Just as the title says, I'm interested in how important having A4 paper size alternatives are versus the 11 by 8.5 inch letter format. Would you (as customers) like to see more of this from 3PP or is stretching the product when printing sufficient? I'm mainly addressing products that aren't just straight text pages.
Let us hear your thoughts and opinions. :D
Everyone indifferent?
If I was going to print anything I'd say A4, because that's what I always use. (I don't use the imperial system except in-game or for Warhammer 40K)
However, if I have no intention of printing it or would rather buy a physical copy it doesn't really matter as long as it looks good.
Leonal - Quite understandable... I mostly create printable media in a way that only makes sense to print at home. Just wondering how many people do A4 or A6 printing.
Marc Radle - I agree most prefer Letter, I'm just trying to figure out how many people would prefer this format. More info here. I believe it's used outside of the US.
8.5x11 is unheard of outside North America. Everyone else uses A4 as the standard. Cater to your audience. If you sell a lot of PDFs outside the US, go with A4. If not, business as usual.

This is true. Unfortunately, I have no other way to tell if anyone else wants A4, but I'm certain that Letter sized will alway come first (majority audience and all). :D

Well I'm an American living in New Zealand (previously Thailand), so I can see both sides of the issue, I guess. Personally, printing in US Letter format scaled to A4 has never been an issue, as I don't mind the extra whitespace and the artifacts generated by upscaling don't show up on my crappy Epson printout.

I've never had any real problems printing stretched US Letter PDFs on A4. As for more "size sensitive" products such as spell cards or the like, how about just making sure the relevant content fits within the minimum diameters of both formats and supply a printing guide.
I'll admit that it's the lack of info on how well they print on an A4 printer that's held me back from buying your Core Spell Card Set.
I appreciate all for your feedback. The responses to a A4 option are significant enough that I will try to pursue it. I'll still be outputting Letter sized pages though.
Bloodsbane - I have to be honest, I haven't tried it, but I will... and I'll let you know how it goes. I would like to offer a page with the native settings for A4 and A6 also.
I am going to go buy a pack of A4 paper right now. I planned on converting the spell cards to A4 and A6 as well. I would have originally done this with the first sets of the character sheets, but I was pretty inexperienced then and I have learned a lot from the Spell Cards.
As always, the Paizo boards come through for answers, thanks! :D
