Resize PDF to 8x8

[Jessica298641029emr]

I need to resize a 60-page PDF to 8x8 (book trim size). How can I do that?

What size is your book currently?

Thanks for responding! It's currently 8.5x11.

8x8 is square, 8.5x11 isn't. So that's a major problem. 

If you have access to Indesign, you could try to fix the PDF there, but basically, and assuming, that it has been designed for 8.5x11, I really would redo the book. Sorry for that. 

If you have, however, designed a 8x8 book, and there is just a lot of space around, you can crop to size.

That is potentially a big challenge. Do you want to 

- Add white space to make a big square (11 x 11) then scale down to 8 x 8?

- Chop off text and everything from the page (0.5 inches from the width, 3 inches from the height)

- Scale "non proportionally" so the text becomes super narrow, scaling height a little and width a lot?

- Lay the book out again, making more pages and flowing to fit?

- Something else?
