Crop/Resize Document Page Size?

So I am using Acrobat Pro XI and I have a PDF form that was 8.5" x 11". When I open the form up and edit everything that needs to be edited, I end up with a lot of white space. So now my document is 8.5" x 5.75" - I need to make this PDF Form this size...why, you ask? Because I want to import it into my FormsCentral account and when it wants to apply the Submit button, it will do it in the proper place (lower right corner).
(If you are familar with FormsCentral: Why can't I move the Submit button anywhere I want it to be on my document?? The four corners is not practical. I had a test user looking for the Submit button!!)
Thanks for your help!!

I have also read a document on how to save the FormsCentral PDF as a COPY - I don't have that option!! I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and there is NO Save A Copy under the File menu. Am I missing something??

Document page size in inch at the bottom right

how to disable & hide & remove page size pop ups at the bottom left.
You should open pdf and mouse over at the bottom left and you should see little pop ups which says something similar to "8.5 x 11.0 in". Now do you understand me? if not hover the mouse over again to the bottom left when opened a pdf document.
Do you remember my question at the first line? if not then read again. There is how to question.

Hi Sirius,
I like your faking style!
Go to Edit->Preferences ->Page Display
Set the 'Always show document page size' to enabled (checked)
This will now stop the popup from displaying and the page size will now be a permanent display at the bottom left

How to change the document page size in a PDF?

OK can't figure a way to do this and hoping it's still possible. On mac snow leopard, adobe X pro. Use to be able to resize the pages in a pdf by printing to the pdf distiller. As this is no longer possible how do I accomplish this? I often have document set pdf's that are 30" x 42" that I want to create a pdf on letter or tabloid size. I can print - so i'm not talking about that. I mean creating a new pdf where the new document size is letter or tabloid. There must be a way to have Adobe save out a new pdf with the pages scaled? HELP it's driving me crazy

Oops, I misread your question, so I edited my response.

How to change/crop to larger page size?

Hi,
I have the following script to loop through each page in a document, check if each page is A4 Portrait size, and if it is, change it to US Letter paper size:
//Change Portrait A4 Page Size to US Letter Size
//Values are in points and there are 72 points per inch
//Check if page is Portrait A4 size (if Yes, then crop to US Letter otherwise ignore)
for (var i=0; i<this.numPages;i++){
var rCrop = this.getPageBox("Crop",i);
if (this.getPageBox("Crop",i)[1]<842 && getPageBox("Crop",i)[1]>841 && getPageBox("Crop",i)[2]<596 &&
getPageBox("Crop",i)[2]>595){
rCrop[0] -= 8.28; // Adjust Left Side
rCrop[1] -= 24.84; // Adjust Top Side
rCrop[2] += 8.28; // Adjust Right Side
rCrop[3] += 24.84; // Adjust Bottom Side
this.setPageBoxes("Crop",i,i,rCrop);
The script crops the top and bottom of each page correctly, but only expands the width of the left and right sides on the first page. After doing some experiments it seems the script will crop pages to a smaller size but struggles to expand pages to a larger size (in converting from A4 to US Letter I need to crop top and bottom to smaller size, but expand left and right sides to larger size). I tried changing "Crop" to "Media" but this didn't help.
Any ideas?
Many thanks. HJ

The page size options are limited, but are in the crop tool. If there are no tags or other markup, you can also print to a new PDF and adjust the size in the printer interface -- sometimes the simplest method, but not normally recommended. The rotation can be done in the document menu and then saved. The rotation that is typically on the toolbar are only for the current view and does not save with the PDF. Many of these you can use a batch process to resolve (in AA8 that is under the Advanced>Document Processing). The better method is to setup your Adobe PDF printer to create the correct page size and orientation in the future. You can setup to typically expand to fit, select a paper size, and have the settings set to auto-rotate. The later is based on the text that is found on the page. The margin elimination is also part of the crop tool. Hopefully this at least gives you some things to look at. Unfortunately, the tools get moved around with every version, so you may have to search for the tools.

