wkpdf fails on OS X 10.5 with undefined method `pageSizeForPaper' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) #11

This problem is causes by a recent change to improve the compatibility with SnowLeopard.

Fixing this problem should be pretty easy by storing a table of paper format names and corresponding page sizes in wkpdf.

Below is a list of paper names and sizes as used by ghostview.

What remains to do is to change the method parsePaperSize in lib/commandline_parser.rb to use the values from the list below, instead of querying the printer object. I think this is even a better solution than querying NSPrinter.printerWithType("Generic PostScript Printer") because I don't know, whether this printer is available on all systems.

This problem has been fixed in commit 66439f631d61 which is available in wkpdf-0.3.8. Now wkpdf should be compatible again with OS X 10.5.
