How to make combined pdf pages the same size.

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?

Combining PDF files with Adobe Acrobat will not change the pages sizes.

I am using Acrobat XI, 11.0.7.

I combined several pdf files into one binder.  In the thumbnails column, the first page highlights blue around the entire page and that page is seen in full size to the right of the thumbnails column.  The second thumbnail highlights in blue around the entire page but has the black "viewing window" representing what is showing full size on the screen.

I have attached an image showing the difference between page one and two.  I would prefer to have the entire binder display pages in the same size.  All of these pages are 8.5 x 11 inches in physical form.

Hi everyone,

 

I have Adobe Acrobat Pro, I believe 9 or 10.  I received a document today in 2 pages that I need to combine into 1 page.  I believe the original page was bigger than a normal size piece of paper which is why I have 2 pages.  The problem is it cut the document in half and I need them side by side to be able to read the document.  I know I can use the vew menu and place them side by side but I also need to email this document out for other to read.  Can you help?

Hello,
I often take pdf web page captures, the problem is that the software, Adobe Acrobat Dc 2018 or other, splits them into several A4 pages and suddenly cuts right in the middle of the images or the table. Since these pdf are not intended for printing I would like to merge all A4 pages into one and the same pages, which will result in one huge page.
Is it possible to do this manipulation with Adobe Acrobat Dc or other and if so how?

I put a capture and the pdf as an example so that you can test if you want.
Can you help me please ?

Ps: Please answer in simple English because I am French and I use Google Translate.
Thank you ^^

Par défaut Acrobat Pro a tendance à bousiller les images lors de la conversion en PDF et lors de la reconnaissance de caractères, mais ça se règle (à deux endroits donc) :

- Préférences : Convertir vers PDF : PNG : choisir la compression ZIP ou JPEG2000 SANS PERTE

- Reconnaissance de caractères : Options (ou Réglages) : choisir le type de sortie IMAGE INDEXABLE (EXACTE)
