Within PMX it's pretty easy. Right after the setup data, just set the width
and height of the printed area with built-in PMX commands. For example, for
U.S. lettersize with 1/2 in margins, right after the setup data put
w10i
h7.5i
>From that point forward, it's probably system dependent. For myself, under
Windows 7, in my test I found that no changes were needed when running TeX.
For dvips, I used
dvips -tlandscape file.dvi
I can't say whether you'd need a different option for European size paper.
Also, you might want to tweak the vertical and horizontal position of the
postscript output with dvips command line options like -o0.25in,-0.22in; I
didn't mess with that in my test and the postscript output looks slightly
low and to the left of center.
When I converted the .ps to .pdf using convert in gsview32/ghostscript, and
opened the result in Acrobat, it looked OK, the same as the .ps
I also found reference to a postscript special which might provide an
alternate approach, but didn't experiment with it. You could enter the
special via type 4 inline TeX at the top of the PMX file:
---
\special{papersize=11in,8.5in}%
---
but from then on you're on your own.