Crop to trim: Page size may not be reduced ERROR

I have a client wanting the complete back catalogue of his journal's hi-res PDFs supplied but without the trim marks, printer's info and bleed. This ought to be easy enough - Acrobat will trim a PDF for me and I can automate the process. Except that it won't. I go Documents > Crop Pages... and set all the options for cropping to the Trim Box, but nothing happens. If I try putting in the page size measurements manually, I get the error message 'Page size cannot be reduced'. Seeing as I've arrived via the Crop Pages option on the document menu I can't think I'm in the wrong place. Why won't Acrobat crop my pages?
I'm on Acrobat Pro 9 fully up to date on OS X 10.6.7

I have this exact same question. It simply won't crop.
Why is this bug not being fixed?

Changing the document page size after the fact.

Does anyone know of a way to change the page size globally after the fact?
I have sent a 200 page book created with Pages '08 to my printer. The work has a full bleed watermark in the background on a custom 7" X 11" document. I've just been informed that he needs to increase the paper size to 7.25 X 11.25 and have me increase the watermark so it can be trimmed down.
Is there a way to change all 200 pages or do I need to set-up a new document and do a whole lot of cut and paste?
Thanks in advance everyone.

Your problem is that the change is not proportional.
However it is not a great change, 6.66% at most. If you don't mind a subtle change in height vs width, just create a pdf of the entire document and tell the printer to change the size on going to plate.
Alternatively you can simply scale it up the 6.66% which will make the height about 0.5" too high and trim away the excess.
The other way is only scale it up 2.27% which gives you the right height but leaves you with 0.1" less width.
Or you can go in between and have a compromise for both directions by scaling up 4.4%.
It depends if you have white margins in either direction that can take up the slack and also how much bleed you have on the watermark. You only need 1/8" to cover any trimming errors.
As this appears to be quite a long book and would need to be imposed up in signatures, I would imagine the printer must have the necessary imposition software to allow for creep etc, which should also allow for non-symmetrical scaling.
Don't you Americans ever feel at moments like these that you wish you weren't the last people in the world to not use metrics and rational paper sizes?

How to resize existing magazine page size to 320x480

Hi
I would like to resize an existing magazine page to the size of an iPhone 320*480
When we set the page size of a new document (File-document-page size) we can change the width and the height.
But if I have to resize an existing magazine page in InDesign to iphone size, how do I do?
Also the text and the images should be placed correctly, and the page layout should look the same when i resize.
If I resize them and then export, the XML created should be the size of iPhone (this is what I want to achieve)
Is this possible?
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Hello Bob
Thanks for the quick reply!
Looks like it is possible but time consuming...
I was wondering if something could be done with help of the "master page"
If default settings are set to master page, can it be replicated to the
child master pages.
Not sure if I was clear in conveying.

How do I create a PDF document with multiple different page sizes?

I scan tif images and can have a single document with Letter, Legal, Tabloid, and even full map plan sizes (36" X 24") all in one document. I get the document all set, then do a: File, Print, choose Adobe PDF (running Acrobat XI Pro), but it converts all the pages in my tif file to a single size.
I've found where to set the size, but the problem is I have many different sizes. Is there a way to have the Adobe PDF printer, just use the original documents page sizes for each page when converting?

The program I use to create the TIF files (OpenText's eDOCS Imaging) does not make PDFs, it makes TIFs (and TIFFs). To then convert this, if I try to do it through Adobe directly, I get an error which prompts me to open it in the native program and to choose print and then select the adobe printer.
This works perfect if every page is the same size, but many times my documents have many different page sizes as well as portrait and landscape within the same document (but that is a separate option).
Doesn't Adobe have a "use the original page size / orientation" as an option when creating PDFs from existing documents?

Standardise page sizes in merged PDF?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to merge together a PowerPoint '07 and an Excel '07 file, both set to A4 lanscape page layouts, in Acrobat 9 Standard. However, in the final merged PDF, the old Excel pages are huge compared to the PowerPoint slides - about 6 times larger.
Any ideas how I can force Adobe output a merged PDF all in the same page size and orientation?
Thanks in advance,
Simon

Acrobat's combine feature to merge files into one PDF does not provide a page size "editor".
Likely a cleaner work flow if the input files had page size adjusted by their native application.
Once done, use combine to merge into the single PDF.
You may find this is (over all) easier than using the Crop Tool resize features.
To view any PDF's page size when open in Adobe Reader/Acrobat go into Preferences.
Select the Page Display catagory then tick the "Always show document page size" choice.
Be well

Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

Although the PDF spec mentions that it's feasible to create a PDF as large as 15,000,000 inches in either direction, 200 x 200 inches is Distiller’s limit for PostScript. It’s based on the Windows printer driver limitation.
If I read the quote below correctly, the maximum page size is 15 million inches (381 km).
"This is from the PDF Reference 1.6:
177. In PDF versions earlier than PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit is fixed at 172 inch. In Acrobat viewers earlier than version 4.0, the minimum allowed page size is 72 by 72 units in default user space (1 by 1 inch); the maximum is 3240 by 3240 units (45 by 45 inches). In Acrobat versions 5.0 and later, the minimum allowed page size is 3 by 3 units (approximately 0.04 by 0.04 inch); the maximum is 14,400 by 14,400 units (200 by 200 inches).
Beginning with PDF 1.6, the size of the default user space unit may be set with the UserUnit entry of the page dictionary. Acrobat 7.0 supports a maximum UserUnit value of 75,000, which gives a maximum page dimension of 15,000,000 inches (14,400 * 75,000 * 172). The minimum UserUnit value is 1.0 (the default)."

I am trying to convert a file in word file in A4 format to PDF with Acrobat.com.
I noticed that the resulting PDF file is produced in Legal page size.
Is there a way to change the PDF page size to A4?
Thanks all for your help, Simon

H Michelle
Had a phone call from a friend only today on that issue. He created a PageMaker document in A5 and it prints via Acrobat 7 (Distiller) to the default A4. Having used Acrobat since vers 2 I am familiar with Distiller Joboptions and sent him one for A5. Using InDesign this is not an issue since ID can pass the document size to Distiller.
It is an issue with Word 2007 where the Acrobat plugin prints to the default A4 regardless of the document size, unless the default Distiller joboption is changed. Ironically, given the attitude ot MS to PDF over the years, I was surprised to find that the MS Save-to-pdf extensions does in fact honour the Word document page size.
I presume the Acrobat.com conversion to PDF doesn't use the normal Distiller (a server-based converter?) but for non-US folk this behaviour reminds us oldies of the frustrating time when much software was limited to US Letter output. I was surprised that the output Simon reported was Legal rather than US Letter. Re-frying the PDF could fix the page size but in the process I doubt the original margins would be preserved. Printing US Letter PDFs to A4 and the converse usually requires the printer dialog setting Fit to printable margins and this will affect scaling and aspect ratios a little.
Hence I'm glad you will look at the problem though I don't personally need the PDF conversion facility.

Adjusting the page size in numbers on the ipad

I need to be able to adjust/set the page size for numbers documents on the ipad. Every time I export the numbers document from icloud as a pdf to a pc the spreadsheets are all over the place with page breaks in the wrong places. If i export as an excel I lose all formatting. I can't download as a numbers doc as the pc will not support it. Is there a way of setting and locking the document/page size with out going through the print option as i do not have an airprint printer and am not going to get one either!

I don't see a setting for page size. Everything else related to that (sans setting the page size) appears to be found here:
Click the wrench
Share & Print
Print
Select portrait/landscape, content size, page numbering, headers
Done (don't actually print it)
I wonder if you set the page size when you actually go to print it. I don't have a printer to try it on. Otherwise it looks like 8.5x11 is all you get.

Is there a way to adjust the Auto Page Size

Hi,
When selecting the "Auto" size option in the InDesign print dialog, it makes the page .6667" bigger than the document page size. I would like to adjust that amount to an even 1" bigger than the document page size. Is there a way to change this setting?
I understand I can create a custom page size for each document, but I rather just have the "Auto" option make the page size 1" bigger for printing.
Thanks,
Keith

You can set the size of the page's content section with the Inspector/Page/Layout pane:

Reader 9- Cant seem to keep ' Choose paper by PDF Page Size' uncheck -online doc

We have been looking at this for a long time. If a certain posted doc gets printed and the Choose paper by PDF Page Size is checked, it breaks the users profile. We have made that change on the doc before posting it but users still have the issue. Also we have had users make the change locally but it doesnt 'keep' the setting.
Is there a way (GP or script) to force at the user session level?
This has been killing us for months. My searches didnt yield any solutions either....

In order to get help you need to provide more detail about your settings. Perhaps the margins for the paper size you have chosen have print margins that leave a smaller print area than you think. In combination with this is there some sort of "scale to fit" set somewhere?
So what size paper are you printing to, and what is your document page size in Acrobat 7? I have the same printer and may be able to help if you provide more detail.
