Resize PDF

No. A page’s content is never cropped or stretched: the whole of it is scaled to fit the new paper, keeping its proportions, and centred there. When the new paper is a different shape, the space left at the sides or at the top and bottom takes the page’s background colour. To cut margins away instead, use Crop PDF.

A4, A5, A3, Letter, Legal and Tabloid are one click away. More paper sizes lists over 160 more — every ISO A, B and C size, RA and SRA, North American office papers, ANSI and architectural sheets, Japanese JIS B and Chinese K sizes, envelopes, photo prints and posters, business cards and squares, book trims, newspapers and slides — searchable by name or by size. Or type any width and height in inches from half an inch up. A named size follows each page’s own orientation, so a landscape page stays landscape; swap the width and height to turn the paper the other way.

Yes. Select pages by clicking their thumbnails, Shift-clicking a run, or typing a range like 2-5 or a list like 1,4,9 in the Pages field, and the paper, background and rotation then change only those pages. With nothing selected they change every page.

The colour you pick is painted under everything on the page, so text and pictures stay on top of it, and it fills the margins a new size leaves too. If the file already paints its own background, that background is recoloured where the file draws it, and choosing None removes it.

Yes. Links, comments and form fields are moved and scaled with the page’s content, so each one still sits on what it belongs to.

Yes. The resized PDF is rebuilt on our server, the same way the editor saves a page you resized there, so this file is sent over an encrypted connection and the copy there is deleted as soon as the result is sent back. It takes files up to 25 MB.

It does the same job with the same writer: a page size, background and rotation set here come out exactly as they would from Edit PDF’s Page tool. Open the editor when you also want to change what is on the page.
