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?

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.

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.

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.

How can i change the size of PDF files ?

how can i change the size of PDF files? when i convert documents in the acrobat browser it seems the files become larger then normal pdf files, this is, i compare with other files that people send to me and i realise that they are smaller than my converted files, even if they have more pages.

A lot depends on the form of the PDF. Is it graphics, a scan of a text file, pure text, or other? What version of Acrobat are you working with.
You can do a save as to get a WORD file, but do not expect great results. The ability to get a decent WORD file depends on what the form of PDF you are working from. If it was created from WORD with tags and all, you might get good results. If not, you might get a lot of messed up results.
Explain what you are starting with and your ultimate goal. Also check the audit of the file (should be under PDF Optimize) to see where the file information is concentrated (text, fonts, graphics, other).

HT2523 how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste

how can i change the size of the picture i have copied and paste

If this question is about TextEdit, I don't think you can do it in TextEdit, after pasting the image. TextEdit is meant to be a basic text editing program.
You will have to open the image file in an image editing application. You can use Preview for doing this, or something more fancy. If it's Preview, just open the image file. From the menu bar, under Tools, select Adjust Size. Make the image the desired size. Then, select (outline) the portion of the image you want in the Preview document window. Copy it, and paste it into the TextEdit document window.

How can you move the orientaion of the left side menus so that they sit above a document when using word. If you have a single document open you tend to place it in the centre of the screen and the drop down menus are so far away.

I don't know of a way to change the size of the menu bar.
For the other, take a look at Menu Pop. I don't know anything about it. Just happened across it the other day.

How do I change text size in auto-page tabs

Now I'm trying to make the page tabs fit across my page. I've got several pages and will probably have more. I don't want all of them on the bar as they'll be linked in my text. I would also like to make the text smaller and maybe reformat to another font or style.
I don't find anything on this but maybe I'm not searching the right terminology.

You're referring to the navbar. You can remove any page from the navbar by going to the Inspector/Page/Page pane while viewing the page and unchecking the box to include that page in the navbar:
To change the font size of the navbar text see this post by Cyclosaurus: How do you change the size and font of...: Apple Support Communities.
Wyodor also posted a way to change the font size: Darkroom Navigation Font Size: Apple Support Communities.
If you only have a couple of pages you can create your own text based navbar and complete control over the font, size, rollover color, etc. This demo page has an example: Text Based Navbar. Be sure to use Web Safe Fonts.

How do you change the size of pictures?

Hello,
I'm a new Mac user. How do you change the size of pictures in iPhoto? Sometimes when sending e-mails, the picture files are extremely large and take a long time to load... Is there any way you can make the picture or file smaller? Like on a PC, you can open the photo in the Paint program and just reduce the size... Is there anything like this for the Mac?
Thanks!

Assuming that you're accessing your email package from INSIDE iPhoto, you're given a choice of picture sizes. Personally, I've found "medium" to be a good compromise but you might prefer "small" (iPhoto will tell you the file size).
If you don't know what I'm talking about, first go iPhoto Preferences > General and select your email client. Then, go to the View menu and select Show in Toolbar > Email.

How can I change to size of a book and keep all the layouts I have created?

How can I change the size of a book and use the layout that I have already chosen (I accidently laid the book out for a larger size book than what I acctually wanted)?

Just in case of problems duplicate the book (select it and edit ==> duplicate or Command=D) and then click on themes and select the same theme in theprper size - verify that everything worked (sometime different sized text blocks cause minor problems that require attention) and preview it -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
then order

How do I change text size in a check box in CS3

How do I change text size in a check box in CS3?

While I've never done it myself for a checkbox, components
have a textField property which is essentially the texfield inside
the component. You probably need to apply a TextFormat to it to
change the size.
But if this involves the same problem you had yesterday,
where you couldn't change the width of the checkbox, I doubt you'll
have much luck changing the text size

How do I change the size of the tools and the text for the menus in Photoshop? I need a magnifying glass in order to make out what they are.

In MAC, I want to change document size from 8.5X11 to 18X24 to create a poster to print through Staples. I created the doc originally in WORD, changed the size in WORD, converted to PDF doc. 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.
