So lets say I have document of A4 size with contents well below the margin.
If I make my media box larger, than this, still the contents would be
starting off from (0,0) of the new coordinate system? and I would not be
able to add footer/headers neatly. I am not concerned about page size
currently.
Maybe i am not getting the entire picture. I do understand that contents and
interactive features are different.
"Yes, it would be much easier if you made the MediaBox larger." This i am
doing this currently, but cant seem to notice any effect on the resulting
document.
I took the code from link given in this thread before.
Please help!
Thanks,
Subhro.
