I have combined several pages into one pdf Binder. Although all the pages were built on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, inside the combined pdf they are different sizes on the scree. How can I achieve continuity between all the page sizes?
Print to Adobe PDF with "fit" (uncheck from "actual size") in print settings.
You can do this with Acrobat Pro.
Go to Tools> Print Production> Prefilght> FixUps (blue wrench icon)> Pages.
Select Scale pages to specified size
Go to the little fly-out menu and duplicate the prefilght, give it a new name.
Click on Edit, to change the desired final trim size and the method used to get to this size (scale, white border, etc.)
Click on Fix to apply the change.

You can select one of the existing preflights, duplicate it, and edit it to make it do what you need.

Excellent response, thanks so much. I had to change it to 'Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles' menu at the top centre (green library icon) to find the Scale pages option.
So happy this worked 🙂

What version of Acrobat do you have?

I assume I have the latest version, I downloaded it from Creative Cloud
last week.
How do I duplicate one of the page fixes as you suggested above (so that I
can make it do what I want it to do)

okay, I duplicated and instructed a 6 x 9 page size and then applied it to
all pages and it did not work. In the case of one page out of the 100, it
shrunk the page to 4 x 6 ... other pages are still uneven .... so ... ????

I agree that this is ridiculous! I am finding none of the recommended options (when I switch to Adobe Acrobat DC 2015 Profiles, I only have two "scale" options--they only related to A4 sizing and I don't see how to edit them). I have to turn to Mac Preview to do this every time I need to, and I lose my bookmarks--I want to scream!!!! This is such a simple file manipulation, I don't see why it's not more of a priority.

I finally found instructions on where to find more scaling options here: RESIZE PDF . It is still WAY too complicated. I'm begging for a better solution!!

Goodness why don't they just have a tab for that?!

I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!! For anyone whom the above does not work for....
I too have spent hours on this over the past 2 years scouring the internet for a solution to this annoying situation. Using the suggestions above with regards to going to Print and then selecting 'Print to Adobe PDF' (did not work for me, said 'invalid parameter??) I have tried a few other things and found one that works!
Go to Print and selected 'MICROSOFT PRINT TO PDF', save with a new file name. Then open it and TA-DA!!!!
Hope this works for you too!

Thanks, that worked for me. I had 2 A4 pages that were showing different widths when I combined them in a single pdf.
It's fixed now. When you choose 'MICROSOFT PRINT TO PDF, make sure you click to select SHRINK OVERSIZED PAGES. It's on the PAPER SIZING AND HANDLING section of the print box.

How the hell to go from print to save?? Sorry I do this like once every few years. I don't want to freaking print the 300 plus pages I just want the digital version all the same size.

I do this on my laptop, which is not connected to any printers. Select Print and then it will open a Save page. From then, just choose the folder you want to save the pdf, rename and done.

What OS? macOS is different from Windows OS.

Cool thanks!!!
That worked pretty good. It placed it page on a visible white background but still that's a lot better than every page a completely different size
Thanks again for sharing!!!
