack(pg);
creates a 'letter' page, but I would like to create ISO A4 page.

A: You can pass the page size as the optional parameter to
PageCreate(media_box) method.
For example:
in C#/Java/VB
Page pg = pdfdoc.PageCreate(new Rect(0, 0, 595, 842));
pdfdoc.PagePushBack(pg);
...
in C/C++
Page pg = pdfdoc.PageCreate(Rect(0, 0, 595, 842));
Please note that page dimensions are expressed in PDF 'points' (1 pt =
1/72 inch).
The following is a listing of some standard U.S. page sizes:
Letter = Rect(0, 0, 612, 792)
Legal = Rect(0, 0, 612, 1008)
Ledger = Rect(0, 0, 1224, 792)
Tabloid = Rect(0, 0, 792, 1224)
Executive = Rect(0, 0, 522, 756)
