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.

  • 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?

  • Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

    Nichelle,
    You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
    Insert > Shape > Rectangle
    In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
    In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
    Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
    Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
    Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

  • How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

    I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

    Hi again Tony,
                I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
    I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

  • How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window?

    Hi champs,
    Just a simple non-technical question: How to change the default window size display font size on Lync 2013 main window on Windows 7 desktop?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Did you mean change the Lync: Change the Default Font and Color of Instant Messages just as Edwin said above?
    If not, as I know, there is no natural way to change it.
    If yes, on the latest version of Lync 2013 client, there is a new option “IM” on Lync client “Options” list. And you need to change the default Font and Color of IM in the interface of “IM”.

  • How to change the document type while creating a PO by ME59N

    Hi,
    I  have 2 groups of PR's, for group one the document type is picked as NB and PO is created and for the group 2 it should pick as XYZ and PO should be created using ME59N tcode.
    How to change the document type for group 2 in ME59N? Which user exists to use to change the document type while creating PO in ME59N? 
    Can any one suggest me.

    Hi,
    There a config area, where you can define default PO doc types for a particular Pr doc type. If you maintain the settings properly there, then your requirement can be fulfilled.
    SPRO->IMG->MM->Purchasing->Purchase requisation->Define doc types.
    This will serve your purpose.

  • How to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK)?

    Kindly advice me how to change the document color mode(RGB to CMYK) via scripting in "illustrator cs3".
    Thanks.

    Somebody wrote and posted this a couple of years ago.
    // Duplicate the selection from the active document into a new document.
    // To invoke the JavaScript debugger, remove comment delimiters
    //$.level = 1; debugger;
    var newItem;
    var docSelected = app.activeDocument.selection;
    if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
    // Create a new document and move the selected items to it.
    var newDoc = app.documents.add();
    if ( docSelected.length > 0 ) {
    for ( i = 0; i < docSelected.length; i++ ) {
    docSelected[i].selected = false;

    newItem = docSelected.parent.duplicate( newDoc,

    else {
    alert( "Please select one or more art objects" );
    It should give some ideas about how to proceed.

  • How to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site

    hi
    I have to change the master page and theme dynamically in sharepoint2013 anonymous site. i have to show one master page to authenticated user  another master page to anonymous user through code
    Srinivas

    Hi Srinivas,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the master page and theme dynamically based on the anonymous users or authenticated users.
    Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to change the master page and theme dynamically.
    SharePoint is based on Asp.net, as we know Asp.Net request processing is based on pipeline model, so we can delevlop a custom HttpModule to dynamic change the master page based on current logon user profile(using SP Object Model to get).
    Another solution could be to use the SecurityTrimmed control that injects the CSS depending on global user permissions, more information, please refer to
    it.

  • How to change the web page title of a web dynpro app?

    Hello,
    I would like to change the HTML page title of a web dynpro application without renaming the application component itself - but how?
    Thanks for your comments!

    Hi M Walter,
    Assuming you are using Web Dynpro Java, you can change the title of the Web Page for Web Dynpro App by adding the title to the main window of your app.
    Go to Windows and open the properties. There will be a field called 'title'. Give the title you want, save, build, DC->Build and deploy.
    The title you gave to this Window will be displayed as the title of your Web page.
    Regards,

  • How to change the default font size in X11?

    I was a PC/linux user and have switched to use Mac lately (MBP Snow leopard 10.6.8).
    Everything's been running perfectly on Mac so far and I really like it, until I have to run some programs on XQuartz/X11 (XQuart 2.7.0).  
    The default font size in the Xterm is too small. And I hate it that I have to change it everytime i open a new terminal (via vt fonts menu, ctrl+right-mouse click).
    Is there a way to change the default font size "permanently" in XQuartz/X11 ??
    This may be a stupid question to ask in the developer forum but i cant really solve it.
    There's only config. file ~/.Xdefaults they have mentioned so far on Google but i really cant find it regarding to the directorty.
    Thank you very much in advance.

    You would be surprised to find out that is not like this, to get your account blocked you really need to do a lot of damage and posts are not removed unless they are illegal, and *always* it needs more than a person to delete something. That's a site managed by the community, not by some people put in place by a company.
    It is always acceptable to link to external resources as long these resources do provide additional usefull information. Clearly the thread on that side contained much more information than the one here. I observed people linking from there to this forum, but it's not so common, and that's not due to the policy, just because here is more chat and less usefull information.... you will not see endless threads of replies on with "yes, I have the same problem" there.
    Shortly, this is "discussions" and is quite different in approach than the SE model, where everythign is aimed towards getting the be answers UP and removing all the nonsense.
    I wish that Apple would invest more in discussion, and going towards making this more practical.
