The problem here is that the PDF library limits things to specific page
sizes, *and* those page sizes are in centimeters, not inches. When you
specify a size LPub finds the closest page size from this list
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.5/qprinter.html#PaperSize-enum
that wholly encloses the page size you specified.
8.5x11 is a little smaller than its metric counterpart.

It’s true that 8.5”x11” (US letter size) is not the same size as metric A4, but
the above page includes an entry for QPrinter::Letter, which is exactly
8.5”x11”, so unless that’s not supported by LPub, I don’t think that’s the
problem. Remember, one inch is exactly 25.4 mm, so 8.5 inches is exactly 215.9
mm. So the fact that Qt internally use metric units shouldn’t hurt anything, as
long as those metric units can at least resolve one tenth of a millimeter.
