Can I resize PDF Dimensions?

Hello,

If I open a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro can I resize the dimensions of that PDF?

Furthermore, Adobe Acrobat Pro really isn't a software that allows me to create from scratch, is it? Rather, it's a conversion tool. Am I correct?

Thanks

I believe this option is available as a part of the Preflight tool in Acrobat DC. For earlier versions it requires using a script (such as this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Scale PDF Pages ), a plugin (like QuiteImposing) or to "re-fry" the file (ie, sending it to the Adobe PDF printer specifying a new page size).


And yes, you're basically correct. Acrobat is not meant for creating PDF files from scratch (although it can do it), but to convert existing files to PDF and then edit them in various ways.
