How to size an image in pdf format?

I saw this done at a FedEx shop when they were printing a large image for me but I don't remember how it was done?

They selected a 'square' portion of the image, set the measurement for that square as 1 inch, and resized the whole image in proportion to that square.

Any thoughts? Thanks!

In the Print Production toolset, there is a Set Page Boxes command. I wonder if that is what they used. If you can describe more about what you needed/they did, it might be helpful. Was the page resized, or just an image on the page?

My best,

Hi Dave,

I was using their large format BW printer to print some D&D maps. The maps have a grid overlay I wanted to set the a single grid size to 1 square in., resizing the whole image in proportion. Hope that makes sense.

I converted the image to pdf format, it was the only thing in the file.

Thanks

Both?

The image was being resized and then printed at the new size. I'm sorry if that doesn't help:(

I don't believe there is any need to resize the original - as long as you are able to print to the needed size from Acrobat's super-flexible Print dialog box. I am hoping that merely printing to the appropriate physical size is a reasonable solution for you.

My best,

Dave
