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!!

does not help. I can't crop every page...is there a way to simply scale the file size? This seems very basic, but I can't find it anywhere!

We need a bit more information. What are you trying to accomplish? Have you tried the rescale func I mentioned above?

If you're interested I've developed a tool that allows you to do it quite easily: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Scale PDF Pages

I'm commisserating with you, Donald. I don't want to process hundreds of pages of a PDF by resizing each one individually. This is a serious flaw in Acrobat's design/tool set.

Follow these steps in Adobe Acrobat:
1. Tools
2. Organize Pages
3. Right click first page
4. Crop Pages
5. Apply edits in "Change Page Size" and/or "Page Range" boxes

Appreciate the idea, but it gave me (and others) an error message of "Cannot change page size."

The only thing that worked for me was to export the file to Adobe and check "fitted" in the print size.

Wouldn't you think Adobe of all companies would have a simple way to scale all pages in a document to a uniform size by now?

It is possible with Adobe Acrobat DC Pro.

I have Adobe Acrobat DC Pro Bernd. I am yet to find the function.
It should be availabe in 3 clicks. It is not.
It's not rocket science.

"Apply edits in "Change Page Size" and/or "Page Range" boxes" only works if you are increasing the size of the paper.

That is from 2017...Here we are in 2022 and this is still a problem. How is it Adobe cannot figure out how to scale and resize pages?

In Adobe Acrobat DC Pro use the Preflight Tool to scale the pages.

Thanks, I think. I was able to get that to work but man, that is some incomprehensible UI with multiuple confusing steps. Is this really the best Adobe can come up with for a function that seems like it should be easy? This should be acomplished in a few intuitive clicks.
You can also print the document to a pdf and it give you the option to scale that too. But its a clunky work around.
