  PageFormat documentPageFormat = new PageFormat();
  PageFormat documentPageFormat1 = new PageFormat();
  Paper paper = new Paper();
  Paper paper1 = new Paper();
  paper.setSize(4.5 * POINTS_PER_INCH, 2.5 * POINTS_PER_INCH);
  paper.setImageableArea(.25 * POINTS_PER_INCH, .25 * POINTS_PER_INCH,
   4 * POINTS_PER_INCH, 2 * POINTS_PER_INCH);
  documentPageFormat.setPaper(paper);
  paper1.setSize(5.5 * POINTS_PER_INCH, 5.5 * POINTS_PER_INCH);
  paper1.setImageableArea(.25 * POINTS_PER_INCH, .25 * POINTS_PER_INCH,
