SetPaperSize and PDF

ROOT
1

Hi everyone,

I am troubling SetPaperSize and PDF format.
I want to get a high resolution PDF, but I could not get it.
PDF range is not match (eps is OK), see attached file.
Are there something wrongs in following code?

{
   gStyle->SetPaperSize(40, 52);
   //
   TCanvas *canvas = new TCanvas("canvas", "canvas", 400, 300);
   TPaveText *pave = new TPaveText(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
   TText *txt = pave->AddText("Hello");
   txt->SetNDC();
   pave->Draw();
   canvas->SaveAs("hello.eps");
   canvas->SaveAs("hello.pdf");
}

I see that GetPaperSize in used in TPDF in ROOT 5.29. I will try your macro with this ROOT version.
I’ll let you know.

Can you try with a more recent version (5.29) ?
I get something different than you.

Hi, Couet,
