By the way the dimensions for those two sizes are as follows. This command will produce the 'mypaper.pdf' with the US letter paper size. usr/texbin/dvipdfm -p letter mypaper.dvi

Now we can convert this dvi to a PDF with suitable page size (US letter in this case) using the following command.

This will produce the 'mypaper.dvi' file. Of course, the path to latex (/usr/texbin/latex) depends on your MacTex installation and this is the default installation path.

Now open a Terminal and type the following command to produce a dvi file.

At the end of the day that is what matters most. Write your document using TexShop (producing A4 size PDFs as it is done by default) and concentrate on the content of the document. So I thought I would share this solution with the rest of the world. So I adopted the following command line approach and it works like a charm even without having to modify a single configuration file. Naturally, I tried those solutions (giving up the hope of finding a solution that can do this paper size change per document basis as it should be and not for the entire latex system) but failed. This is where the problem begins and all sorts of solutions are proposed on the Web and most require you changing your entire latex configuration to produce US letter size (at least temporary until you revert those changes back to A4). This is all fine for most cases but some conferences require you to submit in US letter format and do not accept A4.

Here is the original program and source, recompiled for modern 64 bit Intel systems.By default when you install MacTex and use TexShop for writing and compiling latex you will get PDFs with page size A4. On Sierra, the program supports tabs because, well, that change requires no new code.

The program does not support automatic saving because that feature must be activated.Īctivation requires just one line of code and would be easy. This was not in the original, but it is present now because the change requires no new code. For instance, if you quit the program with a file openĪnd later start again, the file will be reloaded. As a result, later improvements in Cocoa automatically apply to it, without code changes. Even Gerben's distribution of teTeX did not appear until a few months later. Preference settings for the tex and latex programs, since /usr/texbin and /Library/TeX/texbinĭid not yet exist. The original version and source are available below.

I fixed this by writing a very small new class to display the original rtf file. In the original macOS, help files were rtf files, but Apple soon switched to html help files. This was a 32-64īit issue, fixed by changing "unsigned" to "UInt".

The command to select a source line by giving its line number failed.Surprisingly, the original code compiled without errors, and the running program had only two small glitches: Recently I recompiled the program for 64 bit Intel code.

#TEXSHOP TO PDF 32 BIT#

Of course the original version had 32 bit PowerPC code. When I finally got the release version of macOS a week before the official release, I was thrilled to see that the embedded font bug had been fixed, and I ripped out the Ghostscript rendering preference from TeXShop. Rendering was fuzzy but symbols could be seen. To get around this problem, the program had a preference setting to render using Ghostscript rather than Apple software. So originally TeXShop could only display files written in Times Roman, and without mathematical symbols. It could not access embedded fonts in a document. That had not run for ten years, so now Horn has almost the entire run of sources forĪt the release, macOS was still in beta it was released on March 24, 2001.īefore that, Apple's PDF code had an important bug. I know that because Max Horn has beenĬollecting and archiving TeXShop source code folders.
