You are correct, that preflight appears to be broken. If you use the "Page size is equal to" prefilght, and click the edit button, you can change "equal to" to "unequal to" and include the expected page size. I tested a PDF with one odd size page and it returned a result listing the odd page.

Do you have Acrobat Pro? if so you can go to Tools> Print Production> Preflight> Checks (magnifying glass icon) and select "Orientation and size with 2pt tolerance is equal for all pages" then click the Analyze button. Or you could also use the "Page size is equal to the specified size" preflight check.

Hi Luke, I had same problem here. I'm tring to upload pdf on Lulu.com and all pages need to be 8.5x11. I was told pages in diffrent size of pdf file. So I need to figure out which pages are NOT in letter size. I downloaded Adobe Pro on my computer and follow your steps....Screen Shot 2019-12-13 at 23.25.41.png

I can't find Checks (magnifying glass icon) you mentioned. Does it because I'm on free trial so far? 

Thank you very much!

Hi Wei,

 

I know this is 4 years after your post, but I thought I'd mention this in case it's helpful to you or someone else. I use Acrobat Pro, and I don't think that "Page size is equal to" check exists anymore. I need all my pdf pages to be the same size in a given document for print production, and so I often need to find which pages in a large document differ from the required size.

 

You can create a new check that does what Luke showed above; you just have to be more specific than "page size."  Create a new check, select Pages under "Group," under "Property" you can choose from Size of TrimBox (or any of the other page boxes), then follow Luke's helpful instructions above to change "equal to" to "unequal to" and include the expected page size. 

 

I just used TrimBox and haven't tried any of the others because it does just what I need.
