Under edit PDF find the crop tool. Draw a box around your page, doesn't matter what size, and hit enter. In the dialog box that opens on the bottom left is Change Page Size. Select custom and change the page to the size you desire.

Here is infornation about how to use Preflight in Acrobat DC Pro to scale pages: Scaling Page Content in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC - KHKonsulting LLC

To use the crop tool, you need to use two steps: you have to enlarge the page first and the crop it down to the target size. The problem is that Letter is wider, but shorter than A4, the change page size only works if both new sided are at least the original size, in this case, one side would be smaller. In the first step, you size the pages to the heig

I'm never sure why Adobe never tells you how to do this since it's right in the application. Use the Print Production tool. Click that, then click Preflight. Under the Profiles tab, be sure you're toggled to Pages. Now here's the trick - you'll see 3 little icons next to the Show All tab. Click the Wrench!! Scroll down and you'll see "Scale pages to specified size (Scales all pages of the PDF proportionally to entered value (fit from the inside and add white space)." 
Click on the Edit flag. In

Turtle, the question was asked in 2016 and I replied in 2018. Bernd's fix below is updated in May 2020 and it works.

You can also open this in Preview on a Mac, or another basic PDF application, where you will get the option to print to PDF. Scales everything down automatically.

Thanks, this is very helpful! I just want to make a small but very important amendment: it's true that there's no "scale page" option in the versions after 2019. But, you can choose the "adobe pro DC 2015 profiles" from the dropdown menu at the top. Problem solved!

This is going to sound odd, but you can do it in Microsoft Word.  Copy the image from Acrobat and paste into a Word document set up for A4 sizing. Then F12 (save-as) and save as a PDF. Then re-insert/combine into your original PDF.  Absurd that Microsoft Word can do it but Acrobat can't, but here we are. 

Sometimes you can go to tools > organize & then right click > crop pages, but it usually brings up a "Cannot resize page" error. 

And before one of the "experts" chimes in with the preflight option for the 15th time in this thread, it doesn't work for what most of us are trying to do, which is edit individual pages from a multi-page document.

The Set page size will open up, enabling you to resize PDF to A4. Scroll to the "<>" icon on the bottom of the pop-up window, and then under the “Change Page Size” tab, select the “Page Sizes” box and choose “A4” page size.

Hello,

This may be too little too late, but have you considered just using Acrobat's PDF printing feature? I literally just opened my PDF with pages that are off from the traditional letter size, and wanted to turn them into letter size. Switched my printer to "Adobe PDF," and set the page sizes and handling section to "fit." In page setup, I selected letter. Easy peasy, my PDF document pages are now all letter size. I suspect this would also work to go from letter to A4.

The easiest way I've found is to print it, select printer properties and choose A4 and it will automatically resize the page to the correct values.

Super simple... Choose organize pages then in the menu bar click the 'more' drop down. Choose 'set page boxes'. Next screen at the bottom left choose 'fixed page sizes' & choose your page size. Click ok and your done. I just did this easily for a scanned document to make them all a uniform A4 size.  🙂
