Can I increase the format of my Adobe PDF file?

The printshop that will print my brochure has asked me if I can increase the format with 2mm on each side. So it will be 301x314mm instead of 297x310mm.

Since I do not have this file in Adobe Indesign, would it be possible to do this in Adobe Acrobat PDF?

You can increase the page size with the crop tool of Acrobat Pro.

Hi Bernd. Do you mean this one?
It increases my page size but the content doesn't increase with it, so it has white borders now and that is not my intention.

In this case scale the pages with the preflight tool of Acrobat DC Pro.

It depends on how the original file was created. You could try going to the Print Production tool in Adobe Acrobat and increasing the page boxes to see if it will reveal more artwork. There are four different page boxes that you can adjust. If that doesn't work, you could try opening the Edit PDF tool and manually modifying the objects. To be clear this is the hard way. Much easier in the source application.

Hi Chad. Thanks for the solutions. Print production tool doesn't increase the mm size of the PDF and manually modifying objects also doesn't work unfortunately.
