Yes. It is possible to scale a whole PDF page. Of course, you need the user & owner passwords, if there are any.
Several years ago, I wrote some command-line utilities to scale and tile images and PDFs. These utilities evolved into a Java-iText program known as ScaleAndTile3. If you do a Google search with "ScaleAndTile3 Segraves Rotary", you'll find links on RCGroups web site that will tell you how to get a copy of it. Look around message #41. When you have minimal proficiency with Java and iText, you shold be able to write a command-line program to do the taks at hand. I know it can be done, because I've done it. A web site with a set of books in HTML format (JPEGS of the pages of the original) was easily converted into a similar set of PDF pages, which are much easier to read in Adobe Reader. Hint: Look at the Toolbox that comes with the iText library. Good luck with your project. Best regards, Bill Segraves P.S. Please excuse the top-posting. AT&T just switched me over to Yahoo, and I haven't had time to configure it. ----- Original Message ---- From: Elmar Stellnberger <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 3, 2009 2:06:51 PM Subject: [iText-questions] scale pdfs Is it possible to scale a whole pdf page without having to decompose it? I found some code for scaling images stored as pdfs but not for scaling any type of pdf page. I need to scale pages in order to make them fit into margins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
