I have a bunch of old latex (tex) files that I want to put on the reader. I've tried to use tex2rtf but it's ignoring some of the packages that I use in the tex files.

I'm thinking that the best way would be tex -> PS -> PDF, but the only problem with that is that the page size is set to A4 by default.

Google, being my friend, informed me that I can set the page size using the

\special{papersize=xx,yy}

directive in my tex files. The question is, what should it be set to so that the PDF won't look like microscopic crap? Something like a classic paperback book (6 7/8 x 4 1/4)?
