I have seen the options such as a4paper, a5paper, letterpaper, etc. to go in the square brackets after \documentclass, but what I want is 8.25 inches width by 10.75 inches height for one document and 6 inches width by 9 inches height for another one. How is this done?

\documentclass \usepackage \usepackage[paperheight=10.75in,paperwidth=8.25in,margin=1in,heightrounded,showframe] \begin \Blinddocument \end

Here is method without using a package:
\pdfpagewidth 8.25in \pdfpageheight 10.75in NB this won't work if the desired dimensions are less than the default margins of the document type. e.g. I tried making a 8.5" x 1" with \documentclass
The geometry package, version 2020/01/02 v5.9, now has the command ''heightrounded'', which calculates for you an integer number of lines of text in ''\textheight''. So, it is suggested that that if you change ''\baselineskip'', that this be done before calling geometry:
