How to make combined pdf pages the same size.

I have combined several pages into one pdf Binder.  Although all the pages were built on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, inside the combined pdf they are different sizes on the scree.  How can I achieve continuity between all the page sizes?

Combining PDF files with Adobe Acrobat will not change the pages sizes.

I am using Acrobat XI, 11.0.7.

I combined several pdf files into one binder.  In the thumbnails column, the first page highlights blue around the entire page and that page is seen in full size to the right of the thumbnails column.  The second thumbnail highlights in blue around the entire page but has the black "viewing window" representing what is showing full size on the screen.

I have attached an image showing the difference between page one and two.  I would prefer to have the entire binder display pages in the same size.  All of these pages are 8.5 x 11 inches in physical form.

Hi everyone,

 

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro, I believe 9 or 10.  I received a document today in 2 pages that I need to combine into 1 page.  I believe the original page was bigger than a normal size piece of paper which is why I have 2 pages.  The problem is it cut the document in half and I need them side by side to be able to read the document.  I know I can use the vew menu and place them side by side but I also need to email this document out for other to read.  Can you help?

Open the PDF  then go into the PDF's Document Properties (Ctrl+D).
Select the Initial View tab.
For Page layout select two up facing.
Save As to PDF.

Now, each time the PDF is opened the two pages will display side by side.


Be well...
