How to convert an 8x11 document to 11x14 in InDesign

[Deaf_Guy]

I've set up a 8x11 poster. Then at the last minute they also want it in 11x14. We're basically just emailing the posters as PDFs and folks can download it and then print it off of their local Xerox machine (no professional printing).

After version 1 was ready I was going to save a copy and then change dimensions to 11x14 then move everything around but there just seems to be an easier way to do this. Because the PDF is print-quality I'm even thinking just send the 8x11 to the printer but tell it to print on 11x14 but prefer just to set it up at the size they want.

Is there any easier way to do this in ID 2017 CC than how I plan to do it?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you need to resize an 8x11 document to 11x14. You can do that by using Adjust Layout Feature.

For more details, please refer to this help article: Adjust layout

Please note that this feature is recently introduced in the version 14.0.0. If you are using an older version then this feature would not be available.

Regards,

Thank you for your help. I have the older version and figured out another way. Just open up a new doc at 11x14, draw a box, and place the 8.5x11 doc into it. Then stretch it to fit making sure you don't distort it.

But thank you for explaining this on how to do in the newest and latest of ID.
