[Therion] pdf creation for very small pages

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I think my problem stemmed from the use of MS Word (which doesn't surprise
me).  Even though it allows custom page sizes, it somehow tricks the pdf
printer drivers into printing to A4 if the custom page size is very small.
If I use a non microsoft applications it seems to work OK.

I figured out what was going wrong with pdfcrop.  As a first time python
user I was making an embarrassing mistake.
Windows users of python can find some tips here

indows 

I have not persevered however, because pdfcrop does not do quite what I want
(according to it's supporting documentation).
