Ax is the size of the paper.  A4 is pretty close to US letter size.  A3 is
two times A4, A2 is two times A3 etc.  An A5 is half the size of A4 etc.

The corresponding Cx is the size of the envelope to hold the paper.  The
usage of Bx evades me at the moment.

Landscape/Portrait is a seperate attribute.
