Force pages to be letter sized?

Question

I scanned images and created a PDF, they are all slightly different sizes. How do I force Acrobat to use a standard page background, such as 8.5x11 ofr every page and just have the one image appear on the page?

Thanks

You can use the Scale Pages command under the Preflight tool (Acrobat Pro only!) to change the size of all the pages to a uniform value.

If the images are of different sizes, the PDFs will reflect that. In Acrobat, what you give is what you get.

Personally, I think the easiest way to do that is to use Adobe Bridge (It's free, even without an Adobe subscription, but you do need to have an Adobe registered username, which you do from Acrobat.

Bridge is more a viewer than an application, so you do not need to import images into it. Have your images in a folder and open that folder in Bridge. Select the "Output" Workspace. On the right panel, at the top, select the page kind (in your case, "letter"). In Grid and Margins, be sure to select "1" for Columns and Rows. As far as the rest of the options, I think they are pretty obvious. Once all of your decisions are made, click the "Export to PDF" button on the bottom right.
