I guess this is some swedish standard ?  Accordingly to page:
http://publications.uu.se/helpdesk/faq/
it is 164x242mm. You could try to use a regular report class and use custom 
page size. If this s5report has something special you have to make a layout, 
look in chapter 6 in the (Help--)Customization document.

There is sometimes a difference between what is measures of the
sheet to be printed and printing layout (because in commercial
printing there is some space resereved for cutting, binding,
trimming paper etc.), so the official size of A4 is either
215x305 mm (untrimmed) or 210x297 (trimmed; which is the size of

I'm leaning towards that the trimmed S5 size is about 168x236mm, since 
I actually measured the size as 168x238, and the extra 2mm in page 
width might well be because of the binding. (It was also difficult in 
general to measure the width of a page without ripping it out of the

According to the degree project coordinator S5 is supposed to be
81% of A4.

210x297 - 81% - 170.1x240.57

where they say that a thesis is normally printed on the page format

G5, 240mm x 170mm

They are also talking about a latex class for the report, in case you're

At least I just learned something useful: How to put crop marks on the

where I put the text.

And I've also found that both G5 and S5 seems to be standard formats...

they write that G5, 169x239 mm, for educational stuff,

Hopefully... just for fun I read some more at that site. This page was 
kind of interesting:

http://www.books-on-demand.com/Kalkyl.asp

you can enter how many pages of b/w and pages of color, and then get a 
price. I wonder how much our university charges. Here's an example:

150 pages b/w   = about 150 Eur + 8.5 Eur/book + freight
200 pages b/w   = about 180 Eur + 10.7 Eur/book + freight

It is also fun that they offer to stock it for you and sell it to 
people, i.e. the buyer order it from them and pay them etc.
Then the author (i.e. you) get payed quarterly :-)
In this case they add about 1 Eur/book to cover their costs.

I'm leaning towards that the trimmed S5 size is about 168x236mm, since 
I actually measured the size as 168x238, and the extra 2mm in page 
width might well be because of the binding. (It was also difficult in

Hopefully... just for fun I read some more at that site. This page was 
kind of interesting:

http://www.books-on-demand.com/Kalkyl.asp

you can enter how many pages of b/w and pages of color, and then get a 
price. I wonder how much our university charges. Here's an example:

150 pages b/w   = about 150 Eur + 8.5 Eur/book + freight
200 pages b/w   = about 180 Eur + 10.7 Eur/book + freight

It is also fun that they offer to stock it for you and sell it to 
people, i.e. the buyer order it from them and pay them etc.
Then the author (i.e. you) get payed quarterly :-)
In this case they add about 1 Eur/book to cover their costs.

I guess this is some swedish standard ?  Accordingly to page:
http://publications.uu.se/helpdesk/faq/
it is 164x242mm. You could try to use a regular report class and use custom 
page size. If this s5report has something special you have to make a layout, 
look in chapter 6 in the (Help-->)Customization document.

Yeah, most likely it is some standard printing size for
booklets/reports that printers (those who make books, etc) in
Sweden use.

So if I set the page size margins and stuff will be adjusted so it
looks TeX nice?

I'm writing my thesis, and I've set the size after measuring the size 
of our thesis. I came up with 138x238 mm, but just now I tried searching 
for S5-format and found several sizes:  170x240, 165x238, 170x238

Does anybody know what the actual size really is? (I have a hard time 
believing the S5-format varies...).

Anyway, I use the Koma book-class and you can get a full set of exxample 
files at this URL:

There is sometimes a difference between what is measures of the
sheet to be printed and printing layout (because in commercial
printing there is some space resereved for cutting, binding,
trimming paper etc.), so the official size of A4 is either
215x305 mm (untrimmed) or 210x297 (trimmed; which is the size of
the sheet of paper you usually buy in a store). For more info see

I can then include the preamble-file in other documents and get all the 
correct settings in one go... this is useful when I only want to print a

I'm leaning towards that the trimmed S5 size is about 168x236mm, since 
I actually measured the size as 168x238, and the extra 2mm in page 
width might well be because of the binding. (It was also difficult in 
general to measure the width of a page without ripping it out of the 
thesis).

According to the degree project coordinator S5 is supposed to be

210x297 -> 81% -> 170.1x240.57

where they say that a thesis is normally printed on the page format

G5, 240mm x 170mm

(I don't think it's a typo... they use G5 in two places)

They are also talking about a latex class for the report, in case you're 
interested.

This is a jungle and nobody seems to know anything about it. Not
even the people responsible. Sigh.

I am going to talk to the university printers tomorrow and see if
they can shed some light on this.

Don't forget to bring a ruler and actually measure the paper...

At least I just learned something useful: How to put crop marks on the 
printout, so that you can cut the page and make it smaller, see

http://ev-en.org/wiki/moin.cgi/LyxFAQ#line186

where I put the text.

And I've also found that both G5 and S5 seems to be standard formats...

http://www.books-on-demand.com/handbok/bokens_format.htm

they write that G5, 169x239 mm, for educational stuff,
and "Statsformat", 165x242 mm, for thesis, reports and public 
investigations.

I guess that settles it.

Statsformat is for non-Swedish readers, "government format".

That's the proper place for an authoritative answer.

Belike the inconsistencies observed are caused by differences in stock
material/size, folding, binding and imposition.

Hopefully... just for fun I read some more at that site. This page was 
kind of interesting:

http://www.books-on-demand.com/Kalkyl.asp

you can enter how many pages of b/w and pages of color, and then get a 
price. I wonder how much our university charges. Here's an example:

150 pages b/w   => about 150 Eur + 8.5 Eur/book + freight
200 pages b/w   => about 180 Eur + 10.7 Eur/book + freight

It is also fun that they offer to "stock" it for you and sell it to 
people, i.e. the buyer order it from them and pay them etc.
Then the author (i.e. you) get payed quarterly :-)
In this case they add about 1 Eur/book to cover their costs.
