Changing page size from legal to letter with same size font when printed

I have the problem that I get a pdf which is in legal size format. I need to print this in letter size, sign it and re-scan it and send via email to a person who then needs to print it and sign it and scan it. What is happening is the person who I have to send this too can only scan letter size paper. I can make the legal size form print, (shink to fit printable area), as letter size but the font becomes so small that it is unreadable. What I need to do is resize the legal to letter but keep the same size font. I expect this to make the document 2 pages but that is fine. I can not find how to do this. I have Adobe 9.

Does the original legal size document content occupy more space than would fit on 8.5x11? If not, then you can simply set the page size in print driver properties to letter, and in the Page Handling area of the Print dialog box tell it:
Page Scaling: None
check: Auto-Rotate and Center
do not check: Choose paper source by PDF page size - this will force it to print on the paper selected in the print driver properties.
If the actual content is too large to print on the forced paper, then you need to (in the Page Handling area of the print dialog) tell it:
Page Scaling: Tile large pages
This will allow the remaining content to print on a second page

Mavericks custom page sizes issue when printing

Does anybody have a solution to why my custom page sizes are scaling my print jobs even though it is set not too?
This issue has only occurred since i updated to mavericks 10.9.3. The page setups were the same ones i previously used without problem.
Default page setups work correctly.
I have tried recreating each custom page size but still have the same problem.
I print mostly using adobe acrobat or adobe indesign. using indd files or pdf's
I have installed all latest drivers and updates for my peripherals in case that was an issue. But no solution.
If i cant sort a solution for this issue im gonna have to revert back and i dont want to do that.

Cannot change page size with acrobat

I am able to convert my manuscript in Mac word(2011) to adobe acrobat (XI); unfortunately the 6 X 9 " page size does not convert. I spent a few hours on the phone with adobe support and the final resolution was to upload the file to them and they converted it for me. however, they used distiller which reduced the file size and appears to have affected the many images. Does anyone have any advice? The best I have been able to glean online is work with inDesign to change page size.

Thanks.
The problem was with the paper size. In addition to change the page size I needed to change the paper size in the print option before selecting save Adobe PDF.
From Word go to File> Print
Open the Copies & Pages dropdown
Select Paper Handling
Check the Scale to fit paper size box
Open the Destination Paper Size list
Select your custom 6x9 Preset
Click the PDF button
Select either Save as PDF or Save as Adobe PDF
The unfortunate thing is that I was able to do this initially, but when I went back to replicate it adobe is creating 2 files one with my cover page and the rest to the manuscript. Luckily my initial copy was good. Thanks again for your help.

Introduce left/top margin: Change Page Size ignored

I have a vector drawing of a technical schematic in PDF. The drawing is an extract of a much larger schematic, so it is very small: 2.2" by 1.648". However, when I print it out, it is resized to fill up a Letter size paper (8.5" by 11") and the size is then perfect for viewing. Also, the PDF has no white space around the edges, so the same PDF is perfect for importing into documentation packages.
However, for hard copy printing, depending on the exact aspect ratio of the drawing, I will sometimes want to introduce white space along one edge for hole-punching purposes. I am opening the PDF and printing it from Acrobat 8 Professional. I cannot use Document->Cropping because I am trying to introduce a margin rather reduce an existing margin. I tried using the Change Page Size controls in the cropping dialog panel. Originally, it was set to Fixed Sizes and Page Sizes was set to None. I selected Custom instead of Fixed Sizes, then I entered in the Width and Height in inches, with the Height being about 0.5" more than the original 1.648" (it's landscape, so the holes will be at the top). However, the illustrative diagram does not change, and neither do the dimensions shown on it. I click OK and the PDF as viewed did not change -- no white space. When I go back into the Change Paper Size dialog, all the size data that I entered is gone and the control have reverted back to Fixed Size with a Page Size of None. I explored the dropdown list for Page Sizes, and none of them are appropriate for such a small diagram.
What I'm trying to achieve is a pretty simple effect, and I thought it would be straightforward. It has to be *very* simple as I expect to do this regularly. Is there actually a way? Ideally, it doesn't involve calculating all sorts of bounding boxes and offsets. Who knows what the assumed reference points for those are. In fact, the most direct way would be to enter a negative Margin Controls in the Crop Margins region of the dialog. That is not possible, of course.

Actually, I found a way. The reason why the page size was being ignored is because the numbers were too small. If I enter a big enough number, it sticks. It would be nice to get a message to that effect though.......sigh.
I can then adjust the cropping margins to get the gutter.
Thanks.

