The issue is that the used plugin <em>smpdf</em> is free for non-commercial use only and it annoyingly <strong>also overwrites metadata</strong> information to state this.</p> <p>The following tool remedies these metadata changes (but not the license situation!).</p>

Parameters provided are width and height in float or integer format.</p> <p>Return is a string like "A4-P" or "Letter-L" when an exact fit is found. If not, information is provided as a string like "width x height (other), closest &lt;format&gt; width x height". The closest format in this case is determined by minimizing the sum of absolute differences of width and height with a table of official formats.</p>

I wanted to get the right answers in ANY situation: Python 2 or 3, compiled or interpreted (interactive or batch). The following code has been tested under Windows, Python 2.7, Python 3.4, IDLE, IPython (sh and Qt), PyInstaller, cx_Freeze, py2exe.</p>
