I try to get width and heigth of page of my TMetfile printer

var MFPrinter: TMetaFilePrinter;

MFPrinter := TMetaFilePrinter.Create(nil);

MFPrinter.BeginDoc
DC := MFPrinter.Canvas.Handle;    

W:=GetDeviceCaps(DC,HORZSIZE)
H:=GetDeviceCaps(DC,VERTSIZE);

But always I get these results: W=286 and H=503 inappreciable which paper size I use (A3,A4,A5) or page orientation.

I think these dimensions is my screen size instead paper size.

What *is* a `TMetafilePrinter`? I don't think that is something that comes with Delphi... – Andreas Rejbrand Aug 19 '21 at 16:33
You get the values that your canvas offers regardless of which area you want to use. – USauter Aug 25 '21 at 09:27
