A3 graph paper size and orientation
A3 graphing paper is 297 × 420 mm in portrait or 420 × 297 mm in landscape. It has twice the area of A4. These printable A3 grid paper PDFs keep 5mm, 1cm and 1/4 inch spacing unchanged when you switch orientation.
A3 and 11×17 are different paper sizes. Select the sheet actually loaded in your printer; scaling one to fit the other changes the grid spacing.
