So you want to fit that on letter sized pages, but magnified, or with smaller margins? I'm not quite sure what you want. Did you try setting the width and height of your device to a letter sized page (upper left of GUI in Windows version)? Then you could try the "fit width" mode or the "2 column" mode (also upper left) and see how you like the results.

Basically, what I want to do is to save paper when printing pdf scientific papers. No need for magnification (and certainly I do not want smaller fonts either!), but I could do without margins, page numbers, headers and footers, etc. I don't mind if the result is 1 or 2 columns, but I feel 1 column saves space. thanks! |

I don't care much for the references, I usually don't print them anyway. But the tables and figures are important.
Your second suggestion handles most tables and figures better, but the text font size was a bit smaller. I am not sure it is worth either, but I appreciate your assistance. Thank you very much |

@user743 -- Yes, but you have to explicitly tell it. See my right-to-left help page.

"commentary" support?
Will it detect surrounding text, after the centered text ( - main content). in a page with three columns, with the outer columns rapping around the center column. like this:
Code:
