Changing Paper Size in the Standard DC Version

I'm working on a project where one of my pages is a different size than the others. In Adobe Acrobat X, I'd go to Crop Pages and could change the paper size in the Set Page Boxes, but in Standard DC the Set Page Boxes doesn't allow you to change the paper size. Where can I go to do this?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting the screen shot. Unfortunately with my program, I only have the Page Boxes and Page Range sections. I don't have the Change Paper Size section in the Set Page Boxes at all. I'm using the Standard DC - do you think this is why? It seems like such a basic function that it's hard to believe it wouldn't be available with the Standard version.

I'm sure that's why (I don't have Standard to check though). This is a pretty advanced action, I'd say. Most people just find they can't work out how to change page size, and don't, even with Pro...

It is possible with Acrobat Pro

This should be identical (but now under Organize pages). To increase the page size you need to use Set Page Size, while to decrease it you use Crop. Not the least bit obvious, for sure.

Thanks for your quick reply. I looked under Organize Pages but didn't see "Set Page Size". I did see "Set Page Boxes" under More, but that didn't have a spot for changing a non-letter size page to letter size. I must be missing something, but I'm not sure what. Any thoughts?

Set page boxes is what Adobe call the tool today. Look at this screen shot, in the cyan box:


Again, sorry, but when I clicked on the "Page Sizes" dropdown next to "Fixed Sizes," all the options were grayed out. After I chose "Custom" and changed the Width & Height of the page and clicked "OK" it returned an error stating that "Page size cannot be reduced."