Change Page Size Equally

I'm working on a book that is 130 pages. It needs to print regualry (offset) and also needs to print digitally at a slightly reduced size -- original size is 6.5 x 9.25 in. The digital size will be 6.125 x 9.25. I know how to change a page size, but when I change the width the reduced size comes off the outside of each page (book is setup with facing pages). The client wants each page to remain exactly as is in the original book size (just with copy and images centered on the new page size) so I can't use Layout adjustment. Is there any way to control the reduction of page size so that the change in width comes off both sides of the page (which would save me the time of having to recenter everything)?
Any suggestions appreciated (File is in CS5)
Jeff

Without checking, these three simple options come to mind:
Change the document from facing pages and make the width change, change back to facing -
Export to pdf and crop the pages in Acrobat -
Create a second document and place the original 130 ID pages into that, offset -.125.
I would use the third option as it would always reflect the live changes to the original.

Change page size in Acrobat Pro 6.0

Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to change page sizes in Acrobat Pro 6.0 for Windows. We are receiving manuscripts which have been assembled from various documents. They're going to be printed at 8.5 x 11, but sometimes some of the pages are 7 x 10. Is there an automated way to change all the 7 x 10 pages to 8.5 x 11? We don't want to have to do each page individually because there are too many of them.
Many thanks,
Coral

You could try printing to a new PDF with the PDF printer, setting the page size to 8.5 x 11 and setting the page scaling option to 'Fit to Printable Area'. This will hopefully leave the existing 8.5 x 11 ones about the same size (it may shrink them slightly) and scale the other sizes.

XI Pro: How to change page size?

I have a letter-sized document where each page has extremely large margins and text in a tiny font size. Can I use the 'Remove White Margins' function (Crop pages > Set Page Boxes) to remove the large margins and then resize what remains back to 8.5" x11" using the 'Change Page Size' function?
When I try this, I can do the first step and I'm left with pages about 5.5"x8". But the Change Page Size function does not allow me to resize the page.
It this possible?

Hi J Kart,
Please refer the doc: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-resize-pages-in-a-pdf-file

Change page size and get error on Booklet. Why?! Only in CS6...

Why when we are working with a material of many pages, and all pages have the same measure, and alter the size of each page (in File -> Document Setup), we can no longer generate booklets? I was tested in version CS5 and it worked perfectly in version CS6 gives error:
"The active document uses multiple pages sizes. Booklet Print works only with documents That use consistent page size."
I've checked all pages and it all have identical size between them.
Take a test.
Open a new file with multiple pages. Try to create a booklet. Will function properly. After this, go to File -> Size and change the page size of the pages. Now try to create a booklet. Will give error.
I tested in a couple of macs...

Well I am having this exact issue.
I have seen many posts in other areas of this discussion and online elsewhere. As it goes, Adobe is going to get sued for this.
I paid for a working feature of the software in CS6. Simply releasing a new version and forcing the user to pay for a fix to a problem in an old version is not lawful business. It's extorsion. They did not uphold their end of the bargain on the contract of me paying for a working product.
The owness is on them now to fix the bugs in the current versions of broken software.

If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8. Trying to figure out how to do that...
To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here: You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

Possible to enlarge white space by changing page size?

Greetings. I'm using Acrobat 10 pro now, but in 9 it was possible to enlarge the white space around the text by changing the page size as part of the crop command. This was very handy for creating an area large enough for text box comments. I can't find this capability in 10. Am I, hopefully, mistaken?

Select: Tools > Pages > Crop
and then double-click on the page. You'll then get the Crop dialog and you can select a larger page size in the CHange Page Size area.

Can Reader pick up the Default Page Size of a printer that is not the Windows Default Printer?

We have a web based application that generates PDF documents via Crystal Reports.
We are using Adobe Reader 8
The PDF pages are displayed within an Internet Explorer window where the the users then print the document.
The application is designed so the user only gets one chance to print the document (ie they cant come back and change printer settings if they happen to print the document out incorrectly)
The document needs to be printed on A3 paper, full duplex.
We have a printer set-up decidated to the printing of the documents generated by this application. The default page size of this printer is set of A3.
If we set this dedicated printer as the Windows Default Printer we have no problems at all. The default page size (A3) is picked up and the document is printed correctly.
If any other printer is set as the Windows Default Printer (eg one that has a default page size of A4), the users must obviously select the correct printer from the Print Dialogue Box -however when the user selects the dedicated A3 printer, the page size remains as A4 (page size of the Windows Default Printer). This means the user must remember to change the paper size to A3 each time.
Out users find IT a struggle at the best of times - anything that makes the process simpler is very welcomed!
Is there a way to ensure the default page size of the printer is respected when that printer is not the Windows Default Printer?
Thanks!

No.

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.
