D4 between A4 and B5
D4 is the geometric mean of A4 (210 × 297 mm) and B5 (176 × 250 mm). Its sides are about 8 % shorter than those of A4, and its area is 84 % of A4. The step from D4 up to A4 is the same as the step from A4 up to C4.
Cutting D4 from A4
You cannot buy D4 paper ready-made. The easiest way is to trim an A4 sheet: 18 mm off the width and 25 mm off the height. A paper trimmer does it in two cuts.
D4 and US Executive
The US has a size in the same range: Executive at 7.25 × 10.5 in, or 184.15 × 266.7 mm. D4 is about 8 mm wider and 5 mm taller. To print on D4, create a custom size in the printer driver, as D4 is not on any list. It fits an A4 frame with a mount and a C4 envelope flat.
