How do I change the page size of a pdf?

I'm trying to send a manuscript to a printing service in another city. It was produced using Microsoft Publisher. In Acrobat Pro I changed the page size from the default (8 1/2" x 11") to the size of my finished document --- 7.8" x 10". Yet when I send the manuscript to the printer it's still the larger size. I've tried right-clicking on the pdf printer and changing to a close approximation (7.5" by 10"), which is listed as one of the available alternatives, but it won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

There's no real need to do that. A PDF can have pages of different sizes.

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

How can I change the page size of a pdf so i can view it on my iphone more clearly?

I think there may be more to this question than you say.
If your PDF page is say, 8 x 12 inches, and you found a way to scale it to 25%, changing it to 2 x 3 inch, shrinking everything on the page to quarter size - wouldn't it look exactly the same on the iPhone? It's just going to be the same as zooming.
Or were you hoping for something more like in Word, where changing the page size keeps everything the same size and spreads it over more pages? That isn't something you can do.

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?

How can I change the page size of a scanned PDF document?
I scanned a 50-page document with an HP 5610xi All-In-One using the software that comes with it: HP Scan Pro. Though the physical document has standard 8.5" x 11" pages, the PDF resulting from scanning has page size set to 35.42 × 48.67 inches (according to Preview's "Tools > Inspector". I want to resize the pages to 8.5" x 11". Shouldn't Preview be able to do that with "Tools > Adjust Size..."? When I try, the menu option is grey so I can't select it.
I'm using Preview Version 4.2.

Thanks for the insight; that explains why it's the wrong size. I selected 300dpi scanning (which is the default, actually), but HP Scan Pro evidently created a PDF with 72dpi indicated. I want it fixed because I want to distribute the file to other people and have them able to print or display it without problems.
I still don't know why Preview won't let me change it, but your question about whether I wanted to print it did lead me to find a workaround: "File > Print" and "Save as PDF..." saved it with the correct page size.

I want to make 4x6 study notecard/flashcards, how do I change the page size to fit the cards I need, I want them to print on a standard size paper, but keep the text in a 4x6 margin, new to mac please help!!

The Idea is to set my paper size and page layout to a pre-screened 4x6 layout, which I can add and insert txt/pictures, when I need to print, I should be able to fit 2 per page, if not that's okay, but when I print them I will cut off the excess paper and glue the rest to a notecard, any ideas, NEW TO MAC PAgES

Star with:
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > Sidebar > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas
If you need to have two cards on one page then just set up one using text boxes and images to the 4 x 6 (inches?), group them and option shift drag a second copy down the page so you then have 2 and alter the copy as you need.
Change the text and images to placeholders, capture those as a Layout and then save that as a template.

1. To make the individual card follow the instructions for Labels & Business cards but use your size:
2. To make the placeholders see Double folded Greeting Card.
3. To make the template follow Letterhead and follower sets ignoring the irrelevant bits, and only capturing one page, before saving as a template.

How can I change the page size in an existing layout?

I have an 8.5x11 layout that I need to change to 8x10 without starting over again… Help?

If you just need to change the size of the page, go to File > Document Setup
Check out the Layout Adjustment feature as well -- it will make things
that are close to margins cling to the margins if the doc is resized.
But if you want to simply scale the entire document and everything
that's in it to the new size, check out:

How do I shrink the page size of a PDF when printing?

I opened up a PDF and it opened in Preview and i need to print the page of the pdf but shrink it so it takes up 1/4 of the page and it has to be in the corner. What do I do?

Use Adobe Reader
File > Print...
> Pages: (page number)
> Multiple > Pages per sheet 2 x 2
You need to print one page at a time.

How do I change the text size in a PDF fillable form in Preview?

I'm trying to fill out a PDF form I downloaded from my bank and would like to use Preview to fill out the form. No problem typing in each field until I got to where it asks for my e-mail address. My e-mail is too long for the form's provided area and I'd like to reduce the text I'm inputting into that field so it can fit. Before I do it with PhotoShop or just and inkpen, does anyone know of a way to selectivly reduce the font size of the text for a too-tiny-field? I've tried to open the fonts menu but it does not seem related to the fillable text field.

Whilst in the Preview application, press "Shift - Command - A" (⇧⌘A) simultaneously to show the markup toolbar, or click View, and select "show markup toolbar". There is an icon "A" near the right hand side of the now visible markup toolbar, click this icon to reveal all the font options.

How do I change the paper size in an existing Pages document?

How do I change the paper size on an existing Pages document?

So are your text box set to floating? You can tell that by looking in the Inspector>Wrap Tab when you select the text box.
If I had to guess I would say that the text boxes are floating and when you change the size of paper the text that you have in the main body area is shrinking so that it does require as many pages and you are losing the text boxes at the end. Is that correct? If so, they are still there, you just have to add page breaks to get to the pages that you lost and you should see them again.

How to change the page size of a replicated container?

Hi, I would like to change the page size of dbxml 2.3.10.10 containers in a replicated environment.
This is what I tried so far:
1) dbxml_dump/dbxml_load (bot utils not usable in a replicated environment)
2) db_dump/db_load. db_dump works fine. db_load seems to work fine, since it succesfully creates a database/container from a dump file. But it does not correctly initialise the internal dbxml structures since the database/container can not be opened, although getContainers works...
Besides writing my own dump/load clients, is there any other option to change the page size of an existing container?
Regards,
Jacobus Geluk

Hi George,
dbxml_dump seems to work fine, but ends with this message:
DATA=END
dbxml_dump: Non-replication DB_ENV handle attempting to modify a replicated environment
dbxml_dump: dump <container name>.dbxml: Error: Unexpected error opening Configuration DB
dbxml_load more or less has the same error...
I am currently writing a little Java program that simply dumps all XML documents of all containers in a directory structure...
That would work as long as the file system can handle it...
I suppose dbxml_dump/load could be made to work quite easily by just copying their sources and specifiying the replication settings...
All utilities that cause log activity, that currently do not support replicated environments, should support replicated environments that simply use the default replication transport mechanism. With some additional command line options like --sites it would work...
Regards,
Jacobus

How do I change the font size of a document when I PRINT?

How to I change the font size of a document when I print it?

To specifically and fully answer your question, no, you absolutely cannot change the “font size” as a function of print.
First of all, there isn't a single “font size” associated with a PDF file (and we assume you are referring to a PDF file since this is an Acrobat forum).
Secondly, PDF is a final form file format meaning that the content is static in terms of location, size, etc. on the page. To change the point size of any particular text, you really need to go back to the source document and make the changes there.

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.
