Description

Currently `org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.common.PDRectangle` has constants for commonly used paper sizes like A3, A4, ... , as well as North American ones (LETTER and LEGAL).

 

However, a constant for a common North American paper format TABLOID (similar to A3) is missing (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size#North_American_paper_sizes). The dimensions of it are 11×17 inches or 279×432 mm.

It would be great if PDFBox added a constant for it.

 

Workaround - create a PDRectangle of needed dimensions yourself via:

new PDRectangle(PDRectangle.LETTER.getHeight(), PDRectangle.LETTER.getWidth() * 2);
