I publish poetry in PDF format, because friends with iOS devices and 
iBooks software have informed me that the PDF format is great for use 
with iBooks... each page can contain one poem, and double-tapping the 
screen causes iBooks to "zoom to width" of the text, presenting a nice, 
screen-filling, vertically-scrolling-if-needed page containing the poem 
at the largest font size that avoids line breaks.
I generate the PDF files using 8.5x11 paper size, and 10 point font.
The question: How could I generate the PDF file with variant page sizes 
(widths primarily, but possibly height as well), such that each poem 
would have a page size that just fits the poem?  I speculate this would 
avoid the need for the double-tap when viewing on iOS devices.
