So I have a conundrum. My surpervisor has advised me that the page size is too small at A3. He suggests changing to A0. All of my diagrams have been inserted to the page. Is it possible to just export to PDF at A0 size by making the whole page bigger. I don't want to have to manipulate each image to make it the right size. See the page below. There are about 6 pages in the document.
There are many ways to do this. You could create an empty A0 document and import the A3 InDesign document, then you simply have to scale the imported file to match the A0 size. You can also use the “Adjust layout” feature

The option was PDF -comments or similiar. Could not see an option for pdf alone
File > Import (the same as you do to import any image file)

But can I change in my indesign file or export a A3 indesign file to A0 pdf.
I tried the link and got this error upon import:

While people say "Import" you don't use the Import menu! Use Place in the usual way.

You are right! I wrote “import” because this is how it appears in the French interface.

Hi @defaultpod0lxx2f0t6 ,
you could either place InDesign pages or exported PDF pages with A3 to a new A0 document.
Do this automatically and in the same process scale the imported pages using the MultipageImporter Script for InDesign. As you can see from the screenshot below you could scale the pages and also set other parameters like where the pages should be positioned on a given document:
The script was initially written by Scott Zanelli and is now curated by Mike Edel:
