Resizing a document when making a pdf

Question

How do I resize a document that is originally 11X17 to be 8.5 X 11 (similar to "print to fit") when I am exporting an InDesign document to PDF?
When I used Quark, I created pdf's by going through the print window and was able to downsize my document to fit 8.5 X 11 paper.
Is there a way to do that with InDesign?

Answer 1

I do have Acrobat installed. I know how to use Distiller (the old fashioned way).
I know how to create pdfs through the print window, as I said, this is the way I created pdfs from my Quark documents...I just do not have this option in the current version of InDesign. I switched from Quark because I wanted to "upgrade" because I thought InDesign would be more efficient.
But as with any change of system/software/procedure, there's always kinks to work through and this is one that's giving me grey hairs.
I have a 24 page newspaper that I upload to our website but the general public usually doesn't have access to a printer that can print 11X17 pages. Also, a smaller physically sized document takes up less space on the web server. Therefore, I need to find a way to change the size of the document in a way that is not more time consuming than it used to be. Otherwise, I might have to consider switching back to Quark which would be unfortunate because I really like InDesign.
