# PMGetAdjustedPaperRect(_:_:)

Obtains the rectangle defining the paper size, taking into account orientation, application drawing resolution, and scaling settings.

## Declaration

```swift
func PMGetAdjustedPaperRect(_ pageFormat: PMPageFormat, _ paperRect: UnsafeMutablePointer<PMRect>) -> OSStatus
```

## Parameters

- `pageFormat`: The page format object whose adjusted paper rectangle you want to obtain.
- `paperRect`: A pointer to your doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/applicationservices/core_printing/pmrect structure. On return, the structure describes the current paper size, in points, taking into account scaling, rotation, and application resolution settings. The coordinates of the upper-left corner of the paper rectangle are specified relative to the page rectangle. The coordinates of the upper-left corner of the page rectangle are always (0,0), which means the coordinates of the upper-left corner of the paper rectangle are always negative or (0,0). See Supporting Printing in Your Carbon Application for more information on page and paper rectangles.

## Return Value

Return Value A result code. See Result Codes.

## Discussion

Discussion Before using this function, you must call the function PMSessionValidatePageFormat(_:_:_:) to ensure that the values for the adjusted paper rectangle correctly account for scaling, rotation, and application resolution settings.
