I would like to create PDFs in Letter format (8.5x11 Inches).

I tried modifying "config/config.ini" and changing the export.pdf.papersize setting. I tried values of "Letter", "letter", "LETTER", "US-Letter", "BROKEN_SETTING" and I got A4 sized PDFs every time. When I put "syntax:error=yes" as the setting, I got a Zend_Config_Exception, so it appears that the file is at least being parsed.

I then noticed that there is a si_system_defaults tables in my database. That table includes a row with name "pdfpapersize" with an associated value of "A4". I tried modifying this value, but again, it seemed to have no effect.

What do I need to do in order to generate letter sized PDFs?

I am running the version of simpleinvoices from simpleinvoices.2010.1.zip

I dug around in the code some more and I found that when I changed line 2447 of include/sql_queries.php from
$media = Media::predefined("A4");
to
$media = Media::predefined($config->export->pdf->papersize);

It now generates the correct sized PDF.

As a side note: I found it difficult to search through the code because there is so much commented out stuff that isn't used anymore. Revision control is for keeping old code. Comments are not. If it's not used, delete it!
