# Convert millimeters to inches and then to pixels at given DPI
# Dimensions in millimeters
width_mm = 420
height_mm = 594
# Conversion factor from mm to inches
mm_to_inch = 1 / 25.4
# Convert dimensions to inches
width_inch = width_mm * mm_to_inch
height_inch = height_mm * mm_to_inch
# DPI value
dpi = 300
# Convert dimensions to pixels
width_px = width_inch * dpi
height_px = height_inch * dpi
