How do I adjust the size of an Adobe PDF document?

Question

Hello,I am an illustrator and am needing to adjust the size of a PDF (book cover) in Adobe DC.I am able to open the drawing in Photoshop, adjust the image to the appropriate size and save it as a PDF. However, when I open the PDF in Adobe DC, the size of the image has changed to 11.0 x 8.5.I am trying to submit this cover to Kindle Direct Publishing and a regular Adobe PDF is the required file type. How do I open this PDF and change the size to the necessay dimenstions of 17.351 x 8.750?Thank you.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you want to customize the PDF page size to 17.351 x 8.750

Please try the steps below:

- Open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat DC

- Go to Print > Select Adobe PDF in the Printer list.

- Click on 'Properties' tab

- Under 'Adobe PDF settings', click 'Add' Next to Adobe PDF page size and enter the page dimension and the units and save the setting with a new page name so that you can recognize it after words and click on Add/modify and click OK to exit the window.

- In the Print window of Acrobat DC Click on 'Page Setup' in the lower left corner and from the size dropdown list locate your settings page (The one that you named earlier) and click OK and print

- It will recreate the PDF with the custom page size.

Please follow the pointers in the screenshot below:
