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.
