À propos de cet outil

US Letter is 8.5×11 inches. ISO A4 is 210×297 mm. They are close, but not the same: a Letter PDF printed on A4 (or the other way around) can clip a header or leave an ugly margin. This checker reads each page’s size and flags Letter, A4, or mixed documents before you send a contract to a UK printer or an A4 CV to a US portal.
