How to Scale or Resize PDF Pages in Acrobat

Introduction to Scale or Resize PDF Pages

To know how to scale or resize PDF pages is a skill that can save you a lot of time and money.
Why?
Because disasters do happen.
Imagine you have finished a 900-page PDF document and you realize that the left margin should’ve been 0.5 inch smaller. Oops!
No cause for fear and trembling though. It’s actually very easy to take care of this vexing problem if you own a copy of the Acrobat Professional, or the “writer” version of the Acrobat (as opposed to the freely downloadable “reader” version).

Steps to Follow to Scale or Resize PDF Pages

Open your misformatted PDF document in Acrobat Professional and follow these steps:
1) Select Document > Crop Pages from the main menu to display the Crop Pages dialog box.
2) Select the LEFT margin and enter 0.5 by making sure that the Unit is in inches.
3) Select ALL for the Page Range.
4) Click OK, and you are done.
You can also select to change only a certain range of pages by entering the page Numbers in the From and To fields.
You can further specify if you want those changes only in ODD or EVEN numbered pages (within the specified range) by selecting the appropriate option from the APPLY TO drop-down list.
You can always cancel your margin changes by clicking the Set to Zero button.
And by selecting the Constrain Proportions check-box you can adjust all 4 margins simultaneously, by the same amount.

How to Resize Single Page in PDF

One of the most frustrating things to do with a PDF is finding out that it’s too big to fit on your screen. You have two options: you can either scroll left, right, up and down or you can resize the page.

Resizing the page is easy. All you need to do is open up Acrobat Reader and go to View then Page Display. Once there, select “Page Fit” from the drop-down menu and enter a percentage value in the box below.

How to Resize Pages in a PDF File Using Adobe Acrobat

When you have a PDF file that is too large to fit on a single page, you can use Acrobat to resize the page. You can also use it to make sure that the pages are all in the right order and that they are properly aligned with one another.

You can do this by going to Tools -> Document Properties -> Page tab -> Page Size and Layout.

From there, select “Fit” or “Shrink” as your option for how you want the document size to be changed. You can also select “Multiple Pages per Sheet,” which will allow you to specify how many pages should be on each sheet of paper when printing out your document.

Simple Ways to Change PDF Page Size

The PDF page size is the dimensions of a document in PDF format. The size of a PDF page can be changed easily using the following methods:

1) Reduce the amount of space on each side of the page by reducing margins or shrinking margins to zero.

2) Increase the number of pages in a document by reducing margins or shrinking margins to zero.

3) Change the orientation from portrait to landscape or vice versa.
