When the user selects A2 it outputs an A2 poster, and similarly for the other options. Within these options is the option to Scale to any percentage.įor example, I can create a A0 poster, make it available for online – and create different Job Output Options – A0, A2, A4, A5 – and set the scale for each of these. In terms of design and layout it is still happening in InDesign and transposed to the software for the online documents.Ĭut a long story short – in the software I’m using for the distribution of print documents, I can setup a “Jobs” section which allows me to specify different output options. I’m working with software at the moment for making editable documents online – it’s very flexible. When you click OK, you’ll save your new scaled file with a new name. I edited a multi-page PDF that was 8-1/2 in by 11 in to 6.953 x 9 inches (I had to change millimeters to inches for units).ĥ. Edit the fix up to enter the sizes (and units) you need. Click the wrench icon which indicates “Fixups.” In the Search field to the right, enter “scale” and press Return. In the Preflight panel, in the list at the top, where it by default shows Essentials, select Acrobat Pro DC 2015 Profiles.ģ. Then click on Preflight in the options on the right.Ģ. In Acrobat Pro DC, open the Print Production tool. I used this fix up to take a PDF for some 8-1/2 x 11 slides for a class I’m teaching to a smaller size-6.953 x 9 inches.ġ. Since a lot of people don’t know about how to use Preflight in Acrobat Pro DC, here are the steps to use this feature. Operation is for all pages of a single PDF file. More after the jump!

I mentioned one of them in my posting on a better way to outline fonts.
Acrobat DC included some new Preflight profiles which weren’t in previous versions of Acrobat. But neither of these methods are much fun if you have a multi-page document.ĭov Isaacs, Adobe Principal Scientist, pointed to an answer that I didn’t know existed-using InDesign’s plug-in, Acrobat Pro DC. Or you could place the first PDF into InDesign and scale it smaller. You could make a copy of the artwork in InDesign and scale it smaller. Is there a way to simply create a smaller PDF rather than recreate the artwork? i.e. I have an A4 document and my client wants both A4 and A5 high res PDF. There is no setting for exporting a PDF at a different scaling value. That will create a PDF file which you can view at 100% size in a PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader.īut what if you want a copy of that PDF at a different size? That’s not so easy. Creating a print PDF from InDesign is easy: You just choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print) and pick a PDF preset.
