Different sized PDF pages

Community Beginner ,
Apr 20, 2011 Apr 20, 2011

I am assembling a PDF document from PDF's I have downloaded from a manufacturer's web site.  When I insert a page into my master document it appears much larger/smaller than the master even though they both say they are the same size percentage wise. From everything I have read here there is Not a (make all pages the same size) function in Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0.  I looked at another discussion and was unable to get what they described to work for me.  I will say I am a noob with Acrobat having worked with it for only a month or so and am not familiar with all of the toys at my disposel.

Thanks

You can play around with the crop tool.

Select the entire page, double click on the area and work in the "Change Paper Size" area. You should be able to set a custom size there.

So the "view" percentage is the same? If so, I would bet they are actually different page sizes.

If you mouse over the bottom left corner of the different pages, what size does it give you?

Thank you for your response, you are correct my master is smaller than the page I wanted to insert.  Now the next question is: how do I either  make the larger page smaller, or vice-versa?  That is not self evident to me.

Thanks

PS:  I recieved your email, however I have an older version of Outlook here and it informs me of your email, but I don't see any text.  Unfortunately I am at the bottom of the pile and will not be upgraded in the forseeable juture.

Thanks again, I made the smaller page bigger and it worked.  Although I believe making the bigger page smaller is the way to go.  *sigh* now I have a lot of manuals I have already done that need page resizing.

Have a good one

You should open your own thread with all the info that is needed (software version, OS etc), including a problem description, instead of reacting to a 2011 post. There is a big chance that part of the solution will work in today's software differently. But if you want to reference this thread (it has its merits after all), you should link to it and say what exactly you tried, and what exactly does not work.

 

(I will lock this thread now, feel free to open a new one with your problem description.)
