(To prospectus dated May 17, 2005)

US$400,000,000 71/8% Notes due 2015
Interest payable February 15 and August 15
Issue Price: 99.904%
We are offering US$400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 71/8% notes due August 15, 2015. We will pay
interest on the notes semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15,
2006. We may redeem some or all of the notes at any time at the redemption prices described on page S-17. In the
event of certain changes affecting Canadian withholding taxes, the notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole
but not in part, at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.
The notes will rank equally with all of our other unsecured, unsubordinated obligations from time to time
outstanding. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of
Domtar's subsidiaries.
See "Risk factors" beginning on page S-12 of this prospectus supplement, as well as the risk factors discussed
in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement
and the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with
an investment in the notes.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or
disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to
prepare this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in accordance with Canadian
disclosure requirements, which are different from United States disclosure requirements. We prepare our
financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein, in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles, and they are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence
standards. As a result, they may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
Owning the notes may subject you to tax consequences both in the United States and Canada. This prospectus
supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion contained in
this prospectus supplement.
Your ability to enforce civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely

About this prospectus supplement
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of the notes we
are offering and also adds to the information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying prospectus of
Domtar dated May 17, 2005, or the prospectus, which gives more general information, some of which may not apply
to this offering.
If the description of the notes varies between this prospectus supplement and the prospectus, you should rely
on the information in this prospectus supplement.
In making your investment decision, you should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus. We have not, and the underwriters have not,
authorized any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you
with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and the underwriters are not,
making an offer to sell the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should
assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the prospectus and the documents
incorporated by reference is accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition,
results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
Unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, in this prospectus supplement, "Domtar", "we", "us"
and "our" refer to Domtar Inc., its subsidiaries, its 50% investment interest in Norampac Inc. and its other joint
ventures. In this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are expressed in, and the term
"dollars" and the symbol "$" refer to, Canadian dollars. The term "US dollars" and the symbol "US$" refer to United
States dollars. Except as otherwise indicated, all financial statements and financial data contained in this prospectus
supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement have been prepared in
accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, or Canadian GAAP, which may differ from
United States generally accepted accounting principles, or US GAAP.

This prospectus supplement is deemed, as of the date hereof, to be incorporated by reference into the prospectus only
for the purposes of the offering of the notes. Other documents are also incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference into the prospectus and reference should be made to the prospectus for full details. The documents listed
under the heading "Documents Incorporated by Reference" in the prospectus are specifically incorporated by
reference in, and form an integral part of, this prospectus supplement. Material change reports (excluding

Any statement contained in the prospectus, in this prospectus supplement or in any other document
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus for the purposes of the offering of
the notes shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of the prospectus, to the extent that a
statement contained in this prospectus supplement or in any other subsequently filed document which also is
or is deemed to be incorporated by reference in the prospectus for the purposes of the offering of the notes
modifies or supersedes that statement. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has
modified or superseded a prior statement or include any other information set forth in the document that it
modifies or supersedes. The making of a modifying or superseding statement shall not be deemed an
admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a
misrepresentation, an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is
required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in
which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not constitute a part of the prospectus or
this prospectus supplement, except as so modified or superseded.

anticipated cost savings, the performance of

Table of Contents
Prospectus summary
The following is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the
more detailed information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and
the accompanying prospectus.
Domtar Inc.
Domtar Inc. was formed in 1929 under the laws of Canada and is the third largest producer of uncoated
freesheet paper in North America. We are also a leading manufacturer of business papers, commercial printing
and publication papers, and technical and specialty papers. We manage, according to internationally recognized
standards, 18 million acres of forestland in Canada and the United States, and produce lumber and other wood
products. We have 10,000 employees across North America. We also have a 50% investment interest in
Norampac Inc., the largest Canadian producer of containerboard.
Our reporting segments correspond to the following business activities: Papers, Paper Merchants, Wood and
Packaging.
Papers
We are the third largest integrated manufacturer and marketer of uncoated freesheet paper in North America.
We operate six pulp and paper facilities in Canada and five in the United States, with an annual paper
production capacity of approximately 2.6 million tons, complemented by strategically located warehouses and
sales offices. Over 50% of our paper production capacity is located in the United States and approximately 90%
of our paper sales are made to customers in the United States. Uncoated and coated freesheet papers are used for
business, commercial printing and publication, and technical and specialty applications.
We sell paper primarily through a large network of owned and independent merchants that distribute our paper
products throughout North America. We also sell our products to a variety of customers, including business
offices, office equipment manufacturers, retail outlets, commercial printers, publishers and converters. In
addition, we sell pulp in excess of our own internal requirements. We also purchase pulp to optimize paper
production and reduce freight costs. For the first six months of 2005, our net market pulp position (shipments
less purchases) was approximately 295,000 tons.
Our Papers business is our most important segment, representing 55% of consolidated sales in the first six
months of 2005, or 60% when including sales of Domtar paper through our own Paper Merchants business.
Paper Merchants
Our Paper Merchants business comprises the purchasing, warehousing, sale and distribution of various products
made by Domtar and other manufacturers. These products include business and printing papers, graphic arts
supplies and certain industrial products. Domtar-owned paper merchants operate in the United States and
Canada under a single banner and umbrella name, the Domtar Distribution Group, the fifth largest paper
