CTAN Update: zwpagelayout
by CTAN Announcements 21 May '12

21 May '12

On Sun, 20 May 2012, Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the zwpagelayout package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was developed as a typographers toolbox offering the most important features for everyday work. First it allows setting the paper size as well as the page layout. The next important feature is the ability of printing crop marks both with TeX + dvips or (x)dvipdfm(x) and with pdfTeX. Finally it is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically. Partial PDF/X conformance is implemented and black overprint is enabled in pdfTeX, dvips, as well as (x)dvipdfm(x) drivers, i.e in XeLaTeX. Version 1.4a is a bug fix, an infinite loop occured if a user requested nonexistent page style (e.g. as a result of a misprint). Version 1.4 implements black overprint for (x)dvipdfm(x) family of drivers, i.e. it now works also with XeLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout .
