How To Change PDF Paper Sizes

Letter Size Bond Paper

The beauty about PDF conversion is that it makes working with your digital content in any number of ways easy. Yet while the PDF is meant to preserve your content, there are cases where you may need to make some adjustments to the document, such as changing the paper size.

When you print a PDF document, it’s completely possible to print that document on paper other than the standard 8.5 x 11 Letter size you work with in  MS Word for basic documents– essays, reports, and forms.

However, depending on what your PDF content is intended for, you may need those PDF pages to print to a different PDF paper size. Often times, professionals will be very specific when it comes to turning PDF files into a physical copy.

In fact, there are many different paper sizes that are used across different industries for different purposes. For instance, tabloid and ledger paper sizes (11 x 17 inches) are of  the same dimensions, but have different orientation. These two sizes are used commonly for print publications like magazines and newspapers and for keeping records and business ledgers. In such cases, it becomes essential to have your page resized and customized for such purposes.
