A4T | {{size|210|297|p=4}} | {{size|180|277|p=4}} |} ISO 5457 specifies drawing paper sizes with a trimmed size equal to the A series sizes from A4 upward. The untrimmed sizes are 3 to 4 cm larger and rounded to the nearest centimetre. A0 through A3 are used in landscape orientation, while A4 is used in portrait orientation. Designations for pre-printed drawing paper include the base sizes and a suffix, either ''T'' for trimmed or ''U'' for untrimmed sheets. The withdrawn standard ISO 2784 did specify sizes of continuous, fan-fold forms based upon whole inches as was common for paper in continuous lengths in automatic data processing (ADP) equipment. Specifically, {{convert|12|in|mm}} was considered an untrimmed variant of the A4 height of 297 mm. {| class="wikitable" |+ ISO 2784:1974 correspondence for continuous ADP paper !rowspan=2| Size !colspan=3| Acceptable equivalent !colspan=3| Direct equivalent !
