Not getting A5 borders of my document but cutouts of A4 pages in A5 size

[Former user]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running classicthesis example with setup paper = a5
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A5 Version of the classictheis with proper borders of the page

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Classicthesis 3.0 (also tried 4.1)on Windows 8 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
I've written my phd thesis in A4 and was very satisfied with the result. Now I am up
to make an DIN A5 Version of this by editing the main file to "paper=a5". I got pretty
much A5 cutouts of my A4 pages.

I also tried it with the original example of the classicthesis template (in Version
3.0 and 4.1). I'm still getting the same result if you look at the attached screenshot.

LaTeX is giving me the warning:
Package typearea Warning. Maybe no optimal type ares settings!
The maximum limit of line with is about 20% larger than the heuistically detected line
width. You may e.g. increase DIV, decrease fontsize or change papersize.

I tried changing to 10 pt fontsize but this only changed the above mentioned value
from 20% to 22%. DIV is also not an option in the sty files.

Am I missing something obvious in using the classicthesis?

Classicthesis (still) parses the old style option a5paper, so you should use it in the
\documentclass declaration instead of paper=a5.
Cf. Examples/classicthesis-book.tex

Great thank you, this is doing the job.

Alternatively, use in \documentclass paper=a5 and when loading classicthesis the option
a5paper. 

Yes, this is not beautiful, but if anybody knows a way to pass the class option paper=a5
to classicthesis automatically, help is highly appreciated.

Thanks, but I'm not really sure how to load the option a5paper in the classicthesis.sty.
How should I do it and would it be better than choosing the other option?

I am happy to make my degree thesis available in a smaller format. In this way, I can offer you better readability and not take up as much desk space and also do visit https://www.econotimes.com/Best-Essay-Writing-Service-Review-By-Industry-Experts-1623445 site for quality essay writing review. Of course it is still the same content and research results that are available from A4 version. Thank you!
