I can understand some basic German. I only live a couple of yards from the border. I guess my settings would be like this: Mediabox : 9.25" x 6.25" Cropbox : 9.25" x 6.25" Bleedbox : 9.25" x 6.25" Trimbox : 9.00" x 6.00" Artbox : 9.00" x 6.00" Should I supply metadata so pdfTeX can store this in the final PDF? If so, how do I do it? But Lulu probably doesn't use them... They accept PDFs make with Word/PDF-Printer, so it can't be _that_ complex.
