Changing document size ?

How can I change the size of my page in Illustrator? I'm working with a PDF.
I've followed the directions here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-64bea.htm l
They say to go to the print menu and do it there. But after I've done this, I click 'done' and the size of my page does not appear to change.
Later, I'm going to embed this PDF inside another document and I don't want there to be a lot of white space. Currently the bottom half of my A4 page is empty.
thanks for your help!

Use the artboard tool to select he art board you want to change. Then double click the artboard tool in the tool panel. Now you can enter a new size and position of the artboard.
You can also click the edit artboard button in the document setup to manually resize the artboard. Or just select it with the artboard tool to resize it manually.
Resizing all artboards at once is not possible. Perhaps a script or plug in. They are not actually pages and unlike a page layout program they can be different sizes in the same document. The designer who needs to control the publications graphic system in a consistent way throughout the publication. Do not even know if it is possible to eventually do.
You can only select one art board at a time. Keep in mind Illustrator is not a layout program but a vector art creation program. So the artboards are not actually pages.
It is a relative new feature.

But PDF doc is still in 8.5X11. Read ADOBE support help info. Terls me to change size in application rather than printer. BUT ACROBAT Pro does not give me a page set up option in FILE. I can only find one in the printer dialog box. Help!

from the FAQs on Staples website:
I have a file that I know is a PDF, but the website claims it is not in a PDF format. What should I do?
Check to see that the file has the .PDF extension. Also, check that the filename does not have any special characters such as an ampersand (“&”).
Regarding your measurements set to centimeters rather than inches; is it just in MS Word?
Or does it occur in all other applications.
Check your Work preferences first:
If it is happening in all your applications, check your Mac OS System Preferences.

Hello ! how to change document sizes and use our own size (not A3, A2 ...) thank you !

Experiment. No harm in trying.
If you are just starting to use Pages you need to make your own assessment given current events whether committing your work to a format and software given this support is a wise move.
You also need to look at what will produce workable results. Particularly if your large posters are to be commercially printed and contain large bitmap (photographic) images.
Always work backwards from your output. Ask your printer what they require to do their job.

How do I change document sizes?

Any help will be appreciated. I have a pdf document that has two (8.5" x 5.5") postcards on it in a "2 up" style on a 8.5" x 11" page. I want to effectively enlarge both post cards to 9" x 6.25". I am willing to live with removing one postcard from the page in order to accomplish this. Can someone help me?

Hi Michael!

Need help !

I want to permanently crop pdf. How? Crop tool only hides the cropped space but inside our heidelberg RIP it (pdf's page size) shows its actual size.

How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!
Steve

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.

Changing ppi changes pixel dimensions but not document size?

I have an image that is W=4.375 H=6.124 at 355 ppi the pixel dimensions area under Img > Image Size indicates it is W=1553 px H=2174
When I change the resolution to 72 px it is only changing the pixel dimensions and not the document size. I'm confuesed.
1. What is the difference between pixel dimensions and document size?
2. Is the document the same physical size regardless if I make it 200 ppi, 150 ppi or 72?
Thanks.

Let me see if I understand all of this:
- If I change the resolution the print dimension will stay the same, though what is it actually doing to the image if I increase the resolution, though it still is the same print dimension? I am guessing you can not just add pixels to a given size image and expect it to print better.
- If I change the dimensions, the resolution will change because there will be either more pixels for a smaller area or fewer pixels for a larger area, depending on how I size it.
Thanks.

Changing Resolution and Document size

Hello - I have a jpeg from a digital camera that I Saved As photo.psd with an original Document Size of 44" x 66" @ 72 ppi resolution.
I am using CS3 and I want to prepare the photo for printing while maintaining the highest quality possible. The first thing I did was uncheck Resample Image. Then I changed the resolution to 300. This gave me a Document Size of 10.56 x 15.84.
I want to enlarge the Document Size to 16" x 24" (the same proportions). So, it seems to me that the next step is to now check Resample Image and put in my new Document Size of 16" x 24". I would then apply some Unsharp Mask as desired.
So, should Ifollow the steps above or do you recommend a different workflow?
I've read that Photoshop will upres very well up to 200% and all I need is 166%, so it should work ok. Also, do you recommend standard Bicubic or Bicubic Smoother?
TIA

What you're suggesting will work, though you don't really need to do it in multiple steps. One step, with resampling checked, once you set all the fields as you want, will do the trick.
And for all the hype and mystery surrounding the two alternate choices for resampling, in all my work for minor resampling I always find I prefer Photoshop's original Bicubic method. For extreme upsampling I prefer, personally, a plug-in called Genuine Fractals.
Also, modern print drivers are getting very good at size matching... If the image quality in your file is to your liking, you COULD just set the print size in inches (without resampling) and be done with it. This would yield an image at a resolution lower than 300 pixels/inch, but would save you some work, and it may very well be that you will not be able to see any difference by letting the driver do the resampling as needed.

Change Default Document Size Attribute

I understand that I can make a custom attribute that displays the size in KB, MB, etc -
But I want to know how to edit the default Document Size attribute - surely that is possible?

How do you change the size of a photo in a document?

Hello
I've pasted a photo into a document I'm typing but the photo is too big. How do I change the size of the photo?
Thanks

TextEdit is not a very sophisticated program. As far as I know, there's no way to resize an image on the fly in TextEdit, so you'll have to follow Shotgun00's advice.
I would advise not using TextEdit for anything real. Buy yourself a copy of Pages from the App Store instead, you'll be much happier with its capabilities if you intend to create complex documents containing images and text.

My document size changes each time i close it

my document size change each time i close it. how can i lock in one size?

Hi K,
I never noticed that before. Mine only changes by a few bytes, unless I add a lot to the Word doc. I don't believe you can "lock it in."

Importing/ causing changes to document size

I have been finding that when I have been importing my retouched JPEG folder into LR it is changing the document size to change to something much smaller. Why is this happening? And how may I fix it so it won't change the size?
Thanks
Andrea

Honestly, there is no point in examining document size.
Your photo, before import was a certain number of pixels, let's say for example 3000x2000. After import, it will be the same number of pixels, 3000x2000. Not a single pixel has been discarded or added.

Changing the document size Attribute

Is it possible to change the document size Attribute to read in Kilobytes or MegaBytes, not just in bytes?
Thanks,

Could you provide an example procedure to display the document size? We also want to display the item size in MBytes within a content area.
Thanks
