Would it be possible to add a new paper size to the list of many in BLOOM? In Colombia a very common paper size is “folio” or “oficio”, which is somewhat shorter than legal size paper - 8.5 X 13". Half this size (8.5 X 6.5") is very useful for books because it is a little wider than the half-letter size.

Thanks for your consideration!

Yes Penelope, we can work on that. So in English, we would call this “Half Folio”?

Yes, it would be “half folio”. Folio-size paper shows up on the printers I am accustomed to using, and it is 8.5 X 13" (not 13.5").

Thank you!

Hi again,

I recently worked in Bolivia and discovered that this paper size (folio, 8.5 X 13) is very common there also, besides in Colombia. No doubt it is used in other Latin American countries also. Just wanted to confirm the request again since it is a very useful size for books. When folded in half the extra width allows more space for illustrations and primer material.

Thanks, Penelope

This has been completed and will be part of 6.1 which will become the Beta release before the end of the year.
