Printable planner A4: paper sizes & a better first print

A4 paper in your printer? Choose the A4 PDF, match your printer settings and test one page. Every Paper & Plan catalog planner includes A4 and US Letter files, so you can choose your paper size without another purchase.

A4 vs US Letter: what’s different?

A4 is a little narrower and taller than US Letter. They are not interchangeable at 100% scale. Using a Letter PDF on A4 paper can change margins or clip content; use the matching file instead.

Your paper packaging is the best guide: either size may be available wherever you live. Both PDF versions contain the same planner content.

How to print an A4 planner PDF

  1. Download the A4 version.

    After payment is confirmed, choose the A4 download link for your purchased planner. Save the PDF and open it in a PDF reader rather than printing a preview image.

  2. Load A4 paper and select A4.

    Check both the PDF reader’s print dialog and your printer’s paper settings. Select portrait orientation for these catalog pages.

  3. Start at actual size, 100%.

    Avoid enlargement. Print one page first and check that the text, lines and writing spaces are inside the printable area.

  4. Print only what you need.

    Use the page-range setting for your favourite sheets. Print in colour or grayscale. Test double-sided printing separately before committing to a stack.

Catalog planners use crisp vector text and lines. Custom AI planners are image-based; inspect their preview for text or layout mistakes before buying. Final quality also depends on your printer and paper.

Fix the first page before printing the rest

Edges cut off?
First match the PDF, paper and printer setting. If an edge still clips, select fit to printable area. This can slightly shrink writing spaces; review a test page.
Everything looks too small?
Check that you selected one page per sheet, not multiple pages per sheet. Use the matching A4 file and try actual size rather than an unnecessary scale reduction.
Want A5 binder inserts?
A5 is 148 × 210 mm and is not an included file size. Scaling an A4 sheet down reduces text and writing space. For the intended layout, use the supplied A4 or Letter version.
Using a print shop?
Bring the purchased PDF and request A4 paper, one page per sheet, without extra enlargement. Ask for one test page. Purchased files are for personal use, not resale or redistribution.
