Hi,

I have a huge pdf file where each page is half an a4 page.

I need to make each page the size of an A4 page, but also stretch whatever is on the page to 'fit' the new A4 page instead of just having extra white boarders all around the information.

Is this possible?

Kind Regards,

Nathan

How can a PDF auto fit any paper size?

You will find a "Fit to paper"* or a "Fit to sheet"* option in the print dialog box.

A Kindle don't care about the page size, as all screen readers it just require a tagged (so really responsive) PDF document for the best user experience.

* I'm not sure about the proper translation in English language

Hi.

I need to make each page the size of an A4 page,

Since a PDF page can automatically fit any screen size and any paper size, the right question is: why?

I dont have Acrobat DC, I have XI Pro. I'm not buying another version.

How can a PDF auto fit any paper size? I have a pdf that was originally A4 size, I have a script that cut each page in half (horizontally). Now I want to make each half a full A4 page and stretch it across the page. My thinking is that I can make a PDF more readable on a kindle.

It is possible with the preflight tool of Adobe Acrobat DC Pro.
