- carlosjobim 2y agoYes, but today most of them never exit cyberspace. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to consider that instead of printing? Edit: Also, are there any advantages with large papers like A4/Letter for physical prints, except that you can fit more on a single page?
- freeone3000 2y agoIt’s as simple as most consumer printers printing A4/Letter, and most paper being A4/Letter.
- carlosjobim 2y agoThe more I think about it, the more I'm getting convinced that A4/Letter was a mistake. Maybe we'll see something like A5 as a standard in the future, that would be neat.
- chrismorgan 2y ago> PDFs are in Letter (rarely A4) You must be from North America. In the rest of the world, it’s always A4. I encounter A4 PDFs fairly often, but don’t know how long it would be since I encountered Letter, but easily years.
