Scaling PDF Size with In Design

Why to Reduce or Enhance Document Size?

I got a job, it was tough but done smartly. Job was to Enhance Page Size of a News Magazine. Old size was 7.75 inch, width and 10.75 inch, height. New size was 8 inch-width and height proportionally to width. There was 100 editions of magazines with 16 pages in each edition. File was in Pagemaker 7 format. You can understand how much time will take to do that. But I used Adobe In Design to do the job. 

Below is the tutorial showing how I did it. I hope you will learn a new trick by reading this post.

Required Software

• Acrobat Professional 7 or latest
• Acrobat Distiller 
• Adobe InDesign

How can we create the PDF in new required size?

• First of all open your document with InDesign and press Ctrl+P to print the document.
• Change your General settings as shown in image below.
• Change Printer to Adobe PDF

• Now go to Setup Option. See image below for Print Setup Window (Shown below).

• Change the Paper Size in the new size, We have changed it in A4 because our new document size will be printed on A4 Size Page.
• Change Scale in new size. We have changed it to 108% proportionally.
• Change Page Position as you want. We have changed it in Centered.
• Now click on Print Option and follow some steps as we create a PDF in InDesign.
