To just change the size of the page without scaling the content, you can use the crop tool, which allows you to either crop down to a smaller size, or change the page size to a larger page size.

If you want to scale, if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, you can actually do this in Acrobat without the need for any other software: The "Preflight" tool contains a profile that resizes all pages to a specified size:

Once you click on the "Fix" button at the bottom of the dialog, you will be prompted for a page size (which you have to specify in millimeters), and then all pages will get scaled to that size.

Acrobat Standard does not have the preflight tool.

THANK YOU for the crop page tip that allowed me to add to page size without scaling content.

I am really finding this beyond frustrating. It's bad enough it's so complicated but when 99% of the past explanations do not align with the menu now it's just a spiral of bad uses of time. I want my documents all in letter size. Print to PDF is not appearing in the options on my mac. Preflght (or whatever) does not have the options above and was hidden in "more tools" ... seriously folks--please take your users' experience more seriously. Sometimes we have to do one-off tasks and this makes it miserable

Use the library "Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles".

I don't see the "Scale pages to specified size" option on Acrobat Pro DC, only "Scale pages to A4" and "Scale pages to A4 if not larger A3". Is that profile available to download somewhere?

Use the preflight tool of Acrobat Pro DC.

Do you mean scale the pages? This is not really an option in Acrobat. In Windows it can be done by sending the file to the Adobe PDF virtual printer with the new page size, but that option is not available on a Mac. It might be possible using the Preflight tool, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

The other option is to use a script, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Scale PDF Pages
